WTF! How can any University allow a member of their staff to behave like this on a public site?

Feel sick! And he is being enabled and protected by his workplace.

Didn't McKinnon get Martina thrown off a sporting body (that McKinnon still sits on)?

If so, they need to know just what their ambassador is doing.

CassianAndor · 14/09/2019 08:07

MNHQ’s decision to zap the other thread for misgendering was disgraceful.

  • they/their, as in the organisation. I'm not bowing down to using a plural pronoun for an individual here.
Ameanstreakamilewide · 14/09/2019 08:10

Indeed, Lord.

The fact that the university and none of Rachel's sponsors respond or condemn his Tweets, absolutely drives me up the wall.

Are they afraid to, cos if they do, they'll feel the full weight of the TRA's aggression?

I blame them equally for enabled him.

Harrop's awfully quiet...he obviously learned his lesson the last time he deviated from the cult's playbook. 🤨

One of us.
One of us.

McKinnon obviously feeds off attention. Unhinged and abhorrent individual. I fear that the university will simply take the excuse at face value. I don't know why, I wouldn't want this person associated with me in any way.

Magdalen Burns burned so brightly. She was something those repulsive individuals could never be, in so many ways.

57Varieties · 14/09/2019 08:21

Sick. Just sick. What a deprived individual

57Varieties · 14/09/2019 08:21

Depraved

Wurzelsnewhead · 14/09/2019 08:28

I wish someone would give me a job ie income for life and free rein to spew contemptible shit that by association smears the organisation I work for, all without any comeback. Untouchable - no wonder RM feels able to openly post the shit swirling around their brain .
Although to be fair, the NSPCC likes to protect their own dodgy staff too, maybe we should all claim a new gender/ kink identity and instantly become untouchable too. .

Boireannachlaidir · 14/09/2019 08:34

He's an inadequate cheat and a very seriously disturbed and deluded individual.

I can't even pretend he's a Dr, let alone a woman and certainly not a professional athlete.

RIP Magdalen. You clearly got to him and believe me, he knows you're right.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/09/2019 08:42

Oh, I'm more than happy to acknowledge the PhD - I'm delighted the wiki page now includes the title:

"Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of Assertion and Why You Don't Need to Know What You're Talking About".[4]

And also to point out that despite working in a field where most of us have PhDs (science not philosophy) I've never once heard anyone say, as McKinnon idiotically or misleadingly did 'I am a Doctor'.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 14/09/2019 08:56

Did he really say that, Errol?? I think my toes snapped off at all the curling they just did. 😧

As Rachel once said to Ross, in Friends

'If I have a heart attack in restaurant, I want you there with your fossil brush'.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 14/09/2019 09:05

My new resolution, after Magdalen’s death, is to be more Magdalen. I shall write to all involved in employing this vile human being.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/09/2019 09:09

Yep. IIRC (though could be wrong) the context was one in which being a medical doctor might lend authority to their argument - whereas the thesis title rather suggests otherwise.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 14/09/2019 09:20

Errol, the comment about the witch being dead was a friend/follower of McKinnon, who is UK based, and had retweeted the notice about Berns' death. I'm not on twitter so not quite sure of how the sequence of tweets went - I guess the further down ones were posted first?

Noqont · 14/09/2019 09:21

Clearly a deranged male that posted that. I can't imagine any woman being that disgusting.

Ereshkigal · 14/09/2019 09:26

Have I missed this traditional way of marking Friday 13th all these years? I must be more unobservant than I'd realised.

Really? I find Friday 13th is so commercialised these days. All those skeleton costumes in the shops every time it rolls around.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 14/09/2019 09:27

I saw a post on twitter that said something like ‘Magdalen- Rest In Power’.

She has become a rallying point for women - shorthand for ‘we will not take the crap from men’. Her name will be remembered long after Wozzitname the M cyclist one’ ever will be.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 14/09/2019 09:29

Harry the Owl has offered to take cyclist outside. Someone said the cyclist is coming to Manchester in October. Interesting.

BlueCornsihPixie · 14/09/2019 09:44

What a vile human being.

At the end of the day, if Rachel McKinnon truelly beleived they were a woman, Magdelens words would be like water off a ducks back. If someone called me a man I would just laugh, because I'm not. It proves that Rachel knows Magdelen spoke the truth. He's acting like a small child caught out in a lie

ErrolTheDragon · 14/09/2019 09:49

I'm not in the least in favour of male violence as a response, TBH.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 14/09/2019 09:51

Male on male?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 14/09/2019 09:51

And it was an offer not a command.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 14/09/2019 09:58

Google image search for 'Friday 13th'. No dancing skeleton anywhere that I can see, not one.

WTF! How can any University allow a member of their staff to behave like this on a public site?
ScrimshawTheSecond · 14/09/2019 09:59

Google image search for 'dancing on grave gif'. The very first one.
