Yes I’m angry, women are allowed to be. I’m angry at misogynistic white supremacist twats, I’m angry at people who choose to increase said twats revenue and publicity without even questioning their views and I’m angry at so called feminists who see no issue with this.

But you're getting nowhere, with all of that, early.

You don't like the man, take it up with him. You don't like Posie talking to him, take it up with her. You don't like us thinking she has a right to do what she wants, too bad.

Go to the source of your rage.

Unless, of course, you already are.

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 13:14

Not controlling what other people can and can't do and have "no issues with it" are two different things.

Absolutely. I’m referring to the people who literally, see no issue with it.

For whatever reason. Right down to the ‘won’t somebody think of the white supremacist children’

Hmm
CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 17/10/2019 13:19

see no issue with it

She isn't even a member of this site. What she does has nothing to do with us.

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 13:27

It’s not jsut Posie who has no issue though is it captain? As is evident by this thread.

It’s about more than Posie, she showed who she was ages ago, in my opinion.

It’s about how low people are happy to stoop in the ‘trans fight’, and who you’re happy to see thrown under the bus in the process.

LangCleg · 17/10/2019 13:30

It’s about how low people are happy to stoop in the ‘trans fight’, and who you’re happy to see thrown under the bus in the process

Couldn't agree more. For example: the children of right wing parents.

You're so bad at this, Early.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 17/10/2019 13:32

It’s about how low people are happy to stoop in the ‘trans fight’, and who you’re happy to see thrown under the bus in the process.

But the ‘trans fight’ (Your words) is being perused by thousands of unconnected people, individuals have various different standards.

It’s not just Posie who has no issue though is it captain? As is evident by this thread.
Your issue seems to be very much about Posie (Who isn't a member of this forum) and the way she does her business (Which again is nothing to do with any of us here).

Datun · 17/10/2019 13:36

Early, Posie has written a statement, which you seem to think is a pack of lies.

If you don't like it, take it up with the person you think is lying.

Stop blaming the women here for this man, this man's ideas, Posie talking to this man, and Posie writing a statement that you, personally, think is lies.

It's extraordinary.

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 13:37

For example: the children of right wing parents.

I hope you’re not implying that right wing people get their information on child protection from white supremacists YouTube? How horribly judgemental of you.

captain clearly I’m referring to the people here Hmm

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 17/10/2019 13:39

captain clearly I’m referring to the people here

But you are not, you are telling people that posie (Who isn't here) has stooped low.

Everyone is telling you it has nothing to do with us, it's not our issue or problem. Thousands of unconnected people are pushing against this with varying self standards. Posie is one of them.

What is it you would like for us to do?

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 13:42

I am annoyed at the people here who are condoning a feminist talking to a white supremacist and thus generating him revenue and publicity in the name of feminism

Posie can do whatever, it was clear who she was a long time ago, people here can also hold whatever views they have obviously but if you condone this interview, that is where my issue lies. And several people do.

It’s not just about the people here, it’s about the people reading too. And there’s a good chance other ethnic minority women will read this thread and some may feel the same shit feeling I did, that ‘feminists’ these days don’t give a shit.

So yes I’ll post what I like and express my anger however I like. If you want to educate little white supremacy children, you go right ahead but don’t pretend you give a shit about women while you’re doing it, because a good portion of women aren’t white.

oh, like the OP, who posted the video here?

Posie has explained in her statement. But you think it's lies. You are annoyed at people over something that you think someone is lying about!!

If you think Posie is lying, take it up with her. We can't be blamed for you thinking Posie is lying!!!

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 13:54

People were condoning the interview before the statement even came out datun, you are clutching at straws now.

What Posie did or didn’t know before the interview, only she knows but the action remains and those who think it’s fine anyway are just as bad.

zebrasdontwearbras · 17/10/2019 14:03

I am annoyed...

Yeah. I think we got that.

It's getting a bit much now -it's beginning to look disproportionate, if i'm honest.

Earlywalker · 17/10/2019 14:13

Yeah when you’ve lived with racism your whole life it’s hard not to get annoyed when white supremacists are involved.

Disproportionate anger is never considered when you’re being called CIS but when it concerns people who literally want to bring segregation back it’s disproportionate. Hmm

2BthatUnnoticed · 17/10/2019 14:19

Someone’s clutching at straws all right but it’s not Datun.

zebrasdontwearbras · 17/10/2019 14:24

Your anger towards Posie is disproportionate. For days you've gone on about it. She only talked to the guy, and sh's been very clear that she doesn't agree with his views.

Be angry at YouTube for supporting such an objectionable man, maybe? Have you reported his channel?

Be angry at the racist man himself perhaps - rather than the woman who talks to him.

GlitterToast · 17/10/2019 14:25

It is interesting that Louis Theroux never gets such backlash. If anything, he’s applauded for chatting to those with extreme viewpoints.

Why then is Posie getting such criticism?

Datun · 17/10/2019 14:25

People were condoning the interview before the statement even came out datun, you are clutching at straws now.

This might be difficult for you to understand, early, but I have absolutely no problem believing that Posie is coming from a place of genuine worry about children.

Neither do I have any problem understanding that her MO will frequently disregard the politics of the people she is speaking to.

Posie is not a white supremacist, neither does she advocate for white supremacy. The suggestion is absurd.

What you want is to undermine Posie and her activism, and you want to condemn us for not joining you.

Which is ironic, given that your initial premise was that Posie was undermining you and your activism.

You have run the gamut of reasons. She's undermining you. She is leaving you with no credibility when you talk about her activism. She's racist. She advocates for white supremacy. We are condoning white supremacy.

All nonsense.

None of it is working. It never does. It never will.

2BthatUnnoticed · 17/10/2019 14:29

I’ve lived with racism all my life so I sympathise. Why not go over to guy’s Twitter and tell him?

Or go talk to PP on Facebook?

If you’re angry with those two people (and fair enough too) why talk to a bunch of women with no connection to either?

TequilaPilates · 17/10/2019 14:35

You seem very cross with this man tequila. Please, why don't you divert your rage to him. Rather than random women here.

Because I don't want to engage with a person like that. I don't want to watch any videos on his YouTube channel either. If he has monetinised them then he gets revenue from people watching or at the very list increases his clicks.

And why am I talking about this video? Because it is what the thread is about.

The hypocrisy shown on here is astounding. I cannot begin to fathom how anyone who claims to be a feminist can even begin to defend this action.

2BthatUnnoticed · 17/10/2019 14:37

Also your post about ethnic minority women feeling down because “feminists don’t give a shit” Confused is racist imo because it implies that those “ethnic minority” women are not feminist themselves, only a passive audience to feminism.

Many are.

Datun · 17/10/2019 14:40

🤣 you are genuinely making me laugh out loud.

TequilaPilates · 17/10/2019 14:42

Oh do give over. The argument has already been made that the far right are already anti trans - so who has she educated or informed by doing this, if she's talking to people who already have the same view as her on this issue?

I would imagine that the children of far right parents need protection and safe guarding from a good many things before the trans gender issue tbh.

2BthatUnnoticed · 17/10/2019 14:50

Teq I trawled his Twitter as I didn’t want to give clicks. And while, sadly, he is an asshole (denunciation 8 or 9.. losing track) he was not hostile, aggressive or demeaning in any way. In fact, more polite and less woman-hating than your average TRA.

So if you’ve dealt with them you’ll find him a breeze Smile
