Organisation for women sharing sexual harassment stories capitulates to TRA

[Kit19]

The hours and hours of apologising fir wrong think is horrible to read

‘Sorry sorry we’ll do better please don’t hurt to us anymore’

FFS, that's gushing and so dramatic. Scripted by a TRA?

Jeez you couldn’t make this stuff up.

Do none of these people have a brain cell left they could use

I too wish to bully loads of people, how do I need to identify to make this seem amazing? I have loads of glitter and at least one plastic unicorn I could get my hands on in a hurry. Will this help?

That's just hate speech. Horses are unicorns too yet here you are, debating their existence. :(

Nobody has the right to erase horses by centring unicorns. This is literal violence, creating a hostile and dangerous environment for all horses, and you need re-education. Some horses will attack you in self-defence: when HERFs attack, they fight back! And that's absolutely important because we all need to ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Finally, the correct term isn't "unicorn" as that's inherently exclusionary. The correct term is "non-horse".

Bullying a women's organisation that supports women against sexual harassment, by forcing them to include men - is a perfect example of sexual harassment.

I think you’ll find unicorns are horses with an extra big forehead that just happens to be pointy so please do better as your words are literally killing unicorns.

@Deliriumoftheendless oh gosh you're right! Thank you so much for educating me. I recognise my own privilege sometimes leads me to make mistakes, and I need to work harder at being a better ally. Thank you for taking the time to perform this emotional labour.

That will have several results

The Trans activists get a warm glow from those women capitulating to bullying

Many women will ensure they don't do wrongspeak some many even believe those abused women were wrong to identify men as the sex which most harassers belong to

A number of women will view that with fear and resolve to be very very careful not to let their views show

For some women this will add to their wtf moments towards them realising this is a moment designed to keep women in their place and will start to fight (most likely covertly)

This post will get reported to the mods, I don't see anything in here that breaks the rules and I'll screenshot just in case I need to argue that point.

It’s just bullying and I’d bet many of the bullies couldn’t care less about trans people, they’ve just found a way to treat others like shit and get away with it.

I think a lot of misgynists on the left, who knew they had to espouse feminist views or they were Bad People (but treated the women around them like absolute dirt) have leapt eagerly on this. Now they can oppress, abuse, mansplain, demean, silence and threaten women all they like... and call it feminism.

“Please take your rape content off my timeline,” says the hamster avatar.

Checks hamster‘s profile, sees they’re the person who started the account dedicated to #MeToo in STEM 😳

Guess the only rape they find relevant is the kind involving an #Originaldique? 🤔 t.co/UuJUsxbIkI

"The vol is new to activism & mistook the message as feminist. They've been removed. Earlier, I tweeted w incomplete info in an attempt to be accountable. It was wrong. There are no hashtags in the offending posts. I'm sorry for the misinfo, it was my mistake. -

Holy crap, what the hell is that statement?! Genuinely concerned to see that cowering grovelling to men coming from an account about sexual harassment in science!

This is fascinating in a sick kind of way, watching how the cult of genderism has spread so fast and become so powerful and oppressive. It's like witnessing a new religion take over in real time.

It's like witnessing a new religion take over in real time.

What else could you call a belief system that denies reality, demands total conformity, and denigrates non-believers?

It reminds me of an abused person saying anything just to get the abuse to stop :(

Thanks for sharing this depressing information. Its like a relentless tide of not just male hatred of women, but the need to make sure they are punished and humiliated in public.

I wonder on a thread like this it would be a public show of suport for the woman sacked (and others) not to have their name clearly in the title. So when anyone google it comes up that there are women who support the right of women to women only services and campaigns.

Or maybe someone could think of a catchy hashtag that we could use to show we aren't being silenced.

I posted on twitter that the grovelling was really triggering for any of their members who'd experienced sexual harassment or worse, but I'm now wondering whether the triggering had already happened: that is, the people posting apologies, begging so desperately for the bullying to stop, are themselves reliving a nightmare.

If so, I have more sympathy, but at the same time think they're not fit for their supposed purpose.

That's an interesting point Medusa. The grovelling has been rather extreme.

This is really sad to see and when I see this I double down within myself and say that I will never capitulate like that

It’s the most Orwellian thing I’ve seen yet. Altho a lot of the knitting controversy apologies were similarly scripted

I see I cross-posted with Kit19, too. After all, the motivation for starting the organisation was (much as I've grown to hate this phrase) lived experience.
