Just wondering if anyone's seen this on Twitter. Quite a funny, interesting thread, eg

#AskDanielRadcliffe When was the last time you showed solidarity with trans activists by dating a trans woman, and what steps are you taking to unlearn your genital preferences?

Is the first one that showed up when I clicked. Sorry if it's old news.

You are providing me with a lot of laughs. Sadly people may well give up talking to you soon....

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking

All over the internet ? Isnt this half the problem? I have long believed that the split amongst feminists regarding Trans has been manipulated by the Right. Keeping everyone's eyes of the actual prize.

To add I think JKR made an appalling mistake posting her rhetoric during Pride Month and the BLM protests.

Do you believe we’re ruled over by giant lizards too?

Ninght night everyone. xxx

That you can choice not to hurt you.

Wouldn't that also apply to Daniel Radcliffe, who you were pearl clutching about being threatened on Twitter (even though such a thing hasn't happened)

And you do seem very quiet on the subject of women, including JKR, receiving the exact same sexually violent threats that you imagined were being directed at DR?

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking

No Jemima DrD did not. That is very clear.
The point I was making is the type pile on a woman gets for speaking her truth on Twitter is a world away from the type of pile on a man gets.

And yes the language used is abhorent and shameful and funnily enough all from a certain demographic.

I wonder why that could be?

littlbrowndog · 15/06/2020 21:52

Not the GIANT LIZARDS 😂😂😮

maxicheddar · 15/06/2020 21:54

Its so frustrating though. Just typical of the imbalance of power.

DR, one single man, gets to make a personal pronouncement about something that affects billions of women, and that was intended to exert influence and sway the opinions of billions in favour of TWAW, and yet even a fraction of the actual women he is affecting aren't able to object to him personally in case it looks like a pile on?

Even though he clearly would be happy and be proud if his one man's opinion made a difference in this matter and the opinions of millions of women were ignored.

Once again, there is simply no mirror image between the sexes and what we go through.

I don't agree with anything that goes to personal insults, but women absolutely should be able to challenge his remarks, even if they are couched in satire or sarcasm. Why should he get to try to wield his personal influence but then be personally unaccountable? It is a gross and infuriating insult to women and the concept of fairness and equality.

You filled your card! Grin

Goodnight

JemimaShore · 15/06/2020 21:55

Yeah I can't believe that comment about "during Pride month and BLM protests".

It's actually an admission that women are bottom of the pile when it comes to talking about themselves and their rights.

When is the right time for women to considered equal human beings, or talk about themselves and their rights? "Put the kettle on love, we'll talk about this after the revolution..." Right?

DrDavidBanner · 15/06/2020 21:57

Well said @maxicheddar

Ereshkigalangcleg · 15/06/2020 21:57

Oh yes..about Angela Davis...perhaps a few more credentials than the kids book writer?

So? It is my opinion that she's fundamentally wrong on this. And that JK Rowling is right. TWAW is an article of faith, so her credentials are irrelevant. She's certainly not the only one.

Gawd we have to give the world a calendar and them let the whole world fill it in and decide when women can speak

FantaOra · 15/06/2020 21:59

It's a bit bonkers to describe a tool like Twitter used entirely in the way it was designed to be used, ie large numbers of people interacting, as "piling on". If you want to reach people without getting any replies, pay for advertising.

DuDuDuLangaLangaBingBong · 15/06/2020 21:59

I have long believed that the split amongst feminists regarding Trans has been manipulated by the Right. Keeping everyone's eyes of the actual prize.

What do you think the actual prize IS?

I want my daughter to not have to see a penis in the ladies change area at the swimming pool, and for female in prison and secure psychiatric units to not be locked in with Male people. I want all my smears and mammograms to be carried out by healthcare workers who also have cervixes and breasts.

If that’s right wing then I better cut up my Labour membership card.

Anyway, back to Daniel Radcliffe - has anyone suggested he die in a grease fire yet? Or threatened him with a pink and blue baseball bat? I expect not, that tends to be reserved for non-compliant cunty-people, not penis-people who happily roll over and offer up women’s boundaries for other penis-people to transgress.

littlbrowndog · 15/06/2020 21:59

Nice post maxi cheddar 💪💪

Ereshkigalangcleg · 15/06/2020 21:59

That's about it, littlbrowndog.

Alternatively, fuck that.

Smile, you are now just incoherent. You were funny and incoherent for a while but it's just tedious now.

So no Gay people or women? No BAME are women? Your myopic view is blinding you. Only the Trans issue matters obviously.

Have you been sniffing glue?

Gay female people and BAME female people are included in female spaces and feminist action. Trans female people are too (but they tend to opt out).

The trans issue matters because we don’t accept that humans can change sex and we don’t want male people in single-sex spaces designated for females.

JemimaShore · 15/06/2020 22:04

She's wealthy because she is an incredibly successful writer Smile - never forget that she fled an abusive relationship practically penniless. She also happens to have given millions to charities, and set up her own.

Is this the level you always resort to? Bizarre misinterpretations of other people's posts, goadiness and glossing over misogyny, on the Feminism and Women's Rights board, to dismiss other women's voices?

If you want to discuss what Angela Davis opines about it, go ahead. But we're not all going to bow down and fawn over what she says.
