Man "comfortable" with the abuse of women because he disagrees with them

[FairfaxAikman]

Appalling piece where a man tells a woman (JK Rowling) she has no right to defend her legal rights.

It's condoning the sexualised abuse of women. So many trans activists telling JKR to “choke on a dick” and replying to kids drawings with porn yet the author states he’s “comfortable” with all this because he disagrees with her views.

What a misogynist!

He's based in Canada so I suggest he interviews Yaniv and see if he still thinks Transwomen are women and pose no threat to natal women

It’s Sixth Form piece. No real thought.

A lot of people seem to be missing the point that if 150 nobodies signed that letter Harper’s wouldn’t have printed it and nobody would care, it has to be powerful people who are well known because they will be heard and can stand up for the people who can’t stand up for themselves.

He sounds like a nasty misogynistic creep, like many woke men.

Anyone who can say Trans women are women, Joanne, and the science supports that. is really not worth trying to reason with.

As Germaine Greer said half a century ago, Women have very little idea of how much men hate them. I thought when I read it Ooh that's a bit harsh. Which shows how little idea I had ...

Deliberately. It's a deflection tactic.

I’m comfortable with people attacking her when she says appalling things. Trans women are women, Joanne, and the science supports that.

Fuck off Mike.

Next!

Sigh. Yet another exemplar of the old trope about "God give me the confidence of a mediocre man." Or in this case, a particularly stupid and ill-informed man.

I know. This person is saying that any man who identifies as a woman tomorrow, is by definition a woman and there is no difference between any one of these men and women. How would "the science" support that exactly?

There is no gate keeping. TWAW. Don't think about what you are saying. Just intone the mantra.

One more time: dozens of rich and successful people want the rest of us to stop arguing with them, so they used their connections to fight back.

This take says so much about its proponents. "If I was rich and successful I wouldn't give a fuck about anyone else." I've got great news for you, Mike, you can be a self-centred asshole without needing to be rich and successful! Fortunately for you, you don't have to be a distinguished intellectual or an accomplished author or an iconoclastic investigative journalist before you get to be a total shithead! You can have total shitheadery right now, in the comfort of your own home, without even getting up from your Homer Simpson toilet chair.... oh, I see you're already aware. Congratulations on achieving everything that riches and success could ever offer you, now fuck off.

He's probably also comfortable with women being raped and killed the way they are every single day on this planet. Wokebros are repulsive. Men are so proud of their misogyny it's almost unreal.

What a creep. Abuse is not criticism. No-platforming is not disagreement.

They are. It's really jarring, isn't it, that these men are often the ones claiming to be feminist. It's another form of colonisation.

I am finding this new "vile misogynistic abuse often involving rape threats and dick pics is free speech and criticism" angle particularly upsetting gaslighting, to be honest.

Oh, ignore the tragic little nonentity. Why give him the attention he so sorely craves, when he so sorely lacks the talent to deserve it?

So disingenuous, we all know cancel culture is not about honest debate but about silencing disagreement.

In fact, sadly, reflecting further, I'd even stand up for misogynistic little twits against their being treated in the way JK Rowling is being treated, because it's wrong.

I might think they're a complete waste of space with some thoroughly nasty views, and want to share as little oxygen with them as possible, but normal, emotionally and socially competent people do not illtreat others themselves, or stand by while they're being illtreated. Even the truly grotty others. Some behaviours are unjustifiable, and most people over the age of six have a handle on this.

Men can't be feminists anyway. Liberal feminism is all about pandering to men and that is why it will never work. Radical feminism is the only way forward. They can be allies but they prove that they will continue shouting over women because people with penises refuse to be quiet and allow women to speak about their experiences.

Completely agree, DandyMandy
