If you are on twitter please report this tweet.

Even better please dig for their crowdfunder to challenge Scottish Government redfining women to include men. They are £18000 carrotts down and it would be a great help to them to have tangible help. Three days to go.

When they attended did they have to run the gauntlet of a crowd of gender critical women screaming abuse and then have the AGM disrupted by people outside the meeting banging on the windows?

fatblackcatspaw · 22/11/2020 16:10

it was on zoom so pretty safe! but good point.... but they have possibly 200-250 members I recon. Which is pants. Or possibly I should say Knickers.

Finally, I will never apologise for reacting to being referred to as 'it', whether it was intentional or not

You weren’t though. You misread the post, saw your arse over it, and are now still pretending that it happened.

It did not happen.

I was at the Engender AGM too. Totally gobsmacked to hear the words from Emma's mouth.

“I would like to be clear here that Engender is not funded for a huge amount of engagement and are not presenting our work as advocating on behalf of the members or as representative of women."

And yet they happily took £20 off me and others to become members. On whose behalf are they advocating for? I guess their own cosy little group and their mates? Who are they accountable to? They seemed unable or unwilling to even state how many members they had in total.

94% of their funding comes directly from the Scottish Government. It's quite pathetic.

And why have the following on their website?
Engender is Scotland’s feminist membership organisation. We are a membership organisation, and welcome all those who identify as feminist women to join us.

Yet the Scottish Government and Scottish ministers defer to this opaque group as if they are the authoritative voice for women in this country.

It wasn't either unintentional or intentional, because I didn't refer to you as "it." You misread my post. Please stop misrepresenting the situation. I have never referred to another human being as "it". I wouldn't even call a dog "it".

Reported.

ArcheryAnnie · 22/11/2020 17:07

(The vile twitter post. to be clear, not this thread!)

Escapeplanning · 22/11/2020 17:07

Everyone knows Eresh.

Why would a male person have a legal right to use a female only space Quaggars . They are the wrong sex !

Confused

Where did you even get that it could be me, when I don't think I've even posted anywhere on the thread at all yet?

Quaagars · 22/11/2020 17:41

I wouldn’t even take it personally, we’re all just one amorphous blob of wrongthink to MBD

Lol, just seen this - looks like that goes both ways on here then (see my previous post)

Apart from the fact that the poster who mixed you up with another poster actually admitted their mistake and apologised.

That was unfortunate, but we reach another dead end as you’ve quoted me in this post above, and it wasn’t me who mentioned you. I am well able to tell you from other posters, you punctuate using “lol”, MBD doesn’t. Easy.

Yeah, I know - that doesn't address my point which was where the heck did my name come into it when I'm not even on the bloomin' thread lol - just pointing out pretty funny people saying "all one big lump of wrongthink" seemingly goes both ways Grin

Quaagars · 22/11/2020 18:17

Confused I know. Did I say it was you who quoted me? No, I didn't, but I was just laughing at the irony of your comment when it seemingly goes both ways. That's all.
SophocIestheFox · 22/11/2020 18:25

Which is an example of you grouping people together, no?

Forget it, I can’t be arsed. It’s a stupid, nit picking debate of exactly the sort that you seem to enjoy so much, and they’re boring, every single time (lol)

Quaagars · 22/11/2020 18:28

I was mentioned. So I commented.
Forgot you weren't allowed to pick up on stuff directed at you though, and are supposed to just let it slide. Hmm Biscuit

334bu · 22/11/2020 19:19

Quaggars it was me who mistakenly tagged you. At the time I was commenting on a couple of threads, one of which you were on and I mistyped your name on this thread . Please accept my apologies.

Quaagars · 22/11/2020 19:40

No worries Smile

334bu · 22/11/2020 19:41

Thank you.Smile
