I must admit I was rather unsurprised by the aggressiveness in this post. And for what. Saying to stop blaming the woman who released the video for male violence?
Same old, same old, innit. Aggression.
Of course it's someone's fault
To be very clear. I did not say it was no one’s fault. I said it was not the woman who released the video’s fault. The person’s fault it is, is the one who carried out the violence and threats. No one else’s.
Who on earth do you think wound him up into such a frenzy?
I am sure you will read that later and feel very ashamed. What a misogynistic view. The woman caused the males to be violent? So the males have also been infantalised here too. Like they have no control.
I'm normally polite and engage in good faith but, don't you dare have the audacity to absolve yourself of or at least absolve the GC ideology of responsibility for what happened. The nerve of you is astounding.
I don’t actually have the opinion of you that you engage in good faith. And truly, any person who posts on this board and talks about feminists the way you have tonight ‘GC are responsible for this’, is still not engaging in good faith.
No. People who believe that males should not be exposing their penis to little girls and women have certainly NOT caused this. In fact, THIS incident should never have happened and certainly not twice at the same spa.
Who was the group who lobbied to have that discrimination act voted in? Was it the women you are seeking to blame? NO! I dare say it was a trans lobby group. So, ultimately should we blame them?
I still vote for blaming the violent males for their own actions myself.
The nerve of me? Really? That is somewhat of an over reaction isn’t it? For pointing out that it is misogynistic to blame women for male violence? On a feminist forum?
People (including your own) were stabbed as a result of GC rhetoric.
They were stabbed because of violent males. Next you will be telling us that the group who set of smoke bombs in Grenfell did it as a result of ‘GC rhetoric’. That the kicking and screaming on the windows during the women’s conference was the result of ‘GC rhetoric’. That the death and rape threats women receive, that Joanne Rowling receives, is the result of ‘GC rhetoric’.
This is the same line of thought that allows people to declare themselves ’unsafe’ when they hear something they disagree with.
But, That woman who released the video to the public has sparked discussion and debate. Yes. She certainly has not changed the law. So she had simply raised awareness. If males cannot control themselves, they have the problem.
There are many issues I take with the trans side of the debate but, some of you have gotten into the metaphorical bed with the far right. this is such tired trope. Really it is. The violence directed at women discussing women’s rights is appalling. I keep posting about the people ‘the other side’ is aligned with. Seriously, hard to miss and again just hypocritical.
To say I'm disgusted of SW1 would be understating my feelings. what does this mean?
Awful, wake up because if you think these hoodlums won't be coming for you next then I think you've lived a sheltered life. so…. This is a threat then?
So… I take it if I don’t STFU I will deserve any violence and abuse I get because my ‘GC rhetoric’ made someone do it?
Rather incredible to post on a feminism forum for pointing out that people spreading lies to discredit a woman’s testimony of seeing a semi-erect penis in a female single sex space and for pointing out that she wasn’t responsible for male’s being violent.
