"I am not a platonic idea, nor a feeling. I exist. I am. And defending my real existence should not be revolutionary, or forbidden."

No soy una idea platónica, ni un sentimiento. Existo. Soy. Y defender mi existencia real no debería ser revolucionario, ni estar prohibido.

Glad they didnt drink the cool aid there!

So why is there a picture of someone with a ‘kill the terf’ t shirt?

Igneo · 23/10/2021 16:34

AND banners saying things like if your not abolitionist then you’re not a feminist.

Igneo · 23/10/2021 16:34

Death to radfems?

TeamRex · 23/10/2021 16:44

I don't think those pictures are part of the women's demonstration.

They are counter protesters.

Oh blimey I thought it would not be simple!!

FindTheTruth · 23/10/2021 16:57

The videos of hundreds / thousands of women singing ❤️

banners include:

'Being a woman is not a feeling'

Sex not gender, gender is oppression

against the erasure of women

"'If we don't fight together, they will kill us separately'" 😭
"Trading with a poor woman’s uterus is a crime"
"I am a woman, not a gestating body"
'For the end of male VAWG, abolition of prostitution and gender ideology'

It shouldn't take courage to attend such a march but it does.

So many brave women responding to the call to stand up for women in these oppressive times.

True Embarrassing. What's shocking is the media in Spain not reporting it. just one 20 second clip (careful not to show the size of the crowd). The government says nothing. The media says nothing. Full blown patriarchy. Thousands upon thousands of women have travelled by bus during the night to be in Madrid for the start of the demonstration. They only know about it through each other. remind you of something?

That makes me feel quite emotional. It's not something I feel able to talk to friends about (and my employer is so far up Stonewall's arse I couldn't voice anything to colleagues) so the only exposure I really get to this issue is on this board.

It makes me feel proud that women in other countries are willing to stand up to this.

Well done them!

Is that an old picture or does that person turn up everywhere in that t-shirt
FindTheTruth · 23/10/2021 17:37

Catnamedeaster they inspire the world. Radfems in Oslo are outside the Spanish embassy protesting too. wonder why we didn't know about it here?

So happy to read this!

NiceGerbil · 23/10/2021 18:05

So the that's what a handful of Russian bots and women with multiple sock accounts looks like.

OhHolyJesus · 23/10/2021 19:24

And yet there is apparently a media blackout.

Has this been covered by the Spanish media, hell, any media, anywhere?

ArabellaScott · 23/10/2021 19:53

Solidaridad!

Brave women. Star

Fleek · 23/10/2021 20:43

It's so touching to see them in such large numbers. And there are lots of young women there too. Well done them. I wish I was there

1Week · 23/10/2021 20:49

Fair play to them.

CreepingDeath · 23/10/2021 20:50

I really wish we could organise something similar.

MiladyBerserko · 23/10/2021 21:54

Wel done Spanish sisters, so inspiring.
