I don't know an awful lot about it other than a woman was dragged to the floor by 1 or 2 trans activists males (of course).

It's absolutely shocking.

There's a video going around but I don't know how to post it here! These are the 2 thugs involved though.

I hope Belstaffie is OK.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 12/03/2022 20:53

It's hard to "pass" when you're beating a woman, isn't it?

Hope Belstaffie is ok. Horrible for her.

OvaHere · 12/03/2022 21:03

Just awful. Hope Belstaffie and the other women are okay.

Like the behaviour on display at FiLiA it's quite clear that that all feminist activism is considered a target. This was a march/vigil about male violence against women and not specifically to do with trans activism.

Perhaps the usual defenders who pop up on FWR could explain why this is?

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/03/2022 21:12

Yes OvaHere I wonder where they are ?

littlbrowndog · 12/03/2022 21:23

Yeah belstafiee said she was attacked by men twice. Fuckers. Hope they get caught

Theeyeballsinthesky · 12/03/2022 21:27

Ah the right side of history strikes again!

greyinganddecaying · 12/03/2022 22:14

Ffs - males attack women on a March against VAWG? It gets worse.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 12/03/2022 23:18

I saw.on Twitter that there was an arrest:

Imagine this was a protest about male violence then belstaffie was assaulted

Nowt to do with trans

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 12/03/2022 23:32

Nowt to do with trans

I suspect that is what the objection was...

littlbrowndog · 12/03/2022 23:33

I’m afraid i dont know who belstaffie is (I’ll have a google in a minute)

But i am so sorry this happened to you and i really hope those two nasty pieces of work feel the full force of the law

I doubt it to be honest but fingers crossed and I hope belstaffie is ok 💐

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 13/03/2022 08:44

Oh my goodness even a quick google shows what an outstanding women belstaffie is!

DomesticatedZombie · 13/03/2022 10:21

Shocking to hear this, glad those who attacked women protesting were arrested.

greyinganddecaying · 13/03/2022 15:29

Belstaffie is pretty amazing 😍

I really hope they prosecute these men/people involved.

NitroNine · 13/03/2022 17:40

Claim from The Other Side* is that they were attacked after the traditional, universally accepted & totally non-violent action of “throwing a milkshake over a fascist”.

  • TRAs, am not conducting a seance - although use of automatic writing would explain much about genderist contributions on social media & in print media Hmm
DomesticatedZombie · 13/03/2022 17:54

Is there footage of what happened?

Throwing liquid over anyone is wrong. HTH.

Imnobody4 · 13/03/2022 18:01

He's been let off with a caution, why am I not surprised.
Belstaffe has just tweeted.
#MaleViolence. When a man targets a woman leading chants against male violence, by throwing bottles of milkshake over her from behind, twice, and then @gmpolice decide only to caution him, women we have a huge misogyny problem on the streets! t.co/IkvKvTCGeu t.co/q7BnzJT2aD

Gumbomambo · 13/03/2022 19:03

Absolutely disgusting behaviour. What on Earth did he think he was going to achieve by this? I’m sure he calls himself a feminist too. Belstaffie IS a feminist the work she did on the Holbeck zone and the support for those women alone is outstanding. Her knowledge of MVAWG and offender patterns is encyclopaedic, she’s a pretty prominent figure in the northern womens rights movement so I suppose this is why she was targeted. Can you imagine one of us attacking a trans person like this? I can’t.

Redshoeblueshoe · 13/03/2022 20:23

A caution - fucking really.

IdentifyingAsAPrincess · 13/03/2022 21:04

Special perpetrator though.

There's a video of people trying to restrain him and comments like "I'm sorry that happened to you just because of who you are" Grin The prick spun it as he is a victim. It reminds me so much of sign guy with the Dave is funny sign.
This is my favourite quote Oh shit! I'm so sorry this happened! TERFs seem to be so very violent against EVERYONE who disagrees with them.

They always (publicly) call for debate then resort to out & out violence because all they know is attacking people as a way of defending themselves.

Waitwhat23 · 13/03/2022 21:17

I'd be interested to know why this person only received a caution while the person who threw a milkshake over Nigel Farage was charged with common assault, had to undertake community service and pay damages -

"Nigel Farage milkshake attack: Man spared jail after admitting assault on Brexit Party leader | The Independent | The Independent" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/paul-crowther-nigel-farage-milkshake-assault-brexit-party-newcastle-court-a8963321.html?amp

NitroNine · 13/03/2022 21:19

I suppose a caution is better than a couple of years ago where Belstaffie would have been made to apologise & buy them a new milkshake.

Not an original thought in their head, either: it’s not - despite their assertion - a meme or a trend. I note they’ve not punched the so-called Nazi (just done some casual punching down) despite that ACTUALLY being a meme. They are just so angry, so desperate for attention, & so devoid of, well, many things, that they made a cowardly assault on a woman standing up for the rights of women - and are now hiding behind their own skirts.
