Anyone going to College Green this afternoon for the rally?
I am hoping to if I am feeling better - crappy cold, and hope the weather holds.

As it ever was.

In essence, women are getting blamed for the behaviour of dickhead males on both sides. Have I got that right?

Dickhead males in America, no less.

I don't accept responsibility for the actions of the convicted football hooligan in my street when he creates trouble after our team plays, so I'm damned if I'm going to take the blame for violent men in America.

I'm irritated because I found myself in conversation with both Helly and Cheesey, and it now sounds like that was just me falling for a stirrer. More fool me.

I was told by a TRA poster on here that I specifically was responsible for the violence between Antifa and the Proud Boys following the Wi Spa incident in Los Angeles.

lol. Of course they didn’t consider blaming the sex offender transwoman who got his dick out for the (little) girls.

They always make it so obvious they don’t see transwomen as women.

Helleofabore · 27/06/2022 15:16

No Unicorn, they did not consider blaming anyone but me and all other women stating that no males should ever have been allowed into the female only section of WiSpa. And they were subsequently banned that very night...

I remember that!

Why is it that mumsnetters are responsible for the actions of men fighting, but TRAs aren't responsible for the behaviour of male people in women's spaces?

Helleofabore · 27/06/2022 15:48

I have no idea Purgatory. It is a mystery, isn't it?

Like the work I put in on the LGB Alliance thread showing the horrific quotes from transitioned males to highlight that not everything is loving, inclusive and 'happy' in that community and those quotes were not even acknowledged. Indeed, even more worrying, the direct quotes showing the homophobic overtones of statements from Stonewall's Nancy Kelley were similarly ignored.

Those that do this seem to have a huge blindspot that is visible clearly to readers. It actually does the community they are evangelically supporting harm with that degree of avoidance.

But they can never see it.

Rules of Misogyny

  1. Women are responsible for what men do.
  2. Women saying no to men is a hate crime.
  3. Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.
  4. Women’s opinions are violence against men, thus male violence against women is justified.
  5. Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.
  6. Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breastfeeding babies deserve punishment.
  7. Women should always be grateful to men for everything.
  8. Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.
  9. Men always know the “real reasons” for everything women do and say.
10. The worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad. 11. Whatever women suffer from, it is worse when it happens to men. 12. Women’s ability to recognize male behavior patterns is misandry. 13. Angry women are crazy. Angry men have trouble expressing themselves. 14. Women have all the rights they need: The right to remain silent. 15. Men are the default human. Women are strange subhuman others. 16. Everyone owns and controls women’s bodies except the women themselves.

Does anyone remember TRAs protesting some women who were giving some feminist material to a library, and holding a little talk outside, whilst Tommy Robinson was holding a rally in the same city? The TRAs cited 'safeguarding concerns' as the reason for not protesting Robinson.

*I might not have the details entirely correct, but it definitely happened.

Was KJK with him? Sorry, low hanging fruit joke…

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 27/06/2022 20:34

Sorry, low hanging fruit joke…

I didn’t get it?

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 27/06/2022 20:36

I don't get it either. No offence to your sense of humour, Billi but the autism means I sometimes don't get jokes. Can you explain?

Billi77 · 27/06/2022 20:39

Just a narky reference to KJK and TR hanging out. Very happy to move on.

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything humorous, Potholes.

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 27/06/2022 20:41

is that a thing that happened or are you doing a libel?

Billi77 · 27/06/2022 20:45

Apologies if I got that wrong. I picked up that nugget of potential libel from this very forum. Did KJK ever have anything to do with Tommy Robinson? Google takes me to TRA pages..

I’m a big fan of Vanetti.

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 27/06/2022 20:55

Shun Vanetti, everyone!

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 27/06/2022 20:58

Am I the only one who doesn't use Telegram/follow Tommy Robinson's social media now?!

Is it compulsory, like wearing mood rings and having a lava lamp used to be?

And what is a vanetti? Is this like viennetta ice cream?

I think they were briefly banned (feck knows why - being a woman in possession of a uterus?), but they seem to be back now.

FOJN · 28/06/2022 18:55

Thanks, I only just saw the email from yesterday and posted before checking!
