Linda Carter - Wonderwoman!

[antifascist]

what a star! if only so many on Mumsnet could do the same

"I cannot think of anything that helps women’s rights less than pinning the blame on trans women. They face so much violence and scrutiny as is. Leave them alone and focus on the real war on women. It’s happening in the courts and legislatures around this country."

Haven’t read the thread but 😂😂😂😂

Lol

The ones with the drive-by comments on 'what FWR is like' but never ever ever engage properly are always distinctive. You can tell because they can't even set out their own position coherently, let alone have any accurate idea of what 'GC' is... best just nodding kindly and scrolling on by....

Hallelujah!

...

Amen!

Badlifeday - oh, thanks - I'll have to check the listings better!

It's interesting to see how few people on this thread are actually distancing themselves from that quote - I would have hoped there would be more responses saying along the lines of 'Pinning the blame on trans women is not what GC feminism about, rather ....' and finding nuance to distinguish a position which is less antagonistic.

Why is that not happening out of interest? I'm hoping that failure is not a tacit acknowledgement that this is what GC feminism is about?

Not going to be able to respond if anyone addresses that as I'm heading out but don't take that as an indication of flouncing haha.

Because you can’t reason with fanatics. There’s no ‘pinning the blame’ on anyone for anything. Men just can’t be women. That will be true for as long as humans exist. I’m not going to waste my time arguing about it with the woman who used to play Wonderwoman.

Because it's self evidently incorrect, if you understood anything about feminist criticism of trans activism/ideology. Never mind the fact that the OP isn't posting in good faith, they want to start an argument or simply just give everyone they perceive as "fascist" a good telling off. Why they haven't been banned for it idk, given how many of their posts are like this and how many get deleted.

Because, Suggestions, decisions to interact with a thread has as much to do with who is posting and why, as to the subject matter.

Sorry. Should have refreshed. Crossed with Roses.

Well said. I wish this was posted to every HR department in the country

Why is it when I see a post by antifascist I always automatically find a scene featuring Rick from The Young Ones running through my head….?

Antifascist is an unfortunate homonym, makes me think of racist uncle!

I always hear antifascist’s posts in Alexei Sayle’s voice.
which autocorrect just insisted should be Alexis Style, so it’s obviously become a tool of the patriarchy, dammit.

Perhaps because you're old. The actor who played Rick from the Young ones died in 2012

You mean Rik Mayall, comedy legend, who died in 2014.

Is being old bad? Or is being old the same as being a fascist?

OMG I wasn’t even born when it aired 🤣 Wouldn’t it be awful if we were no longer expected to know about the great thinkers, writers and artists of history - as well as a whole load of other things - because they were SO OLD OMG LIKE REALLY OLD, LIKE THEY DIED SOOOO LONG AGO, LIKE OMG BEFORE 2012, THAT’S LIKE, ANCIENT?

Good to know you’re keeping on keeping on being REALLY KIND to everyone, though, and not at all, trying to be ageist and insulting 😂 Like, OMG it’s like literal violence, you know? I do not know how I’m going to cope, but I think I can probably find an anime-themed safe space somewhere just in case I literally like, die?

Finally a thread on this forum that isn’t just about hatred and blame. Thank you op

Ah the irony. "Antifascist"' is all about the hatred and the blame. Every single post and thread.

Tell me you haven’t read the thread without telling me you haven’t read the thread, as the Youth say these days

@stayathomer

Do you criticise people on other sites when they say “kill the te*fs” and “die in a grease fire”, or do you only police female morality?

😝Guilty, sorry just saw it, new puppy came hurtling towards me so I just commented without rtft. Just read, don’t agree with most but still happy it was what it was! (Have to get back to puppy and kids now!)
