It seems that the irony of this far right wing org, who has so little engagement on SM, being amplified by those who are resolute in refusing to 'stand on platforms/next to platforms/locate themselves in the same postcode' with right wing agitators, has been lost for many still throwing out racist/fascist accusations to anyone who fails to 'say the words' required to maintain positions in this 'movement'.
HoO got so little engagement (clear from twitter, I haven't seen other platforms) before the event, they're not even credible as this 'mighty nefarious enemy' that left wing feminists are warning us all of. HJ's speech in twitter had 8 likes (and a few likes they got I'd say were from women who didn't have a clue who HoO were). The live streaming that caused so much consternation fell on its arse.
If you look through their twitter profile, they barely get any engagement at all. They're definitely trying to 'glom' onto the push against gender woo, but haven't bloody succeeded.
Honestly, for all the hand wringing, finger wagging, angst laden outbursts over this, the only people I've seen amplify far right wing orgs are those diametrically opposed to them. The knee jerk response to this by so many, who talk of being on the same side of a police line with fascists as a sure fire sign those women must also be fascists, or fascist light, or fascist adjacent - when no one knew who they were/where they were have been so disproportionate & absurd, it's made a mockery of women's activism. The very accusation JCJ lays at women who were at the SFW event/organised the event/stewarded the event.
I've seen not one person who has rained down on this event directly challenge the men they have issue with, the org, Sophie Corcoran or even the TRA who had 3 people arrested for various reasons inc having a bag of fucking knives.
The tactics of those who have challenged this event, the organisers, the women who attended & the higher profile women who spoke, are woeful. JCJ & others talking about this being about politics (as various flying monkeys throw out base insults) while showing how utterly dire they are at strategic planning & reactions to anything that they disagree with - it shows they haven't a fucking clue how to actually do politics. Because the very tactics they're employing are the very reasons feminism has been hijacked & bastardised to the extent it has. Feminist orgs, women's 3rd sector orgs, anything that has women's needs as their USP have all being rendered impotent as everything their aims were about has been rendered 'transphobic' with no one able to challenge or defend the needs of women unless they 'say the words' deemed acceptable to maintain their positions or be cast out.
I don't 'do politics' because I see right through the manipulation, the dishonesty, the self serving justification of shit choices for the 'greater good' and won't give that any legitimacy. I loathe dishonesty most & the dishonesty at play over this has been absolutely infuriating to witness. The very worst part is that, knowing how throwing out the fascist/racist/nazi insults to women, by TRA types, has damaged or limited women's freedoms & activism, it's those so-called left wing women throwing out those same labels knowing what that means for women, that I find the most distasteful.
CMK is so lost in her lunacy she thought screaming at a baby was a 'just cause'. Left wing feminists shitting all over the activism of women they don't want to align with, on the flimsiest of reasons, are sailing closer to CMK's sails every time this happens. And it happens every time SFW events have exposed the gender woo zealots as the hate filled, aggressive misogynistic bastards we all know they are.
The narrative that women are fascist bigots is being fed to the TRA by other women claiming to want to work to protect women's rights. Make that make sense cos it's just fucking insane to me.
