Just saw a tweet where she calls PP a 'poundshop marine le Pen'
WTF! why are women who are supposedly in this fight together actively trying to sabotage another woman's activism?
Can we not move away from this schoolyard shit?

Lol at the people who support the side of men who threaten women with rape, say they should die in grease fires, actively celebrated the death of a young woman with brain cancer & have wished death on PP children having a go at us about who we associate with

It's not the left who have said gender critical woman are fascists. It's some very loud extremists who are drowning out the voices of those who are moderate and getting themselves into positions where they can drive policy (e.g. trade unions).

I don't for a minute believe that the majority of Labour supporters have views vastly different from mine.

In the meantime, whilst they are still controlled by TRAs, the moderate fight that woman are having is being taken over by far right extremist men.

You’re probably correct when you say majority of Labour supporters. And it’s mostly extremists on the Left. But when I say Left I also include those who work for the Labour Party or even elected MPs who paint request for those things you listed as “right wing”. So my use of Left, capitalised, refers to those in positions of power.

@NotBadConsidering as you know I am not a TRA. I am feminist who has been active for decades. We were fighting for women only spaces decades ago. It is a constant fight.

How can anyone know who anyone is on an anonymous Internet forum?

No one has attacked Discovereads, we simply pointed out that Discovereads is incapable of posting evidence that backs up Discovereads version of events.

Wearing a balaclava isn’t blackface.

HTH.

I figured I’d get a bit of 🔥🔥🔥
I’m not trying to cancel or deplatform PP, I just think people should be made aware of the kind of person PP is and her values. So they can be informed about who they wish to follow or not. I’ve chosen not to follow her.

Everything I said, it’s easy to corroborate by a bit of online research or watching her videos (especially the 80min one she did with the white supremacist) and it coming out of her own mouth or reported by former associates that she has shocked and let down.

Shes is also pro-gun and was accused of inciting violence in one of her videos (I did look it up and watch it, she said it). She called for cis-men in the US with guns to go into womens toilets to protect women/girls from transwomen trying to enter. Sorry but I think a bloke with a loaded gun who is willing to use it lurking in the womens toilet with licence to shoot anyone he thinks doesn’t look girly enough is a bit more of a danger than a transwoman?

I think abuse of anyone is wrong, but as for doxxing, her address is publicly available online took me two minutes to find it (won’t say what it is, or where to find it but her very expensively kitted out studio is within a £891k detached 5 bedroom, 3 bath house…not really working class…although she “identifies” as such and got quite a bit of mileage complaining about Waitrose delivery drivers)

In addition, she has a habit of forming Ltd companies for you know selling her tat online and then not filing accounts saying where the money went or tax returns and then being compulsorily struck off by Companies House. So she creates a new company… and repeat. Rake in money from followers and file no accounts or taxes….Look up Woman by Definition Ltd. Dissolved a year ago by compulsory strike off with no accounts or tax return ever filed.

I am someone who doesn't exist. I like PP a lot but think she is far from perfect!

One concern I have always had (not a big one) is the lack of transparency over the t-shirt sales and stuff. I have no evidence she has done anything wrong, but, IMHO, good practice would be to say where the money goes... how much of the profit goes on campaigning? How much on things like costs she incurs when campaigning (eg lunch)? How much does she spend on handbags (quite possibly none)?

But the main reason I am posting is to ask you why you are posting? It seems to me that the most likely reason tis because you hope to convince people you are right. If you do, then perhaps you would care to listen to some advice?

I have watched a fair few of her videos and your representation of her does not in any way chime with my experience. This does not mean I think you're lying, but it does mean that I am not willing to spend the time looking for research I have not the slightest reason to believe exists.

If you want me to condemn KJK for these things then I need links to very specific things, because what you say seems to be completely wrong.

You have no obligation to provide evidence, but there is at least one mind you will not change without it, and I don't believe I am the only one.

this

and again I’m not calling anyone a liar, if they say they saw something they did

but quite often on threads particular posters will say ‘poster A said this…’ and I’m like ‘oh my god what a dreadful thing to say, I don’t remember that’ and I’ll go and have a look and EVENTUALLY i find that no one said anything like that

so ive stopped…i need an actual link

Er, yes it does. I stated she harassed BLM protesters. And she did.

You do realise that plenty of black people think BLM is dangerous and harmful do;t you? Are they racist as well, or just stupid?

Or is it maybe that issues are complicated, BLM are not perfect, and even if they were perfect on issues of race then criticising them for other matter doesn;t mean you disagree with them on race?

@ToGanymedeAndTitan I find it ironic on a post criticising Sarah Ditum for being critical of KJK and "mean", there are lots of women really attacking anyone who says anything negative about KJK. Some of the comments are very mean.
And anyone being critical is assumed to be a TRA or a man. When many of us are feminists who are gender abolitionists.

So true.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 25/09/2022 09:54

So it turns out the far right takeover was a couple of randoms filming on their phones. No links to Posie Parker but links to prominent TRA Cursed E. I'm SURE there'll be apologies soon... probably about the same time the likes of toxic hypocrite Owen Jones condemns the constant TRA violence and racism.

I for one am glad PP is out campaigning. Labour Women's Declaration and WPUK are all but useless, kidding themselves or us Labour policy is changing when Labour has doubled down as well as platforming transactivists and smearing women who object. We need proper, woman-focused political campaigning that asserts our status as the equals we are, not weak libfem appeasement.

It’s not odd to question the character of those who wish to be leaders of we feminists. Especially a so called leader that has widely stated she is happy to sacrifice our abortion rights on the altar of her anti-trans cause. Frankly, if it came down to one or the other, I’d rather have the abortion rights being the mum of two young women. I don’t want the U.K. to go the way of say Texas.

And of course, it’s not odd to question the necessity, wisdom and morality of collaborating with racist white supremacists and the far right either….better feminists than I have questioned this too and stated why they’re not part of stand up for women any more. And sorry, but I draw a line there too.

And her behaviours haven’t covered her in glory either. That’s before we even get to her questionable business practices. It’s a big deal to have your business (with you as sole director and employee) compulsorily struck off and forced to dissolve by the Companies House.

That is you dishonesty 100% nailed to the mast and I will never listen to a word you say.

PP repeatedly says she is not a feminist, so how can you say she wishes to lead feminists?

This ^
it’s perfectly possible to both believe that black lives very much matter whilst also believing that BLM the organisation is rather bloody dodgy.

The lie has not been debunked, All that happens is everyone says they can't see the racism.
When the photo was posted though MN took it down as it broke guidelines. They saw the racism.

I think we can all safely agree that whether something is allowed to be posted on mainstream social media without getting deeted says absolutely nothing about whether it is good or horrific or somewhere in the middle.

The one he was weaing was a black "second skin" body suit with only the mouth cut out which accentuated his lips.

To speak. He was speaking. Nothing to do with "accentuating his lips" or similar rubbish.

Helleofabore · 25/09/2022 10:14

character of those who wish to be leaders of we feminists

Kellie Jay Keen has said for years she is not a feminist.

She is not advocating to be a ‘leader’ of feminists. From what I have seen and listening to her live, she is not particularly positioning herself as a ‘leader’. She is doing her own thing, she invites other women to join in.

What is clear is that you seem to have some pretty deeply held prejudices about her, including some wrong interpretations and easily disproved facts.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/09/2022 10:16

Where did you see this? I saw some tweets which indicated that the documentary film crew following KJK had been confused with the right wing group by people who weren't actually there.

Datun · 25/09/2022 10:23

The Mr menno being racist thing is just such a dud, I can't believe people are still trying it on. He was wearing a fucking nappy for God sake. Who, seriously, who on earth would go to a feminist rally wearing black face and a nappy? It's just desperate, risible nonsense.

i'm not surprised Posie Parker is getting criticised. Apparently 1000 people registered for her talk. There's no-one else out there who is doing this. Her popularity just increases.

Her entire raison d'être is to stop children being mutilated by a men's rights ideology. And she shows it up for what it is.

The posters feverishly trying to pick microscopic holes in her campaigning in order to discredit her are beneath contempt.

it's telling, too, that people challenging the blatant prejudice towards her are met with oh my God, you worship her!

When normal fairness is regarded as 'worship', you just know it's personal.
