Standing for women - Portland rally cancelled over violent threats

Not quite sure what's happened - seems there were credible threats to women's lives over these protests.

twitter.com/StandingforXX

Now it seems a few women went ahead and met up and were attacked. (Nobody seriously hurt as far as I can tell)

Hoping everyone is safe and well.

I don't get the obsession with Posie, I never have. She's a brilliant marketeer, and she's ballsy. Her USP is that she doesn't waiver from the point. Interviewers can't side track her, or set up to fail, because she just keeps going back to the point. Transwomen are men, and we need to stop mutilating children.

But she really provokes people. I can understand her provoking transactivists, because she's very effective. But she provokes other women, too. And that's what I don't get.

Someone suggested it was jealousy, but surely, a lot of these women are far too intelligent to let that show, at least to this extent.

So I don't get it. I do think it's bloody out of order though.

What she does works.. So I will keep pointing out the flaws in the arguments to shut her down.

Datun · 01/11/2022 23:47

I watch the ones flagged up as problematic as due diligence.

someone flags Posie Parker's videos to you as problematic?

Discovereads · 01/11/2022 23:48

@Datun
“demanding “evidence” that you’re not interested in actually reading it’s just a shut up tactic to discredit”

I think you're confusing me with someone else. I don't generally read the links you post, and I couldn't care less about your 'evidence'.

I think Im spot on actually. I said you’re not interested in actually reading the evidence, and you’ve just admitted you don’t read it. The example “responses” were the usual ones you say where it is obvious you haven’t looked at the evidence and are just posting the usual tactic of deny & reverse accusations, demand evidence, don’t read evidence & respond with strawman, whataboutery or a random aspersion on character or intelligence.

I think she provokes other women because they know they don’t have the guts to do what she does, and the fact she is effective and articulate upsets then because they know they could not do that. They know they can’t do it, so to preserve their own self esteem, they try to drag her down. If she can do it, it shows up the excuses for them not doing it as being just that, weak excuses.

oh yeah, you are spot-on. I don't read your evidence.

Hellofabore does though.

It is quite something to see datun. But yes, this is my aim too.

Pointing out the flaws in the arguments, the accusations, the glaring hypocrisies and inconsistencies. And the fallacies, the misrepresentations and the fuckwittery.

No. Flagged up by the news publications I read regularly.

Maybe. But why even bother with her, in that case?

There are loads of women doing absolutely brilliant things that I don't give any headspace to. I'm just glad they're getting on with it, including Posie Parker.

Maybe the anonymous accounts on here are people in real life who feel they are in competition with her. They certainly come across as personal. Who knows.

Well you know that spit will be spit…and so pepper spraying a girl for seeming to be about to spit on you is a disproportionate reaction. It’s not self defence by any measure.

And again, which girl are you talking about?

The MALE who spat, had the sign used to deflect the spit who then looked to become physical? That girl?

The female who sprayed silly string? Who got sprayed as the silly string was sprayed, because who the fuck knows what is going to come out of the can? That female?

Or are we back to making accusations about a 14 year old person who there seems to be no evidence at all that was sprayed by whom?

@Asdavaluesausage ·
I think @Datun its you @Discovereads has a crush on not KJK. I mean how else would they know how many threads you’re on? Seems slightly obsessed bordering on unhinged. If I was guessing, I’d say an MRA with a hateboner for intelligent, articulate women. Hates them cos they ain’t them.

Dont be ridiculous. I only looked up how many current KJK threads Datun was on compared to me to counter her outlandish argument that I’m obsessed with KJK. And lo and behold, what I found was very informative that there is no way I’m obsessed compared to Datun.

I am an intelligent and articulate woman, which is why you have a hate boner for me pointing out that Datun has been flinging around silly accusations that don’t have a shred of truth to them.

Asdavaluesausage · 02/11/2022 00:05

I am an intelligent and articulate woman,

@Discovereads are you using TRA definitions of words here? I haven’t seen any signs of either intelligence or articulate arguments from you, but I have seen you making bizarre and outlandish arguments and generally coming across as a little discombobulated by KJK and Datun as well as the other posters on this thread who don’t believe your ideology.

Datun · 02/11/2022 00:07

Tell me, what is my ideology? You haven’t a clue.

Asdavaluesausage · 02/11/2022 00:09

I can honestly say in my many years on mumsnet, and I remember penisbeaker, cancel the cheques, Mexican houre thief, I have never looked to see how many threads a poster is on. That’s just bizarre behaviour.

Helleofabore · 02/11/2022 00:10

Datun has been flinging around silly accusations that don’t have a shred of truth to them.

I think I can safely say that it isn’t Datun throwing around silly accusations that don’t have a shred of truth to them. Unless Datun has had a very dramatic change in posting style lately… have you Datun?

I think it was that word obsession. Seems to struck a nerve.

In fairness to discovereads, they're not the only one. Posey has this effect on certain people.

LoL, there’s that automatic, deny and reverse with random accusation tactic again. You are so good at it.

She was no “MALE”. Jeanna Hoch (the woman holding the sign) herself said this girl was seeming to be about to spit on her and confirmed she was female. But apparently a bit of girl spit is enough reason to slam a sign in her face while shoving her backwards, and then duck down and pepper spray as many people as you can in that general direction.

But yeah, you go on excusing violence to women and girls, go right ahead.

Yes. Journalists attend these protests, then watch video footage for anything they missed and then write & publish news articles.

I know it’s hard to believe given that you think the only way to know what is going on in the world is to follow people on Twitter.

You said her YouTube videos. That news publications tell you which ones are problematic and you need to do due diligence.

That's not footage of the protests?

What due diligence are they talking about? How do you do that on her YouTube videos?

Yes, it’s true of both things.

Datun · 02/11/2022 01:23

I don't get it. What publications watch all her videos and where do they publish their opinion of what is problematic?

And what sort of due diligence do you do on that?

Discovereads · 02/11/2022 01:43

What publications watch all her videos and where do they publish their opinion of what is problematic? As far as I know, no publication watches all of anyones videos. New outlets publish articles on their daily news feeds. Fairly often a video on SM will be a subject in several news feeds, eg. there are currently articles about YouTube videos with racist abuse of Ncuti Gatwa, the new Dr Who actor. One memorable news item about a prolific YouTuber was Logan Paul and his offensive YouTube video of Japan's Aokigahara forest. Another was the man who trained his dog to do Nazi salutes to videos of Hitler speaking. Finally, a really bad one was the Guy Fawkes bonfire that featured a model of Grenfell with little figurines of ethnic minorities reaching out the windows and as they burned it, the racists made jokes like “help I’m burning” in foreign accents and laughing.

And what sort of due diligence do you do on that? The usual. Investigation and verification.

You are neither intelligent or articulate, based on the evidence of your posts. Just a regular TRA. And I've never heard a woman refer to a woman as having a "hate boner" before. Women don't get boners, hate ones or otherwise.
