OmiOmy I was saying that I've been trying to talk with my friends and family dotted around the States (that's where I grew up) about these issues. Pretty much a Dem voters, various stages of capture of gender ideology. Roe Vs Wade, prisons, sports, single sex facilities are what are slowly peaking them, but in the States, the loudest, funded voices about women's rights and the harms that gender ideology/medicalisation cause to children are from Christian evangelical groups who have anti-lgb, anti-abortion agendas etc. Liberals run a mile from these groups and it is very difficult for me/ us as non-US dwellers to truly understand their power and reach.
Add into that the militias, Proud Boys, Trumpian 'stolen election' brigade, incels and god knows what else shaping the political climate over there.
If these events had been on mainstream media (not left, there isn't any) and they saw women's rights/reps of Terf Island platforming men involved in the 6 Jan insurrection, Trump supporters etc, they would run a mile from the whole issue on a campaigning or public level.
So that's why I'm glad that the MSM in the States hasn't picked this up. They wouldn't hold anyone to account on guilt by association', it's more from understanding how well-funded, how powerful, how anti-women and how prepared to play the long game these religious right groups are.
And there is no resemblance between the UK political climate in 2018 when Maria Mc was assaulted and more and more people began to engage/peak and what's happening in the US now. None. Maria's assailants were anarchists-in-name misogynists, not linked to powerful, anti-women political groups and networks. What is going on in the States is completely different.
