'Hate for trans people' = not wanting to get changed in front of random males.

The unthinking misogyny of these men is such an indictment on them.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 08/12/2022 08:25

Terrible human beings (or even just silly ones) can still produce great art

he knows naff all about women’s rights, and probably doesn’t care

but that’s not what Portishead or Massive Attack’s music is about. I’ll still be listening to unfinished sympathy

'hate for transwomen' = women saying no, thank you.

‘Man stands up for other men against women’ shock. Every story I read like this gives me more affection for the men who stop to think and then say No to the misogynists.

Reported her for what, exactly? Some men are so quick to display their hate for women it seems they don’t even bother reading before assuming offence.

Have you looked at the link that started this?

BBC 100 Women ask for specific words coined recently and used to describe abuses against women.

The comments, unsurprisingly, are filled with TERF, cis, transphobic, ‘inclusive’ language, etc. I wonder how the BBC is going to deal with that - they invited the comments.

So many knee-jerk responses just don't consider the issue do they?

Transphobes! Transphobes everywhere!

Oh my god

the replies to that BBC tweet are A.MA.ZING

heaven knows what ‘our BBC’ will do with that. Ignore it I expect. The plebs getting it wrong again

Do all the songwriters for Portishead and Massive Attack agree that “the messages in the music” include “women aren’t allowed same sex spaces?”

Or is he just another man speaking over the top of women? he can get to fuck.

He's got history of being hateful towards women.

BravelyStunning · 08/12/2022 20:52

wasn't he ironically nicknamed "giggles" back in the day? guess he's always been a miserable c*nt.

BravelyStunning · 08/12/2022 20:55

and i'm glad haim called him out, @wijjjy- how brave of him to mock young women online (and go to pieces when they call him out in person!)

wijjjy · 08/12/2022 22:37

@BravelyStunning Seems to particularly enjoy having a go at women.

I quite enjoy Beak, but the man is an ocean going, gold plated, well past his best by date, knob.

namitynamechange · 08/12/2022 22:45

So..... Amy winehouse was bad because her voice was fake and she had "turned herself into a caricature" but every single Transwoman is 100% woman and 100% authentic. Hmmmmmmm

DameMaud · 08/12/2022 23:28

I hope Katherine reads this thread!
