I am so excited that this is coming to Australia - I will hopefully be attending.

Anyone else?

MrsMidClegs · 11/02/2023 12:08

Is says March.

MrsMidClegs · 11/02/2023 12:08

It!

Redshoeblueshoe · 11/02/2023 12:43

I went to Manchester, it was brilliant. Despite the black pampers it was not scary. Have a brilliant time, and report back.

MrsMidClegs · 12/02/2023 13:03

I'd be there in a flash if I could.
Incredibly heart-warming to see the huge Scottish crowds at the latest speakers event.
I hope the Australian ones have a good turnout. Don't be disheartened if they are small though.. the first SFW event I went to just had 40 of us.

Awesome! Will be going to the Melbourne one. I look forward to meeting some fellow like minded Aussies there!

DrJump · 23/02/2023 21:17

I'll be at the Canberra one. Not sure if I should sort out childcare for the kids or not.

Redshoeblueshoe · 23/02/2023 21:45

I expect by the time KJK gets to Canberra you will already know what reaction there will be.

zaramysaviour · 24/02/2023 01:42

Anyone in Melbourne who wants to meet up for the event, drop me a PM :).

Happy to meet for coffee and rants at any time too!

Codlingmoths · 24/02/2023 02:23

Oooh I’d go to the melb one but it’s a milestone birthday for me and so fully booked

ZombieMumEB · 09/03/2023 05:39

Bumping this thread up for all the Aussies to see the dates.

I’m going to the Adelaide one if I get my leave signed off 💚🤍💜

Toseland · 11/03/2023 00:03

Is this tonight at 1am?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 11/03/2023 00:07

I guess it probably will be, in U.K. time.

2013isback · 11/03/2023 01:11

LIVESTREAM now, if anyone wants:

EpicChaos · 11/03/2023 01:16

Cheers @2013isback was just looking to see if she'd gone live.

Adelaide tomorrow!!

Brisbane looked like it went off ok - no protesters, but from the comments there was some personal abuse from the BeKind people to some women as they left.

MishyJDI · 15/03/2023 12:05

Doesn't look very successful. About 20 people turning up to each event, and many One Nation supporters, that are not exactly known for their feminism. Most Aussies are not interested in the sort of anti-feminism masking itself as protecting rights and having attendees quote Mein Kampf as happened in the UK. KJK really is an own goal. Glad it is going well!

Codlingmoths · 15/03/2023 20:39

@MishyJDI 150 in Brisbane according to the courier mail (attendance, I have no idea re protestors) - that seems reasonable given most of aust has never heard of her. But reading your posts is always instructive on the ‘make up facts you like and people might believe it’ approach .

”About 20 people turning up to each event”

You clearly cannot count. Anyone seeing the feeds will know immediately you are lying.

”many One Nation supporters”

And again, anyone watching will know that you refer to the one or two people who were at Perth and standing in front of the parliament between the women and the protestors. Were they even attending listening the women?

And so what if two One Nation supporters listened to the women to hear directly from them and not simply taking piss poor biased takes that have been on many media and social media. Like your own lies.

”Most Aussies are not interested in the sort of anti-feminism masking itself as protecting rights and having attendees quote Mein Kampf as happened in the UK. KJK really is an own goal. Glad it is going well!”

Again? You are telling Australians what they think again, Mishy? Tell us clearly now, are you an Australian? yes? no? Or did you merely spend some time there and think you understand Australians more than, you know, Australians?

I don’t know one Australian that is not concerned about these issues once they understand what has happened. No. I lie. I know an American who lives in Sydney who posts ideological supportive things on their Facebook. I know them well enough though that if I took them through the medicalisation issues they would be very concerned.

But please, keep on posting how well you know what Australian women think.

Oh, and you keep falling into the same trap as other extremists. The women who read from Mein Kampf did so to highlight a comparison with gender identity ideology. happy to post the link, maybe you’d like to address her points and why she is wrong rather than misrepresenting her intention.

And by the way, remember that Kellie Jay had let women speak, even when she doesn’t agree with them. Thanks for pointing it out! You are spot on! Having a platform that allows any woman to speak their thoughts means letting women speak who you don’t agree with!

Remarkable commitment to free speech isn’t it?

So, is it going well? Bloody oath it is!

Have you heard the diverse range of women speaking? And speaking confidently and with great insight on a range of topics?

And without being bothered by protestors thanks to the Police. And in Perth everyone noticed the protestors went home early!

So yes. It is going well. How bizarre that someone who believes they know so much about both these events and Australians would not see that. Considering all events so far has had more attendees than most of the events I have attended at speaker’s corner in a huge city… yeah. I think we can safely discount your post.

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/03/2023 22:35

Bloody well said @Helleofabore !

Thanks @MishyJDI , if I was dithering (BeKind lot bother me) I’m not now 😂
