Everybody else blocked on Twitter by Women's March?

Saw a few people tweeting about this and went to check. Lo and behold, I am blocked despite never interacting with them or interacting with anyone who mentioned then. How pathetic. Won't change the world if you're so thin-skinned.

(If you're on Twitter the handle is @ womensmarch )

What is it? Is it a men’s rights thing?

TheBiologyStupid · 20/02/2023 22:33

I dare say they're using some sort of "TERF blocker", given this tweet: twitter.com/womensmarch/status/1625905519511711772

BoreOfWhabylon · 20/02/2023 22:36

Hmm. I appear to be blocked. I've never interacted with them on Twitter or anywhere else.

Some GREAT responses to this though!

AndTheSurveySays · 20/02/2023 22:40

I'm blocked. Pretty sure they did it last year when I took the piss out of the logo.

ChirpyChirpyCheepCheepBeep · 20/02/2023 22:43

Must be TERF blocker based on who you follow. Never tweet GC views but follow loads of GC accounts

Despite me liking loads of GC accounts, I seem to be missed by TERF-blockers. Even H from Steps hasn't sodding blocked me yet. 🙄

Yes I tweet things like cat videos. Clearly inimical to their gender equity goals 😅.

Yep, I’m blocked. Obvs not for women

PaterPower · 20/02/2023 22:53

none of you are missing anything worth reading.

KatMcBundleFace · 20/02/2023 22:55

Blocked. Never interacted with them. To be fair I don't want to, given the circumstances

SignOnTheWindow · 20/02/2023 23:02

Hope Women's March have plenty of space in the fridge for all the plates of zir arse currently coming eir way....

Birdsweepsin · 20/02/2023 23:02

Blocked! I feel so special now...

TheBiologyStupid · 20/02/2023 23:03

The Women's March™ hasn't exactly been controversy-free, what with the allegations of elitism, anti-Semitism, and bring overly controlling: archive.ph/fh72Q

That’s embarrassing Grin

Coyoacan · 21/02/2023 01:29

Yeah, I'm blocked.

It's like Amnesty International no longer giving a damn about political prisoners and Oxfam raping children in disaster zones, Women's March is blocking women.

EpicChaos · 21/02/2023 02:15

Also blocked. pffft! I wouldn't care but i haven't tweeted in months :-/

I even tagged him in a response to James Dreyfus the other week, advising him he missed me out, and he still didn't get the hint! 🤷‍♀️🙄

StalkedByASpider · 21/02/2023 05:27

Oh look. What a surprise......

And I've had zero interactions with them before. I'm definitely an out and proud GC on twitter though. Luckily I'm self employed so I don't need to give a shit about losing my job for my views.

If someone like this blocks me, I like to block them right back. It ensures that they can't take a sneaky look at any of my replies/tweets to manipulate them or quote out of context.

Just checked and yes, I am blocked. I'd never even heard of them.

I do have "feminist" in my bio though so perhaps they've used the same silly software that the prat from Steps used that filters words in people's accounts and auto blocks them?

They keep retweeting one of their own people who describes herself as a feminist though.

Most posts seem to cover abortion, though bizarrely there's one which criticises Trump policies on railroad safety. Not sure how that's relevant

PretzelKnot · 21/02/2023 06:17

I did call them dick-pandering misogynistic useful idiots a few months ago. I think I got a block for that. Sorry, not sorry.

Redebs · 21/02/2023 06:19

You're the wrong sort of woman, presumably; you haven't got a Y chromosome
🤣🤣🤣

SqueakyDinosaur · 21/02/2023 06:34

Yes, also blocked. I'm much more of a liker and follower than a tweeter, so it's probably on those grounds.
