"When I talk to my MP, to my DC's school, to TRA-sympathetic friends, the popular view that we're all right wing bigots isn't helping."
If you cannot present your own case to your school addressing specific issues with rationality, research and evidence, legal guidance as supplied by different women's groups on this issue, that is your own issue, I am afraid.
Your MP? Well, welcome to the club! Mine is a Lib Dem and even BEFORE KJK was gaining attention would not listen to anything I had to say. Dismissed it all! So, you work with one of the women's networks if you need to. Or you do what we all do. And just keep on writing. It is a thankless task. And it is NOT KJK's fault. If you have been sold that lie, then again, that is your own issue to deal with.
And seriously, you are blaming KJK for your TRA sympathetic friends not listening to you?
"Women who lobby politicians say this isn't helping."
I am lobbying politicians. And do you know what DOES help? Other women also lobbying the SAME politicians individually and uniquely. And do you know who encourages women to do exactly that? KJK when she does her videos and her rallies. Seriously, if you cannot find something positive to take out of her efforts you are deep in your own prejudices here.
"The TRAs have been saying for years that GC feminists are being paid by the far right. I used to be able to say that was bollocks. I can't now, with KJK putting flyers out with CPAC logos on them, FFS."
Have you seen the speakers at the Australian CPAC conference? Gosh, one was a past senior member of the Australian Labor Party! Did you know that? Or are you again just repeating the crap you are reading with no further curiosity.
Do you understand yet? Have you personally, ever gone and researched any of it?
And just because the extreme TRAs are saying it, doesn't make it true! Have you considered the gains that we have made in the past 2 years? Think about way the extreme TRAs were saying back then that have been shown to be false.
You contributing to misrepresentation doesn't help.
Did you even bother to read what I posted on Pal Steigan TWICE on this thread last night? YOU repeated a lie! and you have not acknowledged it.
How is KJK talking to white supremacists going to help us win them over? It's counterproductive.
What white supremacists? Honestly, List them. Let's see if people who are not deeply entrenched in being seen as 'left' think they are 'white supremacists' or if they have also been tarred like so many others for something that has not been proved or shown to stand up to scrutiny. I don't deny there are white supremacists out there. But are we talking about the same people?
But she doesn't care, as that's not her aim.
Says you who has posted very patronisingly, and clearly are derisive towards her. In fact, saying she was like Hopkins, I call that hostile.
