WOMEN SPEAKING - Let Women Speak - Australia & NZ tour

Despite many pleas, the original thread was hijacked by people (mostly from the UK) who displayed ZERO interest in watching, appreciating and discussing the ACTUAL SPEECHES:

Let Women SPeak - Australia & NZ tour

IMHO This was profoundly disrespectful to the OP, @ZombieMumEB, who said she hoped to attend some of the events, to Mumsnetters (particularly Australians and New Zealanders) who wanted to discuss the speeches and to the brave, articulate and impassioned women who gave the speeches.

This thread is to discuss the WOMEN SPEAKING.

Please direct complaints about KJK to one of the perennial "We hate Posie" threads.

If you are a UK socfem with a genuine interest in discussing the socfem approach to re-educating the Labour Party, ie. rather than complaining about KJK, start a new thread. This one is about and for the women in Australia and New Zealand who spoke at the #LetWomenSpeak events

Rather than engage with derailments, can we please agree to report them or ignore them?

NZ Free Speech Union - 23 March
Justice Gendall has rejected the application to overrule the decision by Immigration New Zealand to allow entry for @/ThePosieParker into the country.
This is the only right result for a nation that values tolerance, the ability to debate, and free speech.

Free speech is not an easy principle to uphold, but it is worth protecting. Without it democracy dies.

I’ll try

I usually ignore their posts to be fair 🤔

Hepwo · 25/03/2023 09:15

Many of us know her in real life.

You are starting to sound quite dangerous.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/03/2023 09:19

The only way to deal with deliberate derailing is not to engage.

RufustheSpeculatingreindeer · 25/03/2023 09:20

Sorry helle!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/03/2023 09:21

Keep the focus on this thread on the women who would have spoken.

Yes.

Whaeanui · 25/03/2023 09:22

I managed to post here Ani O’Briens intended speech, wondering if any other speakers might of posted theirs online? I don’t have social media accounts but searching twitter for them.

LeotardsandDaisies · 25/03/2023 09:24

Just watched the whole 30 mins and i'm shaking...

HermioneWeasley · 25/03/2023 09:36

The footage of KJK being attacked was the first thing I saw when I opened Twitter this morning and I honestly thought I was seeing her being murdered.

Superb post.

But simply not true.

What HoO lies? Do I have to pull out the screenshots of their livestream to prove they were there? Or their content to prove they're far right? Or images of the event to prove they were front row?

All this deflection is nonsense. Most political campaigns have no issue with telling the far right to fuck off, in no uncertain terms. Why does KJK only do it when forced to, as she needed to get let into NZ? What is her problem with telling the far right to do one? I'm sorry if you can't see how dangerous that is, but stop blaming the messenger, it's KJK who's making them feel welcome.

And FWIW, I've got fuck all to do with AGCL.

A perfect example of a pathetic attempt to smear KJK. Today of all days. Thanks for demonstrating.

Eh? Many women have been campaigning in this arena for several years. At one point there weren't nearly as many involved and most very active women knew each other - either from actively campaigning together or simply being in the same place at the same time.

No one wishes her harm, FFS. Many who know her wish she wasn't such a toxic self publicist who's putting her followers at risk.

HTH.

Whaeanui · 25/03/2023 09:48

So you’ve been asked continually to stop derailing this thread about the women speaking but you’re doing to continue posting the same thing over and over @gwrachod

There’s an element of you made us do it in your posts

There was incitement to violence and actual violence at the event, who were the men doing that and why?

Are you ok with their actions?

Whaeanui · 25/03/2023 09:49

Any other speeches that would have been appearing online? It would be nice to collate them. Also those from Australia, have they all been added?

I didn't comment on this thread while it was about the women speaking. Since then it's moved on.

If people lie or throw dangerous insinuations at me, I'm going to reply, yes.

Your complete and utter hatred of women is noted!

Calling out the far right is hatred of women, now?

I think you are confused.

Whaeanui · 25/03/2023 09:56

can other posters stop responding to the derailer? There’s another thread for this. I would love to see or hear any of the other speakers if they are also posting what they wanted to say online.

DameMaud · 25/03/2023 09:58

This would of been what Ani O’Brien said at the event:

https://mobile.twitter.com/aniobrien/status/1639486246375542785

I've just come on to thread again after yesterday- feeling so hopeful of what would be here.

I'm reeling- and just can't find the right words to capture how all this feels. It's overwhelming.

Thanks for putting this up Whaeanui.
It's so sad knowing the chance for her to say this was lost, but also grounding in some way, to read it.

I think you are confused.

What did the events in NZ have to do with the far right?

Those were trans rights activists and their allies some of whom were getting off on the fact that women are being attacked for trying to speak.

The only people making a link between KJK and the far right are the likes of you. People like you are responsible for the baying mob not KJK who has denounced the far right, we all know that, you know that, but you continue to lie.

The fact that you keep coming on these threads to spread your lies is absolutely abhorrent.

It was worth it, because I wouldn’t have known quite how urgent things are in NZ if she hadn’t braved it.

I’m so glad she is safely returning to her family- I hope she gets support to help her process that trauma. If you think you are about to die, it affects you deeply.

Whaeanui · 25/03/2023 10:08

Thanks for posting that @Walkingtheplank there are women here in the uk I won’t be supporting again. Sorry but you endangered my friends and whanau with your lies.

Boiledbeetle · 25/03/2023 10:12

A long campaign to assassinate my character, started by a group of jealous spiteful women in the UK, that I had ambitions besides stopping the mutilation of children and the erasure of women’s rights.
