WOMEN SPEAKING - Let Women Speak - Australia & NZ tour

[Bosky]

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.

ThePosieParker - 24 March
Free speech is not an easy principle to uphold, but it is worth protecting. Without it democracy dies.

IDK anything about NZ law, but he is inciting violence.

'Posie Parker said Hobart, Australia was the “worst” place she had ever been. She arrived in Auckland last night just and said we are “insane.” Auckland hasn’t done a thing yet. Hobart, I am sorry but I think we will one up you.'

[ArabellaScott]

Yeah, here he is.

I’m pretty sure he was the one bleeting to the media yesterday about how scared he was to go to the rally today.

Yeah, he looks terrified and so vulnerable.

[TrombonesAreNotBones]

Oh my god, terrifying. I am so sorry.

Violence against women who just want to speak, these thugs will not let women speak.

[littlbrowndog]

This New Zealand who has the highest domestic violence in the Oced

thisis that country

[Whaeanui]

The herald once again not reporting the truth

[Whaeanui]

They have two all blacks right now who have beat women recently, Jacinda shook their hands and celebrated with them.

this is New Zealand.

[ArabellaScott]

What I find amazing is how all the men on Twitter think it's a victory for their cause that they have terrorised, attacked, and abused women into silence.

[BreadInCaptivity]

WTF have I just watched?

Who exactly is the most vulnerable and oppressed in this debate?

It sure as hell it didn't look like the Trans lobby.

[Whaeanui]

I know. They’re celebrating this openly. Even the herald, a very right wing Media outlet. They’re including all the tweets celebrating this

Whaeanui

Are all the women you know who
were going safe?

[littlbrowndog]

That’s New Zealand for you. Domestic abuse centre of the world

[littlbrowndog]

Kelly is safe. She posted on Twitter

[ArabellaScott]

'She had food thrown poured on her, the stage was surrounded and rushed, her supporter got punched +her security couldn't keep the mob back so they left for safety reasons. Shane in the organisers for such a peaceful and safe protest! I'm glad i didn't go'

from a Twitter user who describes himself as 'queer', and who had been campaigning to have KJK barred from entering NZ.

This is not the victory they think it is.

[Helleofabore]

That was horrific. What has happened to the women? Have they got out ok? I mean aprt from
what we already know? This is a complete nightmare! Where were the police?

if the police were even there, how did they let any women into that area. Let alone that rotunda!!!

FFS that rotunda became a cage !

I hope everyone got out without further incident.

[UtopiaPlanitia]

I don’t understand why the NZ media narrative is so in favour of the violent mob who turned up to attack a group of ordinary women speaking about their lives. It very much seems as though the NZ narrative is “they brought it on themselves, they deserve it”. Lazy reporting? Institutional sexism? Looking for ratings?

[littlbrowndog]

Jeez them people. Just like witch hunts in the past


burn the witch

[EndlessTea]

This is scary to see how you can tell lies about someone, and a significant number of people will happily be violent towards them without needing evidence.

[RufustheSpeculatingreindeer]

@littlbrowndog

Jeez them people. Just like witch hunts in the past


burn the witch

They were just lacking pitchforks…though it wouldn’t surprise me if they had those as well

shameful, even if id gone along thinking it was going to be a peaceful protest against KJK id be too bloody embarrassed to say i was there!

Nope. And I predict that the little prick currently crowing about it will have to lock down his Twitter account in the next few hours.

I don't think they care. In their eyes it's a victory. So arrogant and deluded that they are righteous.

[EndlessTea]

It does feel like ‘burn the witch’ littlebrowndog. All that’s missing are the pitchforks.
