Gah! Hopefully MNHQ will approve the link

I don't agree with him on everything but he has been consistently supportive of her and of gender critical women in general so good for him

Oh thank you bore! I thought they automatically hid archive links.

Does anyone know what the comments were like?

They do until MNHQ check them out

No. I only read it on the archive link and sadly they haven't posted on Twitter. I think it's owned by Murdoch.

Good article but dropkicks means punts which means cunts. It’s away that men can use the word dropkick to mean cunts

How can women listen to such vulgarity towards women by a man and not be repulsed? Who are the women who think this is ok?

Really?! This puts a new spin on the Green politician in Australia that called TERFS 'trans exclusionary rightwing dropkicks'/TERDs. It was bad enough that he used a term to equate women to excrement - if the dropkick thing is also a gendered insult that makes it even worse.

And thanks, good article.

'Those hard-right rabblerousers infamously called feminists “feminazis”. Now the woke left calls them “Nazi-adjacent”. In both cases the low aim is to shame women into silence, to drive these uppity broads off the streets and back into the kitchen, presumably.'

KJK is a brave warrior woman and what has happened today in NZ has been facilitated by lying MSM and politicians slandering her. NZ is worse than the USA.

Drop kick does not mean cunt. It is a very low level derogatory term, on the level of twit.

It appears that sometimes it does, as rhyming slang. There's a definition of it in Urban Dictionary from 2005.

That’d be nearly twenty years ago. Rhyming slang is about as widely understood here as Chaucer. The pollie was comfortable calling women turds/ shit but calling us cunts would take him over the line.

To not derail the thread, it’s so upsetting and confusing to see this being couched as a right wing vs left wing issue. The right wing -who really don’t care about women’s rights - are the ones speaking out in support?
