Hundreds at Hyde Park for Let Women Speak!

[BoreOfWhabylon]

TRAs seem to be keeping away since organisers gained assurances from police that the women would, at last, be protected.
Lots of gay men also attending in support

As I thought. The most uncharitable interpretation possible.

Utterly pathetic.

That definitely seems like an ill-considered Easter comment.

Comments are chocolate and ovaries.

I reckon that tweet is a rather clever, extremely defiant, three way pun, rather than an invitation for male violence.

I don't even think it's ill considered. It's EASTER WEEKEND ffs.

The thing is, in German, the slang for testicles is eggs - eier - so maybe Posie is signalling for only men to come. 🤔

I know, I know…

As Posie wasn’t in attendance at the event this thread documents & discusses, perhaps we could direct all of today’s KJK’s chat over to this thread? Reserve this thread’s spotlight for Venice and Julia and all the speakers on the day?

Some of the egg gifs are truly horrifying.

Fair point.

If I had been shot at a previous event and was planning a new event near a gym I would Tweet 'bring your guns'

It would be obvious I meant 💪🏼

She wasn’t hit with an egg

She didn’t say bring your soup or fists

I thought I saw an egg hit the back of her head in one of the clips as she is being walked out of the park in Auckland. Just before she also had a clear substance sprayed over her.

I hope that the TRAs will be back home with their parents, doing an egg hunt next Sunday. Or maybe there should be a terfy dinosaur egg hunt in Hyde Park to keep them TRAs occupied.

I'm actually embarrassed for you.

Thank you Crypto.

I am just listening to the speakers. They are wonderful. A couple I have heard before, but what a fantastic event.

And Baroness Fox was very good in articulating her position.

I know I'll get accused of deploying gifs and therefore not taking people's brand new and fascinating points sufficiently seriously, but I do think that at this point the only sensible response is cliche

sing it Elsa

So it's okay to joke about violence against women and if you don't get the jokes that's embarrassing.

I thought this was a feminism forum but clearly I am very lost.

Please take the KJK chat to today’s KJK thread.

I am loving the 'vagina anthem' performance, it reminds me of all the accusations about Kellie Jay attending the Mot Dag conference from people who read a very bad faith take from some random media outlet and never thought to check out the performance from these two women.

What a great spontaneous performance.

I’d love for the stream to be clipped into short segments to make them easier to share.

So much good stuff but sending a normie a 2 hour stream isn’t going to entice them to listen!

That's a good point, somebody should definitely do that. We could mabe ask SFW?

The Gender A Wider Lens podcast has recently taken on a new team of two for behind the scenes work (both parents of ROGD kids, IIRC). They’ve started making shorter clips with thumbnail images designed to attract the algorithm and give a recognisable look to the channel.

A lot of the LWS footage has been difficult to hear over the crowd but if the police are going to step up and make it possible for women to be heard then it would be really great if LWS could find someone who can do something similar with existing footage.

The SkirtGoSpinny documentary from the LWS NYC event is truly excellent, and while it might not be possible to find someone quite as talented that filmmaker, it would be good to at least extract the best bits from all the live streams so far and make some digestible, shareable chunks.

I thought it meant bring your overies you know the things us old fashioned women have.
