Fuck Oxfam

[DismantledKing]

Anyone seen the tweet by Maya tonight about this little animation by Oxfam? Here’s the link:

as I said, fuck Oxfam.

Please don't reply on Oxfam reading this thread. Write to them. Their email address isn't hard to find online.

Even if someone from Oxfam is reading, they are likely to be junior and won't be passing messages up the chain. Emails are more likely (not very likely, but more likely than a random post) to be forwarded to management or compiled into a report for proper consideration.

Yes, emails or letters to Oxfam are much more likely to be read than comments online as it's likely only more woke juniors are monitoring the comments there.

re. my comment about Julie Bindel article. It was in response to comments that made it sound like she had said something new and original. She hadn't.

All I was saying is to (over) compliment her seems a bit strange when many of this thread have already said it.

This is totally different to which papers publish articles like this. So no surprise the Mail and Times have done so.

And in response to someone up thread, I dont listen to the BBC all day, but from memory I dont think that on the 1pm & 6pm news slots on Radio 4 anything was said. I also watched newsnight for a report they were going to do, and dont think it was mentioned there either.

But they have just published this - an hour ago! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65831823

re. the revelations (no suprise) about the Stonewall personnel entryism into other companies.

Just like to revive the idea, never put into practice, that somebody (ie with the know how) starts constructing one of those family tree like charts which clearly shows links through personnel to organisations like Stonewall.

Because apart from anything else it would illustrate how those with a vested interest are abusing their paid positions to prommote their personal politics.

Can you imagine any one with GC politics being allowed by an employer to do that?!

If anyone but the sacred caste express distress, actual injuries as opposed to hurty feelz, rape, domestic violence, exclusion, loss of medical care, stuff like that?

they get told they're weaponising their trauma and shouldn't say such things, because it upsets the sacred caste.

I'm reaching the point where I'm all out of fucks.

And 'weaponising your trauma' so often means, when run through the universal bullshit translator 'you're stealing my audience!'

Always a great sign when your images are redolent of Fritz Hippler's Eternal Jew.

Backpedaling from Oxfam.

Why do you think that's bad? Are you a transphobe?

I'm not daft. Of course I have written to Oxfam. A first class letter to HQ and another letter hand delivered to the local shop.

" The UK charities watchdog is assessing whether it will take action against Oxfam after receiving complaints about a cartoon published by the charity that ignited a row about transgender issues."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/07/oxfam-pride-month-cartoon-charities-watchdog

Interesting choice of image to accompany the article.

From the same article:

"The Charity Commission said it was assessing the complaints in the context of its regulatory and risk framework, which requires it to take action if it considers a charity has undermined public trust and confidence in the charity sector."

A lot of ifs, however, if that ends up being an investigation and if it goes against Oxfam, there are other charities that'll need to take note.

Bloody hell WTAF are Oxfam thinking? I’ll avoid them like the plague in future.

Such a biased and dangerous approach.

Thinking about it - id rather support local charities anyway.

Even if it doesn't get that far, just the fact that they are having to think about whether Oxfam has 'undermined public trust and confidence in the charity sector' is pretty big. No charity of that size[1] should be doing anything that even makes that a question.

[1] No charity of any size should, but particularly one big enough to have a full time comms and.policy departments, and in-house lawyers.

Either way, the fact that Oxfam might get away with this doesn’t mean others would. And the fact that the charity commission is taking it seriously, should be enough to stop other organisations from doing a similar fucked up campaign.

That is a fake though.

Oxfam should never have survived the sexual assault and rape that their workers indulged in in Haiti and Chad, they tefloned away from that, none of those workers faced criminal charges and the man in charge was allowed to resign.

Somehow those doing the assaulting and raping were very aware of the sex of those they wished to rape and assault, those poor girls and women could not identify out of it. How ironic the Guardian picture had Empowering Women in their headline, aid workers raping them is empowering is it Oxfam?

Oh right, so it is! Silly me.

Were the guys who indulged in rape and forced prostitution in Haiti and DRC fucking women and girls or people who identified as women and girls?

The 6 million dollar question @JanesLittleGirl .

Remarkable how they know which sex to use and abuse and also which sex they need to volunteer in all their shops and do all the tedious, boring stuff - empowering women yeah right.

I see #OxfamHatesWomen is gaining some traction on twitter.

I hope they are squirming.

I hope they have had volunteers resign.

I hope that have had lots of direct debits stopped.

I hope the postie covering their HQ has had to take up weight lift because of the complaints.

I hope this keeeps going because it has been too much for too long from Oxfam. It is not the odd root and branch, the whole plant is riddled with misogyny.

And I hope lots of other good charities actually doing what they're supposed to do, instead of virtue signalling and bullying people, get lots more money instead.
