What is hilarious is that Merlin honestly thought saying a ‘I don’t condone violence’ kind of statement would hide their contempt and victim blaming. I doubt that anyone knowing their posts would ever be distracted by such a lie.
You absolutely support violence and intimidation against anyone you deem unacceptable. Whether it is women or men, I believe. I mean, did you or did you not support the extremely abusive and extreme intimidation of one single gay man who walked through the crowd at Pride wearing his choice of apparel that others disagreed with? No?
Standing with a sign, wearing the wrong apparel, talking about women’s rights….. all deserving of the violence and intimidation extreme activists dish out because ‘they should just STFU’.
It really is apparent how abhorrent those views are when you start putting all the posts together. It is not far from ‘she made me do it, she made me irate!’’ Or ‘she wore a mini skirt’. I do wonder what merlin ever thinks they are achieving for trans people with their posts. I have come to think they are not supporting trans people, and all they want is that short burst of piety remonstrating women and making trans activists look ridiculous at the same time.
