Yes this is the feminism board. Paul Embery clipped it but I wonder if anyone saw it in full? He says the piece was about the impact of soaring water bills on an everyday mother. The voiceover calls the person a customer but the customer calls themself a mum. On the Twitter thread someone points out that the customer works for the TUC and is an economist who has been published in the Guardian. I think it’s fair to say the customer is neither a mother nor an ‘everyday’ one.

And yes, I am shouting, because I’m so fucking angry that some people will actually ignore the utter abhorrence of a BABY, a real live baby, being used as a prop for someone’s fetish; will ignore so many safeguarding red flags it makes Regent Street last month look restrained, all to BEEEEEEEEE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND.

Fucksake. Open your eyes to what’s really going on here.

Many people's area are completely open, believe me.

It's not that they don't get it. They do. They just disagree with you pointing it out.

Do you lot realise “biological” women and mothers can also use nipple clamps during sex? Does that make their breastfeeding a fetish as well?

Damn it! Just as I left for the school run. Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!

I wish that was true. But trans will still score 23 out of 24 on the list of things people will claim they're worried about, there'll be no major boycott of events where men regularly beat women in sport, there'll be no mass rising of support for the likes of Rosie Duffield or Miriam Cates, there'll be no pressure on Starmer, Sunak will blunder on.

Yes, there'll be more public disgust at this, but beyond that?...

I look at things like Grenfell Tower. I'm sure in decades past, that would have brought governments down. Now?...

For me, the Rubicon was crossed with the Cass Report into the Tavistock. I would have bet the house on that shocking politicians out of their complacence. The reality? Tumbleweed.

Imagine this being the hill you decide to die on.

The use of "you lot" is familiar.

"Something went wrong"

Yep, you could say that...

It depends @artishard if, like me, you don't have a twitter account we've not been able to view tweets directly for a few days. If you do then the tweet might have been deleted.

IvyTwines · 04/07/2023 09:07

Give it time. A few months ago, under Twitter's old moderator regime, feminist and GC voices were routinely silenced. Speak up, speak out about this insanity, simply state biological facts, and your account would be deleted. We saw through the Challenor affair part 2, US leg, the types of people who were working behind the scenes silencing women's & GC voices. Musk "ain't no Aslan", but it feels like that seemingly endless winter is now thawing.

Didn't realise.this, thanks for the heads up!

People are clearly disturbed at the sight of a man 'breasfeeding' but what is even more disturbing is how widespread this practice seems to be. Someone posted a link to a very upsetting image on the other thread. If only the general public knew this is not a one off; It is a feature of the attempt to 'queer' society.

It is the same as with the case of. 'Isla Bryson'. People reacted as if this was just a one off. what they don't know is that males who have committed sexual offences against women and children are routinely locked up in women's prisons, and women have been raped and even made pregnant by these men.

People in general, are not aware of the extent of the fetishisation of womanhood, or what it looks like in practice; in the flesh.

We just know that at any given time there are people ( males, but females too) who are adopting babies, or having babies by surrogate ( especially in the U.S) with the expressed intention of subjecting them to paraphillias and adult sexual desires. We all know how determined paedophiles are; we know how they operate. they will stop at nothing, and do anything.

Let's see.... publicly post about their nipple clamping fetish, publicly post pictures of them breast feeding.

Ourladycheesusedatum · 04/07/2023 09:41

I'd like to say a male openly pretending to breastfeed a baby is the line in the sand that will make people finally start listening to women. But I doubt it, sadly

It happened in 2021 I think
Heres a link, I think the original video was taken down (or more likely I just cant find it)
Yes I know Matt Walsh is a nazi or far right or something, who cares, he covers it.

What's tragic is that normal decent people have been so cowed by these activists and their intimidation and censorship that it's left to the likes of Walsh to call it out. That image at the bottom there of the hairy couple is so disturbing, like something from a 70s hillbilly horror movie.

NotHavingIt · 04/07/2023 09:53

The internet has dulled people's ssensitivities and made them more open to extremes. Witness the number of men we read of on a weekly basis who are arrested for the production and distribution of child pornography; trans identified people such as Andrea Long Chu who admits that pornography is what made them trans; people watching beheadings filmed live by jihadists; animals tortured........

The internet has removed all boundaries, and whilst in some circumstances this can be a positive; in many circumastances the erasure of boundaries is very negative indeed.

Except it is not a movie, it is real...yet people end up viewing it as a mere movie detached from real life. the same way they think that women who are abused in pornography are just actresses and that the abuse they are being subject to is not really abuse.

I've posted this video before, several times. It has been removed by MN every time, so we will see how long this stays up.
Truth is repellent to some people it would seem.

At this stage I think a man could stuff a cushion up his jumper and say he was pregnant and some people (including some female MP's) would go along with it and say who are we to gatekeep pregnancy. What even is pregnancy, anyway? Lots of women get pregnant and don't produce a live baby at the end of it, etc etc. You can be pregnant and have no symptoms, look at all the women who give birth and didn't realise they were pregnant. Some women don't even show all that much. He could draw a line on a pregnancy test with a biro and people would say look, he got a positive test, it must be true.

ITV did it for clicks on an otherwise dull piece that no-one would have watched. That we'd end up here seems inevitable because these individuals do seem to often have certain interests. I'd like to say a male openly pretending to breastfeed a baby is the line in the sand that will make people finally start listening to women. But I doubt it, sadly. Because they're still male and we're still only women.

This.

That's the thing when you make outrageous claims in public that piss people off: people will start digging into your background.
