NC for this.
For a long time I have always said to myself if a LWS event came near to me, the least I could do was go along and show solidarity. Seeing what has happened elsewhere has made me so angry, it would be time to stand up and be counted.

Now there is an event next week, and I'm really surprised how nervous, even scared I am about going along just to listen, and really just wanted to reach out for advice, support, whatever.

I'm worried about the vitriol of protesters, the attitude of the police. I have worked in pretty 'captured' sectors and am concerned about being identified on social media, or by acquaintances - I'm fairly sure there'll be old contacts, people I like and who I have had time for - protesting or certainly vocally supporting the shutting down of KJK on the day. I guess I personally run the risk of being publicly 'outed' and losing friends and contacts that will have a real impact on things I do that mean a great deal to me.

Yet I feel if I don't go I will always regret not standing up and showing KJK support on my doorstep. I'm even worried about DM-ing the local Women's Rights Network as I tweet with my full name. Perhaps if anyone is on this board they can PM here, or give some info about plans for the day?

Sorry I haven't seen any threads about this LWS event so apologies if there is one already.

Starting to get bored of her act to be fair. It's just the same stuff rehashed.

She really needs some new material to support the grift to keep going.

Find yourself a nice,dark room and flake out with a damp tea towel over your mush;we'll let you know when it's over.

Don't they look sweet

Actually...forget it. CBA.

'^You stupid fucking terfs'
'shut your stupid fucking mouths'^

Of course. That's about the level of these people. We did a good thread in 2018 here where we translated "terf" to "woman I don't like/approve of". It's quite enlightening.

Then go spend your Sunday afternoon doing something else. No one is forcing you to watch or listen.

@Boiledbeetle I know you’ll know this one… bit of a throw back, but I reckon Mishy would def benefit 👍

Used to love that!

ArabellaScott · 08/10/2023 13:27

Sounds like there should be more police there, tbh.

Talk about TOTALLY missing the point - but well done for showing you just post rubbish.

She says the same because she organises and introduces speakers.

What is new is the women who speak at each event.

Wake up and concentrate.

If you want to be taken seriously instead of posting vacuous nonsense at least make the effort to understand.

Why dont you show that you are listening by commenting on what speakers, which none of us will have heard before, are saying.

But well done for exposing yourself.

The younger pink blobby is definitely acting as though older sibling forced them to go. I put them at about 12yrs 😬

Thinking of everyone there Flowers

IwantToRetire · 08/10/2023 13:28

I wish youtube search was better - have wasted 20 minutes with the search function unable to find today's live stream.

So I thought the only option is to find it via FWR - which I did - so thanks!

Catiette · 08/10/2023 13:29

The point is in the repetition. Lots of people encountering the same issues, feeling the same way. Acknowledge this, & there’ll be less need to repeat it!

Boiledbeetle · 08/10/2023 13:29

imagine if people could only say/do something once.

If books could only be read once
If plays could only be performed once
If poems could only be read once
If songs could only be played once!

ArabellaScott · 08/10/2023 13:29

Please don't encourage Mishy to expose themself.

Boiledbeetle · 08/10/2023 13:30

Can't believe there's no barrier between the women and the TRAs

I'm waiting for their ma to burst into shot and start smacking them around with a Tupperware lid.

Scampuss · 08/10/2023 13:31

Some stuff needs and warrants repeating.

Hope everyone has a fab time and all the women attending stay safe.

And that the police do their jobs properly.

Pick your cost/shoes/bag up off the floor
Tidy your room
Do your homework
Take your plate to the kitchen
Get off the PS/wii
Go get some fresh air

Perhaps this is why Mishy hates repetition.

ApocalipstickNow · 08/10/2023 13:34

Mish is bored because hearing women discuss things like their experience of sexual assault is BO-OO-RING to Mish.

We know. We know how you feel.

Women are saying they are penned in. That's a baying mob. Where are the police?
