The immaturity and petulance is off the scale. Do they think this makes them sound... good??

This week alone there's been video from the Liverpool SFW of some moron yelling "I'm wearing Adidas" and "you're wools" (daft nickname for non-Scousers) at the women.

The idiot academic protesting outside the book launch in Edinburgh saying he hadn't read it but was told it was bad.

Are they actually getting more stupid? It certainly appears so. They have absolutely no argument at all.

I expect some of them (not all) will grow up eventually and cringe at their former arrogant, ignorant younger selves.

The men are beyond all hope but I hope some of these young women eventually wake up to how silly they are being and what is actually going on here.

The large majority of people who were going along with trans rights activists because they weren't quite aware what was going on has now fallen away. Everyone knows who Isla Bryson is. Most people have worked out what the issues are.

The only ones left are the really hardcore misogynists and extremists.

Yes, fair enough, Eresh, I guess some of the younger ones are still stuck in a bubble.

I wonder if they even realise what the women are going to be talking about? Speakers are discussing FGM, the UN's special rapporteur on VAWG is attending.

To protest that with 'YMCA' (Of course, a song about men) is just so crass it's beyond parody.

Idiots.

It hasn't stopped them.

Joanna Cherry opens FiLiA conference with an amazing speech, calls on political leaders to condemn attempts to shut down largest feminist conference in Europe. 👏 @joannaccherry #filia2023

Brilliant.

Wish I was there.

The protestors are away.

This is the scene outside the @FiLiA_charity women's rights conference in Glasgow.

I wonder if there will ever be a time in my life when women can gather to talk about their own interests without men shouting abuse at them.

Probably not. Some men can't stand women saying No.

Joanna Cherry at Filia.

She looks like a warrior!

Sorry derail, but was it just that photo? The X in the Scotrail logo is all wrong.

Love Joanna Cherry's scarf.

Now a speaker from the European Network for Migrant women, talking about the rights that have been stripped from Afghan women.

Edit: speaker was Noura Raad

I think this needs a separate thread but adding it here too; the man leading the duck you chants that Helen Lewis and others have filmed was filmed last night in a drag act at the Pollo:

He says "we fucking hate Joanna Cherry" and aims a slow, low under arm punch through the air.

Sorry, cross post.

Didn't see this!

Absolute misogynist.

I posted it first thing at 8.35

I think this is getting Harwood attention that his..ahem..talent didn't. It's another form of grifting.

I think it's Harlow. Tom Harwood is a dim posh contrarian on GB News.

Crap sorry! I'm working backwards and which I shouldn't be, I'm again completely shocked by the misogyny.

I woke in the early hours to see Jenny posting she'd been thrown out.

And yes, so many people grift off the back of the hatred of women not shutting up.

It's fine, the more attention it gets the better, and I didn't give much detail.

Bugger, sorry. Yes, Harlow.

Oh, sorry!

Does he think he can do a veiled threat because he's in an act? I'm hopping mad
