Nope pretends not to know what a woman is & threw James Dreyfus under the bus without a second thought (he by contrast is only ever lovely about her)

What did she actually do or say to/about James Dreyfus?

I have googled and can't find anything.

PronounssheRa · 06/11/2023 11:10

She has never said anything directly about James AFAIK more that she has helped create an environment where anyone standing up for women or the rights of gay men and lesbians is branded a bigot/cunt etc etc.

James has endured a ton of abuse some of it horribly homophobic and Kathy has been silent. Maintaining her TWAW credentials might be more important to her. Who knows.

SidekickSylvia · 06/11/2023 11:13

I think she's a horrible person. One of those people who think she's a superior being because she's massively opinionated with no tact. She says what she likes, and if you don't like it it's because you're wrong and you can fuck off.
The daft twat.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 06/11/2023 11:17

She’s stood by while TRA have lined up to abuse James & watched as his career has fallen apart.

not once has she stood up for him. She doesn’t have to agree with him but she could say “I don’t agree with him but the abuse is uncalled for”.

but no she’s stood alongside the people who abuse him. Her ‘bravery’ & be kind only extends in one direction

If "sex work" is so amazing why didn't Kathy do it, instead of acting ? You know girl power Kath?? Just not for you eh? Absolute disgrace of a woman.

Maaate · 06/11/2023 11:21

This wasn't very pleasant - the 'another bloke' being referred to is James.

I don’t know why people can’t tolerate differing views. Kathy has long been a strong feminist. You don’t have to agree with everything she says but that doesn’t take away from her qualities. I think trashing other women for their views on a minority group is awful. Some people are even criticising her acting ability based on her views on trans people which is laughable. I think she is fab and I’d much rather take my lead from her than people who can’t tolerate a minority group.

N/C for obvious reasons.

She’s very much TWAW. She also thinks sex workers are very ‘girl power’.

Shes a huge disappointment.

dutysuite · 06/11/2023 11:26

I used to like her until she started giving her opinions about being woke.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 06/11/2023 11:29

kathy is the one who can’t handle differing views - she’s the one who won’t defend a friend for having different views

i also don’t see how anyone can be a feminist if they think sex work is empowering and that TWAW

BloodyHellKen · 06/11/2023 10:49

Woke people aren’t racist, for example, and that’s great, right? I’d much rather be woke than racist.

Sadly I've met a few people who would consider themselves woke and who are racist, against white people and Jews. I actually had one try and explain to me that it was only racism if it was directed at black/brown skinned people and that you can't be racist towards white people 🙄

Good point. I was thinking of Black Lives Matter and how it became a woke cause. But you can’t call yourself anti-racist if you discriminate against any group on the basis of their race.

Completely agree, she's entitled to her own views and hate how insults and putting down abilities etc just for expressing different views to your own happens.

It's not obvious why you've name changed, am.I missing something?

JaneJeffer · 06/11/2023 12:00

She used to be ashamed of her Irish heritage but now she's got an Irish passport 🖕

I read that as her scoffing at a man telling a woman she should be sticking up for another man in the name of women's rights.
As let's face it, that is a bit ridiculous if you think about it.
So what if she replied bluntly?
I thought women didn't have to be nice?

Baldieheid · 06/11/2023 12:17

She's a far better actor than I think she's given credit for. Her "Mary Tudor" in the movie "Elizabeth" really knocked my socks off.

I think women who chant the twaw mantra are short-sighted and a tad dim, not able to see the consequences for themselves. Or they're cowards, unwilling to actually state the truth despite being well aware of it.

There are consequences to both pathways. The first seems easier but will have terrible, truly terrible, consequences for women in the long term.

Kathy Burke has her money and her career but it'll disappear in a flash if she doesn't toe the line.

What does she care for women on the breadline?

They can always wank a guy off in a car for the lecky money, can't they?

FreddysSquishyBollock · 06/11/2023 12:26

Team Dreyfuss on this one, sadly.

Kathy Burke is a massive disappointment on this topic.

Surprised she’s not been cancelled for Waynetta Slob’s views, seeing as the New Puritans cannot tolerate any non PC humour.

Ah Black Lives Matters that fantastic organsation that proclaim that black lives matter until they don't when other black lives matter more and you get caught with yer hand in the till or have a few mansions to buy. Kathy hasn't said much about that or how much of a c*nt that makes you ...

Yeah, straight to the name calling if a woman has different views to you, they must be dim and a coward.

Go feminism!

Scout2016 · 06/11/2023 12:38

Also not a fan, although I do rate her acting.
If we go with TWAW, no women actually benefit but many women loose out. How is that a feminist stance?

IcakethereforeIam · 06/11/2023 12:39

You should hear what the twaw swiw call us.

ooh, a biscuit! Thank you muchlyBrew

CatOnTheCludgy · 06/11/2023 12:43

Nope. Team James here.

I'm ashamed of her Irish heritage.

Only kidding Caitlín de Burca. Disappointed she has morphed into an intolerant bully though.
