The “women’s march” that’s all about the men.

I couldn’t see a thread about this, but I’m just here to share how annoying it is to see a so-called women’s march so concerned with placating men. This is the march in January.

As well as the highly predictable “this is for all women” (meaning including the ones who are men) and the ‘we don’t tolerate transphobia’ (meaning any concept of sex-based oppression), the Facebook group is full of posts reassuring men that of course they’re welcome and it’s not all men and obviously “not my Nigel”. It’s infuriating. Why do people do this?

I am till astonished at their attitude towards Trevi 😧

Same. Though it shows they really know nothing about Trevi.

Well there's this.

Please don't reply to the above message as the screenshot will show. I reported it as I accidentally posted the one that isn't cropped and shows private info.

That “I fight for your free speech” is very revealing, isn’t it?

So SJ is now accusing the organisers of being Terfs too ! Seems as I was right about SWP too .

JumpingPumpkin · 17/01/2025 19:27

I asked a few gentle questions re inclusion and my replies to answers have now been deleted. They can't tolerate any questioning. It’s bonkers.

cariadlet · 17/01/2025 19:27

I'm really loving that it's turned into such a shit show. The screenshots of SJB losing his shit are brilliant.

Thank you to those women who have managed to hold their tongues and stay in the group for the benefit of the rest of us.

Livinginaclock · 17/01/2025 19:28

Fucking hell.
Of course they knew his history though, they defended him, I've got the screenshots, as have many people.

Yep and people are plastering the proof all over twitter for others to see.

TigerLily40 · 17/01/2025 19:35

Apparently all kicking off in the group chat and a second trans speaker has stepped down as SJB is no longer involved.
I bet they are in shock the "lovely" SJB is doing this to them.

Oh no!

Are there still another dozen or so left?

More than likely. What an absolute shit show but entertaining at the same time 😂😂😂

Itiscoldout · 17/01/2025 19:45

There are a lot of people quite upset about being gaslit by the admins. The admins are getting a lot of flack

I really wish the admins had been braver. They could have said, this march centres women. Men and transwomen are very welcome to support us, but this march is about women.

The million women march has said it is strictly biological women and children marching. Men can cheer us on from the sidelines

BackToLurk · 17/01/2025 20:05

The admins and their hangers on gaslit and insulted countless women. They constantly patronised women and told them they needed ‘to learn’. And for what? To placate men, in all their many identities. It would be lovely if they ‘learnt’ from this. They won’t.

(but lots of the women watching will)

From the Cambridge March announcement on the FB group. Its put transrights at the top as something they are marching for. I presume on the basis that if the march is anti-Trump that anything that can put two fingers up to what he is doing is good enough for the marchers. There are so many good reasons to march on behalf of women. Biological women. This has been totally hijacked and I don't think that is the fault of GC women.

I’m also amazed that a generation brought up ‘extremely online’ doesn’t appear to know that the internet never forgets.

I will be at one of the LWS as member of WRN.
