Like so many here, I have been disheartened by the lack of support from so many famous men, those I liked and or admired are now and will forever be in my blacklist. Same for companies.
This whole experience has been so hard and I thank all the incredible women who carried on and spoke for us...
However, who are the men who were on our side? Andrew Neil? Piers Morgan? There aren't many but would love to hear some names of those who put women first...

My Dad 😁

Waitwhat23 · 21/04/2025 14:47

My husband who has always got it and will point out articles and things he thinks I might find interesting. Who said 'but that's unfair to women' from the start.

My Dad, another one who got it early on and has been vocal in his distaste for the abuse meted out against women.

Greyskybluesky · 21/04/2025 14:49

Yay for the dads!

'I heard BoJo unexpectedly speaking some sense on the matter in the HoC towards the end of his tenure.'

I would put him in the same box as Trump - absolutely couldn't give a crap about women, but will say anything that benefits himself and makes him look tough

Agreed. And he could have done something about it whilst Prime Minister, but did not.

He has treated women abysmally in his private life, and that's just what we know. Never mind the number of women widowed or who lost a parent or grandparent because of inactions in March 2020 over Covid.

A few names that haven't been mentioned:
Scott Capurro - the gay US comedian who lives in the UK
Jack Dee
Daley Thompson - he was at the WPUK Sharron Davies / Emma Hilton evening back in the day and is a long term supporter
My DH - who works in an industry riddled with genderism and pushes back on it at every opportunity

Just found this again from 2017. A man who is the opposite of the wonderful men on this thread. Owen Jones. Where are you now, you odious little punk.

Horrible man. The Guardian is a truly awful paper.

How odd and hypocritical not to mention Donald Trump on here - it is shameful, MNers! Yes, let us not allow facts get in the way of the Trump Derangement Syndrome progression.

Liberal Voice for Women (LVW) is the Lib Dem GC group fighting back against the ideological madness consuming the main party.

There are men who support LVW, and I thank them.

They also have been targeted by many other Lib Dem members, some of whom have characterised LVW as ‘lice’ who require eradication. The Lib Dem complaints process about this has proved useless.

The Lib Dem Party is NOT a tame alternative to the Tories or Labour.

I did an online questionnaire about which party you support based on their policies and it said Lib Dem. I have always supported proportional representation. However, I obviously couldn't vote Lib Dem because of their blind adherence to twaw. I am also concerned about pr now - because of how a loon like Maggie Chapman appears to be lodged in the Scottish parliament despite not actually having a constituency. I admire those within the Lib Dems who are trying to reverse the tanker but I can't see it happening any time soon. Thanks for not just walking away though.

I don't understand this comment. Trump has been mentioned.

Tell us you've not read through the thread without telling us you have not read through the thread.

Some people would call that stupidity.

Sorry, my fault - I admit, I don't read all the pages of the thread, I apologise. I do.

Ross Tucker - sports scientist who robustly deconstructed the Phelps Gambit

My DH who robustly and successfully argued for male/female toilets as the norm with some gender neutral provision facilities on each floor (as opposed to all gender neutral provision - cubicles with shared sinks the architects had proposed and that everyone else would have signed off) at the new corporate HQ that was being built and where he now works.

Professor Robert Wintemute. Who helped write the Yogyakarta Principles which aimed to promote Gender rather than sexual identity in international law. He has since rescinded because the jurists who wrote the document failed to take women's inherent rights to bodily autonomy into account.

Julie Bindel and Melanie Newman talked to Professor Robert Wintemute in The Critic.

Professor Robert Winston - did a quick skim and wasn’t sure if he’d been mentioned!

Shahrar Ali - is he mentioned?

FKAT · 21/04/2025 17:07

if people are doing sad faces about how we are adding Right Wing non-feminist men to this list of those who opposed gender ideology, I will add Piers Corbyn (who once came along to an LWS meeting) Grin in the interests of ideological balance.

Is it sad, bigoted and awful that I can immediately see that the child in the Guardian photo is a boy?

Alex Deane who was the Conservative candidate for Finchley & Golders Green was a great supporter of the local Womens' Rights Network and advocate against self-ID. Sadly he was pipped to the seat by our gender drunk, self-ID and surrogacy loving Solicitor General Sarah Sackman.

Robert Webb, not only for damaging his career but for using the words ‘mums with munchausen’ when referring to Mermaids.

The historian and author Simon Webb - YouTube channel History Debunked - "Hallo again"

He's consistently called the trans lobby out for the racket that it is.

I was slightly disappointed that Morrissey, who makes no secret of his other views on virtually everything, chose not to support gender critical women explicitly, apart from voicing his disgust that Germaine Greer had been cancelled for calling out the madness, putting her face on his drumkit (I think) on his last tour. He also spoke in the past of his admiration for Greer and Janice Raymond.

I suppose he went further than most, but he should have spoken out more clearly imo, especially given that he's kind of got cancelled in recent years anyway for other matters. What did he have to lose?
