a list of men or companies who have stood up for us

[siucra]

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...

That would be so sad. Imagine a world without Tunnocks.

Yes, it was hilarious. The Birds Eye sm person just kept on replying ‘potato ‘ to the demands to cancel mumsnet. To this day I make sure to buy their peas and fish fingers etc.

listen, we have to take what we can get. Also caramel wafers- yum.

I love the interview when he's praised for being the 'first person ever to win two Olympic tennis gold medals' and he pointed out that Serena and Venus Williams had already got 'about 4 gold medals each' and another interview when another tennis player was praised for being 'the first US player to reach a major semi final since 2009' and Andy said 'first male'.

Also the guy who is in the English Black Ball Pool case at the moment.

A broken clock is still correct twice a day.

can’t stand the man. But he is still right.
also can’t stand piers Morgan.

James Kirkup.

I remember how stunned I was when I first read this.

Oh, i had missed that. That's very funny! I'll have to buy some Birds Eye.

Not the point of the thread at all but I stopped buying any Flora products when they stopped advertising on MN because of pressure from TRAs. This was in 2019 but I remember them pulling their ads. I bought my first Flora product again recently but only out of desperation because my usual vegan butter wasn't available in the supermarket and I needed it for baking. But I would usually go for another brand if I can.

Flora ended its advertising partnership with Mumsnet in 2019 due to complaints about transphobia on the parenting website. Stop Funding Hate and other campaigners raised concerns that Mumsnet "platforms nasty attitudes and isn't doing enough to protect its members," according to the Stop Funding Hate website. Following the decision, The Independent reported that Mumsnet users declared a boycott of Flora margarine.

The decision to end the advertising partnership was made by Upfield, the parent company of Flora. The company stated that they are "wholly committed to our values, which include treating everyone equally, so have made the decision to no longer work with Mumsnet," according to Campaign Live.

Fred Sargeant, 74, founder member of the 1969 Stonewall riots, who was attacked by TRAs at the 39th Burlington Pride Parade in Vermont in 2022.

Love James Dreyfus
and Robert webb
and John Boynes apology was a masterclass on how to really see the problem and make a proper apology.

lineham has done so much and lost so much. I hope that his private life brings him some joy soon.

I don't think Richard Dawkins has been mentioned yet. He's been very strong on this.

So many scientists and atheists/professional sceptics have either been silent or have some kind of massive cognitive dissonance which enables them to pretend TWAW so it's been really great that he speaks out.

Andrew Doyle and all the other fellows on Free Speech Nation.

Andy Murray

What a lovely thread. I'd forgotten some of the battles lost and won.
I tried tunnocks because of the hoo-ha. Unfortunately I detest them.

Yes!! What a hero, in all the ways. No black face, no woman face. Attacked by gay rioters he’d protected.

Sorry if I’ve missed it but can’t believe Joe Rogan hasn’t been mentioned. He’s been absolutely steadfast and has given a huge platform to a wide variety of GC voices.

Omg. Then we really would be in trouble. Let’s not even think about it.

Australian journalist Bernard Lane.

I love Andy Murray more than anyone and he's stood up for women's sports but I'm not sure he's ever stood up and said TWANW. The surgeon who did his hip resurfacing is a TW.

No he is a very very recent u turn. He was appalling back in the day. His tweets were awful on this. He was very much part of the group within labour to out and ostracise gc women, including rose duffield.

Malcolm Clark, founder member of LGB Alliance.

Simon Fanshawe, co-founder of Stonewall UK.

Ben Cooper KC and solicitor, Peter Daly, who represented Allison Bailey.

Colin Wynter KC

Yes to all the ones above.
Also, Geoff Norcott: mild ish on his podcast, much more clear cut support on hus live shows. Also, several names mentioned by pp our regulars on his podcast ( the triggernometry guys, Andrew Doyle, Josh Howie, oh,and not mentioned that I saw but Simon Evans).
