Stephen Fry - What a repulsive, condescending misogynistic turd

Yuk.

Ah so now we're pulling out the race card, in a situation that has nothing to do with race, in an attempt to signal ourselves as the 'good people'

Because we can't actually provide any evidence for what we asserted.

Yes, how dare women celebrate that their rights were upheld after guys with fetishes tried to say they were biological women in law.

I listened to a podcast yesterday where a guy complained that JKR was not 'classy' enough after the result. 🙄

Do you hear yourself?

I agree, I always think he and Jeremy Clarkson are cut from the same cloth. Pompous misogynists with over inflated egos who think having a good memory
for facts and a loud voice excuses you having both the emotional intelligence of a slug and the charm of a dog turd you have accidentally walked into your house on the bottom of your ridged sole trainers.

And he saw what happened to Glinner

She's achieved infinitely more to help women and girls than you will ever be able to.

Obnoxious and vile man.

What has he said in the past?

God, I'd far rather spend an evening with Clarkson than Fry!

But obvs I would choose JKR over either of them 😁

'have never really liked Stephen Fry'

No me neither. He'll get his arse handed to him about this and will no doubt have a group hug with Boy George about those very nasty women pointing out the inconvenient truth.

Stephen? Is that you?

Yes JKR needs to be more classy.

Meanwhile this is all fine. Decaptitate a TERF anyone?

My view about all things of sharp and difficult nature is that is is much more important to beeee kiiiiiiind effective than to be right.

^^ What he really means.

He likes to pretend he’s edgy, but he’s far too worried about having his career cancelled and nobody ‘important,’ (to him), gives a shit if you insult a woman.

So ... you cannot provide any evidence to support your accusations?

That sounds more like you existing in an echo chamber is what is true and your accusation of FWR being an echo chamber is just another false accusation.

If your alternative view cannot be substantiated, your accusations are coming across as hypocritical.

Good. Off you pop then, and do your good work.

We'll just sit here commenting online, moving the Overton Window one post at a time...

in my eyes it does have something to do with race. People who have suffered discrimination understand what it looks and feels like. That engenders sympathy in some cases. That is what makes this issue so thorny and complicated. Many women understand this. Like @Christmasmorale I feel that trying to have a discussion about this can be emotionally draining.

What a very pompous and unpleasant man. Ironically, he's not being kind or effective. Nor is he right

"Then that's on you. If you cannot see what is wrong with them. I no longer do that job on race discussion and will not on this - if people are blind to obvious hate then that's their problem not mine to fix." @Christmasmorale

Seems you have a problem to fix. You're clearly blind to the hate that the TRA rant at women, while shouting through a loud hailer with their tops off/undone...but that kind of hate is ok is it? Riiiiight...

But I admire him for taking a stance on this.

please do not misquote me.

I wonder if Sir Stephen will be donating all those delicious royalties from the Harry Potter audio books to a trans charity?🤔 Along with those made by the ridiculously woke actors from the films.?
I'm guessing these PC chuntering, JK bashing idiots are not that principled!

Women get radicalised by life.

That aside, I know a couple of people who encountered him and he is very 'Don't you know who I am?'

It's actually quite bizarre that people allegedly of colour would equate their experiences with men dressing up as women and demanding women's rights

People who have suffered discrimination understand what it looks and feels like.

You mean like the female sex? Right? Who have suffered discrimination by males, the oppressor sex class, that you are trying to make out they are victims the moment they don a dress and slap on some lippy.

That engenders sympathy in some cases.

So where is your sympathy for the female sex, instead of being on your knees for the patriarchy?

Why?

I don’t care that he disagrees but he isn’t really “taking a stance”. He won’t lose anything by what he has said.

What are you trying to say here?

Women have faced discrimination at the hands of men since the dawn of time. Men gaslighting us that they deserve to be in our spaces and we're bigots for disagreeing, is just another bloody manifestation.

Thankfully JKR has no qualms in calling that out.
