Women certainly are assaulted and, harassed when we gather to speak and discuss our rights (or lack thereof).

Chrus's mates assemble outside and scream violent threats at us.

Haven't you seen let women speak events, or what happens at screenings of feminist films?

Organisations like WRN have to meet in secret for fear of those men.

Even At Oxford literary Festival they gathered outside when Helen Joyce was speaking about her book and shouted threats and tried to drown out the discussion with noise.

It happens a lot, please don't minimise it just because you have somehow avoided hearing about it.

And the police do nothing.

Read the women who wouldn't wheesht if you want more examples.

that Fake SEEN police guy, has blueskyed this

which is also an incitement to something, i feel? any legal brains here?

text of Bluesky post:

Graham Linehan is openly inciting further harassment of Dr Beth Upon [sic] during live legal proceedings, where the issue of deadnaming trans witnesses in court is ongoing.
We will take action right now.

JFC! I called the police last year because there was a car parked just outside my flat and the male occupant was screaming abuse at his female passenger, she got out the car and he followed her, still screaming and grabbing her arm. Did they come out, did they fuck.

I took the car registration and description of both occupants just in case they drove off. I had a call from an officer several days later to say unless the incident had been captured on cctv they wouldn’t do anything.

Now I know why, they are too busy arresting people for upsetting men in dresses. Pathetic.

My Dad taught me what he had been taught in the army, the agents of the government. Works best with army boots. If attacked, knee him in the groin, scrape down his shins and stamp on his instep. Then rabbit punch him in the back before running. Never had to do it as no-one has ever attacked. Graham's tweet is similarly dependent on the TW not doing what he should and leaving. Of course the TWs do not accept that they are wrong.
5 armed police!

just to archive SEEN posted this:

Community, we are too busy with Court of Appeal stuff...
Can you please monitor X for any posts naming [name redacted by post author] in any reference to the Graham Linehan arrest matter. It's very important to screen-shot the full tweets showing the date stamps. We will supply an email address to send to later on

my dad taught me to punch them in the balls, make sure both your feet are on the ground so you don't get off balance if they grab your leg.

And yes. I have done this. Perhaps i should hand myself in for sexual violence?

Interruptaron incoming.

Yes please @Christinapple - you also report those holding placards such as “Decapitate TERFS” don’t you?

Yes, threatening to punch people in the genitalia is a sexual threat of violence.

He didn't do this though, did he. He suggested a form of self defense to females if all else fails when faced with the threat of a male present in a female space. What is sexual about it? I would absolutely go for a bloke's balls to stop him; because, faced with a far stronger male, I would go for their most vulnerable area rather than try to give them a right hook that would make little impact.

This

if Any biological man EVER makes my DD or her friends feel unsafe and it’s safe for me to do so I absolutely will not hesitate to kick him in his balls if need be.

Fucking arrest me

You haven't been paying attention for the last 10 years.

An uninsured driver hit my parked car causing a lot of damage and drove off without stopping.
I sent the police clear CCTV that I’d hunted down and found from a shop opposite. They did nothing. So the CCTV bit is also bollocks.

Fair enough, but where are all the trans activists being arrested for threats to kill and rape towards GC women then? Why are they allowed to do that with no consequences? I don't agree with the way Graham Linnehan tweets, I understand his bitterness but I don't think it helps his arguments to post like that, but it's incredibly obvious that the policing of speech on this issue only goes one way.

We know that's still happening now but many women don't both reporting it. Because what's the point? If the police even turn up then chances are nothing will come of it or they are told they shouldn't have dressed so clingy, they must've been behaving flirtatiously or some other such bs.

Although I'm sure some helpful soul will pipe up at some point and suggest that Queen Cam should've been flattered.

This can’t be real?! We’re heading towards something awful in this country, and soon. You can feel it.

And no doubt they will before you could blink. And then probably ask you to apologise to the perpetrator!

IA(certainly)NAL but I think the way you've worded it is ok. You are not highlighting one group of men who have a protected characteristic.

Edit as this was a response to this,

if Any biological man EVER makes my DD or her friends feel unsafe and it’s safe for me to do so I absolutely will not hesitate to kick him in his balls if need be.
Fucking arrest me

As feminists we condemn male violence from the other side and we must condemn it from our side too.

@LBFseBrom

'I note in the above article he said, "In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak", and that is certainly not true.'

Which part of what he said isn't true?

It’s a fairly standard remark on self defence. Does anyone who says this about facing male threat need to stop or get arrested?

That's a massive overreaction. If someone else did a tweet saying (never mind the context etc) that in certain circumstances you should kick somebody in the balls, I doubt multiple armed police would be involved. And they certainly wouldn't be meeting the person at the airport.

Given his high profile etc why not do what they very often do which is invite him to attend an interview with his solicitor?

Can someone please explain why GL saying punch a TW in the balls is different to Sarah Jane Baker saying punch a terf in the face?

I have no dog in this game, I'm neither for nor against GL but if one is bad surely the other also is?

Is that for real?! Seriously!?

If that is what he’s arrested for then we need seriously to sort out the policing and law in this country.

Punch them in the balls is a completely legitimate form and a well advised form of self defence for women being assaulted by men. Anyone remember Miss Congenialtys SING. Solar plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin. Should be taught in schools to female only classes imo.
