Glinner Bullseye comment on X

[Thatcatsaflippingnightmare]

Always trying to explain Glinner to DH, today he showed me on X JD Vance defending murder of the woman by ICE. Glinner had replied something like 'bullseye', as in agreement. I tried to comprehend with "satire?" but he said no he's on Liz truss show these days. I said well he's always been about protecting women and children, he's not suddenly supporting femicide, but the post convinced DH otherwise. Any insights? I'm not on social media

I agree. And no that is not me “defending” or “excusing” his comments, it was an extraordinarily awful retweet. But I do think certain posters are so convinced of their goodies and baddies worldview that they can’t see anything else.

I'm finding this thread informative, interesting, thought provoking, hopeful and challenging. From a feminist perspective.

I havent seen a thread like this on FWR in a long time. And I'm grateful for every single post.

The more right-leaning posters on this board. Those that applaud an action of Trump’s (“I can like one thing a person does but not others!) over and over again, and KJK, Glinner, all the time suggesting they are politically homeless while laughing at what stupid leftists do. Those people.

I certainly wasn’t suggesting you’re one of those, so I made sure to say so.

Good for you. Other opinions are available.

Wow. You should let MNHQ know about this terrible state of affairs, including the fact that actual men are currently posting on the board too.

Can’t people laugh at extremists whatever their political stripe? Pretending men are women is always going to be absurd.

And there it is.

Big lol at that. No, I’m not being “told off” because I’m not accountable to you for anything

You're the one who's going on about feeling scolded though if anyone says something you don't like.
So if you don't think you're being told off (scolded means the same) why are you wanging on about being scolded?

I asked for evidence, not to defend him, but in the hope that it was untrue, a false flag operation. I've since found it in his feed. I am heartily disappointed.

Moral of the story: trust no one.

MNHQ know about the offer they made to men on twitter, why would I alert them to their own actions?

I have no idea, MNHQ have never said they stopped it. The years it went on for might well carry on for many more, who knows.

I’m wanging on about certain posters’ need to scold. I don’t really give a shiny shit what they think, so it’s just an observation 🤷‍♀️ hope that helps.

It’s surprising that long term regular posters (which I know the pp to be) weren’t aware of this policy.

Given your clear use of sarcasm in that context, am I correct in thinking that you believe that a woman should defy armed men if she believes that those men are "busy setting up a dictatorship"? Can you perhaps think of why that might be an ill-advised course of action?

Yes, women have been shot whilst behaving completely compliantly; yes, it's always the man's choice to be violent; and at the same time the man is more likely to lose his temper if she doesn't appease him. This is "Surviving Abusive Men 101".

There what is?

Back to “laughing at leftists”. It’s so predictable.

Why can’t people laugh at extremists? Do you think people don’t laugh at right wing extremists? I can link you to plenty on here alone.

Have you genuinely never laughed at the excesses of Trump or made fun of Farage, @ItsNotOrwell?

When I write “laughing at leftists”, I mean ‘making fun of them’ in a demeaning, derisory manner.

And no, I don’t laugh at anything Trump does and I have no interest in Farage.

I wonder if they know that a director of MN is also a director of the Good Law Project? Who directly take millions in funds to run cases in total objection to FWR.

Yes, I think this is the biggest problem in political discourse today. Social media has exacerbated the tribalism exponentially.

Good for you, if that’s your principle. Some people find laughing at terrible stuff helps. You can’t honestly say that you aren’t aware of many people mocking and being demeaning and derisory about people on the right though, can you?

Quite.

Up to them, obviously. He clearly hasn’t had the same influence as that “father of an adult trans woman” who used his influence to control policy and fatally torpedoed the “Women’s” Equality Party.

I know. This thread is testament to that. Lots of women with lots of different opinions. Most of them from a Feminist perspective.

I get that you dont like it, but I am so grateful for it at this time.
