Leadership
See the student. See the student explain.
In this video, Teddy Hope, one of our Group Leaders explains why they’re voting for the SNP on the 23rd of May.
Teddy Hope has shoulder-length hair and a wispy beard. Teddy Hope is Women’s Group Leader for SNP Students.
For the record, are there any women’s groups out there that are actually led by women?
So this is just a man, right? A man named Teddy. Aside from his pro-trans shirt, there’s no trans angle, no claim that he’s a woman.
So…why is a man leading the women’s group?
Skeletor, are you serious?
Woman can’t lead, they can only follow. A woman without a man is, well, like a woman, but not a woman.
Of course Teddy is the right man to tell women what to do, how to think, how to feel. He’s the Rupert Murdoch of woke feminism.

Yes, I am serious. I am very disappointed in Teddy’s lack of effort. Come on, Teddy, at least smear on some lipstick* and claim you’re “Theodora” before you start trying to lead women’s groups. It’s just lazy.
(The weird thing is they have women in other positions, so I don’t know how a man ended up in charge of the women’s group. Maybe those female leaders are all the women in the group and they preferred those positions? But then if there are so few women, why do they need a leader?)
* Actual women don’t need to wear lipstick.
Teddy claims to be non-binary! And it’s so very dull and last century to let women lead women’s groups. Bitches.
Surprised this has lasted at Pharyngula, but maybe the TRA’s are all sleeping soundly tonight.

There are numerous testimonies, of women in particular, who have been driven from public life, or persisted in it despite anxiety and depression consequent on verbal harrassment based on their gender and/or other “protected characteristics”. Such harrassment is a hate crime: it is specifically intended to intimidate not only its immediate target, but all members of such a class or classes.
Like all the women driven from public life, harassed, fired, threatened with assault and murder for simply expressing that there is a biological basis to being a woman and that women need and deserve spaces free from males.

Well, yeah, but they deserve it, so it’s fine. TERFs get stitches.
Roj, how dare you try to apply KG’s wokeness (triagian was quoting KG’s #33) consistently! Such nerve! Have you forgotten that all rules change immediately and seamlessly as soon as a male declares themselves non-binary or female? Perform twenty Hail Harrys immediately:
Hail Harry, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst womxn, and blessed is the fruit of thy surrogate’s womb, Jesus. Holy Harry, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

And watch as Porivil’s anti-female and explicitly violent comment is tolerated and even defended by the usual wokies.
iknklast, here’s one group that’s led by women:

Oh wow. Not only is there no introspection as to KG’s comment quoted at #6, not only was triagian banned (for being Roj himself, according to PZ)… but all text was erased.
“Like all the women driven from public life, harassed, fired, threatened with assault and murder for simply expressing that there is a biological basis to being a woman and that women need and deserve spaces free from males.” – Deleted.
“Well, yeah, but they deserve it so it’s fine. TERFs get stitches.” – Not deleted.
For clarity:
“Well, yeah, but [women that express that there is a biological basis to being a woman] deserve [to be driven from public life, harassed, fired, threatened with assault and murder], so it’s fine. TERFs get stitches.” – NOT DELETED.
I’m afraid introspection is not a valued thing at Pharyngula, KG’s own lack of self-reflection included. Sure, let’s condemn harassment and threats but loathe those transphobes anyway.
Porivil Sorrens’ comment *should* read as a sarcastic comment, meant to parody the silliness of TRAs. But these sentiments are so rife within that scene, and meant with such utmost seriousness, that I can’t take it as anything but a sincere comment. Dr. Myers can edit and ban to his heart’s desire, but by letting that comment stand unchallenged, he shows that he has sided with the actual harassers.
Porivil has been like that and worse on many occasions. It is definitely not a sarcastic comment.
(along with many of them besides)
