Yet another wave
Karens are complaining about being murdered yet again:
Rallies have taken place across Australia in response to a wave of recent violence against women. Demonstrators want gender-based violence to be declared a national emergency and stricter laws put in place to stop it. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the issue was a national crisis. In Australia, a woman has been killed on average every four days so far this year.
…
Speaking at a march in the capital Canberra attended by thousands of protesters, Mr Albanese admitted the government at all levels needed to do better.
“We need to change culture, the attitudes, the legal system and the approach by all governments,” he said. “We need to make sure that this isn’t up to women, it’s up to men to change men’s behaviour as well,” he added.
And that very much includes the men who call themselves women, and who keep trying to position themselves as “most vulnerable” to male violence.
Does the trans ‘movement’ acknowledge male violence as an issue? It seems they’re so busy slugging old ladies in the face and nailing rats to the doors of women’s spaces that real violence, even gay-bashing against trans prostitutes, is a non-issue.
Could be that they’re all bashed out..
Male violence is one of the reasons TiMs use to demand access to women’s facilities instead of men’s, but that’s as far as it ever seems to go. If they get to use women’s toilets then they don’t have to solve the problem of male violence. Solving it would prevent them from using that risk of personal danger as a justification for their need to gain entrance to women’s spaces (besides, “need” sounds more urgent and important than “want”), so they have a huge disincentive to do tackle male violence. So the idea of male violence is only used to the extent that it is a convenient excuse for accessing women’s facilities. It’s presented as a given, and just how things are, not as something amenable to solution. “Boys will be boys (but let us in because we’re no boys no more!)” Male violence is only a problem to the extent that it effects them. They’ll claim they’re victims of supposed “transmisogyny,” (as opposed to gay-bashing), but don’t give a shit about actual misogyny because they’re part of it. If they had any awareness of, or sensitivity to this, they wouldn’t be forcing themselves into women’s rape crisis centres. But what other facility can confer so much “affirmation” to the aspirational “woman”?
It didn’t have to be this way. Certainly trans identified people have their own issues and needs that could have been addressed more humanely and efficiently, but that was not the direction that gender activism decided to choose. Creating third spaces for trans identified people denies TiMs the “validation” that access to female spaces gives them. In this instance, they want to pass and drop their “transness” altogether. For what other reason are we constantly reminded that “TWAW”? Or at least they are until the next time that brandishing their transness is more expedient and advantagious than passing as women. Also, why go to the trouble of organizing and funding your own facilities when you can simply take those that women have made for themselves? Right Mr. Wadhwa?
TiMs fear of male violence is supposed to somehow trump women’s fear of male violence. This is particularly awkward, given the fact that they themselves are male. Normally, this would be an insurmountable obstacle. But we’re going to skip normalcy, logic, and reality, all at the same time*. This, it turns out, is much easier to do than anybody imagined, Orwell included. It looks like the threshold of force and coercion required is much lower, if you’ve got the right goal protected by the right target. I think the reason for the remarkable degree of success in subversion in this instance is that the demographic paying the price is women. And this was done without having to resort to the “First they came for the Communists,” salami-slice technique of incremental persecution recounted by Niemöller, because the target is half of the population. The female half.
Historically, women’s needs and rights have been nothing but an afterthought, if not ignored altogether. What little consideration women have managed to win has been so recent and tenuous, its roots have barely taken hold in the thin soil that covers the hard bedrock of patriarchal hostility and societal indifference. Women as a sex class are still disadvantaged and discriminated against at all levels. Everywhere. Women’s equality isn’t so much an endangered species as it is a mythological creature. We’ve never seen what a sexually egalitarian society looks like. We’re so little along the path towards that that “society” as a whole wouldn’t really notice if the few hard-won rights that women have gained were to be stolen from them. Women are still viewed as some kind of distracting sideshow or novelty act, not half of society, and half of the species. Surely the ease with which women’s rights have been given away is all the evidence you need to show how unimportant women remain in our society. And they have the nerve to call this progressive.
It comes down to good old male entitlement taking advantage of the female socialization that encourages them to serve others at to the detriment of their own needs. TiMs needs are all that matter, and rules don’t apply to them; the cost to women is of no concern, so long as TiMs have their way. How much more entitled than that can you get? Women are supposed to just shut up and be the TiMs’ own, personal human shields. Those who refuse to follow this script are legitimate targets for punishment. This basic contradiction of TiMs supposedly fleeing the same violence from which women are trying to protect themselves is never addressed. Nor is the fact that Self ID is such a clear danger to women because it is an open invitation for opportunistic predators. Because there is no way to distinguish between predatory males and perfectly harmless TiMs, the only logical course of action for women is to keep all men out. This cannot stand, because it denies TiMs what they want. Admitting this is the thin edge of the wedge that keeps TiMs out of women’s facilities, so don’t let anyone mention it at all; stick to forcing women (and everyone else) to accept the lie that TWAW. Anything else is unthinkable and unacceptable.
Besides, as far as male violence is concerned, it’s all women’s fault. Those men that TiMs are trying to escape? They’re violent because they all read feminist critiques of trans ideology, and follow JKR.
*Magic gender feels mean that TiM’s aren’t actually male, and are perfectly harmless. TWAW. End of argument. NO DEBATE. NOT LETTING US INTO YOUR TOILETS MEANS YOU WANT US ALL KILLED! Appeals are made to their unique “marginalization,” and “vulnerability,” which only works if you accept that men can become women, which is why it is so vital to suppress the truth that they can’t. Simply mentioning basic facts is “transphobic.” That TiMs’ own intrusion into women’s spaces is evidence of women’s need for single sex spaces is the reason why the whole idea of “sex” has to be discarded in favour of “gender identity.” The fact that they have succeeded to the degree that they have is frightening and mind boggling. It is a nightmare scenario made real.
Five women were murdered*, and many more were injured in a shopping mall by a possibly mentally ill white Australian male with a knife.
Outcome: “We must do something, perhaps a Royal Commission or another form of inquiry so we can figure out while all the previous enquiries have failed but that will buy us some time while we kick the can a bit further down the road because we wouldn’t want to be seen doing anything that the shock jocks might label as too hasty and not thought through and divisive at a time when we need national unity.”
One Xtian priest is attacked by a knife-wielding possibly mentally ill Muslim youth. Priest suffers minor injuries. Hundreds of adherents of that church are summoned, riot, damage numerous Police cars and put some Police Officers in fear for their safety.
Outcome: The National Security Council called to an urgent session. Over 800 Police and security agents stage multiple raids and arrest five Muslim teens on suspicion of plotting terror attacks.
Meanwhile, about every four days, a woman is murdered by a current or former intimate partner.
Outcome: The politicians who have the power to legislate greater protections and harsher punishments join marches that are protesting politicians who have the power to legislate greater protections and harsher punishments for failure to do so.
Women do not need marches, they need action.
* Even those who believe TWAW agree that this attack was an attack aimed directly at women, the attacker avoiding even the most vulnerable male so he could hasten to the next woman.
I must also add to the above that when women marched, for the Squiilionth time to ask men to please not murder them, way back in the dim, dark ages of 2021, Australia’s Prime Minister of the time, Scott “God wanted me to be Prime Minister” Morrison stood up in Parliament, and in reference to the women marching a few hundred metres away stated, “not far from here such marches, even now, are being met with bullets.” Christian love and compassion in action.
This is the man who also failed to show any compassion or concern for a young woman raped in an office just a few doors down from his own until his wife asked him to think about his own two daughters. Yes, a father of two girls with no empathy of his own until instructed by his wife!

Yes. They just excise themselves from the category “men.”
Point out either: 1) some “trans women” have committed violence, or, 2) destroying same-sex spaces makes things easier for non-trans-identified predators, too, and you’ll hear that
● It doesn’t happen that often! You’re cherry-picking!
● Well if a bad guy wants to assault someone, he won’t be stopped by your stinkin’ rules!
And my personal favorite:
● You’re letting The Patriarchy divide Us! I need not point out that the “us”, of course, begs the central question.
