Have regained the use of speech somewhat. May still be slightly truncated and explosive.
The oh so clever Indy headline writer calls feminist women terrible people.
The propagandist who created the image goes for the gut.
The Indy scribbler, Ian O’Dell, pours on the verbal acid.
“Gender critical” activists – some of whom proudly brand themselves a ‘terf’ (short for trans-exclusionary radical feminist) in their Twitter bios – are now upset at the anti-poverty organisation Oxfam for an LGBT+ Pride advert painting ‘terfs’ as evil people.
Misogynist activists – some of whom purport to be journalists – have no qualms about displaying their own glaring throbbing misogyny.
[I]t was an illustration displayed as they spoke of “hate groups” which has caused Oxfam to be subject to a social media pile-on – an illustration which saw three people with red eyes and angry faces towering over six figures in the colours of the rainbow.
Red eyes and distorted twisted evil faces.
The central character, a white woman with short brown hair, is seen wearing an orange badge on her which says ‘terf’ – and those opposed to trans rights are saying the image “demonises” older women.
Notice what the “reporter” carefully doesn’t say – the “white woman with short brown hair” is JK Rowling.
The war on women drags on and on and on.
“Older” “white” “woman” – all groups that the woke despise. To be in all three groups? Totally unacceptable. Anyone with the bad judgment to be in even one of these groups is to be despised – in all three? Zounds!
Being an older white woman myself, I fall in those despised groups, added to being a gender critical (no quotes needed) feminist. Yes, I do wear it proudly. Why? Because I understand biological sex. As for being an older white woman, that is by biological reality, not choice. I happen to be 62, white, and a woman.
Some have suggested that the other two people imaged are Ron Desantis and Andy Ngo.
The style used is reminiscent of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda art. Just purely hateful.
Very reminiscent. That’s what took my breath away – it’s just a new level of open shameless hate-mongering. From a CHARITY ffs.
Can you say “mission creep”? Sure you can.
It is quite common for groups who think it will assist their particular cause to join some established organisation and try to become influential in it, or even take it over; from within. In politics, there is a name for this process: ‘entrism.’ Oxfam would be the last organisation one would expect to be afflicted with such termites. But there you go.
Omar, it doesn’t surprise me. Oxfam has been plagued by scandal for some years now.
