Which followed

Aug 25th, 2023 10:00 am | By

Pink News posted that tweet (aka “post”) twice, eight hours ago and one hour ago. Always do your libeling twice, just to be thorough.

Let’s read the article.

The caption under the photo at the top:

A bomb threat, which followed Riley Gaines spreading outrage over a California library’s handling of hate speech, saw the branch and nearby elementary school forced to evacuate.

Lots of things “follow” lots of other things. Correlation does not equal causation.

Subhead:

Anti-trans harassment pedalled on social media by former US college swimmer Riley Gaines has been linked with a bomb threat at a California library. 

They mean “peddled” not “pedalled.” But more to the point, they’re lying about the “anti-trans harassment.” Disputing an … Read the rest

Mugshot has landed, repeat, mugshot has landed.

He’s such an idiot. Clearly the idea is Mister Defiant. You can’t get me, you’re all a bunch of communists, I’ll have your guts for garters, I AM A TOUGH GUY. But he just looks stupid and infantile. A disdainful smirk would have been much more effective, but he’s too stupid to think of it.

Of course, I say stupid, but he may win in the end all the same. This tells us, depressingly, that there are a lot more people who are both stupid and mean than we realized.

Guest post: The whole of a woman takes part

Aug 24th, 2023 3:38 pm | By

Originally a comment by Artymorty on Out of place but possible.

I’m skeptical that a male could carry a fetus to term at all. Ectopic pregnancies in women are still in women. Male and female hormone systems, and even the basic composition of their blood, are fundamentally different to each other. I know very little about the biology of pregnancy, but I don’t have to know much to know that hormones, bloodstream, metabolism, even antibodies… pretty much every system of the female body plays some kind of role throughout gestation. I just can’t see an embryo, even one inside a uterus, plopped into a male body somehow coming out remotely okay, because I’m highly skeptical that male bodies … Read the rest

An inquiry

Aug 24th, 2023 11:27 am | By

Creeping fascism continues its creep.

I don’t mean metaphorically or hyperbolically. This is how it’s done – this perversion of courts and legislative bodies.

House Republicans took aim on Thursday at the Georgia prosecutor bringing a sweeping felony racketeering case against former President Donald J. Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, moving to investigate the woman pursuing the case just hours before Mr. Trump was to be booked at an Atlanta jail.

Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced he was opening an inquiry into Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County, Ga., district attorney, questioning whether she had collaborated with Biden administration officials and targeting any federal funding her

Guest post: Out of place but possible

Aug 24th, 2023 10:34 am | By

Originally a comment by Seanna Watson on Nope.

“Ectopic” technically just means “out of place” – in the case of a pregnancy that means it’s not in the uterus. The most common misplaced location is in the Fallopian tube, since that’s where eggs tend to be. (If untreated, tubal pregnancies are usually fatal to the mother.) But there is also the remote possibility of the egg being fertilized while floating free in the abdomen, and implanting in some random location. Bodies are indeed weird, and the development of the parasitic organism (aka embryo) apparently does not actually require the uterus – it can make its own placenta attached anywhere as long as it can find sufficient connection to do … Read the rest



Even better people

Aug 24th, 2023 10:04 am | By

What looms ahead:

In the interview [with Tucker Carlson], Trump said that his administration was hampered by bad staffing choices — picking a kind of Republican he derisively referred to as “Bushies” for top jobs, citing former Attorney General Bill Barr as an example. This time around, Trump said, that won’t happen: “We’ll have even better people if we do this because now I know Washington.”

There’s every reason to believe he’s serious about this. Reporting by the New York Times’s Jonathan Swan and others has revealed extensive preparations to ensure that, this time around, everyone in power is loyal to him — including brazen power grabs like the mass firing of career civil servants and asserting direct presidential

Etiquette for wankers

Aug 24th, 2023 9:53 am | By

Now remember, kids, always be polite even when in a temper. Don’t ever call a trans woman a wanker, call her a cunt. Be polite I tell you.

The Telegraph elucidates:

Calling a trans woman a ‘w—-r’ is discriminatory because the insult is commonly used in reference to men, an employment tribunal has suggested.

“We suggest you call her a ‘cunt’ instead,” the panel suggested.

The swear word is not a gender-neutral term and so using it against someone who has transitioned would constitute a breach of equality laws, a panel concluded.

To insult a trans woman without being discriminatory, female-specific slurs should be used instead, the tribunal suggested.

What a glorious future awaits us, as all the … Read the rest



Guest post: Misusing the clout

Aug 23rd, 2023 5:21 pm | By

Originally a comment by Rev David Brindley on Suddenly policing feminism.

If your feminism is inclusive of all, then it ain’t feminism.

Caro also retweeted yesterday about a woman she described as courageous, and that was the correct descriptor.

However, she never sees as courageous those women who stand against men’s intrusion in women’s spaces.

Caro has enormous clout and contact in Australia but never uses that to support oppressed women like those in Tasmania and Victoria who are fighting for Lesbian meetings to exclude males, like Sall Grover, who is fighting for her reputation and her business, like Angie Jones who is harassed by politicians for being a Nazi because nazis happened to march past Let Women … Read the rest

Consternation in Trump world

Aug 23rd, 2023 11:44 am | By

Trump’s habit of stiffing the help may come back to bite him.

The multiplying charges brought against allies of former President Trump and their mounting legal fees are creating consternation in Trump world — while presenting a real risk to the former president.

Trump has burned through millions of dollars in donor money to pay for legal fees as he defends himself against charges in New York City, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.

But the former president, who has built a reputation for stiffing workers, has shown no interest in providing financial aid to former aides charged over their efforts to keep him in power. 

As Trump’s aid to allies trickles, some warn failing to take on their

Suddenly policing feminism

Aug 23rd, 2023 11:13 am | By

Sigh.

What is that even supposed to mean? Feminism isn’t “inclusive” – it’s not about men, and it disagrees with women who oppose feminism. No substantive political category can be “inclusive” in some over-arching way because it’s for X and against Y, so bang goes your inclusion.

Being “inclusive” in that broad sense just isn’t the goal, and never has been, and can’t be. I doubt that Caro herself is “inclusive” in that broad sense – we … Read the rest

Pink News of course is ecstatic.

Queer community celebrates Emily Bridges’ ‘sensational’ inclusion on influential British Vogue list

By “inclusion” of course they mean “inclusion” in the category “women.”

The “queer community” celebrates, they tell us – I wonder if the gay community does. Do gay men really want to have sex with trans men? Do they want to be bullied and called names and shunned if they decline to have sex with trans men? Is there a limit to their celebration of inclooosion?

Trans cyclist Emily Bridges has been included in a list of influential women by British Vogue magazine.

Which is stupid and insulting, because he’s a man. It also deprives one woman of a place on that … Read the rest



Trolling feminists was likely part of the point

Aug 23rd, 2023 9:38 am | By

Victoria Smith explains why we have to resist this crap.

At risk of promoting another outburst, I’d suggest that Bridges doesn’t deserve to be on Vogue’s list, either. Much as I’m aware this will lead to charges of being “exclusionary” — indeed, trolling feminists was likely part of the point — I don’t think that we should let these things pass. If it matters that women have power, and that exceptional women are recognised, then it also matters to recognise how and why we need lists like this.

I’ve been thinking “trolling feminists was likely part of the point” myself. First I was thinking “Why do they keep doing this shit???” – “they” being all the news outlets and … Read the rest
