@TheatreSpoonie It’s about the most important thing there is - setting the boundaries. All those things you mention are incredibly important but ultimately difficult to move forward on if woman includes deluded men.

@windupgemma @JanSammyLoki @david_darlo7 @itsafrogslife What not true? That the earth isn’t an oblate sphere or that most men run faster than most women? Both are equally true. Here’s the data for fastest speeds for 1500m by sex. I think you’ll find I’m far from a male supremacist, just a sex realist.

@windupgemma @JanSammyLoki @david_darlo7 @itsafrogslife Seemingly we do have to pander to inadequate men’s egos though. The fact that most men can run faster than most women is an empirical fact not an ideology. You sound like a flat earther saying that the earth being an oblate sphere is ideological.

@TedTalksDrag Yes, and I’m sure the man from the Co-op will be regretting his decision in the very near future.

@CorinthJax @Kat_Says_Stuff For someone so concerned with my independent thinking, you seem to be limited to the stilted language of tribal obedience. Anyhow, isn’t Pride supposed to be a protest? Either way do YOU think it’s acceptable to protest women talking about issues related to them & them only?

@mrzxvf92zn @OliveZaytoun Does Chesney Hawkes know what’s being expected of him?

@CorinthJax @Kat_Says_Stuff Does your mum know that you’re using your phone in bed?

@Kat_Says_Stuff @ephemeropteran Who’s they? What trans rights? This is absurd tin hat nonsense. I lived through section 28. I never dreamt that we’d get so far with gay rights. The only danger to them now is from the crowd who insist that gender is separate to, and trumps sex.

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@Kat_Says_Stuff @ephemeropteran You can’t be left wing and believe that women’s hard fought for rights should be sacrificed to appease the patriarchal notion that people can change sex or that womenhood is a thought in someone’s head.

@Kat_Says_Stuff @ephemeropteran What does that even mean? You think my name’s Alison or Alex? Or you think I’m AI? Can you not at least have a go at engaging with the subject before throwing this nonsense around?

@Kat_Says_Stuff @ephemeropteran I’m a lefty atheist who despairs at the complete inability of large chunks of the populace to think critically and come up with valid arguments, before resorting to threats.I have no time for TR, but if his views don’t stray into illegality I would defend his right to say them.

@Kat_Says_Stuff @Snuckygargamel ‘cos of the bullies, you mean?

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@ephemeropteran @Kat_Says_Stuff I didn’t use the phrase “free speech” I used the phrase legally held beliefs. So where would you draw the line at which someone should not be able to express their legally held beliefs, and why?

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@Snuckygargamel @Kat_Says_Stuff So where do you think we should draw the line on free speech? What’s the acceptable point to which somebody shouldn’t be free to peacefully express their legally held beliefs?

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@CorinthJax @Kat_Says_Stuff You sound a little unhinged. So people shouldn’t go to events to peacefully challenge the beliefs of others? But, are you okay with these guys I guess?

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@Snuckygargamel @Kat_Says_Stuff So you’re saying we should just cede free speech to those with the weakest arguments and the biggest fists. Sounds a bit shit.

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@Kat_Says_Stuff This makes no sense. Who’s the protester in your reply - the people attending Pride or the chap with the boards? If it’s the chap with the boards, what’s the difference between him and the bloke who disrupted the FWS event at Holyrood?

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@itsafrogslife Ah, the “you made me do it” defence. Everyone should be prepared to have their beliefs tested, without exception, and without the need to resort to violence. Weak arguments and even weaker minds are a dangerous combination and seemingly inevitable on one side of this argument.

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@Kat_Says_Stuff The video is there for all to see. He didn’t do anything to interfere with the parade or have any form of amplification to drown out others. Unlike this chap, who the police protected.

[Play the ball @Uce9k]

@itsafrogslife Then those people who are unable to control themselves in public when someone disagrees with them should feel the full force of the law. There is no level of hurty words that can justify physical violence. People should not be cowed by thugs. Co-op guy should have walked on by.
