Great event last night at the Féille with Allison Morris for the Forgotten Femicide lecture, with Declan, Joanne Dorian and Sonya McMullen from Women’s Aid.

Today at 5 PM

Besides from their repugnant values, they’ve also been exposed as having a very small strategy whose main gain is the modicum of compassion contained within the withering ‘happy to meet in the future’, in other words you’ll come home empty there too, this time without the publicity.

Nothing tells you you have real organic movement on your hands than the patter of explaining internet debate forum fallacies, as if you can just plug and chug your way from having to discern what’s right in front of you.

Me and and my Ma having a good laugh listening to your wan trying to talk down to Allison Morris on toilet predators.

One of the core characteristics of the committed ideological wingnut here: enthusiasm for embarrassing yourself by promoting comically terrible cultural products as if they are great, for their propaganda value.

A real sign that that someone knows what they’re getting into taking on a Belfast festival by invoking that worthy Irish Republican principle: deference to bloodlines.

"What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority" great piece from Allison Morris in the Belfast Telegraph. Please support Allison as she will no doubt be targeted now. Archive link below. archive.ph/oQ2Cs

Those attacking Allison Morris on that platform should be ashamed. No one has publicised the violence northern Irish society subjects women to more tirelessly - and in a male and paramilitary controlled context few outside have the first clue about. Her perspective is entirely rational.

“In fact I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide.” www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/womens-...

Women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority

Far from being silenced, anti-trans views are currently among the most disproportionately platformed — shared by the world’s most powerful men

Batten down the hatches, a sectarian storm is coming.

It gets better! With the perfect distillation of what this politics amounts to. The multiplicity of human pathways has no interest, no nuance; human nature is to blame for giving our administrators a difficulty they could do without. The response must be the permanent dictatorship of simplicity.

Such a weird comment to make. Because, well, no, Féile *isn't* a debate festival. It's an arts and culture festival. People don't want to be constantly "debating" everywhere they go.

So we have male politicians, demanding inclusion based on ‘women discussing their rights’ - not supposing that the other women participating in the festival already have their reasons for not sharing their priorities. Because we all know the members of the ‘sex class’ all think with the one mind.

Minister threatens to pull Féile funding over event cancellation

During the interview, the minister was also asked directly whether he believed someone born biologically male could become a woman

Happy Belfast Pride! I know that she would have been there!

looks more and more a part of the same spectrum. The rioters and pogromists aren’t out to protect women, girls and young men like Henry Novak. This is about their entitlement to rule and enforce their possession of families and communities. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

In reading the Trollathon on Twitter, you can’t help but notice also the functional sexism of treating a group as one concerning the larger group they just happen to be composed from. We wouldn’t accept that criteria for anyone else, why is it different when it comes to ‘women’s rights’?

Widdecombe as a public figure embodied the crudity of the Thatcherite project: trying to gloatingly lecture people into the traditional family model while gleefully destroying the social and economic basis for it.

The most objectionable thing about this project is that it has been given extraordinarily indulgent name of ‘Belfast Stories’. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Belfast Stories: BBC involvement in new attraction put on hold

Sinn Féin said it has "serious concerns about transparency, fairness and governance" of the deal.

England have played a top 10 ranked team in knockouts 7 times since 1998 & lost every time. Coz they are fucking shite. Can't wait for it to happen again in a few years ❤️

Had to turn on the BBC ! The joy hearing their heartbreak.

lol at the sad music montage

The lads all smiling in heaven.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much in my life

These are the nights you live for.

Waaaaaasaaaaaaaa!

Phew. Was almost ready for the rosary beads there.

Bastard.
