I think it was I was kind, these men taking the piss out of women, you smile, you put up with it, same old, same old. Not any more, this bullshit is hurting young girls and vulnerable women - Not any bloody more. In the past 6 months I have been on my first ever demonstrations, met amazing women from all political persuasions and sexual orientations, all brave and all sisters, all saying enough is a bloody ‘nough.

Women are the only group that gets more radical with age. Can't remember who said this, but it's true.

Yes, I am 89 and am a radical feminist active in Australia!

Oh fantastic Mia! I’m in Australia too and I’ve seen you in a couple of Facebook groups - I really enjoy your comments.

You know, that is true. My mother was an Israel supporter but toward the latter years of her life (she died in 1994), she was changing her mind. She was always open to new ideas, new information.

Me too. Four protests in a year at 77. A Lot to be outraged about at this moment.

Calm down. Drag Queens are not hurting anyone.

"Do I really have to watch Ru Pauls drag race or will this mania pass?"

What an arse, a cowardly hypocritical arse

He seems to have no conviction whatsoever. Obviously he's dressed as a woman plenty for easy laughs. Then he's apologised, then he's done it again in a little Britain reunion and now he's doing a drag show. Bizarre.

He values fame and stupid amounts of money more than his own basic principles. What a miserable person he must be!

I will give him this: Life can be very unpleasant when you are not even minimally physically attractive. I've had some very homely women friends and they will throw women under the bus in a nanosecond.

The trans community seems very fickle about when and why they are offended by drag. I guess like everything else, their compass is more like a weather vane.

A memory lapse, probably, which is useful because he's pretty limited, he must have done everything he was going to do by now on repeat. Maybe the money he's being offered hasn't only affected his memory, it's made his tastes a bit more fluid too.

Oh wow! Great spot! What a hypocrite! It wasn’t even that long ago. He said it as a middle aged man. He’s like Janet Godley and her nasty tweets about black people who’s also got off with no damage to her career.

You should live in the U.S.! (Hmmm, I'm thinking that some of our crap shows are derived from British crap shows.) There is an OCCASIONAL show that is amusing, but even PBS does its best to bore the hell out of viewers with propagandistic documentaries and right-wing talk/news shows.

Clown show for resentful males.

I see drag as woman face. It always makes me feel degraded as a woman. I didn't like Little Britain for its casual racism, sexism, disabledism, homophobia et al. It had a huge cruel streak that made me uncomfortable.

Yes, the whole script was about two white guys taking the piss out of various groups of people that lacked their privelege and a TV contract to bully with

I've always detested womanface just as much as I do blackface. Both are insults to marginalized groups.

Sorry to be off topic but the Guardian reports an alarming increase in incidence of indecent exposure - https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/oct/01/police-log-10000-indecent-exposure-cases-but-fewer-than-600-reach-court = I thought it was transphobic to report these according to the Guardian

The hypocrisy of this newspaper! So The spa flasher was a “woman” who needed protection from Karens complaining he was flashing his dick around but now they are suddenly outraged that women have men exposing their penises. Does girl dyck not count as flashing?

It's probably only phobic if the exposer is a cross-dresser. But by their logic these kinds of cross-dressers are "truly" trans. Whatever that means. 🤷

Interesting isn’t it. Let’s be kind, give him the benefit of doubt, maybe he hasn’t thought this through, or maybe he is just a total tosser.

Here's a link to an horrific summary of how pedophilia & the sexualisation of our children is going mainstream via the drag tag. This is exactly the opposite of the 'Article 28' era that the Wokigarchy try to accuse GC's of doing. This is indoctrination and if we don't nip this in the bud it'll infect us all in one way or another. As he says in the video, 'If Liberals tell you that your child can consent to a sex change, that your child can consent choosing their sexual orientation before kindergarden, what else will Liberals say your child can consent to? Why not ask these people what their sacred chant "Love is Love" actually encompasses?'. I agree that this is all a calculated attempt at smashing our moral compasses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeUfnnZp-vI

(NB: Whilst I am sharing this video of Mark Collett's I do not endorse his BNP/political views in any way. I mentioned to someone yesterday that I'm shocked to discover I now agree with certain views that are obviously also shared with some members of the far right now. - which shocks me to my core. I honestly cannot believe the left are OK to promote & support the normalisation of pedophilia and the sexualisation of young children. It's an agenda I will never endorse and I'm of the opinion that 'silence is tacit consent' on this issue. So I will, in this instance, support sharing this particular message from someone I wouldn't ever agree with normally!).

I watched the video and took his WORDS with a grain of salt. For anyone to call Good Morning America liberal or progressive is an enormous joke. GMA just like the rest of the media in the U.S. is corporate and predatory, staffed with people willing to prostitute themselves for a buck (gee, sounds like Matt Lucas). I think his message has validity, but when one looks at the sexual shenanigans of Republicans (I used to have a long list of men arrested for crimes of a sexual nature) and Republicans in Democratic clothing such as Bill Clinton, one can hardly categorize the normalization of pedophilia as a progressive project. It's a PATRIARCHAL project; in plenty of patriarchal societies it was and still is considered to be perfectly fine to sexually exploit children.

Ooh you have a long list? I just got given a long list of democrats but got banned from sharing it. I wonder if I would get banned here? Here goes..

WHILE YOU WERE BEING DIVERTED BY DR. SEUSS :

While the DEMOCRATS are diverting your attention about Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head...

A list of pedophiles became unsealed and here's what’s been happening while you all were distracted.

I started looking from the bottom up, found one so far. Is it all lies and fabrication or do they have power and influence to cover it up?

Would you not go with the wider message that it's about normalisation? I'm pretty convinced perverts go into politics now. I was a bit disappointed your reply seemed to fear that it was an attack on left or right.. I think they're all at it.

Mr Linehan - sorry I didn't mean to hijack your post. Please delete if it's dangerous for you not to.

For the record I can't stand liberals or progressives, and I have no doubt your list is mostly if not all accurate. Men and some women go into politics for the power and money, and it seems that power goes hand-in-hand with committing sexual crimes for men. It has been said that all porn leads to child porn, and I have come to agree with that.
