My SJW daughter is now coming round to the idea that this ideology may actually be harmful to Women. She said, and I quote "I've been trying for over a year to become a Mother, and when I eventually do, they're going to try and take the title away from me. Well fuck that, no way, they're not getting away with it" ... who 'they' are that she's referencing isn't clear, but I think deep down she knows who THEY are. The tide is turning finally!! 👏👏👏

While stomach-churning, this is an important read, and I am grateful you have put it together for all of us to share with others.

I really needed to read this today. It’s been nearly a year fighting Australia’s wreckless national breastfeeding organisation as it throws its doors wide open to these unstable men pretending to being breastfeeding mothers and expels anyone that tries to stop them.

Aah the Guardian; once it fought for human rights, now it fights for the rights of porn-addicted misogynists & paedophiles to reduce women to little more than blow-up dolls.

John Edward Taylor would be so proud.

One of the most primal words that we all share in some form or another... Mother. It must be like bitter ashes in their throat to even say it. Sadly nothing that these crazed lunatics get up to these days is surprising anymore, and perhaps that is the most insidious aspect of it.

Thanks for the read this after breakfast warning. Thank you Genevieve and StillTish.

We know that pregnancy is a dangerous time for women because their male partners or relatives can get jealous and lacking the attention they want apparently makes them violent. Dynamics can shift. It is a known point where domestic abuse begins or escalates. Many pregnant women and mothers of babies and small children are at risk and need the use of safe spaces and shelter. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MEN? WHAT ABOUT ME ME ME? What about the egos of the grown adult men who are having to adjust. Men abuse and kill women and their children when trying to escape this. Because leaving domestic abuse and coercive and controlling men is also a time of heightened risk. Anything that doesn't centre the man and his needs. Wider communities and families are still not understanding any of this. This is why we still need refuges and safe spaces and places. Sanctuary.

The more time that passes, the more this feels just like all the same old, same old. I once met a men's rights activist who had a bunch of ludicrous stats on how many women kill their partners. His visceral anger at his ex partner 'getting his kid' and his inability to see how he came across to me a complete stranger. It was instructive meeting him. I had to sit next to him in a workshop, but he revealed that he 'knew' me from around the town we live in. He'd worked in security and on the tills in shops and had seen me walk past over a number of years, or out and about, and therefore 'knew me'. He knew where I shopped. It was creepy. He was that type of unaware, verging on delusional and with the self-reinforcing fantasies that many men seem to comfort themselves with. Some women do this too, like Zoe Williams. How common is this twisted and warped male or misogynistic perception? They are the masters of the universe and they treat us like prey. That any violence towards women is deserved and she and we must have been nagging and asking for it.

This behaviour I see as the same. The sudden declaration or 'revelation of his true self' that a man identifies as a woman at that point in a woman's life is the same mess of envy, control, instability and inability to look outside of yourself and to the needs of others. I want, so I must have and own. If I can't have I must destroy. How is that any different from this bunch colonising our every experience? And not centering them is literal violence?

Pregnancy is just stuffing some plastic object up a hole to squeeze it out is it? And people - some men - are unable to separate this sexual fetish and pleasure from the act of carrying and giving birth? Then feeding and nurturing that child? There will be a snake oil salesman out there to sell us anything we can imagine or desire. Why are we pandering to this?

Reminds me and straight back to Mridul and the provision of safe spaces for vulnerable women and girls - this is the inability to distinguish male sexual violence and control from female pain or pleasure. And in a Rape Crisis Centre and travelling the UK to 'teach' communities about this. As some kind of expert. It's all the same to him. He shows his maleness through his public comments, let alone his actions, behaviour and inability to understand why. How is his demand to have women 'retrained' not yet more dominance and control. I don't want to imagine being a young mum going online as she needs help and support and facing this. Think of the men, as always, we must think of the men. Can we all do a check, is any man feeling some moment of doubt that this is all and always about him and his needs? Can't have that now can we?

Once the nausea passed, anger replaced this very quickly. Anger at other women, condoning this, and giving a helping hand in making us wither away, to what ? Pander to fetishists mimicking birth and feeding babies ?

Where did we go so wrong ?

How did this type of abomination become acceptable to those hashtag be kind types ?

The T can’t disappear from the LGB T, quick enough, this is not my world.

rant over 😞

Paedophiles.

Thank goodness I read this before eating. I thought the faux pregnancy dude was sick enough, but seeing these disgusting creeps using hormones to force lactation to wank off is truly the most vomit inducing fetish I’ve seen. I recall seeing an article or a Twitter piece about a MTF who used hormones to actually breast feed a baby. I was disturbed by the fetish and furious at any medical professionals encouraging or condoning this practice. Pity that poor sweet baby, being fed a diet of synthetic hormones so a man can get some sick orgasmic thrill out of pretending to be a woman. That anyone could view that as anything other than gross child abuse and pedophilia is beyond me. Fucking criminal!

To be a young mother-to-be in 2021 must feel like walking through a minefield. Enough! Time for kink-shaming to make a comeback. Push this all the way back to the rock from under which it crawled. Nasty, fetid nonsense.

These men treat the world and all around them like their own great big sexual playground and people like Zoe Williams are little more than puppets.

Jeez, a hard read but a necessary one. Looks like some men will fetishise anything and see nothing wrong or shameful about it ☹️

I feel sick, almost paralysed with revulsion...and an anger that is a TSUNAMI....spreading throughout me! I want to shout and scream and rage...and I want to confront all these sinisterly sick, mentally deranged humans who are allowing ANY of this to happen.

Thank you for highlight all these horrors... #WomenWontWheesht!

I’m sorry, this is the first post I couldn’t read. The sexualisation of babies actually makes me physically sick. I can’t read it, I just can’t.
