A TiM is asked to speak out at an event commemorating the deaths of those fifteen women who were killed because they were women who dared to exist as human beings, something this man will never have to live in fear of and has no right speaking about. The audacity of both him and whatever group arranged this astounds me. Truly.
P.E.I trans woman to speak at Montreal Massacre memorial service | CBC News
And women are told to consider every other group of people and every possible subcategory of women rather than focusing on the fact that this was a massacre caused by misogyny. It dilutes the importance of the event and causes division where there should be none.
The way in which women of colour, bisexual and homosexual women, poor women, and mentally and physically disabled women are targeted specifically is important to feminism. Intersectionality is important to feminism. But this does not strike me as a means of incorporating these groups in discussion but as a means of weakening female class consciousness. Yes, I’m mad.
Speaker raises uncomfortable question at Montreal Massacre vigil
I actually cannot believe the shameless hijacking of this memorial for the female victims of a misogynistic murderer:
“Would we be here today if those women had been Indigenous? What if they were trans women? Or women who worked on the streets or had mental health or addictions issues? […] It’s not us against them. Man against woman. It’s those binaries that hurt us all,” she said.
“It is the systemic fabric of inequalities that fuels desperation and a lack of hope that leads people to violence.”
She advised everyone to ask people what their pronouns are and use them, and don’t assume about gender, sexuality, identity or intentions, she said.
I honestly have no words for how sickening it is to see these murdered women be used as props for the ‘which murdered women get more press’ popularity contest, especially when it’s just being used as a precursor to fucking pronoun etiquette.
prev tagsssss
“It’s not us against them. Man against woman”
Like what the actual fuck? It was? A man against women??? Who specifically let male classmates go. Who was an anti feminist who hated women specifically and killed them because he hated them and their perceived “taking of a man’s rightful place.”
Trans woman speaker gleefully blurs and erasures the sexism and anti feminist reasonings of the male shooter to instead make academic attempts at gotchas by playing whataboutism.
Like these women were murdered. They mattered!! Don’t fucking dismiss them and be a whole ass white male trying to pretend these women only are cared about because they were white like jesus fucking christ. Women were murdered for being female for being at this school. Talk about them not about your own narcissism Or whataboutism
Lepine went on his killing spree because he was bored and he hated women. He was clear on those two points.
“… I have decided to send the feminists, who have always ruined my life, to their Maker. For seven years life has brought me no joy and being totally blasé, I have decided to put an end to those viragos.”
And this TIM dares say that it’s a ’..systemic fabric of inequalities that fuels desperation and a lack of hope that leads people to violence.’
So I guess he empathises with Lepine and believes that women need to shut up and let men rape them so they don’t get blasé and become violent.
Whatever jackass greenlit having this man speak at the memorial for these women needs to be fired, re-hired, then fired again then made to write “I must not promote misogynistic men during memorials for murdered women” 100 times on a blackboard.
(re)adding my comments to this reblog train because I want to add receipts for the speaker’s utter misogyny
The way they went on and on about “gender based violence” and “pronouns”. No, it’s SEX based violence.
She advised everyone to ask people what their pronouns are and use them, and don’t assume about gender, sexuality, identity or intentions, she said
When the men all filed outside of the engineering classroom at the shooter’s request, do you think the women asked to remain inside could have gone “I don’t identify as a woman” or “sorry, I know you hate women but I’m a nonbinary transmasc so I should be allowed to leave”? Do you think the shooter checked his cissexism and made sure to ask the men as they filed out if they were closeted transwomen so they could be subject to his gender based violence? Do you think the shooter asked for these women’s pronouns or gender identity before he massacred them? When he roamed throughout campus, gunning down women, did he decide who to target based on pronoun pins? How did the shooter know who was a woman and who was a man by looking at them? Because you can’t tell someone’s GENDER from looking at them, can you? You have to ask for someone’s gender. The shooter didn’t ask for anyone’s gender because the attack WASN’T ABOUT GENDER.
What a disgusting way to hijack an act of terrorism against the female SEX and insert yourself inappropriately. He killed those women because they were people of the female SEX who dared to study engineering, and that made them evil feminists who had to die because he was a disgusting and violent misogynist, not because of harmful “binaries” or “lack of hope”.
But yes, let’s spend this time not commemorating these dead women, let’s talk about pronouns! Because dead cis girls are useful fodder to remind you about transwomen’s struggles, even at their OWN FUCKING MEMORIAL.
Oh and of course! Bonus points for the speaker posting this on their Twitter (a transgirl holding a NERF gun, because NERFs for TERFs)
Love that a mass shooting by an “AMAB” person of “cis” women for being “feminists” was commemorated by an “AMAB” person who fantasizes about shooting “cis” women for being feminists. But the latter is brave and a feminist! And the former is an evil misogynist. No connection whatsoever!
Misogyny all the way down.
