For other folks for whom gender
Meghan Murphy on the NDP Women’s Committee’s suicide and the usurpers’ efforts to shut up the women who object:
The BC NDP Women’s Rights Committee deleted their initial post celebrating their decision to make the group inclusive of men, claiming the push back from women was “hateful” and that the comments were coming from “right wing trolls,” when in fact they were from feminist, left wing women who were not hateful at all, but simply angry. The lack of accountability and integrity is astounding. At what point will the BC NDP take women seriously?! The party is losing votes and losing women. One would think they would care…
Facebook, by the way, appears to be hiding Meghan’s post. I couldn’t find it by going to her wall, I had to Google it. Shut up, women!
What a strange and brainless thing to be proud of – changing a women’s committee into a committee for everyone. (Everyone? Yes. “Folks for whom gender has been cause of their discrimination and lack of safety” is woolly and sloppy and dopy enough to apply to literally everyone.) Women are still a subordinated subset of the population and thus still need to gather and organize as that subset. No one should be telling women to help other subordinated subsets at the expense of retaining their own groups and committees, especially since this expectation and demand that women put aside their own concerns to take care of others is one of the pillars of that very subordination.
The comments on Meghan’s post are all about commenting on the BC NDP Women’s Committee post and seeing the comments instantly removed. Shut up women!
But they’re telling themselves all the dissenting comments are from trolls south of the border.

I believe Morgane Oger (or someone with the same style of haircut and glasses) is visible in the upper left corner, embracing someone. How happy Morgane must be! Much Validation! Lots Affirmation!! Very Compliance!!!
Obedience acheived.
Oh, yes, that does look like Oger. And it would be quite surprising if he hadn’t been there, actually, since he’s such a BNP “activist.”
Good spot.
Yeah, that is Oger. He is a VP of the Provincial NDP.
It is somewhat difficult to convey how deranged the BC NDP are. You support measures like health care, fair employment, and somehow you find yourself looking at lunacy. The relationship between the the BC Liberals and the NDP is akin to forest fire – a healthy forest actually needs one from time to time to truly flourish, otherwise the undergrowth dominates.
@Naif – a sort of woke nuttiness seems to be infecting Social Democrat parties of late. Cf Labour in the UK.
So people are welcome on the basis of their pronoun choice alone?
It really ought to be possible for an overlap between the interests of sex/gender minorities in general. But the rampant narcissism of ‘intersectionality’ works as a kind of movement imperialism, in which every subject and cause must be warped to celebrate MEEEEE.
“Women are still a subordinated subset of the population and thus still need to gather and organize as that subset.”
Maybe the plan is to advise women that they can simply identify their way out of such treatment??
“However, almost all of the comments that were negative were from right wing trolls from USA.”
Hm. How was this known? As far as I am aware, Facebook only grants very basic visitor information to page owners. My guess is just like with other cults, lying is fine if it advances the cause. In this case, by fuelling their martyr complex.
I think in some cases it must have been via information people gave on their walls. I wondered the same thing yesterday and then read some of the comments and saw the person or people speaking for the group ask “why does this concern you in Illinois” or [insert state here]. But they said it to only a couple of people that I saw, and plenty of the comments were CLEARLY from people in BC, so I think that “almost all” was a big lie.
