In response to the maniacal violent scenes
This is interesting. Women were not permitted to speak, with the result that more women are speaking, and so are men. The bullies scored an own goal.

The truth will out.
In the ‘stopped clock is right twice a day’ category, that particular group is contacted via a freedomvillage.nz email. When you go to the website it’s for a company selling tiny houses and setting up tiny house villages. Cool you think, until you see that they gained their inspiration from attending the Camp Freedom anti-everything protest outside Parliament. That weird grab bag of anti-covid, anti-government, anti-white, anti-black, sov-cit, conspiracy mashup. Even a lot of the photos on the website are from that site. No mention that they turned absolutely feral to anyone outside their group and that members publicly said they wanted to hold show trials and execute people.
So yeah, I’ll be keeping an eye out for a group near me I can join or support, but it will not be that one.
Incidentally, from looking at Michelle Uriarau’s twitter feed I found this link

I don’t know who is behind Plainsight, but the articles are credited to individuals and the few I scanned seemed well written, informative, listed sources and evidence they relied on.
More women will be speaking in Belfast on Sunday. I’ll be there, too!
I could wish the name did not include ‘your’, but it is good to see NZ is not dominated by aggressive handmaidens nonetheless.
Yes. Not just my woman, but all women. I have long been unhappy about the French and Spanish terms for wives: “ma femme” and “mi mujer”, literally “my woman” in both cases. I now mostly say “mon épouse” and “mi esposa”.
@ #5,#6:
But that works both ways. I get introduced by my wife as her husband; as in ‘this is my husband, Mr Omar (Khayyam.)’ Similarly I call her ‘my wife’ when introducing her. The use of the possessive case is completely analogous to such terms as ‘my sister,’ ‘my brother,’ etc, etc. What is owned is the relationship, not the person. It is not the same as ‘my car,’ ‘my fishing rod,’ ‘my dog’ or ‘my cat.’
Yes, but it’s not the “my” that I’m objecting to — after all “my husband” is perfectly ordinary. It’s the “woman”. French- and Spanish-speaking don’t usually refer to their husbands as “my man”, but they have separate words: “mon mari”, “mi marido”.
It bugs me too to refer to my wife as “mi mujer”, though I think it’s not common in the Spanish-speaking world outside of Spain. Of course “wife” itself originally meant “woman”, while “woman” derives from the compound “wyfman”, meaning “woman person” (using the original meaning of “man”).
No doubt it will all be greeted with amazement in the bars and cantinas of the world in say, 1,000 years’ time. After all, for a bloke to address another as ‘my man’ implies a feudal relationship, as when lords owned their underlings. A bit of a read through the history books shows that the Norther European serfs and lower orders eventually got heartily sick of it all, and tipped over the whole feudal applecart.
But not on the Iberian peninsula, from where in due course feudalism was exported to Latin America and the Caribbean, to take root there as sequential military dictatorship. It took a while longer to fall there, but it eventually did.
Must have been the climate. ‘Let’s overthrow the bastards, but manana.‘
I understood “Stand by Your Woman” as a play on the Tammy Wynette song “Stand By Your Man”…the lyrics of which are of course deeply irritating.
I like the description of “natural woman” a lot better than ciswoman.
