Approaching from behind

Mr Menno is paying attention.

If you’re going to go wrestling the police it seems kind of stupid to wear a short tight skirt and high-heeled shoes with no backs. Jeans and trainers next time.

    From the video in tweet #5 we get the quote “…Now, I went to tell her, or that thing, that they are not welcome here.” Blatant dehumanisation for the crime of being a woman while speaking about being a woman.

    Nnnno I don’t think so – what I heard was “I went to tell her that thing” – meaning, that thing she (Thorp) had just said.

    She carried an Aboriginal flag, wore a matching T-shirt, and obviously intended to cause a ruckus with the intention of claiming racism on the part of the Let Women Speak organisers.

    The daft thing is that she would have been allowed to speak if she had simply asked and waited politely for her turn. It’s a free speech event.

    Well, then tigger, it wouldn’t have made the news.

    SBBS has turned off the comments for the thread. Not sure why.

    I have to agree with Holms’ interpretation. She definitely pauses and then adds “or, that thing!”. She is clearly intending to dehumanise Kelly.

    Ok, I watched it again, and you both appear to be right. That’s how it was captioned, too – the comma after “or.”

    What a horrible person. It’s funny what a poisonous effect this ideology has on people.
