From WoManchester to ManMadchester
Where misogynists gather in the presence of Emmeline Pankhurst's statue
Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the Women's Social and Political Union, The Suffragettes, was born in Moss Side, Manchester in 1858. She founded the WSPU there in 1903. Her statue, officially named Rise Up Women was unveiled in St Peter's Square in 2018. It is placed in the middle of The Meeting Circle, in a square close to where the Peterloo Massacre took place in 1819. Over 400 people were injured and 18 killed for the crime of attending a meeting where speeches were made to demand political reform, when the cavalry charged into the crowd. The campaign that fought for Pankhurst's statue was called WoManchester. What better place for a group organised by Standing for Women to meet, to discuss political issues relevant to women's lives today…you'd think!
On the 24th March this year, Women's Place UK held a meeting called, A Woman's Place is in Manchester, to discuss the importance and future of single sex provision in policy and law. The name of venue had to be kept from attendees until late in the day because a group lead by men's rights activists, thought a woman's place in Manchester was dependent on toeing the line on trans ideology. The rest were fair game to be attacked and intimidated. The local press however sided with the Tran Cavalry:

This ManMadchester article was penned by Adam Maidment for the Manchester Evening News…just realised his name is an anagram of amid men mad at…women obviously lol. And he certainly was. They were SO mad that the GMP Tactical Aid had to be sent in to dispurse the crowd heckling and trying to intimate the women gathered at the Friend's Meeting House.
Trans Rise Up met under the eye of Rise Up Women to rise up against women…honestly I am not making any of this up. Not even the anagram.
As Standing For Women, prepare to stand up for women, who do you think are preparing to stand up against women?
Yep. You guessed right

He has blocked me since I retweeted his call to arms to the police and council. Perhaps you would like to block him back.
This reminds me of the crazed shrink divorce affidavit! I see a strong link between the demonizing "professional's" boilerplate written testimony, submitted in my 1990s divorce, in which I was accused of being obsessed with "punishing defendant for 'her' choices" simultaneously claiming I was irrationally unreasonable-- "plaintiff was aware of her husband's diagnosis and desire to live as female." The PhD "sexologist" made the diagnosis in one appointment on 20 July 1993--- actually, I only learned of the existence of this "doctor" in late March, 1995. Therefore, I'm a bad wife, a selfish mother and generally deserve cancellation~ More details at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com! Thanks, Lesley!
