Thank you for this. In Australia and New Zealand this past week, women have been subjected to violence and extraordinary levels of hatred for trying to talk about same sex rights. Unfortunately nazis turned up in Melbourne where Posie Parker gathered women to have their say ("let Women Speak") and so ensued an almost masturbatory dishonesty by left wing men, who jumped on the opportunity to dishonestly associate these women with angry nazi men who'd turned up, head to toe in black. No matter the nazis were open about their hatred of feminists as well as trans people.

Most unedifying is the left wing premier of the state, Dan Andrews, joining in on social media and legacy media denouncing women as nazis for speaking up about being a woman. The hatred towards women is palpable. Things were worse in New Zealand where gleeful men resorted to violence and as such women didn't get to say anything, they were silenced.

There are always going to be thugs, I get that, but watching left wing male commentators with considerable platforms pile on and celebrate this violence and shutting down of women with opinions they don't agree with, has been shocking. I've been left wing all my life and have come to the conclusion left wing men are more misogynistic than any, probably because up until now, they've had to hide it, and pretend to go along with MeToo. They certainly aren't hiding it any longer and the zeal with which they are currently celebrating violence against the women they disagree with has to be seen to be believed. After the events of this weekend no one will ever convince me that trans ideology isn't a place holder for deep seated misogyny.

Yep, I've been following that story in the news. The idea that Nazis turned up at a rally in support of a women's rights event is absolutely hilarious. But sadly, the people claiming it have never cared much about the truth.

And lest it be forgotten, when men have previously turned up at these events dressed head to toe in black, they were TRAs.

We're witnessing the takeover of the political left. Just as, to be fair, the LGBT community has been taken over by a group of ideologue extremists.

Exactly. But when you have the state premier, Dan Andrews, a leader and one of the most powerful politicians in the country, generally regarded as having integrity, and tweeting the lie to his 439.5K followers (link below), it's somewhat less hilarious. I agree there is a takeover of the left by extremists, I just didn't realise it was happening at the very highest levels of power.
