WAKE UP : PUSSY RIOT IS NOT ALL FEMALE OR FEMINIST
Anyone else smell a male-created conspiracy?
Every single media article I read describes Pussy Riot as an “all-female” “feminist” group.
All Female. Feminist.
But is either of these statements TRUE?
Thanks to this article from the Radical Hub, we all now know that Pussy Riot is not even remotely feminist: the group is an offshoot of Voina – a male-run, male-ideal serving, misogynistic manarchist group that has routinely exploited its female members via a series of pornsick stunts since 2006.
And since three sacrificial lambs young women are currently sitting very vulnerably in jail, while every man affiliated with the group has gotten off scot free, it’s becoming clear that Pussy Riot is just another male-created manarchist group project that exploits/sacrifices its female members.
Because frankly, anyone with eyes and a brain who looks closely at all of the pictures and videos of Pussy Riot currently freely available online, can see that at least two (and possibly three) members of Pussy Riot could very easily be males wearing dresses and breast padding.

Maria Alyokhina, clearly not represented in the photoshoot image above
Look at all the high-resolution, full size images of the above photoshoot here:

Note the deep and defined Adams Apple crevice just below the blue balaclava of the “woman” in the yellow dress.
And now please watch this off-putting, downright strange video of Pyotr Verzilov in May 2012, smugly profiting from his wife’s arrest.
Look at his body. Look at his face. Listen to the creepy things he says, and the odd way he says them.
AND LOOK AT THE SHORT VIDEOS HE SHARES OF PUSSY RIOT STUNTS. YOU CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THEM ARE DUDES!!!
And finally, some pictures of the slim, feminine Pyotr:
This whole thing stinks.
To quote some insightful comments on the Radical Hub piece:
https://radicalhub.com/2012/08/20/pussy-riot-whose-freedom-whose-riot/#comment-9331
we can all look at the videos and make up our own minds about whether some or all of the instrumentalists in Pussy Riot are men. If this is true, it adds a whole new level of appropriation and exploitation and brings in a long history in the music world of using impostors, such as the Monkees starting out not playing their own instruments, Ashlee Simpson not really singing on stage, Milli Vanilli, the woman “singer” on the “OPP” video, and many other examples of lying to the public in ways that are more or less forgiveable and often involve exploitation of young people who don’t have the power to stop what’s going on. But this adds one more dimension: by calling themselves “a feminist band” they are laughing at and appropriating the hard-won credibility of bands like riot grrls as well as the work of feminist artists generally. This isn’t performance art or irony, it’s plain old sleaze.

Men dress up as women for all sorts of reasons, don’t they.
Sometimes it’s because they prefer peeing in women’s bathrooms rather than men’s; other times it’s so that they can wheel out their wives when the time comes for the police to make arrests.

Men are Shit
Yet another story about men abusing their power – and we’ve all read this story a thousand times before – allows us to scream that MEN ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY SHIT.
They are clearly incapable of NOT abusing their power.
We must strip them all of all their power and responsibility, immediately.

I am a straight woman and I am from Australia. I stand in solidarity with Cathy Brennan.
As usual, transactivists look ridiculously ignorant, stupid, immature and delusionally self-righteous. They seem to have no idea how inappropriate their behaviour is.
If only transactivists knew that women like me – women with no previous experience, bias or opinions on transgender issues – who, having witnessed their atrocious treatment of lesbians and radical feminists, have had no choice but to refuse support for their causes, due to behaviour like this.
More love and support for Cathy Brennan: https://smart-sauce.tumblr.com/post/25847138943/i-support-cathy-brennan

Gina Rinehart Media Hatefest
Just a quick post:
If Gina Rinehart was a man, would anyone care?
Yeah, she’s greedy and power-hungry. So is everyone else in the business world. The Fairfax board of directors is a bunch of commercial cronies anyway.
And it’s not like the media has treated her fairly – If I was her, I would take over the companies that were portraying me as a fat ugly hag, too.
I think many old cats are chagrined that a single, middle-aged woman has been so incredibly successful in such a short amount of time.
I hope her Fairfax takeover is her no-nonsense, triumphant way of saying “eat me”.

Sheila Jeffreys replies to bogus transactivist concern troll on the Guardian
I am so sick of the oppression & aggressive silencing of radical feminists by transactivists and their misguided supporters.
I am so sick of radical feminists being called hateful and transphobic for daring to question a movement that, at its least harmful, does not make sense.
Recently, a Male-to-Trans activist called Roz Kaveney wrote a deliberately misleading article on the comment is free section of the Guardian. Naturally, a bunch of transactivists showed up to troll the comments section and silence or drown out anyone who opposed what was clearly nothing more than transactivist propaganda.
Dissenting opinions that were silenced or drowned out include:

Well done to Sheila Jeffreys for responding publicly to yet more emotionally-charged slanderous nonsense from the transactivist camp.
Her response is below:
From here: https://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/29/transgenderism-hate-speech
Criticism of the practice of transgenderism is being censored as a result of a campaign of vilification by transgender activists of anyone who does not accept the new orthodoxy on this issue. A recent Comment is free piece by the transgender activist Roz Kaveney, headlined “Radical feminists are acting like a cult”, criticises a forthcoming radical feminist conference, at which I was to be a speaker, on the grounds that I and “my supporters” may be guilty of “hate speech” for our political criticism of this practice.
Though Kaveney’s comments about me are comparatively mild in tone, the campaign by transgender activists in general is anything but. This particular campaign persuaded Conway Hall, the conference venue, to ban me from speaking on the grounds that I “foster hatred” and “actively discriminate”. On being asked to account for this, Conway Hall appeared to compare me to “David Irving the holocaust denier”. The proffered evidence consists of quotes from me arguing that transgender surgery should be considered a human rights violation – hardly evidence of hate speech.
For several years there has been a concerted campaign via the internet and on the ground, to ensure that I, and any other persons who have criticised transgenderism, from any academic discipline, are not given opportunities to speak in public. I have not yet spoken in public about transgenderism, but do speak about religion and women’s human rights, about pornography, and about beauty practices.
Whatever the topic of my presentation, and whether in Australia, the UK or the US, transgender activists bombard the organising group and the venue with emails accusing me of transhate, transphobia, hate speech, and seek to have me banned. On blogs, Facebook and Twitter they accuse me of wanting to “eliminate” transgendered persons, and they wish me dead. One activist has created an image of a pesticide can bearing a photo of me and the slogan “kills rad fems instantly”. These activists threaten demonstrations and placards against me at any venue where I speak.
What is clear is that transgender activists do not want any criticism of the practice to be made. They do not just target me, but the few other feminists who have ever been critical. Germaine Greer was glitterbombed, a practice that can be seen as assault and can endanger eyesight, in Sydney this year, though it is many years since she said anything critical of transgenderism.
Psychiatrists and sexologists who are critical of the practice are targeted too. Transgender activism was successful in gaining the cancellation of a London conference entitled Transgender: Time for Change, organised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ lesbian and gay special interest group for May 2011. When, in 2003, US sexologist Michael Bailey published a book, The Man Who Would Be Queen, which argued that transgenderism was a practice based on sexual fetishism, he became subject to a campaign of vilification, which included placing photographs of his children on a website with insulting captions. The effect is to scare off any researchers from touching the topic.
There are many aspects of the practice which bear investigation, including the history and social construction of the idea of transgenderism, the recent increased identification of children as transgender, the phenomenon of transgender regrets, that is those persons who consider they have made a mistake. Given that the drug and surgical treatments have now been normalised and are increasingly embarked upon by young lesbians and sought out by parents for young children, it is most important that the rights of researchers and theorists to comment and investigate should be protected.
Instead, they are subjected to determined campaigns of bullying, intimidation and attempts to shut them down. The degree of vituperation and the energy expended by the activists may suggest that they fear the practice of transgenderism could justifiably be subjected to criticism, and might not stand up to rigorous research and debate, if critics were allowed to speak out.
