This is the crux of the lie: “women are at risk from *these* men.” In reality, women are at risk from any demographic of men. You don’t need to look at a small boat to find a rapist or wife beater. Just walk into your local pub or shop. The issue with male violence is men - not race.
![Pochin, who was elected as the MP for Runcorn & Helsby in May, said: “The inconvenient truth for the left is that the culture of men from predominantly Muslim countries like Afghanistan is one that holds a medieval view of women’s rights.
“Women are at risk of sexual assault and rape from these men; hundreds of young men who arrive in this country, [are] housed in our communities, who undoubtedly become sexually frustrated [and] have a warped view of their right to sexually assault women.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dckjoluraublavhlr4a2lirv/bafkreif22uheykcuyikamktxepdkddf4c2lxpwrzj2ujxhnfa6pwcdbpjm@jpeg)

Transphobes used to say things like 'if you have a vagina, you're a woman, end of discussion' and now they say things like 'if your gametes are diagonally haplodidic and they fall between 0.4 and 0.9 on the Strasburger Faultline, you're a woman, and I really can't be any clearer than that'

countries that function well and are nice places to live in don't have to constantly remind their own citizens that they're living in a great and free country, btw
seeing a lot of "America has lost what made us great" from people who should really be considering that the belief America was ever the best country ever and something for the world to look up to has always been US propaganda and the rest of the world has never really looked up to the US at all

Remember when the pandemic began and everyone started accommodating remote work? Everyone began showing brand new movies and live concerts streaming? Disabled people had been fighting for this for decades. Now it’s all taken away. It’s not that they can’t accommodate us, they just don’t want to.

Another fun memory of when I met Cat Trainer Mohammed was watching people cuddling and stroking the cats! Many travellers missed their stops because they were too busy petting the cats. It was a Cat therapy in a train carriage.

A lot of people cannot grasp that their own personal and individual experience of the world is not universal, and they are totally comfortable showing immense cruelty to those whose experiences diverge from their own. This applies to so many issues that affect vulnerable people & it's a real shame!

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

When I said I would do anything for my family and my country I only meant stuff I already like doing, like shooting guns for instance. If I have to do something annoying like conserve resources then obviously I'm not willing to do that
