As most of our followers know, Radicailín’s launch last year has been met with baseless accusations and endless lies about our group. To give others a brief introduction, we’re a group of women made up of Irish women and migrant women who believe in material reality and whose main aim is to liberate women from sex-based oppression.
There’s a number of people on Twitter who have made it their goal to publicly smear us and obsess over who follows us and shame them in the process. Irish Women’s Lobby is going through the same treatment we experienced when we first launched simply for daring to organise politically.
Led by middle class feminists, academics and men who seem to think they have the authority to speak for all women and demand that people toe the line, it is condescending to assume that we cannot see through their performative outrage and lack of critical thought.
Did these people ever stop and think why there are a number of grassroots groups forming? Did they ever think perhaps WE didn’t feel represented and that we felt excluded from the clear lack of empathy and analysis?
We didn’t demand for existing groups to change. We simply organised ourselves and found others who shared the same views which are female-focused. We do not wish for any human being to be discriminated against. We simply believe in material reality, the importance of that and the impact it will make if we disregard that.
The very notion of asking for our political disenfranchisement because we believe in biology is anti-women, anti-reality, anti-science and anti-intellectual.
This is why we do not take kindly to the extreme bullying our panelists are getting simply for speaking up for women’s rights.
The harassment from these people is narcissistic in nature. The tantrum and the rage is cheered on or ignored by others because it’s the accepted narrative by those who call themselves “liberal” and “progressive”.
The attempts at silencing and the efforts made for others to submit should not be ignored and dismissed. Misogyny is alive and well hence why Irish Women’s Lobby’s webinar, Speak Up for Women’s Rights is timely and necessary.
Make sure to register before seats run out.
