Just to pre-empt the response you're going to get here: they'll want non-BBC links it'll be disregarded immediately purely because it's BBC.

But...but... but they're just a people watcher. It's innocent.

Moreover I find it interesting that he's accusing me of being ready to fight and then connecting that to a story about another homosexual who he felt was 'ready to fight' ... like why? What do I have to do with this random lesbian couple he once saw?

haha well Livia asked "where is the content from the BBC" and Beso asked for links when I said how they covered it, so beggars can't be choosers

You asked for the content the BBC created for Women;'s History Month and I provided this year's content.

If you want anything else, please Google it.

Ive seeen a few vids and clips of women in parks celebrating women's day on 8th march(My birthday) but they don't look very celebratory as it always ends up with them getting screamed at and hounded by a bunch of men pretending to be women.


I want flags and banners and high street stores jumping in the bandwagon.

Or the MAGA movement

Great post...

Not sure why my post was deleted - the point was if you are sad about the lack of attention a cause you care about is getting but you're doing nothing to CREATE that attention, you have no leg to stand on.

Pride is so big because LGBT people made it so big. Do I hate the corporate side of it? Yes, to a degree absolutely, but the reason it's gotten corporate support it because of a lot of LGBT people creating a movement that got so big commercial entities saw it as potentially commercially beneficial.

If you want funding, if you want flags, if you want attention, if you want column inches, if you want parades, if you want content, literally nothing is stopping you creating it.

This is mostly correct I would add that there are some economic quirks involved though. Basically the reason it's so big - bleak as it is - is because it generates money. The LGBTQ+ community are (statistically) a huge consumer group; they're spenders, for obvious reasons, as the vast majority (not all, but the majority) fall into the categories of "young free and single" or (the real money pot) ... dual-income adult households with no children (i.e. LARGE disposable income potential).

Generally if you want to know why anything becomes big, follow the money. I say that without judgement it just is what it is... if there's profit to be made from something becoming big and publicised, then it will become big and publicised. Brands jumping on Pride do so because the believe it'll be profitable advertising, if they didn't think it would generate profit, they wouldn't.

People simply don't want harassed by other groups for celebrating women's month

Yes everyone passes people while they're in the supermarket Zizu, most of us aren't staring at young women taking mental note of their appearance and style, trying to assess their every gesture, and writing bizarre fantasies in our heads about what they would or wouldn't say/do in response to various situations.

It's extremely unusual behavior and I feel like it's important to say so. Not because I think you'll agree but because this weird sht shouldn't be normalised in the world.

Yes pop back into your bubble with this lot where it's safe Zizu, this feminist over here won't judge you for eyeballing young girls round the supermarket and making wild assumptions about them then posting them up on the internet.

This place is an absolute zoo, I swear.

[Livia]

No one was eyeballing young girls, only in your head, toy soldier boy. You're doing your best to bait and you're failing. Maybe try a different hobby. Maybe read a book or something.

[BBXX]

You're welcome for all that BBC content you were sure didn't exist, Livia. x

I got the definite feeling that she was ready to ‘ go at it’ or to shout “what are you looking at ?"

You still created a hypothetical situation in your own mind, and then used it in an argument to compare to me. Why? Why did you choose the example of a lesbian couple in response? What was the thought process behind the example you gave, an example you essentially made up.

If you have to question why one half of a lesbian couple might look towards a man staring at them every time he walks by them, with potential distain and 'ready to fight' then you should probably do some reading, but here are some helpers...

Firstly to be 'obviously in a couple' with one another as an LGBT couple in public is extremely vulnerable and secondly, there is a historical pattern on the way men treat lesbians (as you yourself have pointed out previously with that 'lad banter' in the pub about trying to turn them straight)

Do you really wonder why a lesbian might look unfavourably towards a man constantly surveying them while they're shopping for food. Does it surprise you she might be immediately on the defensive (if she even was?).

In hindsight I think this (and by extension Livia when she said no one was eyeballing anyone) is probably correct; no one was eyeballing anyone because the entire "encounter" was most likely a work of fiction.

As I mentioned previously ( and clearly) one of them was clearly disgruntled and seemed ‘edgy’ … she was clearly eyeballing people.. maybe someone had made a comment or given a disapproving glance their way - who knows

I obviously wasn’t staring at her .. she didn’t even notice me ..

The fact that you are making this into something it clearly isn’t- actually says a lot tbh

I'm going to be blunt Zizu and say that if I or others are making incorrect assumptions about your behaviour or intent, those assumptions are based on many of your other posts on here. You say things like this a lot. You make judgemental posts about young women (specifically), a lot.

[Livia]

It's the kind of manipulative stuff that happens in school. Don't take these crass comments to heart.
