Some ‘feminists’ are killing feminism and sending women back to the kitchen. By Emma Rylands ) Women around the world, it is now time for you to stand up and speak just like our fellow Suffragettes did more than a hundred years ago. There is a tiny minority amongst us who are calling themselves ‘fundamentalist’ or ‘gender critical feminists’, and they are hurting us. They are destroying everything that women have fought for over the years. They are slowly taking back our hard earned rights. They are disrespecting us, our mothers who raised us whilst working really hard to prove that a woman can be a mother and hold a job. Most of all they are disrespecting our grandmothers and great grandmothers who worked hard, raised children, lived through war and fought for our rights.
There’s no point in listing all these ‘feminists’ who are trying to deceive us on a daily basis. A simple Google search will bring up all these fundamentalist and gender critical feminists and everything they keep trying to sell us. Their stories are filled with hate for minorities and through their stories they will have you believe that some women are the danger while what they are actually doing is promoting a patriarchal lobbying group that would rather see us in the kitchen and raising children instead of being equal to them. Here is a small example of deceit that has the press talking. Everyone knows of the former British swimmer, Sharron Davies, and her views on how transgender women athletes should NOT compete in female competitions in order to protect women’s sport. Some will hear her talk and others will read her comments on social media. But how many of us will actually do some research and try to find out how many transgender athletes are currently Olympians? Yes, you’ve rightly
“There is a tiny minority amongst us who are calling themselves ‘fundamentalist’ or ‘gender critical feminists’ and they are hurting us. They are destroying everything that women have fought for over the years”
guessed that there are NO transgender athletes that are Olympians, despite the fact that transgender people have always been here. Instead of researching transgender athletes, and actually discovering that based on medical researches around the world proving that the effects of hormone replacement therapy is having on their bodies and their performance is getting lower and lower, I would advise you to spend some time and effort in researching an organisation called Alliance Defending Freedom. What does an organisation in the United States of America have to do with our British Goldilocks sweetheart, ex-swimmer Sharron, you ask me?
Alliance Defending Freedom is an American conservative Christian non-profit organisation and one that Southern Poverty Law Center designated as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group. Alliance Defending Freedom also has a legal academy which trains Christian attorneys in constitutional law so they can provide pro bono/dedicated service to the Body Of Christ. It claims to have 3,400+ allied attorneys, 300+ allied organisations and in 2017 it had a revenue of more than $55 million. It is seen as the most organised and influential Christian legal interest group in America.
• Founder No 3: Larry Burkett, a white evangelical Christian, who left a very successful career in electronics and a space programme after he began an intense study of biblical teaching and became an evangelical Christian, married to Judy. Mr Burkett passed away in 2003, aged 64. • Founder No 4: Dennis James Kennedy, a white conservative evangelical minister and pastor, married to Anne Craig Lewis, father of one. Mr Kennedy passed away in 2007, aged 76. • Founder No 5: Bill Bright, a white evangelist, who had quit his successful business to pursue biblical studies, married to Vonette Zachary Bright, father of two. Mr Bright passed away in 2003, aged 81. If this very brief description of the president and founders hasn’t made any sense to you, let me summarise them. White, middle-aged, evangelical Christian men. You have rightly noticed that there is no diversity whatsoever and there are no women involved in the running of this organisation. I can see that you’re still reading this and asking how is feminism, women’s hard-earned rights, our Goldilocks Sharron, transgender athletes and an American organisation related? Surely this doesn’t make any sense. Well, let me explain. Alliance Defending Freedom supported three high-school students in Connecticut to file a federal discrimination complaint challenging the state’s policy of letting trans students compete on sports teams according to their gender identity. They obviously refer to trans girls as ‘biological males’ and claim that they have an unfair advantage, just the same narrative that Sharron Davies is using here in the UK. Since the federal discrimination complaint was filled, one of the three students has beaten one of her trans opponents in a race and said “this is just track, you know, it’s just running”.
ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM Let’s have a look at this organisation a bit more in depth. • President CEO: Michael Farris, a white Republican aged 68, married to Vickie Farris since 1971 and has ten children and 22 grandchildren. • Founder No 1: Alan Sears, a white middleaged man who was raised in the Baptist church but converted to Roman Catholicism in order to get married to his wife, Paula. • Founder No 2: James Dobson, a white Republican evangelical Christian aged 83, married to Shirley Deere since 1960 and has two children.
Alliance Defending Freedom, aka the middleaged white men from the evangelical Christian organisation, are also ‘protecting women’s health’ by having filed over 40 cases against planned parenthood. They oppose abortion, they oppose same-sex marriage and civil unions, they oppose adoption by same-sex couples, they believe that children should not be taught sex education at schools, they oppose transgender rights, and lastly, they believe that children are best raised by a married mother and father. They are in favour of state sanctioned sterilisation for trans
