UK — Manchester, England. British women’s rights campaigners are reporting that they were violently attacked on Sunday by “men in dresses” while at a march protesting violence against women and girls.

“There was a March in Manchester today about ending violence against women and girls,” a woman named Sophie reported on March 12 in a public Facebook comment.

“Men in dresses turned up and started throwing drinks at us.”

A tweeter recalled that the violence at the Manchester march began when a “glass bottle” was “smashed” by the men. Then a “man with pink hair came back for more hurling milkshake,” she wrote.

“Belstaffie was hit, hard, with a carton of milkshake. On two [occasions], I believe,” another woman tweeted. “Thrown/struck with enough force that it has definitely hurt her.”

Another tweeter stated that Belfstaffie was struck in the head and neck.

The women’s rights activist known as Belfstaffie Issy tweeted: “#MaleViolence. I was assaulted twice by a men’s right’s activist, whilst leading the chants for todays Manchester Vigil against MALE violence! I’ve made a statement against this man for targeted assault x 2.”

According to a YouTube video profiling the feminist, earlier in her life, she “escaped an arranged marriage designed to ‘cure’ her lesbianism,” and ultimately “became a Probation Officer […] specialising in serious Sex Offenders.”

“There were children in our group,” Sophie posted on Facebook. “One of these ‘oh so marginalised and vulnerable’ men was arrested.”

According to witnesses, the incident was captured on video.

“How emboldened they are in their enthusiasm for MVAWG [male violence against women],” a woman stated in a reply to Belstaffie’s tweet about the incident.

“They put on a dress but the male tendency to violence is always there and betrays them every time,” one man tweeted.

“I am so sorry but sadly I am not at all surprised. We had to be protected by police at Melbourne International Womens Day,” Australian women’s rights activist Angie Jones remarked about the incident in a tweet.

“Women around the world are facing escalating male violence as we raise our voices against the Gender Identity Cult.”

Transgender activist Joe Nellist slammed the women as “anti-trans campaigners […] out in Manchester attacking trans people,” adding “Say no to violence against all women, cis and trans.” The Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ Advisory panelist did not respond to several requests for evidence that women had assaulted transgender-identifying individuals at the march.

  1. Belstaffie is a friend of mine in real life. She was attacked by “trans women” …of course these are most likely to be fully male having had no drugs or hormone treatment. Par for the course with these fakers we are supposed to “be kind” to. We need to do more to raise the profile of autogynephilia and the harms it poses to women.
    I suspect the line about trans people being attacked is completely untrue. The women were there for a peaceful protest. I really can’t imagine Belstaffie attacking some bloke in a dress! After all, the man was the person arrested for assault, not her!

  2. I appreciated the British MP — may have been Tory, who cares? — who asked that the VAWG tag stop being used and replaced with MALE VIOLENCE. I see this as a terrible problem, the constant litany of violent crimes committed by men but no discussion of male violence.
