The men who's photos you display are all bearded - hmmm, what might this portent. Ani, DO NOT BEND YOUR KNEE! I'm an elderly woman of mixed Pakeha and Maori descent and I rely on people like you to have the guts to stand up against the insidious tyranny of all you describe.
I also noted the beards! I wonder if they are trying to ‘be more of a man’ with the facial hair as some way of over-compensating for their lack of real manliness. Cos genuine decent blokes I know don’t write such vile crap about some woman having an opinion. Sad weirdos.
This is a horrible list of tribulations you are going through Ani. You are strong to put up with the hate. I suspect the vast majority of us are behind you. I guess these vocal woke idiots have been given free reign to cancel dissenting voices for too many years to realise how out of step they are with the majority opinion of NZ.
Here's the simple truth I have learned and had reinforced from a lifetime working with biological reality (in my case as a farmer). You can change a bull into a steer, but it will never be a heifer or a cow. The same essential truth exists in human biology. End of story. Anyone saying otherwise is insane.
Keep up the good work, you are a voice of reason in the prevailing madness.
"These self-professed male feminists know exactly the right pronouncements to make about sexism, race, and the rest of the intersectionality chart, and in the right-on-totally-correct lingo. They are first in line to condemn the misogyny of their political opponents and wax lyrical about rape culture or the pay gap or consent. But that all flies out the window when the red flag of a woman’s defiance flutters in the wind." Right on the money Ani. This leftist appreciates your red flag.
Gonna have to ask you to kiss my ENTIRE 🍑, William! Please crawl back into your converted room that used to be your Dad's garage, find a sock and check out the red-suit Farrah poster that's STILL on the wall...
Burning expose. Funny how little control these so-called social justice men have when they want to 'punish' women. Bilious attacks are easy, and not a particularly good show of strength. Controlling what you say, even though you might want to be bilious, is much harder and the real show of strength.
You might be the 'wrong' kind of lesbian, Ani, but console yourself with the knowledge that I'm the 'right' kind of Boomer - white, comfortably off, etc - and I'm still hated - lol!
The left like to portray themselves as kind, caring, considerate, tolerant, inclusive, peace loving etc. These men are the antithesis of those qualities, but they are far from the only people from the left claiming those virtues. In fact the Posy Parker rally drew back the curtain to reveal the true nature of so many. Keep it up Ani. You are not alone, you have a huge following out here in the real world where real people have real concerns about individuals such as the ones pouring hate on you.
I'm appalled that so many have attacked you, So many different types but I see a montage of a group of bearded men. I'm a bearded man myself - although a lot older than any of them - a very stale, pale male. But I warmly support and appreciate you and all your articles and posts, Ani. Keep it up!!
You have written something extremely helpful if and/or when one of the bearded beta boys goes completely off the rails. This piece will discombobulate them as you have far more reach than they do. And more networks. In the meantime, I - and many others - will keep an eye on them and you. Keep being true to yourself, as that's all we can do.
Keep it up Ani! New Zealand needs women like you to speak out against this rubbish. And I can’t help but think that when these misogynist leftwing bearded males unleash their uninhibited vitriol on a woman it emphasises the misogyny and lays bare their lack of any proper argument.
Ok Ani, your Substack columns keep popping up and ‘forcing’ me to read them. Then I cannot help but engage for they are generally good, brutally honest & very well written. This angry grumpathon post was actually also pretty damn good, for the dipshits you highlighted are an embarrassment to masculinity. Or an embarrassment to femininity I guess, cos who can tell where these twats would land on any given day.
Anyway, brush off the haters. Probably their vile comments do rankle somewhat, but for what it’s worth, I like your writing. And I’m a centre-right conservative. But more importantly, I’m pretty fucking smart and so am good at discerning the wheat from the chaff. I don’t care at all about you being lesbian, even though I don’t fully understand it. But I do care about complete fucktards who think there are more than 2 genders, that you can switch them Doyle-style as suits, and that it’s somehow ok to indoctrinate kids with this filthy ignorance. They are evil predators who deserve all of your scorn, and more besides. So keep it up, Boris approves and that’s what counts! 😉
Ani your articles are always balanced and your facts are always evidence-based. I don't know any men who would defend Doyle, or men in dresses wanting to occupy women's spaces - they think both are despicable. Social media has emboldened these vial creeps who attack you to come out of their dark corners. These are not normal straight heterosexual men, there is something else going on with them. If men are threatened by women, whether lesbian or straight, who simply want to protect women's rights, then they are lacking confidence in themselves. Remember that though their voices are loud and nasty, they are not the majority, the majority agrees with you. The kicks that poster must have got from finding that old photo of you to post, that's about the most satisfaction they will get in their pathetic lives. I have seen you at a Speak up for Women event and coming from a straight woman, you are a very attractive young woman so never doubt that. I wish you could resist reading all that vitriol because it is they who have problems, not you, and they are not the majority.
When inappropriate behaviour is exposed, what better way to avoid an investigation than attack you, the whistle blower? Especially because you are a woman. And even more so because you are a lesbian. Note there appear to be no similar attacks on the person who alerted you to Doyle’s account, Holyhekatuiteka. But then he’s a man, so he’s allowed to voice a strong opinion.
Your attackers can’t use logic to defeat your principled (and correct) stand, so they use personal vitriol instead. Please remember that others do see them for the misogynistic bullies they are and condemn the abuse they use in place of argument.
Please don’t stop - your voice for women’s and children’s rights is both essential and powerful.
Thanks for being courageous enough to share your views and opinions Ani. You have the moral high ground on this one based on the material you’ve shared and your handle. Have any of them managed to string together a coherent and politely worded argument yet to make you change your mind? Perhaps they’re getting increasingly frustrated eh?

It is quite bizarre!
They seem to be styling themselves after Karl Marx. Coincidence?
more bizarre than you defending the national MP in the pedo cult?
ani o brien loves pedos.
Thank you, Aroha :) don't you worry at all there is no chance of me bending the knee.

Farmers get it! They aren't milking the bulls! Thanks for reading :)
no that's what you do right ani? when you're not defending child rapists who happen to be national or act mps.

You've always been one of my favourite leftists, Don!
you're not a leftist you cunt.
way to prove my point there, Willy.
i hope your ivf fails, you barren cunt, any child of yours would absolutely abused by you.

Thanks, Katrina! they have no self-control haha

Miaow - lol!
Have you taken you medicine today you animal?

Thanks for reading, Tim :) they definitely have a look but I don't hate on all white blokes with beards haha

Don’t dwell on what the creeps say. Reality will win this fight
This is a rally-to-the-flag moment. The Greens just had a terrible week and need to deflect with the usual greatest hits and blaming the messenger.
Yeah it is deflection for sure!
