In October 2025, Brighton witnessed a stark confrontation between feminist and trans activist groups, culminating in the vandalism of the FiLiA conference venue by the direct-action group Bash Back. This incident has sparked widespread debate over the boundaries of free speech, the safety of women-only spaces, and the tactics employed in the defense of trans rights.
In the seaside city of Brighton, where the English Channel laps against shores long synonymous with progressive ideals, a gathering of women became the target of deliberate aggression last weekend. The FiLiA conference—Europe’s largest feminist event, drawing over 2,400 delegates from around the world—convened from October 10 to 12, 2025, to confront the unyielding realities of women’s lives: domestic abuse, sexual violence, lesbian safety, anti-racism, health equity, and political organizing. What should have been a sanctuary for sisterhood instead became a stage for intimidation, vandalism, and moral inversion, carried out by activists who cloaked their belligerence in the guise of righteous victimhood. This was no spontaneous protest; it was an orchestrated assault on women’s autonomy, executed through the psychological tactic known as DARVO—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender—flipping aggressor and victim roles to confuse and shame the true defenders.
FiLiA, the Feminist International Leadership and Action charity, has championed women’s voices and sex-based rights since its founding in 1982 as Feminists in London. Rebranded in 2019, the organization organizes workshops, advocacy campaigns, and international solidarity events, explicitly excluding male speakers to foster unmediated discourse. Alumni include figures like J.K. Rowling, and sessions routinely interrogate male violence without apology. In Brighton, hosted at the council-owned Brighton Centre, FiLiA aimed to advance this mission amid escalating threats to female-only spaces. Organizers preemptively requested a Public Spaces Protection Order from Brighton and Hove Council to mitigate anticipated disruptions, only to be rebuffed—a decision that left delegates exposed to the very dangers the conference sought to address.
The aggression began hours before the conference doors opened on October 10. Activists associated with the direct-action group Bash Back vandalized the venue: windows were shattered, purple paint—symbolizing queer defiance—splashed across entrances, and graffiti labeled FiLiA “transphobic” and worse. As women arrived on Saturday, masked protesters surrounded them, chanting, jeering, filming without consent, and blocking access to the entrance. One man was bundled into a police van amid the chaos. Sussex Police launched an investigation, but the damage was done: a conference on male violence against women had itself been disrupted by male violence.
This incident exemplifies DARVO in practice. Attacks were simultaneously denied or minimized as mere “direct action,” while FiLiA was cast as inherently bigoted for prioritizing biological sex in discussions of oppression. Reversal of victimhood followed swiftly: women convening to safeguard their rights were recast as provocateurs, deserving retaliation. Green MP Sian Berry’s comments faulting organizers for “inflaming division” exemplify this inversion, as if women’s speech is a privilege revocable at the whim of the offended. Online, Bash Back celebrated targeting “hate groups” like the LGB Alliance and Transgender Trend, further amplifying the narrative of moral righteousness while eroding accountability. Eyewitness reports indicate that many of the aggressors were male, cross-dressing in the guise of protest—a striking irony in a city branding itself a “City of Sanctuary.”
The Brighton disruption is part of a broader pattern of hostility toward women’s spaces, where the veneer of inclusivity is used to justify exclusion. Militant transactivism often prioritizes gender self-identification over material sex realities, demanding access to refuges, prisons, and sports at the expense of female safety. By framing sex-based protections as inherently “transphobic,” these tactics erode the foundations of feminism: the recognition that sex is the axis of patriarchal power and a critical factor in protecting women from violence. The FiLiA delegates were not debating abstract theory—they were strategizing for survival against rape, trafficking, and erasure. To disrupt their forum is to reinforce the patriarchal dynamics they resist.
The path forward requires vigilance and clarity. DARVO’s manipulations must be unmasked; women’s sex-based rights defended without apology; and discourse reclaimed from those who mistake volume and spectacle for moral authority. Only then can women gather safely, unmolested, to build the liberation FiLiA envisions—a liberation grounded in reality, accountability, and the enduring fight against male violence.

“One woman died and two others were injured in a violent attack at a Toronto massage parlour in February. A 17-year-old male, who is too young to be identified under Canadian law, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
Police added the terrorism charge on Tuesday, three months after the attack, after finding what they say is evidence that he had ties to the incel or “involuntary celibate” movement, whose members believe women owe men sex and are to blame for male sexual frustration. “
Yep, you read that right. That loser of a dude was under the notion that somehow women (sexy,hot women) owed him sexual pleasure and gratification.
Just how far up one’s ass does one need to be to think that anyone owes you anything in the world? And yet, this incel movement is a real facet of society.
Check this shit out from incel.co a forum for the wankers (hyperlink through donotlink):
“Sex is clearly a vital part of every humans existence, a man doesn’t even “become a man” in a sense within society until he has sex, in essence a lot of men have not undergone their “right of passage” to become part of the “tribe” that is modern human civilization.
This is why all of these mass shootings are taking place, its started to branch off into other things like the “Thot Audit”, more and more things like this are going to keep happening until society finally acknowledges this problem and begins to make changes.
So as it stands we now have a significant and growing pool of sexually starved men, who due to this are angry, violent, irritable and suicidal, seriously how does society expect this to play out, the most dangerous animal is the one backed into a corner with nothing to lose, when someone doesn’t care if they die, worse yet they want to die just so their sad existence can end, there is no reasoning with that person, they are on a “war path”, you either kill them, give that person what they want, or you get out of their way as they proceed to claim what they want.
Society expects us not to burn the village down when it won’t initiate us into the tribe, that’s whats truly outrageous, not the violence of disenfranchised men, but the fact that society actually expects us to just remain docile and accept this reality that has been forced upon us.”
Yeah. Witness the real creme of human civilization…
This is what it looks like to take a stand for decency, transparency and democratic values in society. Douglas Murray offers his services to defend one of his intellectual foes, because her safety and freedom are being placed in jeopardy by violent males (see trans activists).
“To Todd’s credit, her thinking about trans matters means she has emerged as one of a growing number of women who are realising that trans rights and women’s rights do not necessarily rub along in the most peaceful manner. In fact, they grind rather horribly against one another in certain places. Like some religions, you might say.
Prominent among the people noticing this are feminists like Todd who have spent their whole lives extolling all the correct views before stumbling upon trans. So now they hire meeting halls and book seminar rooms up and down the country to crawl towards truths that everyone else already knew. Some among their number — and Todd would appear to be among these — incur the wrath of that segment of the trans lobby which seems to think the best way to make everyone believe you are a lady is to go around threatening to punch people in the face if they refuse to call you ‘Miss’.
Todd’s story has come to national attention because it was announced that she had received threats on social media which meant she now required physical protection from trans activists. Of course, claiming that you have received threats on social media is one of the 21st century’s easiest short-circuiting hacks for privileging your own opinions, and personally I would treat the need for anti-trans protection with a pinch of salt. There have been some very ugly and unpleasant trans protests outside women’s meetings in recent years and the police have on occasion permitted a level of intimidation that is wholly unacceptable. Yet despite occasional violence, we probably shouldn’t overstate the risk of trans terror.
Still the development is an undeniably sinister one. ‘We all have to defend the right of people to have freedom of speech and freedom of debate,’ Todd said last week, adding she and her employers did not want to wait and see if she’d get ‘hit in the face’. And so at present two male staff members apparently arrive at lectures before Todd in order to ‘diffuse’ any negative reactions.”
Social media strips away some of the filters we have, sometimes allowing one’s learned attitudes and dispositions to show through. Women name the problem and men consciously or unconsciously defend the patriarchal status quo. Ironically the male defenders in this piece threaten the woman with rape for act of bringing attention the societal problem of the rape culture we live in.
This ‘normal’ disposition that these dudes are showing is a learned behaviour. If men can learn to treat women as second class, they can learn to treat women as actual human beings. The process starts with one interaction at a time – the question is can males that know better stop this shit at the root – because your silence is complicity to the status quo and all of the misery it visits on females and males.

These are the threats that entitled misogynists in dresses regularly hurl at women. These are the actions of men when you disagree with them. Feeling progressive and supportive of the trans-cult agenda yet? I know I’m not. Male violence and the threat of male violence is the first tool use in patriarchy to oppress females, if these ‘trans-women’ had even one small fucking inkling of what actually being a woman in society is like, they wouldn’t do shit like this. But they do, almost every time. So if you go against their pornified-male-gaze based version of what a woman is – this is what you get.
Transactivsm isn’t progressive, it isn’t ‘inclusive’ and sure as cats shit in my garden, it ain’t no feminism.
