Why is @justice_sisters participating in a forum with a credibly accused perpetrator?

Full disclosure: I told Thilaga about the situation with Surendra Ananth last year. They say they have always maintained that there needed to be some sort of investigation, and that their actions centred around me getting access to justice. Not sure how this applies.

Thilaga also told me that Surendra had approached her earlier to talk shit about me + imply I was crazy/a jilted ex. They said that they don't take statements like these from men seriously.
I sincerely hope being part of this forum is just an oversight on @justice_sisters part.

Wow 🙃🙃🙃 #TIL feminist org thinks multiple accusations = complex situation. I deeply regret seeking assistance from @justice_sisters last year. They make it sound like the poster is the issue?! Not sharing space with a perp?!

And don't @ me about sharing message screenshots and equate that to consent issues, that's not how it works thx pls get educated

I'm just tired. They're right in that it's not about loyalty - it's about solidarity. Does @justice_sisters think the other women who came out did it out of loyalty to me? Harlow I don't even know 90pc of them.

(backstory: a few days ago @justice_sisters asked the person working my case a bunch of dodge questions incl about the other women + whether they'd be willing to come out if there was an investigation. I didn't answer in detail bc my spider sense was tingling. Guess I was right.)

I know I can't speak for the community, and I don't profess to, but as a bisexual woman acutely aware that we are more vulnerable to sexual and intimate partner violence I just wanna say that Surendra Ananth is NOT someone I recognise as advocating for my rights. Periodt.

And the nerve of a so-called feminist org telling a survivor that THEY are in a difficult situation. What the fuck do they think my life has been like the past year? What about the law students too scared to say anything bc they don't wanna be branded troublemakers? I am raging.

Beyond @justice_sisters joining the talk, I really want to know why the @malaysianbar is so comfortable platforming a credibly accused perpetrator and not conducting their own internal due diligence or processes

The @malaysianbar can't say it wants to protect people but also ignore complaints, even if they have been made on social media - socmed is a legitimate platform given the #metoo movement
