That doesn’t deserve 15 minutes of my life.

SlowlyShrinking · 27/09/2018 12:43

Ive just watched posie’s rant and she definitely says that she thinks she errs towards rad feminism but she admits she hasn’t read much. You’re right Datun

heresyandwitchcraft · 27/09/2018 13:09

Thanks Joss for spreading the message of Posie Parker.
To be clear, I don't dislike many trans activists because they are trans. I dislike the ones who are thought-controlling bullies that tell me there is no such thing as my biological sex.
Did JP overlay Churchill over what Posie was saying? Churchill was a hero!
Also Posie's video has now been watched 11800 times! And this one 796. I wonder how many of them are not actually JP's target audience...
It's clear Posy Parker makes them veeeeeery worried.

I suppose some men can't believe that women simply won't do what they are told, unless they say they are feminist.

The absolute joy to this entire issue is how many women, who weren't particularly interested in feminism, have become radical feminists by being exposed to such blatant misogyny.

You can identify as a feminist, say you are supporting feminism, and understand the statistics, but until you see exactly how widespread sexism and misogyny is, you're still not quite looking through the matrix.

That continuous clunking is the sound of the scales falling, for women everywhere.

I started watching Joss Prior but Posie seemed more interesting so I switched to that instead, and then watched another of hers. Thanks Joss Smile

And then of course, submit to being told they're doing feminism wrong every time a man disagrees.

Exactly. Do what you're told! Oh wait, what? You're a feminist?

Right well that's not what feminism means. Feminism means do what you're told!

ToeToToe · 27/09/2018 14:19

How very very interesting to hear Joss Prior's voice.

Sorry, can't listen to it, even to critique.

Posie is a spendiforous woman with nice T shirts. (And nice trousers.)

There are lots of very male people (like Harrop) currently trying to tell women what feminism is too - they can all FTFO. It doesn't matter whether Posie is a feminist or not (she is) - Posie is a woman. An adult human female. Standing up for other adult human females.

Lefty99 · 27/09/2018 14:42

Had to turn this off, was cringing too much. Embarrassing they think they can match Posie.

RainbowsArePretty · 27/09/2018 14:50

I've watched the first video but need to work through the other ones when I have time CakeStar

littlbrowndog · 27/09/2018 14:51

I think a guy identified me as a feminist as he said I don’t want to hear your feminist agenda

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 27/09/2018 14:57

I really don't think it's a good idea for people like Joss to speak. I managed a few seconds before wanting to scream.

Apparently, Posie has never been a feminist. There's an obvious response - what, just possibly, has Joss never been?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/09/2018 14:59

Im with alice

posie just looks in the first video like she is having a chat with you

Joss hasnt got the same 'one of the people' thing going

Anyway i only managed i few minutes, i found joss popping up a bit surreal

FloralBunting · 27/09/2018 15:05

Yes, it fascinating - I've veered from open anti-feminist, to very much on the fence, to, just really in the last three months or so, acknowledging that I am an out and out Feminist, and really getting to grips with so many of the ideas - and I probably would have stayed quite obliviously ignorant of this were it not for the overtly aggressive behaviour of Anti-Woman activism.

For all the eloquence of MN posters, it was the swivel-eyed loons like Harrop and co that really pushed me over the line and into the Radicalisation Portal.

vaginafetishist · 27/09/2018 15:20

Oh ! Prior is a scouser!!!! Love the way we say terf, like werrrrk (work).

Trousered · 27/09/2018 15:21

Haha, we are apparently anti social weirdos according to JP. The last word in the video.

Datun · 27/09/2018 15:31

It's a microcosm, it really isn't it?
We wouldn't need feminism if it weren't for men and their reaction is the best advert.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/09/2018 15:51

vagina

Both my parents are from Liverpool, i love the accent

I tend to say werk as well and have quite 'northern' inflections

LangCleg · 27/09/2018 16:04

They don't get it at all, do they? They actually think that's some kind of gotcha.

KatVonGulag · 27/09/2018 16:10

I've seen a couple of TA tweets where they've moved on from "t*rf" to "anti trans activists"
Obviously dear Joss didn't get the memo
