Another voice.....

[ginyogarepeat]

Robert Webb has added his voice:
twitter.com/arobertwebb/status/1076515788247482373?s=21

Thank goodness for some more sanity. I hope it lasts.

Great that he has stepped up.

Alison Moyet who tweeted in favour of Martina Navratilova earlier seems to have disappeared unless my Twitter is not working properly

Been a long time coming Mr Webb, but I think we all suspected it.
I’m hoping the next time I click that link it doesn’t say ‘This Tweet has been deleted’. Ihope he’s made of sterner stuff.

That's what I'm hoping too Judas......

He also replied to Janice's original tweet promoting the article:

twitter.com/arobertwebb/status/1076516541062090752

Retweeted. They can shove their influence up their arses. I’ll influence them under the table. Great column. Sorry I’ve been such a coward this year. Merry Christmas (and you too, comedy brother-in-law) x

Giles Coren said something supportive to Janice yesterday too, I think. I wonder if he and RW between them might talk to David Mitchell.

I think we've always known

It's so encouraging to see him stick his head over the parapet like that.

Yep can't see Alison any more on twitter.

David Baddiel has also tweeted Janice supportively.

Oh good.

Robert Webb has paddled in gc waters before- it was clear thats where his heart was.
I love him for many reasons inc his flashdance!

David Mitchell is probably a bit too mainstream to really come out for this, I suspect. Both Webb (who I a little bit love ) and Coren (who I like rather less) are both known for being a bit more edgy/controversial. David M’s got a lot riding on not rocking the boat.

If they keep this up and get David Mitchell to come out too it'll be the best Christmas present ever.

Alison moyet broke her own silence to tweet- I think it was clear her intention was to do a one off message of support.

Many, many a minor lab argument has been solved with a hair flip and a, ‘This is MY laboratoire!’

Good lad!
I love that he's spoken out, hope he is also a Mumsnetter..

It's been building for ages. Good on him!

I knew it! I'm glad he's speaking up. The tide is definitely turning. About time too!

We really do need more men to be vocal for us.
They get far less of the viciousness piled on them.

Glinner has taken a lot of flack but he has stuck his head out higher than most.

Retired commentators and retired sportsmen and women.
We need you.

Coren is a bit off for me. I remember a couple of articles he wrote a few years ago when his wife was pregnant about how he hoped the baby would be a girl because girls are "nicer" than boys. All a bit genderist stereotypical rubbish i thought at the time, and I hoped for the future child's sake it would indeed be a girl rather than a boy, so as not to be such a terrible disappointment to the parents. It was a really depressing article I thought. Poor kid either way actually.

The one I want (?) is Gary linekar.

Anyway, well done to Robert Webb.

His book is in DH's stocking this year :-)

I’m so pleased - he’s actually put his money where his mouth is and risked angering the mob.

So far no abusive comments that I can see but I think even with my insignificant twitter presence I’m on a lot of the block lists so maybe I just can’t see them.

I loved Robert Webb’s book, passed it on to my husband who loved it too, and I am so glad that when my son is a teenager I’ll have this fab resource to give him and speak to him about gender issues from such a funny and clever voice.
