I'm not sure I'm radical enough yet to be a Proper Feminist, but if you know Kirsty, please let her know I'm working on it.

I'm minded of the quote 'well behaved women rarely make history'. And currently we're having to defend biology and language too.

I love how the ‘proper feminist’ gatekeeping thing always comes from the sort of people who under any other circumstances would be whining about the unfairness of ‘gatekeeping’... 🙄

I'm in favour of definitions and boundaries and dont care about insults such as 'gatekeeping' which has suddenly become a Bad Thing.

I assumed that tweet was written by an SNP supporter who was about 14, not an actual grownup!

Got quite a shock reading this in the times today "Kirsty Blackman, the party’s former deputy leader in the Commons"
