Did anyone hear this? I am absolutely furious. They had a woman from the London Anti Street Harassment campaign and a male journalist. He was saying that feminists were effectively trying to silence men and deny them a voice by campaigning against harassment.

Sorry I'm being very inarticulate but I was so cross. Angry

I shall post a link when it's up on Listen Again.

Here's the link to have a listen.

I have to keep running upstairs to flush it again and see if it is really clear. I can't quite believe I've done it.
It is more empowering than most of the empowerment the patriarchy tries to sell us, I can tell you Smile

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:44

oh that's alright then :o

Are you posting one handed with the other one round the u-bend?

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:42

I suppose the bottom line is, extremes from both sides makes the best radio.

thanks for the message, I only haven't replied because I've been bit tied up this evening with toilets etc!

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:38

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:37

I think that actually went quite well! Was amazed that they selected some of those messages to read out.

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:36

do you think we will get a new influx of trolls from the late night radio listeners?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:34

"it's just pointless objectification" - yep.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:33

well he sounded quite nice. "What's wrong with just a smile?"

What about your boyfriend whistling at you? Yeah cos that is the same.

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:32

Gary I love you - marry me!

(except I am already married and so is he, probably, a lovely man like that.)

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:27

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:27

"it's built into my nature as a man"

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:26

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:26

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:24

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:24

'most women are getting really graphic descriptions....'

YESSSS! Go Vicky! She's turned it round.

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:22

3 against one... bit of a set-up....

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:22

"so it's just guys fulfilling your gender stereotyping then, eh?"

"uh it's just a dictionary"

He doesn't sound too bright does he?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:20

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 21/09/2010 23:09

sethstarkaddersmum · 21/09/2010 23:04
