So I went to a couple of Germaine Greer talks today. One on the Bronte sisters and one on ecofeminism. Nothing about trans issues whatsoever.

Both talks had protesters outside. I have attached a pic of the protest and the leaflet they were handing out. Apparantly because GG and Jenni Murray were both speaking at the week long literary fest, Juno Dawson was too scared to attend and had to pull out. There were police at both talks so.I assume they had also received threats.

Utterly utterly ridiculous. Women who are "problematic" are now not allowed to talk about anything apparantly.

Fucking pathetic. "Juno Dawson is a brilliant author and journalist"....yeah, dazzling, right up there with Germaine Greer. I love those articles where a man tells feminists they're doing feminism wrong and in fact it's about makeup Hmm

Maybe Juno should think about growing a spine and stop being so utterly pathetic?

Juno Dawson did not have to pull out of speaking because of the presence of other speakers that they don't like. It's ridiculous.

You are not allowed to be female in possession of an opinion. It's dangerous.
