In order to celebrate 100 years of women having the vote, they have put seven women on their cover, including transwoman Paris Lees. Women just aren't allowed anything of their own any more, are they? First Celebrity Big Brother then this.

So many amazing women to choose from and they choose a man who's had plastic surgery to create an opening in his body and fake breasts, who writes about how much he likes to be fucked by two men and feel it dripping down his leg afterwards.

The editor of British Vogue is male, of course.

despite all his hard work to end violence against women

What the fuck has Paris done on this, apart from TELL MEN THAT STREET HARRASSMENT OF WOMEN IS AWESOME?

Jesus fucking fuck, I am so angry about this.

Yeah it's difficult, because on the one hand you want Vogue and the other women who pandered to this to hear our voices of disapproval, but on the other it gives him the opportunity to cry bully.

I bet he was hoping for that.

Paris is now on twitter calling out the 'sad people' who say he does not deserve to be in Vogue despite all his hard work to end violence against women, protect mothers of trans kids, and make sex work safer. We are all sick, apparently.

No surprise at all that Sophie Walker is there, she is savvy enough to know which way the wind's blowing. Stella Creasy too.

Melon, you are very odd.

I came on here to say that Vogue UK have lost their fucking minds. And not just because they've labelled as a "new suffragette" someone who, because male, would have been able to vote then, it's because that the trans-identified male they've chosen to be in this group is Paris "street harrassment of women is awesome and sexy" Lees.

I totally judge Stella Creasy, Reni Eddo-Lodge and Sophie Walker for lending their credibility to this absolute fucking farce. How do they think this makes all the women for whom street harrasment and attacks aren't sexy feel?

You mean Sophie Walker of WEP, is that the WEP that either don’t know or won’t say what a WOMAN is?

hipsterfun · 04/01/2018 22:33

I’ll give Vogue a year before it folds.

It's disappointing that Sophie Walker, leader of the Women's Equality Party is in the photo. Why won't she make a stand?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 04/01/2018 22:27

eh Paris Lees would have been able to vote

I think that is a tinfoil hat theory too far

EamonnWright · 04/01/2018 22:19

Wut.

You're real funny. And weird.

Erm, just because they're tall, doesn't mean they're blokes, there MelonKnee.

Only Paris Lees is the transexual, Stella et al are more or less handmaidens.

plus the handmaidens who fawn over him

I doubt he really likes them. I expect he despises them for it.

Gingernaut · 04/01/2018 20:24

Yup. Vogue have drunk the Kool-Aid

Politicians Stella Creasy and Sophie Walker join artist Gillian Wearing, gal-dem founder Liv Little, trans awareness campaigner and journalist Paris Lees, blogger Dina Torkia and writer Reni Eddo-Lodge for a unique portrait by Julia Hetta and aVoguevideo in which they explain what equality means to them, the changes that would improve the lives of women and what the next hundred years will hold.

Teen Vogue in the USA also has a male editor, who published an article about how teen girls can do anal sex, with a diagram of 'non prostate owners' that omitted the clitoris.

I'm not comfortable with Vogue now having a male editor either. There was a load of hooha about how groundbreaking that was etc etc. Huh?

terfing · 04/01/2018 19:17

Arrrggghhhh!

Paris would have been able to vote 100 years ago! This isn't his struggle! Angry

Just wait, it won't be long before it's the woman that is a token. The rest will be men. Men are colonising womanhood at a terrifying speed.

Token trans - every women's list has one now it seems, but never a transman on men's lists, surprise, surprise. The irony of it being a list to celebrate women getting the vote including Paris Lees, born male with the right to vote.
