Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Quentin "I have to say JJs recent posts are making me more sympathetic to the TRAs."

why's that?

terryleather · 05/03/2018 22:41

I strongly suspect the LP don't really want all women short lists so this situation is perfect - still have the shortlists so they can look progressive but render them useless by allowing self ID.

It's a win-win for misogynist lefty dudebros and fuck the actual cunty women.

It scares me where this will all end...

So more WineGinis called for I reckon!

Oh that sounds much more positive than the usual #nodebate nonsense, in which case I shall have another toddy to celebrate.

Cheers to you too!

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:56

I'm not surprised the #nodebators are kicking off

Brew cheers

It started with a properly annoying propaganda video and improved into a discussion in which Nic Williams and Sarah Ditum and a dv survivor were given an actual hearing.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:40

Meant to be Halloween Smile but it's been a long day

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:39

terryleather · 05/03/2018 18:33

You can't, there's already four elephants in there.

Quentin - some of the Royal Robbins clothes are smart enough for work tops but, because they’re designed for travel, they are incredibly forgiving in terms of wash, hang up, put on. They look slightly better if ironed, but it’s not a requirement.

Riverside2 · 05/03/2018 15:20

bored at work

any more jokes? Grin

Cwenthryth · 05/03/2018 08:30

Well, I just got my first Twitter blocking. For agreeing with a transwoman who posted they are against self-ID. Literally a 2 tweet exchange, I said I 100% agree with them, but that makes me a TERF, after I said pls don’t assume I’m cis, sorry they were being attacked and asking who attacked them. Apparently I called them male (I didn’t) and this is an attack.

Feel a mixture of frustration, annoyance but also like I just got my wings. How does this logic make any sense to the people that believe it?

HairyBallTheorem · 05/03/2018 08:04

Quentin, it's an onamatopoeia. Ba-doom (two hit the land) tish (the third lands in the lake).

You're far from alone there, lightofa. I was a lifelong guardian reader until about three years ago when they went off the reservation over women's rights generally. The rot set in with their refusal to report the New Year's mass assaults in Cologne, and then went completely to pot over trans issues and their absurd censorship BTL.

I've given up on online journalism more or less altogether now, the quality is so low, and. I read the New Statesman in hard copy instead. I can cope with that.

LightofaSilveryMoon · 05/03/2018 01:24

The Guardian is not accepting any realistic comment on their (self) congratulory
www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2018/mar/03/womens-liberation-movement-march-1971-in-pictures

I posted a comment saying, basically, "Yes, great, but what about current women's rights and men's self ID?" And mentioned DV and rape shelters and assistance, toilets and changing rooms, women's sport, and health and social care.

Comment appeared briefly then disappeared again.

I think it is now time for me to give up on the Guardian.

Sorry, didn't know where else to put this, but I must put it somewhere because I'm pissed off.

Good health to you all, and thanks to you for being here!

Riverside2 · 05/03/2018 00:43
