Bow your heads women, and welcome your TIM overlords!!!!

Saw those ridiculous tshirts on my Twitter feed this morning closely followed by this stultifyingly stupid queer/pomo bullshit takedown of Hadley Freeman's piece in the Guardian.

I keep telling myself to stay off Twitter for the good of my health - utter arrant bs like this is the reason why.

"A woman's place is speaking out"

A woman's place is in the revolution"

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 13:04

The whole point of the "A Woman's Place" slogans is that they subvert the original idea of a woman's place being in the home supporting her husband while he does all the important things. They just basically turn it back to its original sexism.

Yes, exactly. Even just reading it out loud is kind of chilling. I know its supposed to be in response to the 'Women's Place' movement, but still, there doesn't seem to be any thought applied here at all. Which is kind of typical of the whole thing tbh.

Exactly. They predictably haven't grasped this at all.

Bet all the transactivists are wearing theirs with pride. Order of 2,000 for Momentum just come in Grin

Someone would have to have so little idea of the history of women's oppression to think a t shirt like that is in any way ok.

Wow! Shock They actually spent money on these t shirts and expected women to buy them?

Way to put women into their place - hidden, silent and agreeable.

Unashamed sexism really is making quite the comeback isn't it

Tone deaf fools!
