Radical feminism - the coolest game in town. Always has been.

I thought pansexual was something to do with flutes.

I blame it on too much mythology as a child.

Brilliant post from an outstanding woman.

Off to donate to the crowdfunder.

But when it's women, it feels as though something unique and quite powerful is happening

I think this sums up the problem beautifully, because when women talk and connect something unique and powerful does happen - we are connected because we are women, it is in our very biology, and that is why sex matters.

It took me a long time to realise why we need a feminist movement in GB in 2018, and I’m very grateful to all you women who have kept talking and kept explaining- you are doing amazing work!

@JeanHatchet, I love your campaigning.

And we need a bigger vision than just the GRA - we need to evolve our systems of governance so they work for the majority - for us - so that they embody the wisdom we have and implement what's needed to create a level playing field of the sexes.

I was thinking about this yesterday.

How unique it is that so very many women can all communicate at the same time. Sharing experiences, stories, anecdotes, ideas, advice and support.

We recognise that social media has allowed people to find their 'tribe'. And sometimes that has been dangerous. A feeling of legitimising people who are, quite rightly, outliers in society.

But when it's women, it feels as though something unique and quite powerful is happening.

There are so many common points in the experiences of women that communicating them is quite genuinely empowering. A word, I know, that is often frowned upon, but this instance it feels appropriate.

Nothing like Mumsnet has ever been seen before.

The number of women who have said they hadn't considered themselves feminists, until they started reading on mumsnet is extraordinary.

And we are over half the population. All communicating. All supporting.

Thanks for this OP Jeanhatchet.

Susan has a nice kitchen, always smells of freshly baked bread and rebellion

I have elderflower gin. And tales of the 1970s and 1980s to impart.

Crones get the pick of the best chairs don't they?

And the right to repeat often tales of much derring do

Room at the table for a Crone?

Aaargh! Bloody autocucumber. I do not bring 'him', I bring GIN.

I saw myself as a bit of a crap feminist, certainly not a radical one. Then the world went batshit crazy and all of a sudden I found myself in the radical camp, and a full-blown revolting woman. I don't just roar, I bite, but if you let me in the kitchen I bring him.

I confess I did find Mr Tumnus a bit foxy in the recent Narnia movies. And then had an existential moment of angst about genitalia. Which would no doubt have impressed Riley Dennis.

Gosh, Beyond that's a really important point!

wish I'd thought of that

This completely negates bisexuality. Though, I'll confess to being a bit confused by pan-sexual still. My daughter's friend describes herself as "pan" - makes me think of someone who finds Mr Tumnus particularly alluring.

I don't care about being cool but I guess that's why I'm not a feminist of any description.

You are so right OP

Radfems are the most rock n roll, the most punk in town!

I can't help thinking about how we'll look back on this in years to come.

The attitude

The disobedience

I love the fact that young middle age - to elderly women are the most defiant, punk rock demographic of all.

All the obedient, compliant youngsters need to watch and fucking learn!

I hadn't seen the donation page before. Done. Thank you for sharing

I donated direct to FPFW via their paypal because it was more effective (less creamed off for fees).

I have donated again to FPFW. 3 days left for the crowd funder, and it's having a surge of donations.

Thanks Jean. Your rep's talk at the Let a Woman Speak event is one of the few that I feel able to share with anyone, wherever they stand on this issue.

Anyone who watches it and calls us bigots afterwards has a heart of stone.

"I've been reading about Pride and I don't understand. When did it become an issue for a lesbian to be defined as a "adult homosexual woman"? What is a lesbian now?"

I'd probably add to that "surely anyone who wants to have sex with both people with penises and people with vulvas is bisexual (or pan...)? They should be proud of that, bisexual erasure is a bad thing"

If I agree to stay out of the kitchen can I have a can of Pop too?

oops. typo - meant "doesn't support" everyone equally.
