Jean, if you are reading, my heart goes out to you. I have no words that can comfort you but I will support you as long as possible.

A wonderful feminist who centres women in everything she does. Wishing you well and a swift recovery Flowers

Jean's surgery has been completed successfully but she's having a rough time of it. Good wishes welcome.

Jean I only saw this three today and you have been in my thoughts so much. Flowers

MsBeee · 12/09/2018 09:03

Jean, all my love to you, Oh my Gosh, so much love to you.

Mamaryllis · 12/09/2018 06:39

Jean, report your own post and ask mnhq.
Ps - what’s your new twitter account? I saw it this morning and now can’t find it in my timeline...

BellMcEnd · 12/09/2018 06:30

Sending you love and light, Jean.

Jeanhatchet · 12/09/2018 06:20

If anyone has a screenshot of Livia's post I'd like to see it please.

Ereshkigal · 20/08/2018 11:38

I can imagine.

BoreOfWhabylon · 20/08/2018 10:15

Good idea Lang.

I saw the post before Nightwatch hid it. 'Mean" is an understatement. MNHQ have, quite rightly, banned Livia.

LangCleg · 20/08/2018 09:51

Don't know what Livia said, but it appears to have been mean. In line with my usual policy, I've donated to Jean's crowdfunder in honour of Livia, as I do on behalf of all extremist anti-woman activists who come onto MN and attack women who are raising money to help other women. Well done, Livia! Do call again soon!

AssassinatedBeauty · 20/08/2018 00:56

Take a good hard look at yourself @Livia9 if you're at the point where you wish someone else dead. You have some serious problems going on.

heresyandwitchcraft · 20/08/2018 00:52

Livia9
What a truly abhorrent thing to write about a woman. Absolutely vile. Consider your post reported.

This post has been hidden until the MNHQ team can have a look at it.

So very sad to hear this Jean Flowers Just found your blog. Very best wishes to you and your family. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do Flowers

ADastardlyThing · 09/08/2018 10:46

Hi Jean. I just wanted to say i am thinking of you. Obviously you don't know me but I follow you a lot and I wish you strength and luck to get through this.

As a result of your news, I have recently been to my doctor with symptoms of ovarian cancer and am awaiting results of blood tests and am being sent for a scan.

I know it probably doesn't mean much but I just wanted to thank you for sharing your news as it promoted me to get myself checked. I'm absolutely terrified and I have a terrible gut feeling and in a way I wish I was still blissfully unaware.

Take care Jean. I think you are a wonderful person doing what you do and if I do get the news I am expecting I hope to be able to face it with a tenth of the courage you have.

MrsFogi · 06/08/2018 22:24

I'm so sorry you've had such rotten luck Jean. I have everything crossed for you. You are an amazing woman.
When the going gets tough remember to "Breathe and trust", one breath at a time.

LangCleg · 06/08/2018 22:23

Jean - I hope today went ok and you're bearing up. x

Corbyntrouserpress · 06/08/2018 21:47

Jean, I'm so sorry to hear this, wishing you all the best going forward. The work you've done and will do for women is amazing.

For those that don't know, Jean was absolutely central to the Truro 'Let a Woman Speak' event carrying on. If you haven't seen her speech on YouTube I'd recommend it. Her passionate, committed activism for women shines through, bloody brilliant woman that she is.

ToeToToe · 06/08/2018 21:25

I too donated to the victim of the Welsh footballer.

It was shocking to see what she went through - two court cases - yet the rhetoric seemed to be "he's had his life ruined" Hmm

Last I heard, he had re-joined his football club, had a baby with a gf who stood by him, regular cutesy headlines in the tabloids. Hardly a life ruined.

Whereas she has had to leave her home, her friends, has been outed, threatened, publicly vilified, and left the country.

Jean - you stopped that man re-joining Sheffield when he was first released, you raised money for his victim, and you raise money for vulnerable women everywhere. I applaud you, and I wish you the very best, and the very best news. Thanks

TooHotToWork · 06/08/2018 20:51

Sad to read this news, I first came across Jean when she set up the fundraiser for the Woman in the Welsh football player rape case. I gladly donated and it prompted me to donate when some women wanted to send a message about the NI alleged rugby rapists by taking out an ad in the Belfast Telegraph.
She will continue to inspire me Flowers
