Posie Parker Ate My Homework

Posie's skanks

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Deary me, they can't help themselves, can they?

Quite happy to be a Posie's skank.

I think she is fabulous. I'm old enough to be her mum so if I was being interviewed I know that it would just be said that I'm a clueless old fogey.
And we all know what many people think of women over fifty.
That's why they are angry.

Posie was absolutely knackered by the time the This Morning shennaneghans started, having been in Westminster by 9am to support Linda and Venice, and then for round 1 on Skynews at 4.30, she was still powering on doing the meeting in Manchester on Friday night, speaking to absolutely everyone who wanted to speak to her in the bar afterwards, and by the time I called it a day and went back to the hotel at 2am, was last seen heading off to a Karaoke bar.
At breakfast she mentioned the worms coming out of the woodwork from her past to bring up the 'Posie didnt queue on the slide aged 4' nonsense.
She is phenomenal, and I dont say that in a fan girl way (I know we were all referred to as 'Posie's skanks' yesterday by a section of the twittersphere, which was nice.
We dont all agree with everything she, or indeed any of us say. But we can talk, ask for context, and not demonise each other just because there are differences of opinion.
Like Venice, who is similarly villified, they both speak from the heart and wont say 'the right thing' to save other people's feelings, or to suit an agenda, if it means compromising what they believe.

for TV she is perfect. She is likeable, she wont allow herself to be talked over, she has confidence without appearing arrogant, and she is straight talking at a point where straight talking is needed. We have been kind and accommodating for too long, and thats why we are in the mess we are in.

I also love that although Posie is physically small, she is fearless.

She looks like the physical embodiment of speaking truth to power. IW towering over her but she sits up straight, unapologetic and lets the truth out.

So good.

They are annoyed by her because she's attractive and she doesn't give a shit.

^^ this

She is photogenic too.
I was interested to see how different she looked on Sky and on This Morning. I felt that she'd been sabotaged by the make-up team on This Morning, that it had been deliberate, just like the ambush. Compare a still of her on Sky with a still of her on TM. They fucked her over with brown pasty stuff slathered on her face.

She is photogenic too. It shouldn’t matter but she isn’t the stereotype of an old school feminist.
As a result I think a few more people are listening. It is like Graham Linehan and Brian cox being gender critical. You only need a few charismatic intellectuals on board and you have a much better chance of winning the argument.
And Phil Bunce also is great for everyone because of the absolute ridiculousness of the situation.

She broke my laptop too with her gender critical nonsense. And killed my roses.

She's all kinds of wrong for TRAs.

She's not a dyed in the wool feminist, as far as I know. Her main issue is free speech. She's not schooled at all in the academic side of feminism. She doesn't litter her talks with words like oppression or patriarchy.

She is gender conforming in appearance, and is completely upfront about it. And incredibly gender nonconforming in her attitude.

Plus she's mighty purdy. Much as we may dislike it, books are often judged by their cover. But over this particular issue it seems to have an extra dimension. Transactivists can't deploy their usual misogyny of criticising a woman's looks in order to discredit what she says.

You can't call her a feminazi, you can't call her jealous, you'd have trouble criticising her looks, since looks are incredibly important to the trans ideology and it just comes across as bitter.

The best you can hope for is 'disrespectful'. And all that seems to have produced is scorn and laughter.

So yes, Posie Parker ate my homework, ruined my crops, turned my hair grey and has given the dog runs.

Just read this, brilliant :)

OP, to be clear my post was directed at poster ChiaraRimini , not you.

She is amazing. I support her in every way I can.

ChiaraRimini Phew it's actually a relief to disagree with the Daily Mail, it was making me go all funny when they ran articles that were logical and fact-based

You should try re-reading that article. There is nothing in it to agree or disagree with. The Mail is reporting what others , including The Metro, have said. The article itself has no opinion.

You should also try reading the thread on here called "Purity". Your comment is exactly the sort of purity based, unthinking stance which is one of the reasons the left is in such a mess.

I'm not sure why the genderists hate Posie so much

Mummy issues.

Miranda Yardley rocks. I followed Miranda way before I had heard of Posie. Miranda is an incredible ally, really impressive.

Yep she cuts through the crap and is willing to be unliked, 🙀 oh my God a woman who is not constantly massaging male egos.

Go sister.
I always used to say TWAW. I didn’t believe it. I did it because I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and couldn’t see it did any harm. Most people I know are of this view, when discussing in private.

It was Miranda’s videos that changed my mind.

truth and biology !

To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of hers on Twitter but I think TV suits her much better. I like the way she doesn't try and ingratiate herself. She smiles only when she wants to. And she seems totally unflappable which is a huge asset on TV.

(And she wears some great clothes.)

People have said before that this is now a very dangerous time for women. The antics of David & Amie Challenor, Jess Bradley, Karen White, Edward Lord, Philip Bunce are out there for people to see, analyse and judge. Women's groups are being heard far more. The lunacies of prosecuting Venice and Linda Bellos are being discussed, the girl guides, Manfriday - journalists across the spectrum are now writing about all of this. men are increasingly writing and commenting

The trans groups still have a strangle hold on local and national government (see Leeds city council stopping democratic debate the other day) and they are ramping up their efforts in that direction.

Posie has been brave and courageous and is taking much of the public flack for the progress that all women are making. I salute her alongside all the brave women leading campaigns, arguing and writing (and those men involved). They should all encourage us to redouble our efforts in talking to people whenever and wherever we can.

I think Posie is very brave.

She knows that she has expressed views that will get her pilloried by both sides of this debate but she is still putting herself out there.

They are annoyed by her because she's attractive and she doesn't give a shit. As my mum would say: They are just jealous

Posie Parker annoys them so much, because she does not mirror them at all. While feminists have traditionally affirmed that, yeah, patriarchy is shit to anyone who presents as female gender or generally, not the macho male gender (which is absolutely correct), you won‘t get that from Posie. No opening to be mirrored.

Oh My God lady
Are you appropriating trees now!
It's a disgrace

Leaf "they" alone, "Everyone deserves to be who they want to be."

---> got my hat already!

I don't know how those This Morning managed to get those wet comments. No one agrees that IW is a woman. A minority pretend they do to be nice.

The comments btl show that the article comes across as a 'non article'. Few shares, small number of comments saying basically "Posie is right, why is this an issue? The fact this is an issue is troubling."

It's obvious that IW gave the heads up to Mark Helen/Natacha Kennedy or some other ringleader in the information war against women whose minions were there, tweets to hand, before they even started the show.

No sane free-thinking person thinks IW is a woman. So they had some stooge tweeters prepared for their orchestrated, prepared piece on 'no one agrees with you Posie'. It was a crap conjuring trick.

I'm not sure why the genderists hate Posie so much

Because she is charismatic, populist and an excellent communicator who cuts straight through the feminists vs genderists bubble and speaks straight to Joe and Joanna Public.

This is a worst case scenario for them because their only hope of success is to keep it as a niche political discussion with most people ignorant of the practical consequences and implications. As soon as "civilians" understand it, the game is over for them.
