Complain again!!!

Make them admit that either they think humans can change sex OR they just don’t think women’s voices are important

Just made me more cross

It's certainly possible to take higher.
Failing to include a woman, and being racist, are unforgiveable.

yeah, I had that bullshit response too

have gone back to them back through their stupid webform, can't reply to the email) to say I still don't understand why they thought it was Ok to discuss the definition of 'woman' without speaking to any actual women.

i mean I suspect they think that we should look at Sophie Cook, over-ride the evidence of our own eyes and think 'woman'. But I want the BBC to admit they think humans can change sex if that's what they're basing editorial decisions on

Cut and paste. Next!

Seriously, they make out they have had a few concerned responses. Maybe I'll submit an FOI to find out how many. I smell bullshit.

I got the exact same response from the BBC HandsOffMyRights

Condescending too. Someone's having shits snd giggles at women's expense.

They don't address the elephant in the room.

Can I escalate this? Not happy. They welcome all views. Just not those of females discussing female issues.

Also posted on BBC bias thread.

BBC response to my complaint over Sophie Cook and Newsnight.

*We realise you felt it was not appropriate to have Sophie Cook as the sole guest in the section on the Wellcome Collection’s recent treatment of inclusive language.

Sophie Cook was invited to speak as a writer and broadcaster, with experience on the topic of inclusive language. Newsnight welcomes a variety of views and representatives over time. While some may not like what they hear or who offers the opinion, it’s important to consider all perspectives in due time. A broad range of contributors are regularly involved in our items on gender and inclusivity.

Some viewers have expressed concern over her comments on including women of colour, however at this point Sophie was referring to another alternative spelling - ‘womyn’ – and how this was seen by some females to be elitist and exclusive, not ‘women’.*

I don't really want to give money to the Fawcett Society after that 50/50 event.

Witchy Tshirts from the Fawcett Society if anyone is interested.

Seems to be looking to cash in on the old crone market and potential demand for identifying as an old crone.

This.

In the USA apparently lots of toilets in offices and things (schools as well?) have massive gaps around the doors that you can see through quite easily.

US case reported this week.
Awful alleged sexual assault of very young girl:

They see anyone over 30 as a bigot who deserves to die of hypothermia.

🤣

Has anybody made a complaint about this racist misogynist Newsnight programme to the BBC1 programme Points of View?

I've complained to the BBC on this today. Highly sexist and racist.

"At a certain point you realize that attempting to reason or negotiate with people like that is pointless, and the only option is a hard no. "

This^

Stop being nice and just say no.

And that's what men would do

I have no idea why.

This explains why "bathrooms" are such a big deal in USA for lots of women > there is much less privacy already.

Conversely, there seems to be a lack of understandign that in teh UK many womens and girls changing rooms in shops have flamsy curtains that often don't close properly so people can see in. You get "why do you care when you're locked behind a door????". A lot seems to be based in assumptions on the people talking that their experience is universal, and anyone who says different is lying for some reason.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm where have I heard that before

"Bathroom"

It's a fucking TOILET the BOG the LADIES etc

When we say BATHROOM we mean ROOM WITH A BATH OR AT THE VERY LEAST A SHOWER.

The fact that it all sounds so american kind of signals it's all coming from a playbook.

"Women of colour" is a USA term itself that all the TAs use.

I know the USA is big on cultural hegemony but this is getting silly.

Ditto watermelons. Watermelons signify nothing here but watermelons.

Also a weird thing whereby things that are relevant to USA are somehow deemed to be universal experience which is bizarre.

Yes, I noticed that wearing sombreros is held as amongst the most heinous forms of ‘cultural appropriation’ by many student bodies - Mexicans being such a hugely persecuted minority in the UK.

Note none of these groups have included "elderly women" in their "types of women" lists EVER that I have seen.

They see anyone over 30 as a bigot who deserves to die of hypothermia.
