A moment of pause to venerate Janice Turner

Janice not Janet. No idea where Janet came from

Janice is brilliant.

I went off the Guardian a couple of years ago as it was consistently setting my Woke-dar off with massive bleeping.

I will be buying myself a subscription to the Times in the new year because of JT.

Another one who got a Times sub because of Janet. I heard this morning that JHB's breakfast talk radio programme has gained 17% new listeners. I'm one due to her non woke interview style. No special soft voice for transwomen from her. All will be interrogated and subdued!

Sod it, I have just subscribed to The Times on the strength of Janice's articles and other decent coverage on this issue in the paper

What has the Guardian done to itself? It's no longer fit for purpose as a newspaper.

I don’t buy the Guardian anymore. I buy the Times because of Janice and the generally higher quality of the writing.

I did buy a copy of the Spectator the other day but was relieved to find that James Delingpole continues to be a knob so the world is still turning on it’s axis.

I love the way they are begging for money after each article. At some point I might email them to say that I'll give them some once they start respecting women. Suspect they don't want my evil terf money anyway.

My period is coming on. If all we are now is our periods, shall I start talking to men about it? Been protecting their sensitive ears thus far.

"I wonder how many women have taken out subscriptions to the Times because of Janice's journalism? Now that would be an interesting stat for the things MNers buy thread."

I did.

Janice you are a star.

And yes, you're why I took out a Times sub.

And furthermore, fuck off Guardian.

I don't Eppur, but I guess some are so this still needs tackling. They are in dire straits, I believe, so I can't imagine they'll last much longer.

Yay to Janice for taking no bullshit!

Can anyone cheer me up by telling me how badly they are doing financially ? They need to go bust, ideally whilst owing Owen Jones some salary payments.

I say this as a once devoted Guardian and Observer reader.

why does anybody still read the Guardian? Apart from the army of the Woke

Surely the word they are looking for is mxnstruators?

Janice is Brilliant.

Gobsmacking levels of bullshittery.

It could have been worded ‘women who menstruate’ but because the rest of the article had no attempt to erase women, I’m not so sure this is a clear case of trans politics at large

Me neither.

But the G can still fuck off.

Brava Janice - total shero.

I now have a Times sub, entirely due to her fantastic journalism

Also it’s not even an accurate write up. The survey asked women, some of whom had never had a period and therefore were not menstruators. Those who had were asked about period pain - now or in the past - ie including those who were once mensturators but are no longer. The catch all term for these people is women.

Does the Guardian need a revision course on Venn diagrams.

This is a bollocks and has made me delurk to comment.

I just made a complaint to the reader's editor: www.theguardian.com/info/2014/sep/12/-sp-how-to-make-a-complaint-about-guardian-or-observer-content

Arguing that it contravenes the editorial code under section 12. Discrimination, which frustratingly talks about "gender" instead of "sex", but does mention "perjorative" language.

Shame it says "individual" too, and they'll prob reject it on those grounds, but I am so sick of this shit, not letting it go any more

I just read the article and it does say ‘women and their petiods’ many times and only once says “asked 548 menstruators”

It's because the tweets from the Guardian publicising the article only refer to 'menstruators'

It is dehumanising. I menstruate. I'm not a menstruator. I'm a woman.

If they were reporting on something to do with bowel cancer would they say 'shitters....'? They bloody wouldn't and they know exactly why.

And this stupid word is supposedly kind and considerate to men. Yet it just makes me think of girls around the world who have to go and live in horrible dirty huts every time they have their peiods and the girls who get told they're unclean and are ostracised every single month for years of their lives. The girls who are treated like animals.

We should be going in the direction of destigmatising periods rather than this.

For those that can't read the poem it's here to print off.

Janice Turner is fabulous and I adore her.

The Guardian on the other hand are a bunch of woke misogynist fuds, I wouldnae gie them a lick o' ma shite !

Can someone tweet that Irishchild poem to Janice.
