I know a couple of those academics with cool girl syndrome Grin

Love it!!

WeeBisom · 13/11/2018 23:16

I absolutely lost it at the intersectional feminists saying 'we don't have the spoons'. This is scarily accurate.

Vegilante · 13/11/2018 23:15

Brilliant, hilarious and deftly recounts the whole history of this saga with perfect accuracy.

Kudos to Clever Jane Clare Jones. Thanks OP & mumsnet. You made my night.

Another one reading for the part of "Women" here.

FadingMint · 13/11/2018 23:11

Superb! Thanks!

Brilliant -& yes I read it in Southpark voices too!

I'm trying to think up an appropriate way of setting JCJ's libretto to Gilbert & Sullivan Grin

One of my all time favourite parodies is:

I swear this is the last time I'll go boating with Odysseus
Titanic? Minnow? Edmund F.? His ship's by far the riskiest
He said Let's get some Trojans! so I left without apology
But now I find my sorry butt ensnared in Greek mythology

So here's the tale I'm tellin', Jack (You may conclude I'm sellin' crack):
We had to tramp to Hell 'n' back to drag a tramp named Helen back
But since we started sailin' back, the gods have been their pissiest...
The one thing worse than politics is boating with Odysseus!

[Gods]
IN CASE YOU THINK WE'RE HERE TO ECHO LINES ABOUT ODYSSEUS
WE'RE NOT! FOR REPETITION, GO TRY ROLLING STONES WITH SISYPHUS
REPEAT, WE'RE NOT JUST HERE TO, WE REPEAT, BE REPETITI-TITIOUS (cont.)

Reportage.
Grin
That's depressingly funny.

I do hope you haven't all packed away your witch outfits from last month, this is going to need a LOT of costumes Grin

breastfeedingclownfish · 13/11/2018 22:47

Oh My Word

I've been crying for ten minutes solid at this part:

The Press : The women seem to be making a shit-ton of noise about something? Why are there stickers of cocks everywhere??? What on earth is going on?

Glorious piece of writing

CisMyArse · 13/11/2018 22:32

Best thing I've read in a long time. The TRA's voices sound like the Southpark characters in my head. Utter genius 👏

AnchorMum · 13/11/2018 22:32

Yesssss!!

Hamster00 · 13/11/2018 22:27

This is absolutely AMAZING! Flowers

DeRigueurMortis · 13/11/2018 22:26

Cuntysnark · 13/11/2018 22:23

Absolutely brilliant

JudgeRulesNutterButter · 13/11/2018 22:19

Fucking yes. Applauds

Babdoc · 13/11/2018 22:17

Utterly fabulous! But shocking, because it’s TRUE.

Yuck. Stavvers.

Goposie · 13/11/2018 22:12

Laugh out loud funny! Wish we could pin it somewhere. It would save a lot of time!

stealthsquirrelnutkin · 13/11/2018 22:12

Excellent summing up. Shared with on facebook and twitter.

arranfan · 13/11/2018 22:11

JCJ brings the snark and the smart in equal measure. Grin

And, yes - that is some timeline.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 13/11/2018 22:11

Reader, I married her. Flowers

That is absolutely fucking perfect as a truthful description.

KataraJean · 13/11/2018 22:10

Definitely worth a read. I would make the beginning earlier - 2012 - but that is by the by.
