Alex didn’t seem to give a fuck

I don't think their view of the world is very wide TBH

Great job, Rosa - calm, clear, reasonable, logical. Excellent from Jane too, I thought, esp the audible exasperation with “cis”.

@kesstrel Might you consider editing the title of the thread please to include that it features interviews with Professor Alex Sharpe and Professor Rosa Freedman as part of 'Sex & Gender' series?

THis series on Woman's Hour is really important & with things moving quickly, it would enable more people to find the thread.

MN have been happy to do this before in similar circumstances.

The difference in those two speakers was so profound. Alex sounded like a confused sixth former - no wonder they didn't want to debate with a professor in public.

littlbrowndog · 26/11/2018 10:49

You know Jane linked it to the previous bit about violence to women and girls the 86000 that were killed in 2017 to the fears that we might have
But Alex never even gives that a thought that we might be afraid of male bodied ppl as Rosa said
Alex didn’t seem to give a fuck

Well, Rosa cleared a lot up for me and I thought I knew what was what Grin

Brilliant. Needs to be a transcript too!!

LikeDust · 26/11/2018 10:48

That was hard to follow. It was very rude and controlling for Alex to refuse to answer a question and decide what to speak about. So disrespectful to the host.

catsnoozing · 26/11/2018 10:47

Well done Rosa. Got a lot of points across in plain English. Alex used so much jargon it was hard to tell what she was saying and when she did explain it still made no sense!

arranfan · 26/11/2018 10:47

As AnyaBike says:

On Woman’s Hour now, AlexSharpe64 and GoonerProf, separately, because Alex, a human rights barrister apparently, is not prepared to debate this issue with anyone holding a different view.

Ah well, now back to the ironing Smile

Budgieinaberet · 26/11/2018 10:46

Actually I want to thank Alex, for peaking a few more people Grin

hipsterfun · 26/11/2018 10:46

Professor Alex Sharpe? Professor?!

Nothing has meaning any more, does it? Sad

Budgieinaberet · 26/11/2018 10:46

Jane and Rosa Gin Flowers

R0wantrees · 26/11/2018 10:45

Brilliant interview Rosa. Star & thank you

Hopefully someone will transcribe both parts.

littlbrowndog · 26/11/2018 10:45

That Alex was just crap and afraid to debate with an intelligent woman

dragongirlx · 26/11/2018 10:45

Rosa was brilliant and very clear

Ooh! Maybe Alex did Rosa a favour! Whole sentences, whole thought processes!

BoreOfWhabylon · 26/11/2018 10:45

Fabulous! Well done Rosa and well done Jane!

MrsWinkly · 26/11/2018 10:44

I absolutely bloody love Rosa.
So calm, clear, logical, knowledgeable.
What a woman.

littlbrowndog · 26/11/2018 10:44

Feck Rosa great

arranfan · 26/11/2018 10:44

I give up I can not type fast enough.

Thank you for what you've done. (Hearing loss, so I can't do radio or non-captioned video.)

BoreOfWhabylon · 26/11/2018 10:44

So clear! They want to take away sex as a characteristic!

As for all of those implicit claims about how grand things are for girls and women and these fears are from GC feminists.

I'm sorry I missed the One Law 4 All event in London as it lays out just how many front women and girls are fighting on in the UK:
