Will Posie be angry with us?

I'm not happy with the forced teaming implied by this thread.
I'm not some sub that sits around waiting to be spanked, and I don't think Posie would be impressed by pp getting all hand wringy and angsty about what she thinks.

No - I don't thimble she'd care. From what I understand women in America have tried for years to be heard. They heard them the other day.

I expect she won't give a shit. That attitude is why she ruffles so many feathers in the first place.

Angry? Has someone on here pranged her car and not owned up?
The rest, she might be bemused by it at the most, but I expect she has better things to think about than people disagreeing with her (newsflash: adults disagree sometimes, even adult human females).

Well I guess that's what I'm asking. I wonder whether she will feel some kind of way about doing all that work only for us to sit around squabblling about it back here at home. I mean, if it were me I would be annoyed. I think that's understandable.

She is entitled to her own opinion and feelings. However, as she isn't head of any official organisation, and MN posters certainly don't constitute an organisation, I don't know how that is relevant to 'us'.

What's that Dworkin quote about feminism being about all women, even the women you disagree with?

That's how I feel about Posie, and that's clearly how Posie feels about feminism.

Posie gets off her arse and DOES something about it. How many of the "Ooo, you shouldn't talk to the nasty right-wingers" brigade actually take any action themselves?

One. Jean Hatchet, whom nobody could call a whiner.

Please, please prove me wrong.

We are women. We are not a hive mind. We are not an ideology.

We see you, poster with horrible username.

why on earth should anyone care if she is or isn't? I really don't think putting Posie, or anyone else for that matter, on a pedestal in this matter, is a good thing to do.

???

I honestly don't see what Posie did wrong in the instance of talking to (well at Sarah) - they were, as pp said, at best rude.

I'm pretty sure I would disagree with Posie about most things but I fully agree with her on this issue.

Ah, I just saw your clarification.

Yeah, I'd be well pissed off for a while to come home to all this nonsense. But she doesn't strike me as the kind of woman to stay down.

Can someone tell me very briefly what she's done?

I'd imagine Posie won't give a toss, and frankly, we should all be more like her in that.

Maybe if we were all a heck of a lot less nice about people who want to remove our sex-based rights, we'd not be in this mess.

Funnily enough, I wasn't a real Posie fan until all this kicked off, and I saw GC women quaking in their boots because she'd been 'mean' to a transwoman. It was truly pathetic. Posie won't mis-sex someone lobbying against women's rights ? So what!

I mean, c'mon. Seriously ? It's ridiculous. They were - at the very most - rude. So bloody what ?

I feel that if I ever sat down with Posie, she and I would find much to argue about. But boy oh boy, she's putting her money where her mouth is at the moment.

‘With us’?

Do you mean the women on Mumsnet, per se?
I think it’s very easy to get right up on that high, high horse and call Posie disingenuous and/or self serving, but i’m inclined to agree with Joani Walsh’s view on Posie’s recent endeavours.

And no large group has a Borg-like hive mind, so lots of people feel that Posie was out of order.

Just my tuppence-worth, of course.

What on earth are you talking about? What didn’t go as planned?

The trip? The trip went as planned.

I should imagine she’s not going to be thrilled about the incessant personal attacks on her and her character that’s happened this week, as last time I checked, she’s human and isn’t some pantomime villain.

Lurking

Wtf?
