I have just seen this on the www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/a3518988-Rachel-McKinnon-weightlifter-and-Abigail-Shrier#prettyPhoto thread posted by Clitherow and felt it needed a separate mention. If I was on twitter I'd follow him!

Don't know if this link has come through - never done this before, but rapper Zuby breaks British women's deadlifting record (whatever that is - sport not my thing) whilst identifying as a woman - pisses off Rachel Mckinnon and gains 2500 followers in 24 hours

He's not wrong about feminism having bad PR.
Being a bright guy, he might be able to figure out why that is...

More (lady) balls than Millwall 😂😂

Zuby is braver than Milwall FC Grin

Waitrose will be full of middle aged women in Zuby t shirts soon
Grin Just peed a little, didn't do enough of those damn pelvic floor exercises.

Zuby isn't a feminist because he thinks that women in the Western world are all liberated, and also that feminism has bad PR

Sounds like me in my early 20s, so I'll cut him some slack on that one. Plus, men don't get to say when feminism is or is not needed, even if they identify as women some or all of the time Smile

MrsTerryPratcett · 28/02/2019 20:21

Zuby, I bought your stuff on Apple.

Don't spend the penny all in one place now.

Ahahahhh. Oh this made me smile. Sometimes I think we are all going to hell in a handcart then I see young people like Zuby and Angelos and I think we might just have a chance after all.

Intelligence, humour, satire and the British lack of truck with bullshit will defeat this. 💪

TowelNumber42 · 28/02/2019 15:44

Litereally meh, they are on the wrong side of history. They'll be deleting history like mad in a few months time I reckon.

litereally · 28/02/2019 15:37

Got "called out" by a former friend over retweeting Zuby's stunning and brave world record attempt which got ugly, so all these comments are making me feel a bit like I am not a humourless evil disappointment secret right-winger who only "does this" because glinner has brainwashed me, and maybe, just maybe, there are people who get it.

Lamaha · 28/02/2019 15:08

Lamaha, we have friends in common so wondering if we may be FB friends too. If you ever post on FB about all this I will support you!

Messaged you. I am not yet ready to go GC live on my own account but I like and comment on the GC posts of others all the time!
I suppose it's about all my old US liberal writer friends who have gone full pro-trans and would immediately de-friend me if I came out. I've known and interacted with some of them for over a decade and have shared so many important moments... I prefer to be silent and watch. It's also a good way to gauge which way the wind is blowing over there.

rosablue · 28/02/2019 15:02

Is Zuby ever a Ze or a Zu (or indeed a Za, Zi or Zo if those exist?)

Could have quite an alliterative ring to it to identify to on a Saturday perhaps...?

I'd never heard of him before, I'm listening to his music and love it!

LangCleg · 28/02/2019 14:25

My teenagers will be MORTIFIED. I do love trolling them.

Ha! I spent yesterday trolling mine about this with slay, queen.

They say they're never TERFing with me again!

HawayMan · 28/02/2019 14:24

Have any media outlets reported this story yet?

BettyDuMonde · 28/02/2019 14:07

TowelNumber42 · 28/02/2019 14:00

I've been meaning to broaden my musical horizons.

I have a horrific day of work stuff for the next two days but you know what, I'm going to spend every spare minute learning to Karaoke one of Zuby/Zubella's tracks then play it through Spotify loudly while dancing round the kitchen singing along on Saturday.

My teenagers will be MORTIFIED. I do love trolling them. I am quite good at bump and grind. I think I shall spare them that. Unless they give me shit over their housework and homework. Then I'm dancing myself down low. Mwah ha ha. Husband will die laughing.

BettyDuMonde · 28/02/2019 13:57

It’s ok, Zuby is a he on Thursdays.

HawayMan · 28/02/2019 13:54

Oh no! I didn't mean to misgender him/ her! I wish MN let us edit posts!

HawayMan · 28/02/2019 13:53

He's debating with the TRAs and destroying them! Grin

BettyDuMonde · 28/02/2019 13:34

I believe Zuby’s sister has already told him about his new Mumsnet fanbase 😂
