Featherstone and Ali are long-term friends. Ali campaigned hard for Featherstone in the 2015 election, which Featherstone lost. Ali then stood against Catherine West, the woman who beat Featherstone in the 2017 election.

Featherstone is not so civil on twitter to women who aren't her mates.

Not just pictures of the cock - same price for ‘action’ shots. Bargain. Not fetish, not at all. Ughhhh.

I am really becoming very tired of being told off for the "vilification" of transwomen by women who call other women "terfs".

This is a woman who told us she didn't want our vote unless we support gender neutral toilets ffs - how, on any planet, is taking away provisions for women a feminist thing to do??

Presumably Featherstone knows what Ali campaigns about and got her OBE for? Has Featherstone thought why the use of the word 'woman' matters in such work? Or does she really not care about supporting those women and girls?

Birdsfoottrefoil · 22/10/2019 10:24

What was the context? I can’t see the link between the tweets.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 22/10/2019 10:17

Arnold that's very true.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 22/10/2019 10:14

why is it seen as an obligation ?

Because we're supposed to be everyone's mum. Even grown men's.

Why is it up to women to give support to a group pf people wholly unconnected to them ? Fine to support whatever cause one wants, obv, but why is it seen as an obligation ?

truthisarevolutionaryact · 22/10/2019 10:09

It's only ever about one group - and that's not women.

CharlieParley · 22/10/2019 09:52

A lot of conjecture in those six words. Nimco didn't even say who had objected to her use of the word women!

ErrolTheDragon · 22/10/2019 09:27

"Vilification"? Where?Confused

SirVixofVixHall · 22/10/2019 09:22

“Support” ?
