It increasingly feels like we should treat witch hunts against individual women as attacks on women as a class.

I thought women here might appreciate a thread to show their support for Allison. I don't know her personally, but I believe in all women's right to free speech.

I stand with Alison.

Thanks for the Touchnote recommendation. I have just sent two postcards: one to Allison and one to Judy Khan.

I stand with Allison also and am just about to send her a card.

I stand with Alison too. Will send a postcard tomorrow. Feels like something has finally stared though so hopeful

The way things are going, Tinsel, two postcards is not going to cut it. 2020 may well be the year of card-writing for the cause - and more...

I stand with Allison.

I'm against witch hunts. I do take issue with the idea of women as a class (I am one).

I wonder if this poster misunderstands the use of class in this context. It doesn’t mean class in a social hierarchical sense, but as a synonym for ‘category’ or ‘group.’

BarbaraStrozzi · 27/10/2019 13:49

Yes, I stand with her too.

If JustGiving have weaselled out of hosting their fund, could they just set up a way to donate directly on their own website? Have they got a website yet??

TalkingintheDark · 27/10/2019 13:44

I stand with Allison. Amazing integrity and courage.

Bienchen · 27/10/2019 13:34

Standing with Allison. So sick of the witch hunts!

Cismyfatarse1 · 27/10/2019 13:25

I always send postcards via TouchNote. Everyone can read them and the point is made multiple times. I know the cards sent to Joan McApline helped enormously.

MrGsFancyNewVagina · 27/10/2019 13:24

Excellent idea, GetbusywiththeFizzee.

Matereality · 27/10/2019 13:15

Good idea to send a postcard so that everyone can read it. I will do that.

birdsdestiny · 27/10/2019 13:09

I stand with Alison. Sending card.
It is interesting to watch the fury, it certainly seems to have rattled some people.

It would be interesting to debate whether women are a class on a different thread.

Bloody awful.

I stand with Allison!!

GetbusywiththeFizzee · 27/10/2019 12:19

Sending a postcard rather than in an envelope so the whole office can read it Smile

FadingStar · 27/10/2019 12:17

For men like Jones, what women need and want matters not. Men are king.

As a gay women the level of cognitive dissonance and tantrum throwing from LGBTxyz123 media both astounds me and saddens me.

These people don't seem to grasp the the fact that just because something doesn't include you it doesn't automatically make it ANTI- you. Its like they have zero critical thinking skills.

I stand with Allison Bailey and the LGB alliance.

Woko haram can gurn themselves into human prunes for all I care.

The chambers don’t have to say that they will investigate anything. They were responding to someone who doesn’t even have the balls to put his real name to his social media account. It was a totally spurious complaint anyway with zero evidence that she had said anything remotely controversial besides being a co-founder of an LGB group. If I co-founded an anti-racist group and a load of white pride idiots on twitter tagged my employer and said I was anti-white, would you expect them to even respond, let alone launch an investigation? Of course not.

She has had death threats and they have made no public statement. It’s very clear where their loyalties lie and they have fuck all to do with upholding anyone’s rights and everything to do with money.
