Thank you, thank you, thank you Maya. I know how hard this is on you and your family. Thank you for doing this for women, and for freedom of thought and expression

Thanks for the thread - I hadn't heard the news. Maya is one very, very brave woman. I'm off to hunt for my spade.

I’m sorry I couldn’t contain myself! I think many of us have been holding our breath waiting for more details on your case.

Yes we have been holding our breath. I feel a sense of urgency about this, women have lost so much ground on so many fronts (including this forum) in the last few years.

Its's also been frustrating to read all the many many misrepresentations that are going around. I hope this time around gets proper BALANCED widespread media coverage, and that more people realize what's really going on.
Thank you so very much for going into the trenches for us Maya.

If you're here Maya - great news, we're with you! #TeamMaya

And when I read the judgement, I had the very Mumsnet thought of ‘is the judge on glue’?!?

My thoughts exactly.

LangSpartacusCleg · 25/01/2020 23:53

I’m so pleased she is appealing. I thought she had made strong, well reasoned arguments. And when I read the judgement, I had the very Mumsnet thought of ‘is the judge on glue’?!?

ThinEndoftheWedge · 25/01/2020 23:48

Good luck Maya and thank you!

Just to point out to any newer posters and lurkers, Maya is one of our own. She was on FWR long before many of us here ( including me) and was a founder of ‘Let Toys be Toys.’ She is a staunch feminist and a genuinely lovely person. I am proud to wield my tiny spade to support her!

Go Maya, you bloody legend!

Quaffy re With my employment lawyer’s hat on....legally it wasn’t a good judgment in my opinion.

Is there any chance a judge would purposely make a judgement that could be questioned, and appealed against in order to create more visibility through conflict?

justicewomen that twitter thread was brilliant - IANAL and it all made sense. What a brilliant writer to make legalise accessible.
