#AskDanielRadcliffe

I was driving fast, hit a bump, and felt something jiggle "up there". I bet Daniel can tell me what it is!!

I like this tweet on the hashtag

Has a menstruator ever been President of the U.S? I just googled and all I could find are cites saying all 45 have been men, but that means nothing. Can someone plz help me unlock this mystery?

As men menstruate it is very likely that many men menstrated will presidenting. Perhaps they can tell us how they managed their periods whilst on Airforce 1 if they ran out of tampons in the air on the way somewhere with no shops handy?

Or are you actually just saying "no feminism until we've solved all other global inequality".

Pretty sure that's what she's saying. Unless we practice the kind of "feminism" that recognises the need to put women's rights aside for the greater good.

It's just 'stop pushing to the front girls, let everyone else go ahead'.

Nah, mate, you're good. I'm happy pushing to the front. Only took me 4 decades to work out I could, so I don't plan on going back to the dark old days.

I’ve seen some horrifying stuff on that hashtag tonight.

Soooo is there an end date set for BLM then? Maybe we can work out a rota with a month each? BLM - June, Pride - July, Feminism - August (best to squeeze it in before the schools go back, don't you think?) Or are you actually just saying "no feminism until we've solved all other global inequality".

You are properly repeating yourself smile

I know that it's a delicate subject but we are all about supporting mental health here, so can I ask if you have looked at the possible causes that mean you forget you have already said the same thing something a few minutes ago?
Just a suggestion.

Here’s Rose of Dawn (transwomen) with a run down of how many Pride/LGBT celebration/remembrance/visibility Days/Weeks/Months there are now.

Do you think women should only speak up for their own rights when there is a free day in the diary? Only, we already got told to budge up for transwomen and non binary femmes on International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day.

Maybe we could have one of those boring days between Xmas and new year when the weather is rubbish and no one can afford to do anything?

TWAW is an article of faith. That's all there is to it. My feminism centres females. I don't need to listen to her opinion on theology, either.

I'm pretty sure you won't bother.

And you'd be right. I don't care what she says about female v trans issues. I vaguely know what she thinks and I don't see why her view is more important than any other feminist.

waited to make it all about her views at a time where BAME issues and gay pride wasnt occurring. But I guess it's all about the Trans issue....

Holy shit, you pulled the old ‘sorry ladies, we don’t have time for you until after the election/war/revolution. Get on with stuffing those leaflets/working in the munitions factory/cooking our tea and we’ll see if there is a bit of time to squeeze your concerns on the agenda next month/year/decade’.

Same patriarchal shit, just wearing a frock this time!

But I bet you won’t bother. Bahahaha.

MN can check? Hahahahaha.
G’wan. Go give ‘em shit in Lipstick Alley and tell them they exude white privilege.

From a poster on the Lipstick Alley thread:

The UK radfems don't play.

Maybe pride should have been postponed this year to stop it distracting from BLM? Or maybe BLM could have waited til Pride was over before protesting? Or maybe we can give attention to 2 causes, but 3 is too many? BLM + pride = fine. BLM + pride + feminism = head exploding from too much activism. If we have to wait for pride to finish before we can advocate for women's rights, can they at least keep it to a single month, instead of the 6 it went on for last year? If we can only take up 1 cause at a time then they can't monopolise half the bloody year for it.

Also, delighted to have found Lipstick Alley off the back of this thread. How wonderful to find such a huge community of BAME women that are Gender Critical. There's even a whole thread on there applauding the #askDan joke. Great stuff. Why not head on over smile and accuse them all of being white feminists.

"White hetero female and rich"

3 of these things confer privaledge. 1 of these things confers disadvantage. JKR can speak from her position within a disadvantaged group on the disadvantage she has faced as a member of that group. Her place in that group is not negated by her privaledge in other areas. Surely as someone who has followed the BLM conversation closely you understand how intersections of privaledge and disadvantage work?

Sorry, Smile - you misunderstood me. I believe that ANY woman should be able to talk about women's rights, at any time. Don't you agree?

What exactly has Daniel Radcliffe offered in research to this area? Jack shit, as far as I'm aware. Yet, he is as entitled to his opinion as anybody else, including JK Rowling, whom I happen to agree with in this instance.
Is that alright with you?

The # is a thing of wonder. Some extraordinary questions that made me snigger and some which are gut wrenching in the way they highlight the issues for us as women.

I might be wrong about this, smile but I'm pretty sure there isn't finite space on Twitter. BLM and Gay Pride can go on as they were, no one's stopping them.

Smile, have you been off to the bogs for a line of coke to keep you going? Good chap.

I believe women should be able to talk about their rights, and their biology, at any time. Don't you agree, Smile ?
