My new site

Hi Glinner, kudos for the wonderful interview with Dr Jane Clare Jones yesterday evening.
I thought I'd click on it and view it later, but ended up watching the whole thing through, nodding away, as she articulated everything that I cant.
In my job, I cant afford to be out as GC and I feel cowardly for that.
Thank you for giving a platform to someone else to say it for me.

@Glinner - thank you for the great articles!

I'm in!

Thanks Glinner.

I think it's a case of (in Star Wars speak) "if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"

Yup, @glinner website redirecting to mermaids, they are soooooo freckin sinister....

Thanks @Glinner for all your commitment. You were fighting for our spaces before I even realized there was a fight.

you can sign up for a free subscription - if you have paid then you can commen t

I've subscribed and I want to say thank you for making it available to us unwaged. I don't need the comments function I just want to keep up with what you and JL are writing and being activist about.

I look forward to visiting. I just want to say that your words in a recent essay: (I paraphrase) "...think that the rights of women and girls is theirs to give away " had me uncharacteristically moist about the eyes last night. This is what kills me, the conflating of privilege with allyship. At women's and girls' expense.
A woman whose DC I teach, lives in a refuge in our city, on the other side of the country to where her violent husband lives. She is so nervous around men (as are her DC) that she cannot meet with our very gentle head teacher indoors, but requests a chaperone and a quiet spot in the playground. She's just one of many women, mangled by men's violence, whom I have worked with, whose rights are thoughtlessly bartered by those to whom it makes no odds whatsoever.

@Glinner

Are you aware that glinner.com redirects to Mermaids website?

Looks like that could be an abusive domain name registration. Chances are you can get that taken down under UDRP policy.

Thanks, Blank Times
If you want to quote someone just use before and after their words.*
Just practising!
I appreciate the help with this. Think I will subscribe to a few things, especially Mumsnet which has really saved my sanity recently.

@Glinner I can't seem to see any of the posts! I've signed up as a free subscriber but it keeps saying that the content is for paying subscribers only... a glitch?

@Pudmyboy

My message was meant to appear under Dianaslasso!

No way to organise that on these boards, posts appear in the order they are posted.

If you want to quote someone just use * before and after their words.

Otherwise there's a quote function for paid members.

if you want a poster to know you've mentioned them use @ then their username, they receive an email from MN to say they've been mentioned in a post. You will have done as I used @ before your username in this post, to show you how that works.

I hope you're doing well Graham. Do make sure that you're looking out for yourself.

As a MAN and a DOG

And be quadruply more important than women.

Thanks! I’ll have a look

Thanks Graham. Following you on FB too. I honestly don't know how you keep going and how you've kept going. I find it upsetting and exhausting and terrifying and I've only been watching Twitter since JKR's tweet at the start of June.

Should I mention I’m not a man. Nor a dog.

Before I even knew there was a fight you were fighting it for me. Thanks Glinner. I’ll go and have a look.

Forgot to say thanks for all your work to date!

I was just wondering today where you would pop up! Honestly though, you are well out of that vipers pit.

I know we need to get the word out there blah blah etc etc but Twitter deserves to be hanging by its final finger and have it stamped on by the woke brigade it helped create, how i will cackle.

I don't think you're a bother to the Mumsnet universe. I know you get chastised for intruding on female spaces, but only an idiot would conflate penises being bared to naked women with men typing comments on an online forum. I don't think anyone here thinks you are intruding and no-one is more aware than we are of the sacrifices you have made by taking the stand you have. You seem to be the only male who has had the same amount of vitriol aimed at you as women. If Mumsnet was a toilet, I have to be honest (and I'll probably take a whupping for this), I would be inviting you in.

Thanks Graham 👍
