Ayann is much more than this article, but if you're not familiar with her, here's something she wrote about J.K -

Wow - that sounds amazing. I love JB and AHA. BB is a total tool who will be utterly outclassed.

Interesting that the men (excuse me if I am misgendering - but I didn’t see their pronouns) are against the motion. Men get cancelled less. Men - including BB cancel women for saying what a woman is. It’s almost as if people really did actually know the difference!

That’s brave of Billy given how outclassed he’s going to be intellectually by the rest of the line up.

Ayaan's book The Caged Virgin is brilliant.

She is a survivor of childhood FGM, she renounced Islam, fled Sudan and took Dutch nationality, and has a Fatwa hanging over her - and this is not an idle threat; her collaborator on a film about this, Theo van Gough, was gunned down and murdered in the street in the Netherlands. Politically right-of-centre, having started on the left, and pro-free speech, she's a thorn in the side for the Woke; she should win their oppression Olympics hands down, but she's politically on the other side, and they can't get their heads round this.

Billy Bragg on the same panel as her and JB - I predict fireworks! This could be fun.

It's apart of it, but the event is about broader cancel culture.

Always good to have men who are happy to explain what feminism is to women involved in debates about women's rights Hmm
