Is Posie Parker still banned?

I love a good old fashioned heated debate. Before people got all precious about you not validating their opinions. Pathetic.

I liked Posie because she would argue. None of this "shut up if you don't agree with me" shite, but honest straightforward disagreement leading to discussion and often (when reasonable) compromise though not with T/MRAs

I used to live next door to a Baptist Minister. He was evangelical, and one day he asked me if I minded him discussing religion with him. I said no, as long as he didn't mind me disagreeing with him. We have had some humdingers of rows over the years; I haven't convinced him about evolution, he hasn't converted me, but it's been great and stimulating and we are still friends.

I suspect if I met Posien a few years ago it might be similar (though as I have got older I agree with her more and more ).

She always was explicit that she was not a feminist.

She had strong views about a lot of things.

I remember having some massive long arguments with her back in the day

She was banned before all this.

For various reasons that some agree with and some don't.

Her old posts are all here if you search. There may well have been threads about it when she was banned. That would be the obvious thing to look at if you want to know.

I think Posie is tremendous. A pint-sized force of nature with real guts and integrity, and a razor sharp mind. She isn't perfect, but then people rarely are.

the username is intriguing isn't it??

I really want to know what that was.

All I can say is the monitors seem to get a more timely response from MNHQ that I ever have!

They're shit hot aren't they Bernard? There's some seriously unhinged posts on this board at the moment

blimey, 3 minutes to deletion. the monitors never blink do they?

The Purists don't like her.

The purists should read more Dworkin then:

Feminism is a political practice of fighting male supremacy on behalf of women as a class, including all the women you don't like, including all the women you don't want to be around, including all the women who use to be your best friends whom you don't want anything to do with any more. It doesn't matter who the individual women are.

It doesn't matter why Posie Parker is banned. She is permanently banned from FWR.
She's gone way beyond here, She doesn't appear to class herself as a Feminist. Her main concern is about the treatment and attempted erasure of women and girls.
Posie is not liked by "Intellectual Feminists" they appear to despise her. And some are extremely vocal about Posie's perceived failings. She is constantly discredited by many of those Intellectual Feminists. Posie is a happy married heterosexual mother of 4 She's noisy, blunt and gives no fucks. She will talk to anyone that will listen, she pulls off stunts that get people talking.
The Purists don't like her.

Oh my! Could Stella Creasy really not define woman in something like 400 goes? I would say that education in Biology should be compulsory up to third level, but many people still know what a man and a woman are without that. They must be really smart people. Genius level really.

I wonder how people who don't know what a girl or woman is manage when they have children. Do they say 'Oh gosh, I couldn't really tell you I had. It is a mystery only the greatest minds could solve".

@testing987654321 But politicians hardly ever dare to say that. Especially Labour/Libdem ones.

But even most of the Tories can't openly define woman. Maybe only Nadine Dories.

Presumably because Stella Creasy didn't define woman. It's hardly difficult "adult human female".

I guess it was.

Well not quite that many. Perhaps that was an exaggeration.

She challenged Stella Creasy 400 times?

It wasn't anything particularly objectionable. I think she challenged her to provide a non circular definition of "woman".

400 times.

Soul she was permanently banned (had been temporarily before) for making a flippant comment on a web chat with Stella Creasy MP. It wasn't anything particularly objectionable. I think she challenged her to provide a non circular definition of "woman".

There's a rule about pronouns... I think it may have been that. It's an easy one to fall foul of when referring to certain people- Jessica Yaniv, for example.

Hi all, sorry to bump but I want to know and can't seem to find the info anywhere, why was Posie banned? What did she post that was against the rules/was it something she posted?

Oh thanks for checking @Malahaha I thought I saw something on her Instagram saying there was a ban on FB. I think she's banned from posting but didn't check.
