Just spotted this in the New Year Honours list:

Excellent to see her getting some positive recognition!

Someone sounds jealous. Massive sour grapes there, not a good look.

And just like clockwork....

New Year Honours - Professor Stock, OBE

Well done Professor Stock! That is excellent news!

Beamur · 31/12/2020 18:45

Congratulations to her. Well done.

EwwSprouts · 31/12/2020 18:43

Well deserved. A prof of integrity.

TheAdventuresoftheWishingChair · 31/12/2020 18:36

Amazing. Excellent news.

nachthexe · 31/12/2020 18:03

I am utterly thrilled. Well done, doc. A small note of recognition for bravery and standing up for principles against tyranny.

Sexnotgender · 31/12/2020 17:48

I saw that earlier. Excellent news.

Lots of unhappy people on twitter😂

Hopeishere52 · 31/12/2020 17:48

Awesome recognition of great academic work.

A list of all recipients here assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/948421/New_Year_Honours_List_2021.pdf

Woudn't it be great to see some more nominations from people like KS who really deserve them,

carlaCox · 31/12/2020 17:41

Also I should say that although I'm not in favour of the honours system I'm grateful to Kathleen for accepting the OBE as, as she said herself, it is symbolic of the massive effort and progress made by women on this issue. No shade from me Prof Stock!

@carlaCox

Trans activists are complaining about anyone accepting an Order of the British Empire

I'm not normally one to celebrate honours lists (on the unlikely chance I'd be offered one I like to think I'd turn it down) but this is quite funny. I wonder what Baroness Hunt of Bethnal Green or Michael Cashman CBE think about accepting titles.

Silly, when Baroness Hunt or Stephen Whittle accept an OBE its obviously IRONIC and a protest statement.

When a normal boring female accepts it it's obviously IMPERIALISM and evidence of secret networks of privilege. Kathleen Stock is totally a time-travelling plant from the future rightwing-fascist-lesbian-christian borg, come to vanquish the brave academics fighting for the rights of penises to go where they please.

Trans activists are complaining about anyone accepting an Order of the British Empire. Or accepting an award from the anarchronistic and corrupt UK honours system.

Stephen Whittle OBE is yet to comment. Same for Sir Ian McKellen.

@ChattyLion

There’s nothing stopping anyone else identifying as having been given an OBE..

Did Hines really not notice that Stock was citing example after example of other women being censored, not a personal whinge?

I think reading and comprehending a thread of that length is probably a little much to ask of Sally Hines.

Even if she got someone to help she still wouldn't have a fucking clue what constitutes genuine irony.

Sally Hines isn't happy. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh

I knew it was worth writing that letter to Santa.

Sally's tweet. A classic of the genre. The replies are good.

Congratulations! Star

How do you nominate someone for an OBE? Could we do this for some of our brilliant women of the year?

Siablue · 31/12/2020 15:57

It is well deserved and the severity of the backlash shows how much she deserves it. One of the people I saw who was outraged by it was a professor at the same university as her.

I am sure that all those wittering on about imperialism would have no such concerns were they to be offered an honour by the Queen and are seething that she has got one and not them.

@Mollyollydolly

Sally Hines isn't happy. Honestly it's made my day Kathleen getting this award.

What's not to be happy about? Grin

What is she saying btw?
