I’ve already seen them doing a vote as to whether they should shut down women talking about what a woman. What a mess and so very very sick of this gaslighting.

And in a wholly unexpected move, it appears that a number of chaps and TW are suggesting that the admin group needs more 'diverse' voices. No doubt that'll be the next stage of the take-over once they've kicked out any actual feminists.

Peter Sutcliffe of course. Thanks Delirium.
I'm getting confused with all the similar sounding names.

I'm donating to the Suzy Lamplugh Truzt and Women's Aid.

I think the crowdfunder for RTS on just giving is being investigated.

The Facebook page sounds awful new - like we need more women telling everyone who stops by that sex work is work.

I have just joined the Reclaim These Streets Facebook page, I don't think I'll last long there.

Really shocking for me are the calls to support sex workers. In that women are not supposed to oppose lap dancing clubs because women want to work there.

The feminist anti porn/prostitution position is massively misrepresented as being against the women involved in porn and prostitution. I have never come across a feminist who doesn't support women, just that women in my position think porn and prostitution damages the women involved because it treats them as objects. And that we should aspire to a culture that treats women as people.

And that no jobs should be demeaning. Sexual activity should only ever be undertaken because a woman wants to, not because she needs to do it to earn a living.

And men who pay to leer at naked women or pay to have unwanted sex with women are beneath my contempt. Men can be so much better than this.

The time of Peter Sutcliffe, I don’t think they go back to Jack the Ripper ohholy

Much cuckooing the name.

Seems to be a theme.

Reclaim the streets was a 90s community thing though wasn’t it? Not a woman’s thing. Of course it’s deliberate. Much cuckooing the name.

There is a Reclaim the Streets, Reclaim These Streets and Reclaim the Night which was the original one launched around the time of Jack the Ripper wasn't it?

I'm sure it's deliberate.

(I hear refunds are being issued by Just Giving now.)

Reclaim the night or these streets?
