Seriously if you are refering to my comment sometimes it seems FWR can make a conspiracy out of anything,
It is about the fact that WPUK have written a gushing intro about these are the women apparently leading the fight against violence against women and yet on frequent threads FWR commentators are endlessly going on about why doesn't anyone who works for women's services stand up and say they should be for women, as allowed under the EA.
The whole sector has drifted into misusing the word gender when it should be sex (see Pragna Patel guest post littered with the word gender) and it is this that as much as anything that has allowed the whole narrative of twaw and should be allowed into women's refuges.
Dont forget the one of the ironies of Rise in Brighton loosing its funding was that they have always included TW in their "women's services".
It doesn't help anyone deal with the reality of what is going on to lapse into double speak.
And the brutal honesty is that those who created and developed these services have long since retired, never expecting that what they established would have become what it is. By those who took over their work.
And what's all this about annoymous posters. Must of mumsnet dont use their own names.
And as the meeting hasn't happened yet you have no idea what will be said.
If there is an honest discussion about how most women's groups, particularly those in Scotland have accepted the TWAW narrative, because funders forced them into it, it will be really interesting to hear how they are going to turn back that clock. Especially if they took funding to provide services to TW.
Dont forget this has been going on far longer than WPUK existed, and far longer than mumsnet talk.
If they were really going to address this issue as the sector wide problem it is they would have someone from the WRC there, and why they went ahead with the Why Women campaign that most women's groups were expected to sign up to?
Being a feminist doesn't mean being a starry eyed fan.
What would be really interesting is to have had a panel of front line workers in refuges.
