She's mainly being pulled apart in the comments due to, you know, lying.

No doubt in my mind that she's getting puberty blockers and the contraceptive pill mixed up.

Such a shame as I have been following her since my early 20's and found her feminism very accessible back then.

Am I being unreasonable to say she's talking nonsense??

OMG - has anyone seen how this has 'taken off' on twitter??

It's hilarious Grin - people posting outrageous 'memories' of how PBs were used in their youth.

Love the comment Mark Robson makes about the bee incident in the Junkee website article.

Team Bee all the way, mate.

I just imagined the amount of fucks Mark Ronson must give about this.

It didn't take long.

@MelissaVonStressel

JJ's doubled down on Twitter and clarified the whole bee-dramas as "bee chases, not stings" although why being chased by a bee is at all worthy of note I have no idea Hmm
She also gaslit / bored Mark Ronson into submission about the ‘killer bees’

Wasn't she run over (at least once) whilst escaping bee attacks (not sure if it was a swarm of killer bees)? Or so she has said.
UnderHisAye · 15/04/2021 15:36

Jameela is not as young as she thinks she is.

So true. I think she's 17 in her head. I mean, I know I was a complete arse when I was 17, for example.

Most of us were expected to put up and shut up about heavy periods in the 90s. If you were lucky you got a prescription for the contraceptive pill.

That was my experience but it's been the same as an adult - male or female GP - most I've every got is pill perscription or, as I age, hard sell for Mirena coil which I don't want.

My mother had hysterectomy about my age now because she suffered so - if she was in same situation now I don't think she qualify.

I think it's only since 2000 I started to hear about puberty blockers with the whole idea becoming more and more mainstream since then.

Ringbinger · 15/04/2021 15:07

I’m hardly rewriting your post Need. Look at your choice of wording. “Well bred fillies”? Hmm The scorn and judgment drips off you.

I only know of one girl and her family at the school but she are the opposite of what you’re describing.

Needmoresleep · 15/04/2021 15:03

Jameela is not as young as she thinks she is.

I am assuming that QC girls are still very urban. TopShop Oxford Circus in their lunch hour?

(I will confess that the only girls I know who were there recently both left, actually both for co-eds, essentially after having outgrown the school.)

toffeebutterpopcorn · 15/04/2021 14:56

Aw the girls aren't like that - well not the ones I bump into in Waitrose!

Needmoresleep · 15/04/2021 14:55

Ringbinder, rewrite my post if you want. I have no doubt girls at academic private schools with a similar demographic were also prescribed the pill for "heavy periods".

Why do you think Jameela's memory is so conveniently inaccurate?

And yes. toffee. And not what parents would have wanted for their well bred fillies, many of whom, even in her day, would have been expected to marry well. .

toffeebutterpopcorn · 15/04/2021 14:50

It would have been a bit of a News of the Word/Sunday Sport ‘news’paper scandal report ‘op-err-missus - girls at posh top girls school taking gender-bending drugs’ (or some such)

Ringbinger · 15/04/2021 14:49

@needmoresleep If that was your point, then that’s what you should have said. Girls at academically selective schools also were and are on the pill btw.

Needmoresleep · 15/04/2021 14:43

Read as you will. My point really was that it is a small, albeit very posh, school.

Not typical at all, even in London. It would be astounding if loads of these girls were on puberty blockers. But not that surprising if several of her year group were on the pill.

I think she is confused.

Ringbinger · 15/04/2021 14:37

I was also coming on to point out that Jameela went to a small, posh, but not very academically selective girl's school, just north of Oxford Street.

@Needmoresleep

Really not sure why it’s relevant that the school is “not academically selective”? Especially since most of us think JJ is full of bullshit here? Let’s not be snobby bitches about those that weren’t at academically selective schools. You’re saying that some parents may have put the more “sociable” girls on the pill because they were having sex. Again, there seems a whiff of judgment and looking down at the “sociable” girls here from you.

waterlego · 15/04/2021 10:55

Jamil is super woke and doesn’t appear to be very bright either. It’s not a great combination.

Sophoclesthefox · 15/04/2021 10:51

@sleepyhead

I'm sure she'll age into the wisdom of Naomi Wolf.
Pfffffttttt!!🤣🤣🤣
MedusasBadHairDay · 15/04/2021 10:46

@UnderHisAye

I think given how popular Mooncups are now that we can safely put that 'few teaspoons' nonsense to rest!
Pretty certain I read somewhere that this measurement is because they actually don't measure everything that comes out when you menstruate, just the blood bit, which it turns out isn't necessarily the majority of the fluid.

@HotTomatoes

I hope live long enough to see JJ become (the dreaded!) middle aged woman. I am 99% certain she is going to cringe to the high heavens at her prolific social media nonsense spouting.
I dunno, she's in her mid 30s, I can't see her coming over entirely sensible in the next decade or so. She's only got worse over the last few years really.
