How strange that we have to have an advertisement to sell a fact instead of the normal fantasy peddled by marketing in the past! Well done The Times.

EverythingDelegated · 19/07/2021 17:22

Yes, I used to subscribe to the Guardian online and buy the I at the weekend. Cancelled both and now subscribe to The TImes instead.

CarpeVitam · 19/07/2021 17:21

Bravo The Times! Who'd have thought that stating a biological fact would be such cause for celebration! 🎉

@ahoyshipmates

Of course it won't be long before they start arguing the toss over the word 'female'.

What we now need in tomorrow's paper is the dictionary definition for 'Man' - adult human male.

That’s a good idea, however what male group would pay for it?
Rhannion · 19/07/2021 17:18

Oh that’s great, going to buy and subscribe! Well done to the women who paid for it and thank you

Wow

CardinalLolzy · 19/07/2021 17:15

Interesting to see what's allowed to be printed. Remember the "I heart JK Rowling" billboard at Edinburgh that was taken down because "too political"?

@MouseontheLouse

OP could have been clearer. At least the Times was willing to run the advert, that's something.

Hope they don't issue a grovelling apology.

Sorry. Got so excited I forgot to put that bit. Either way, at least they've printed it - paid for or not. Transactivists can't make them delete it.

If it helps to shine some sunlight, I'm all for it.

Another one who moved from the Independent and Guardian over to the Times online.. Better journalism, great comments from others - as well as actually being able to comment, unlike previously where very one sided pieces would be printed and then comments turned off.

Yes I ditched the Guardian some time ago. I subscribe to the Times because their coverage has f self ID has been excellent. Also the Spectator. So disappointed in the left - can't vote Labour anymore.

@PandorasMailbox

I know several people who've binned their Guardian subs to join the Times.
I’ve done this gladly
TalkingtoLangClegintheDark · 19/07/2021 16:17

That is absolutely bloody marvellous!

Well done those women. Hooray!

Thelnebriati · 19/07/2021 16:17

Cue hysterical SM claims about the cost and what the money could have been spent on in 3...2...1...

Mumtwoboys90 · 19/07/2021 16:14

im subscribing now just because of that. Love it

TalkingOutYerArse · 19/07/2021 16:09

Excellent work Posie/For Women Scotland Grin

I subscribed to the Times online earlier this year. The teen/twenty something/thirty something me would never have considered it. I was a Guardian reader for 30+ years but, like the Labour party, it has gone weird and doesn’t resonate with me anymore.

CarlottaValdez · 19/07/2021 15:59

It’s an advert though - not an article or a political statement.

Times is the same group as the (thankfully now defunct) news of the world. It’s not a feminist organisation.

1WayOrAnother2 · 19/07/2021 15:53

I really wanted to go back to the Guardian - but its determination to see the emperor's new clothes rather than a naked man (probably in a woman's safe space) is unbearable.

I had not considered The Times... until now.

TheoSawUs · 19/07/2021 15:48

I subscribed to The Times about a year ago and love it. It is leagues above the Guardian for journalism.

impossibletoday · 19/07/2021 15:41

It's only in the Scottish editions of the paper, not on the app or e paper. Is that correct?
I'm new to all this!!

BaronMunchausen · 19/07/2021 15:37

Ah right. It’s just in the Scotland edition.

SqueakyPeaks · 19/07/2021 15:32

Hey that's great! Kudos to Posie et al

Megasausagehead · 19/07/2021 15:29

@BaronMunchausen

Where exactly is it?

I bought the Times today, can’t find it.
