Will that now be a subtle signal to my fellow GC sisters? I do hope so, I can't wait to see lots of dinosaurs being sported by women out and about - anyone complaining about a woman with a dinosaur is simply going to look batshit crazy Grin. (Although just to be clear I do talk about this a lot in rl but not so much at work but generally think that the more women who don't yet speak out about this can see how many others are GC the better and I suspect that the "GC Dinosaur" may just be our Bat Signal")

'We know' and 'everything else she has done' are unsubstantiated allegations.

Indeed, the case is sub judice, not that I expect that poster to understand such a concept, and their posts are also libellous again I don't expect them to understand that either although they should educate themselves lest they find themselves in a world of trouble in future.

@alekto correct. A pp has said 'we know'. We don't know anything. The only details published in the media are deliberately vague. And as @RedDogsBeg has pointed out, a court case is designed to decide innocence or guilt.

'We know' and 'everything else she has done' are unsubstantiated allegations.

I thought it was considered unwise to indulge in speculation on active court cases, especially those taking place north of the border?

I'm confused...

OP said she associates rainbows with misogyny. Then I said it’s ironic and PPs said that’s the whole point.

Binglebong · 10/10/2021 14:39

Sorry for filling the page with links. None of these are my normal style but I shall wear some anyway and nod conspiracy like to co-collaborators and random strangers who like dinos.

So it’s not misogynistic to wear rainbows or dinosaurs is that correct?

Fixed that for you.

Ok I missed that.

Maybe everyone could just wear what they want.

I for one won’t be judging if someone has a t-shirt with a rainbow or dinosaur on and I won’t take it any other way than that they like rainbows/dinosaurs.

I'm sure I've seen some dinos wearing Harry Potter uniform so I googled it. Not what I'm looking for but soon cool! www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/meet-dracorex-hogwartsia-v2

@toocold54

I love dinosaurs and have plenty of dinosaur equipment (I’m a science teacher so it’s not seen as odd). I really hope no one thinks it’s a symbol for anything else Hmm

I hope you're "with us", and they do Grin

@Thelnebriati

When will women be allowed to wear something without it meaning something else?

When they can retweet a photo of a ribbon tied to a fence without being arrested.

Quite.

Fuck that actual shit.

GreyhoundG1rl · 10/10/2021 12:03

Which views precisely do you take issue with, Sproutandcrumpet?
Can you list out your objections to "our views"?
