(Disclaimer I am extremely amateur at this, and welcome any feedback on errors)

Inspired by the "MN in six words" thread in FWR (annoyingly I can't link as I am on the app) I thought it would be good to have a FWR haiku thread.

Here are my efforts to start us off (I never know whether to capitalise or not, and I also want to use "silenced" but can't work out whether it is 2 or 3 syllables Blush)

Women of Mumsnet
are not witches for burning
We will not submit

Pretend all you want
but men are not women and
biology rules

These were obviously from the time my brain worked properly!

The best way to show that you are oppressed
Is to be a man and yet wear a dress
It was students at college

Who discovered this knowledge
If you think it’s bollocks, come and confess

Although I just found some of my limericks from it!

There once was a Wokeland lived in by folk
So strong and so brave, so stunning and woke
Yet songs made them cry
They couldn’t scroll by
The truth that a penis makes you a bloke

Does anyone remember the FWR song thread? Mine got deleted but I wonder if it's worth another try at putting it up....

Someone tell my gut
The naked man in my space
Is really a she

So much - nearly all - of what is wrong with Trans Rights discourse is not just the obvious misogyny but the condescension that drips from and underpins every statement Barley Kelley, I'm right, you're wrong/too stupid to understand the 'science'/wrong side of history, etc. It's why they'll lose when it finally moves beyond the rarified circles that have indulged it up until now. We need all the bullshit-bubble prickers we can get, and Pam would indeed be an excellent choice of Pin-In-Chief!

Leave women alone
We are not your human shields
We are human too

Yes, we need that calibre of incisive political commentator to throw off the shackles and publically commit to the cause. We're going to need all the healthy teeth we can get for this fight, I fear..

Grin She speaks to the masses, and gender theory needs to be pulled down several hundred rungs and held up for the absurdity that it is. I think she can do it, with her usual charm and panache. It's the opposite of academic discourse, that completely off puts the majority or leaves you thinking they must be right because they use big words and concepts you don't understand. Smoke and mirrors for bullshit.

Who was it said " Men fear Women will laugh at them; Women fear Men will kill them"? Well, they're bloody killing us anyway, so I for one am going to laugh at them as scathingly as I can. And it's such a pleasure to see mockery phrased as killingly as you manage to. Flowers

@LilithOfEden

Blush *@CompleteGinasaur* , how kind. I would really like Pam Ayres to declare herself GC, and produce an anthology of poetry celebrating women and the absurdities of genderism.

Literal violence:
Hateful haberdashery,
Pro-women stickers

@LilithOfEden that's brilliant - especially the last verse.

Dear Kier Starmer,
Some think you're a charmer,
You're not that clever,
Speak to a farmer.

That one's a cow,
That one's a bull,
Can you spot the difference?
Or are you that dull?

Women aren't feelings
Or costumes for hire,
When you say different,
We know you're a liar.

Why should we vote
For misogynist hate,
Erasing our language,
For your "no debate"?

We need a leader
Who'll cherish our rights,
Who won't throw our spaces
To rapists in tights.

When will you learn
That women made Labour
Match Girls and Suffragettes
Did you this favour.

We won't forget,
You don't have our trust,
Want re-election?
Our votes are a must.

Say EqA is sacred
All female spaces too
Safety and dignity,
It's not just the loo.

Prisons and sport,
Hospitals, schools,
These are our battlegrounds,
We are not fools.

Attack them, support us,
These are your choices.
Save women's spaces,
Or lose women's voices.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Call yourself anything, it doesn't make it true.

Leave children alone
And Repeal the GRA
Men are not women

WotgunShedding · 04/02/2022 11:28

Sports, safety, speech, rights
All conceded. But let's keep
Primogeniture.

There was an MP, name of Butler,
Biology clearly her bete noire.
Thinks babies are sexless,
Such utterings are reckless,
Cos nobody now respects her.

NancyDrawed · 04/02/2022 10:47

Transwomen are not
Women, as they remain male
Women are female

LilithOfEden · 04/02/2022 10:37

Virtue signallers they are,
Careers launched by JKR.
Now back-stabbing shits,
Misogynist gits,
Shame should run deep and run far.

LilithOfEden · 04/02/2022 10:31

Radcliffe, Watson and Grint,
No-talent "actors", not skint.
They got to go far,
Thanks to JKR,
Expelliarmus, gits! Take this hint!

You're free to become
A six year old Korean

A man in a dress
Is not a fucking woman
We just speak the truth
