The conversation has moved on since 2018, I feel.
Just imagine a world where women could meet in a pub to talk about how to handle the threats they perceive to women's rights.
Just imagine being able to share the plans widely, talk to friends about whether they are interested.
Imagine rolling up, walking into that venue, sitting down and listening to speakers, discussing strategies and planning a way forward to protect women from unfairness, from sexual assault, from loss of privacy and the right to safeguarding and safe spaces.
Would they riot, hurl insults around, push and shove? Would they hell.
Would they rush out of the meeting fired up and full of vigour and start pushing and shoving men around? I think not.
Would they in fact swarm out of the meeting determined to go away and write some emails, maybe even buy some stickers? Well yes, that's perfectly possible.
The agitators here are not the women.
The people who need policing are not the women.
Honestly I doubt the women's meeting would even rate newspaper if it weren't for the black pampers agitating aggressively outside.
