I just love this woman! She undoubtedly has the Midas touch when it comes to marketing and publicity.

I have been to several of her events over the years, and she has time for each and every woman who comes to see her.

Any other fans here?

Gotta love Posie - she ripped off Adult Human Female from others and now everyone thinks it's hers!

Her Shopping For Women channel is amazing - you can watch her shine a torch over her t-shirted tits. What a woman!

I vote for Posie Parker for the next conservative prime minister!

gosh, she's spending a lot of time living rent free in your head, isn't she?

Yes, I've been a long time admirer/fan of Posie Parker.
I've been around long enough to remember when she was banned from Mumsnet, and have seen enough threads on here about her usually descending into a total bitch fest.
Some people have a HUGE problem with her.
But she's desperately needed right now.

Well she’s not perfect but who is?
I was piled on for suggesting she might be a bit fond of drama on a thread once but I have actually changed my mind.
Somebody needs to be brave enough to speak out and if that comes with a bit of ego then I will take it. She does what a lot of women can’t or won’t and I genuinely admire her for that

BoreOfWhabylon · 26/10/2022 17:45

Whatever you think of KJK, she has done more than anyone to take the whole genderism issue mainstream.
Adult Human Female is a world-wide symbol of women's fightback.
Her takedown of Harrop on Sky TV was glorious to behold.
She made Joe Public sit up and notice.
And she's absolutely fearless.

KJK is an absolute powerhouse and is (imo) the woman who has made the biggest contribution towards getting the discussion off of Mumsnet, out of the hired church halls, beyond the niche podcasts and into mainstream view.

(apart from JK, of course, but then JK only has to tweet to make headlines!)

I agree with all this.

Coyoacan · 26/10/2022 17:04

I love and admire her on this issue, what she thinks about other things is of no interest to me, though I don't believe she is right-wing

I get so tired of tras trying to insist that if you agree with one of Posie’s views, you must therefore agree with all of them.
I don’t care if she is right wing, pro Trump, or a secret pig strangler, I’m with her on women’s rights to single sex spaces, and child safeguarding - because on those issues she is 100% right!
What she does the rest of the time is up to her.

That.

Rowlingfan · 26/10/2022 16:53

She’s dogged, determined and dynamic. Yup, I think she’s great. I have only admiration for people who stand up to bullying.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 26/10/2022 16:40

I think people do get a bit confused by seeing a thoroughly glamorous and also difficult woman

she’s widening the bandwidth of women’s rights campaigners

the rather entertaining part is that if trans rights extremists hadn’t tried so hard to shut her down, I do wonder if she’d be doing the stuff she’s doing now and making the impact she is

ToGanymedeAndTitan · 26/10/2022 16:29

I'm not wound up, I just find it funny 😁

Lottapianos · 26/10/2022 16:29

I do love her hair, and her nails, and how glam she is. She's my kind of woman

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 26/10/2022 16:19

I do love quite how much she winds people up

and I enjoy the fact that she’s moved beyond giving a shit about it

ToGanymedeAndTitan · 26/10/2022 16:06

Two pages in and nobody's mentioned how much they luffs her hair or her "ovaries of steel" yet.
Got to be a record 😁

Cattytabby · 26/10/2022 15:57

Even if I didn't agree with her, I would still admire her calm, classy and eloquent ability to put her point across.
I wish I had half as much courage of my convictions.
❤️

It's a bit of an echo chamber if only appreciative comments are allowed, but if you must.

It's not the busiest thread I've ever seen, have to say.

Really? It was only started last night and it's been consistently top of FWR since then!

YouSirNeighMmmm · 26/10/2022 15:36

I don't agree with everything she says nor the way she phrases things sometimes... but she is GREAT.

A simple message, based on truth and giving all women a voice. She, along with Magdalene Berns, are probably the two women who have most helped me get to where I am now.

ToGanymedeAndTitan · 26/10/2022 15:01

Winston Churchill 😂
Brilliant

Sausagenbacon · 26/10/2022 14:50

I think she's great. More power to her elbow.

Terferama · 26/10/2022 14:07

Posie is amazing.
She’s our Winston Churchill.
And in case anyone here is very very young and/or stupid - yes, saving the free world is a good thing to do😜

Lottapianos · 26/10/2022 13:58

I'm a huge fan of hers. She's a brilliant communicator and explains the issues in plain English. I am in awe of her bravery and tenacity. I think it's a bloody shame that feminists like Julie Bindel and Sarah Ditum (who I also admire hugely) have been so critical of her

ArabellaScott · 26/10/2022 13:56

KJK is fab.

workiskillingme · 26/10/2022 13:54

A580Hojas · 25/10/2022 21:01

I find it hard to reconcile her public persona with how she posted on Mumsnet a long time ago. I'm absolutely not in the business of outing or doxxing her but something doesn't add up for me.

There are aspects of her campaign, mainly some of her dubious affiliates, that I just don't like even though I class myself as GC as anybody.

Absolutely
Personally found her a nause on here totally full of herself

JoodyBlue · 26/10/2022 13:52

It takes many personalities to make a successful movement. Kellie Jay is essential to the fight for women's rights. Moreover she has given up a lot personally in order to offer her formidable personality to lead. I am dismayed by the vaguaries of those who would smear her. The oft heard "I'm not a fan" or recently I heard she comes from a place of "ignorance" or the old "dubious affiliates". None of these things are specific. Hence the word smearing seems appropriate. If you have a proper reason to dislike her then give it.

It's not the busiest thread I've ever seen, have to say.

There are already multiple threads that thoroughly critique KJK, sometimes entire other topics have become hijacked by KJK detractors!

The Mumsnet search function is much improved of late, much easier to find these things now.

to bring this thread back on topic - I appreciate KJK for repeatedly bringing the attention back to the children and teenagers who are growing up in this peculiar political climate, absorbing societal messages from multiple directions that chip away and self esteem and inflame the natural discomfort of puberty until it become self hatred and self harm.

One of my kids was transed by school without informing us, and the education unions and the left wing political parties are useless.

I went to see my Labour MP (who is former Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities AND former Shadow Secretary of State for Education and who personally knows my family well) and she made all the right noises to my face but refuses to say boo to a goose about any of it publicly.

KJK gives ordinary women strength to speak for themselves when our political representation fails us.
