Did anyone notice she mentioned the witch trials of jk Rowling was well balanced? It seems like that's quite a controversial thing to say seeing as anything remotely positive about jk must make you a transphobe.... All her work on menopause must mean she knows what a women is?

They are absolutely going for her on Twitter. Willoughby is foaming at the mouth. Nadia Almada from BB now claiming Davina was cruel to Nadia and caused Nadia to attempt suicide.

I do hope she stays strong. They will not forgive her for this so she may as well come out as a TERF. If she backs down and grovels none of the menopausal women who are part of her audience will ever listen to a single thing she says again I suspect.

Dino I always wonder how these salons work out the prices. Does everyone, including all the blokes, pay women's prices? If so, is it just males with special identities who find paying more for stuff validating? Or does everyone pay an average? I'm certain they won't be charging everyone at cheaper men's prices.

It does seem a fair idea at first glance. In reality, I have such dense, difficult hair it takes hours to cut and dry. I think their hearts would sink when I walked through the door.

The far north of England is sometimes a decade behind the rest of the country; it's gone full alphabet soup up here.

Interesting. My cousin is in Sunderland and just announced her hair salon will now have gender neutral pricing (whatever that might be) and you can let them know your pronouns when booking.

I had assumed a solitary trans customer had turned up but she does like a cause (the salon is also vegan and something else worthy I can’t remember now) so maybe shes just had a pride hit.

I'm having a random throwback to 'Streetmate' or was is it Streetdate, in which Davina ran around pretty market towns in black pedal pushers setting up dates among charming twenty somethings.

Bloody loved her in that. All I want now is for the comment to stay up, no further action required.

Or rather it shows that people react with targeted extreme, violent misogyny to egalitarian movements.

Just to clarify here that the egalitarian movement I refer to is the enlightenment— and in current days the corollary would be women’s liberation, civil rights, gay rights (with the misogyny of TRAs being the witch burning).

Stay strong Davina!

Weirdly they were burning witches in the enlightenment. Not saying the latter led to the former but its one of those odd historical juxtapositions. Whereas all the way through the "dark ages" and most of the middle ages most people wouldn't have taken the idea all that seriously. Just goes to show not all new ideas are good ideas really.

You don’t have to be GC, TWAW, like or dislike JKR to appreciate that it was a very good podcast.

It really says something for our heartfelt belief, that we're getting animated about the possibility of an ephemeral TV personality possibly being a possible ally in this fight.

I mean, where the fuck did the Enlightenment dissapear to? And just when did it happen? I confess, I was totally certain two decades ago the rational Western model was safe in the elites' hands.

I saw a flyer for Alnwick pride which was half the alphabet.

Correction; an 'Alnwick pride group,' to be run at Alnwick garden by Alnwick pride. For lgbtqia+. Which is has more letters / symbols than the word 'Alnwick.'

Where are you? I'm in North Tyneside and the Police cars don't have rainbows, but I was in Newcastle through the week and saw a car and van with them on.

Yep same area. NT are more sensible but Newcastle is covered. Some aren't rainbows either, just the trans flag.

The Nadia off Big Brother era seems like a flippin alternative reality ....I'm still bewildered how we ended up in the state we are..ie from pretty much majority acceptance and tolerance! To most vulnerable people in society... to violence / death threats , male bodied persons in women's prisons / sports etc mutilated children ...wtf?

She must be getting it right(er) if PN are giving her shit.

EdgeOfACoin · 25/06/2023 18:39

I caught an advert on the radio not long ago. It was by Davina and it was something to do with the menopause.

I'm fairly sure she managed to do the whole advert about the menopause without specifically mentioning women once, but did refer to men (in the context of supporting their partners).

I think there were references to sisters and mothers, etc. so it wasn't entirely hopeless, but it seemed clear to me that any reference to women generally had been carefully and deliberately omitted.

They've turned it into a Jk bashing opportunity again.

Herd mentality, purity spirals. It's all this nihilistic movement has. It's like a sanitised politically correct version of Mao Cultural Revolution and Stalin Five Year Plan, the 2023 version of East German snitching on your neighbour and work colleague, and Kim Jung style state terror.

The very fact this shell of a media outlet feels the need to try and cut Davina out the moment she states an even mildly GC expression (she simply Liked JKR's Tweet yes? She hasn't gone on to provide a full-throated Tweet herself?), and yet another opportunity to try and humiliate JKR, speaks volumes about the TRA toxic anti-free speech attitude.

”This isn’t a debate or discussion. It’s our lives.”

Yes and you’re demanding something that affects the lives of other people, so we are going to discuss it whether you like it or not.

They really are lost in their selfishness.

I agree but every younger woman at work has been aware of the Davina meno push. All watched the progs. Chatting about it.

She's very into health and fitness and being physically strong.

This kind of small nod in a certain direction has clout for many who are either unaware or still afraid to speak their minds.

Sorry - meant sometimes is happy to be called 'she' and sometimes objects.

Buck is also divisive - and not all that decisive!

Tired today. Need to stop posting nonsense.
