I just want to thank all these women for speaking out for women despite the obstacles put in their place. It's getting easier for the rest of us now.

@Boiledbeetle does a great job of galvanising us all. And @mumsnetjustine lets her. Both deserve a pint of Prosecco

Apart from the day where mnhq emailed earlier in the day to basically say good luck with book two and the same staff member a few hours later had to email to tell me they had temporarily banned me from Mumsnet for impersonating another user and could I get in touch! That was a very fraught 15 minutes I can tell you!

A gay bar in London has a I❤️JKR flag up. 🤷‍♀️

@Boiledbeetle . Yes me too, you’re fine, we can share

peachescariad · 27/01/2024 22:29

Thank you to all the women mentioned above and to all those whose names we do not yet know, but who'll continue to stand for women, support women, speak for women, fight for women.

I saw someone on Twitter saying they were starting a "TERF bar" where only women were allowed in and one of the security was a convicted murderer who would ask questions about periods "only real women could answer" or something. It sounded very bizarre.

Show quote history

Well, if someone on twitter says that then...

LarkLane · 27/01/2024 22:23

I'd like to mention Lucy Masoud. I knew her as a younger woman and I'm so proud of her. She has grown in strength to become an exceptional woman.

AuContraire · 27/01/2024 22:18

I'm very grateful for the women on here 5-8 years ago — most of whom HQ booted off MN because men told them to —who kept reminding us that NO men were women, not even the nice ones, and held that firm line, explaining it again and again, making thousands (tens of, hundreds of thousands?) of women able to think and talk it through too.

Barracker, LangCleg, AngryAttackKittens, Ro, Datun, Dittany, to name but a few.

(Just remembered that MNHQ banned women from asking politicians on the webchats about women's rights, deleting posts before our very eyes and banning the women. And we wonder why politicians claim "nobody ever asks me about this, its a non issue").

I don't think the gay community is happy with her. A Dublin gay bar has a "f**k you JK Rowing" sign up.

Why don't they like her rowing? 🚣 weird.

It's because of the cox

And the sports writer in The Telegraph - can’t remember his name.

Sean Ingle.

He's been great.

I'll add my thanks to all mentioned here along with IAmSarah and all the thoughtful vipers on this forum; thank you for all you say and do.

As to a TERF bar, it's bloody genius 💯
