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.

I think we should make a weekend of it and get a yurt, only 6 of us so we will all fit. And we’ve not the money for anything more having funded all these successful legal cases.

Whispers...

I snore, sleeptalk, sleepwalk and have night terrors...

It's going to be such fun.

What's that? i get a yurt to myself. Excellent!

Triggernometry are playing an important part in this and other freedom of speech and right issues, and the male podcasters taking an interest deserve recognition, Andrew Gold, Winston Marshall, Arty Morty, Graham (mentioned above) Helen Staniland, Brendan O'Neill, Dennis Kavanagh, James Dreyfus.

Not derailing with men on a much deserved list about women standing up: but as some men voicing their anger/disbelief at all the nonsense, I think Andrew Doyle and "Jonathan Pie"( Tom Walker) deserve a brief mention too👍

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

Forester1 · 27/01/2024 20:57

And Hadley Freeman, Janice Turner, Sonia Sodha

Was about to add Sharron Davies but someone just beat me. Also Daley Thomson and Riley Gaines.

Sharron Davies

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.

Most days I’m not fancy enough for a bar. Could we have a terf pub? Somewhere with a proper fire where I can wear muddy boots and bring the dog?

Sounds good.I

Into pub games Terf playing cards exist, but I'm wondering what the numbers 0-6 (they only go to six don't they??) would look like on the terf dominoes.

IcakethereforeIam · 27/01/2024 20:17

Yes, the entire support menagerie.

Is this where we all get a little tipsy and teary eyed? 😊

I'm sure someone's already mentioned Kelly Jay Keen.

What a fab list of fab women and allies.
Sisterhood is indeed powerful, as we used to say.

At this point I really should say thank you to the many Mumsnet women, and Elaine Miller (who may or may not also be good at cross stitch) who wrote poems and let me steal them to raise money for For Woman Scotland and then went and bought them so that 👇 could happen!

Also I often think about Selena Todd, who has spent most of her academic life writing about working - class women and feminism. I first heard her speak at a WPUK event, and she was brilliant.

Apologies but some wine has been had. I'm now contemplating a night out at the Terf Bar - wearing terf bras, wearing suffragette colours, reciting poetry and singing Billy Bragg songs (with the lyrics changed, natch).

Now that would be a night out to remember!
