Superb article on calls for women to shut up, be kind, and get over it.

Gender ideology is an anti women movement that uses society's deeply entrenched misogyny to further degrade and denigrate women.

Stop telling us to be nice when pointing out abuse.

Fuuuuuck. That is a killer piece. Permission for us to feel all the anger.

Damn, that should be require reading. For everyone, everywhere.

She’s brilliant isn’t she?

Thanks for sharing Arabella.

That was such a good read.

Thankyou Arabella! That is a storming piece. Honest, personal and beautfully thought out.

That's an absolutely epic piece. As usual it nails everything, but it's so personal as well... yet I feel most of us can relate to the injustice we acknowledge and internalise at being told how to speak by dishonest bad actors.

I'm doing it now - I rewrote what I wanted to say to make it more palatable.

I love Victoria's writing. Anyone who's ever posted on FWR should read this one.

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I feel less inclined to take shit, having read that.

Brilliant piece.

Appeasement never works does it? Ask Neville Chamberlain
