New female single sex student society launched at Cambridge university

There's an interview here. The interviewer seems terrified of wrong think and it's full of scare quotes, but Maeve Halligan seems sensible and unphased. Good for these women.

I wonder how these brave girls are getting on. I think I read somewhere that they had a meeting. Hopefully it was allowed to proceed without disruption.

@Ilovenovember Me too! Staff member that is.

So glad to see this but so furious at the behaviour of the woman-hating ideologues studying and working at the university. I’m a member of staff and am hoping membership will be open to staff too.

I don't think anyone has shared the website link yet; it's here https://cusocietyofwomen.com
They have links to join (if you're a student or alumna) and a link to their crowdfunder.
I'll be following with interest.

I hope any events they have are well attended and safe

It’s a religion, and all non believers must be cast out.

Such brave young women, I do hope that their future is not impacted.

I just don't understand all the reactions from the other societies. They are not being prevented from including who they want. Why the extreme reactions, when ONE society is set up. It's such an intolerant repressive environment.

Fundraiser over £12k now. Hopefully that sends a strong message of support to the organisers.

Do you think the men in these comments have any idea what a bunch of whiny toddlers they sound like?

What about the men?
Well... what about them? Are women supposed to put the work in to make them a nice men only space too?

All women are not your mummy! Get used to it.

This makes perfect sense I think.

There are all kinds of things women, or Jamaicans, English people, blind people, Catholics - all have any number of intrinsic things in common that mean they might like to get together for some kind of event.

But race? I would say on the face of it that is a very differernt thing. There is no inherent positive characteristic that can be found around race, the only things that are there are negative where the law or custom has arbitrarily defined skin colour as creating commonality. And we know that to be false and wrong. A dark skinned Jamaican, Nigerian, Indian, and Australian have nothing intrinsically in common just because they have darker skin. They have totally different ethnicity, customs, histories, and cultural beliefs, not to mention not necessarily being particularly likely to be related genetically.

Just checked and they've already exceeded their original target. I'll be planting a few seeds and hope many others will do likewise.

Funny how threats of sexual violence against women are baked into the behaviour of the "be kind" brigade isn't it?

from the Telegraph article:

“I get a lot of rape and death threats,” says Halligan – a problem that began when she became openly gender-critical while at Bristol.

fucking hell. I'm furious for them. will plant a few carrots later to help me feel better

Google search gofundme Cambridge women will find it if you want to donate and MN won't allow a link to be posted. What feisty young women, I love it!

She also described “the trans agenda” as “a form of propaganda,” adding: “Transgender ideology is the most regressive, homophobic, sexist, crucially misogynistic thing to exist in a very, very long time.”

Shes not wrong.

I have planted a few seedlings. Money has been tight for the last while, but I was ostracised at school once and I have never forgotten the terror of having to go in every day and face the mean girls, so these strong women get a few 💐 from me.

One of my old tutors is on there, too. Good for him.

Thanks! I also donated to their fundraiser earlier. Going back a few years, I hope that the poster MagicMagpie, who was so brave in Cambridge, is doing OK nowadays.

I've sent them a few carrots. They are just over £6K with an £8K target.

The Telegraph have covered these courageous young women. They've got a crowd funder which is doing very well. People have linked it in in the comments:

Yes, I realise the Supreme Court judgement is absolutely clear.

But not the Equality Act itself which required the Supreme Court case in the first place (after years of confusion and thousands spent on other court cases).

Embarrassing seeing the comments in response to this on the Camfess Facebook page. A bunch of cringing handmaidens and a few gobby mansplaining men there to act as the ideological muscle.

But the Supreme Court judgement was perfectly clear.

Even if anyone found the Equality Act difficult to follow, they can't claim there's anything confusing in this:
The Supreme Court unanimously allows the appeal [by For Women Scotland]. It holds that the terms “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the EA 2010 refer to biological sex

What else needs explaining?
