Greta Thunberg is just awesome

[Soubriquet]

First of, she starts with this.

Then Andrew starts to get cocky…and gets arrested

Goodness. The vitriol. I admire Greta - although sometimes disagree with her; but the pizza box is a work of genius and AT is an arse

I don’t think you can even recycle a pizza box 🤷‍♀️

She's a fucking child.

She'll be 20 on Wednesday. Hardly a child. What had you done by the time you were 20??

She's 19, so not a child. And she's a hell of a lot brighter and more mature than Tate.

It’s just a shame she couldn’t be bothered to educate herself about biological sex 🙄

It's this kind of bollocks that gives mumsnet feminism a bad name.

She isn't a child! She's an adult....🤣

I think she's done things that were impressive for the age she was. She's at risk of 'child prodigy syndrome' as she moves into adulthood; i.e. becoming one of many adult climate activists rather than a stand-out teenager. It will be interesting to see where she goes in later life.

This!

Sorry? So it’s bollocks to know that sex is real, binary and immutable?

If you believe that GT doesn't know the biology of sex, you are deceiving yourself.

Quite. Of course she knows. She may believe that sex and gender are two different things and have a very liberal view of trans rights, but what's that got to do with anything?

She believes TWAW, which usually means that she would expect males who commit sex crimes to be housed in female prisons.
As a (I'm assuming) highly intelligent woman whom I admire greatly for the work she has done to highlight the issues around global warming, it’s infuriating that her stance on GI is in direct opposition to the key principles of feminism.

Eh??? Well I always recycle mine! Don’t tell me you put yours in the general waste bin??

A huge amount if you are concerned with the erosion of women’s rights.

yeh not sure why posters prefer his tweets over hers.

Haven’t followed him at all and no idea about him until this thread but he’s not worth defending:

I agree, go Greta! I love her energy and passion as others have said.

Well, if she is in any way complicit in getting AT put away for a long stretch, she will have done more for the dignity of women and girls than any amount of threads on Mumsnet.

I don't always agree with Greta, or the way she goes about things. I think she is - as many youngsters are - somewhat idealistic and frequently misses the wider picture. It's not uncommon in young activitists to be fair, it's not a phenomenon that only applies to Greta.

Although I don't always think she's right, I admire her passion and enthusiasm and willingness to put herself in the firing line for something she believes in. And she has a brilliant sense of humour - this isn't the first time she's shown how funny she is.

My DD is autistic and I think Greta is a fantastic role model. I'd much rather DD emulate Greta than some of the vacuous social influencers who seem to be so popular.

PS - Andrew Tate is a giant bellend and it's amazing to see his arse handed to him so publicly. I hope the women who were found in his property are OK.

Not if he decides to identify as a woman and be housed in a woman's prison which she is on board with.
That's not intelligent at all.

She's not my cup of tea but I thought the Tweet was a great come back.

Not sure that would apply in a Romanian prison.

Agree.

I like her morals and her cause.

I find her approach a bit OTT but I understand why she comes across as she does.

But he started this and her retorts were hilarious.

There's a part of me which is really rooting for this to all end in Andrew Tate announcing that he's trans and wants to go to women's prison...

The amount of headspinning that would cause 😂
