Not to like the Globe Theatre calling me a bitch?

[EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn]

OK, not to my face. But following the non-binary Joan of Arc play they’ve shared a ‘terfs stop being transphobic challenge’ referring to anyone who doesn’t believe in gender identity as a bitch.

It’s a shame. I’ve been to some amazing plays at the Globe. But they’ve made their position on feminists pretty clear, so I won’t be going back.

i am a TERF, hope that helps

Wtf? This is crime against art.

Even seen as a pure activism it is quite bad.

Nothing unreasonable to not like it.

Do you weep, J.K. Rowling, do you weep ...

I’m sickened by the pretence that strong women who refuse to enact feminine stereotypes are therefore ‘non-binary’, ie not female. That includes most of the feminists I know, for a start, and we are feminists because we are women. Shame on those who persuade young women that their lack of interest in playing ‘feminine’ roles unsexes them.

The only Turf I understand is what I lay in gardens, used to play Rugby on, play Bowls on now and very rarely watch horses racing on. That is the only Turf anyone should be acknowledging not made up meaningless nonsense like Terf whatever that is when it’s not out!

Actually properly guffawed at that!

‘My beauty astounds them’

MN Classics, surely.

Put this in another thread, but just parking it here too.

My heart is so sad.

That these young women look across the years and see us older women as bitches.

Not seeing the young women we were, and the invisible women we are now, who defied gender stereotypes.

Who were lucky enough to live in a small sliver of the corner of the world where we existed, where we got to break out of small corners of those boxes.

"It makes them so blind that they can't see the path down which they're being lead is another fucking path being paved by fucking men"

That resonates, but not in the way I think the writer intended.

"Want to take away my choices while the men take theirs from them"
Oh the irony 😫

Hi Honeylover, I’m an older woman and must admit that I haven’t informed myself about a lot of the gender identity stuff. But I’m perplexed by your opinion that if you are a woman but not adhering to feminine steroptypes, you are called ‘nonbinary’. I thought that ‘non-binary’ was something you get to call yourself or not, depending on how you feel yourself to be.

Jesus. How embarrassing for them. No wonder they've deleted it.

This actually really did make me laugh out loud!

Have you read any of Shakespeare's works?

I suppose you could pretend that he was a nice British gent with not a dark thought in his head if you struggled with comprehension

Well Bloody Said! @wackamole

I've seen various threads talking about 'interns' being in charge of social media accounts when crap like this comes out. I think that trivialises something that can have serious consequences.

My previous employer was involved in a very high profile (trended globally) thread on Twitter relating to trans issues that exploded into MSM and had huge ramifications for many people involved. I went into work the next morning expecting there to be junior heads rolling and leadership team emails denying all knowledge, but instead we found out it had been instigated by the leadership team themselves.

It blew my mind to find out it had been a deliberate targeted tweet and it made me never assume that these things are down to error or lack of monitoring of juniors. They could easily be result of the direction that leaders of that company actually want to take.

That is a truly terrible poem.
But I do like a poem so bad I start laughing so I'd have to give some points for that.

The Marketing manager at The Globe earlier:

To delete or not to delete; that is the question.

Wow, that “poem” is awful.

who would put their name to such a pile of piss?

Fair is foul and foul is fair
Who the fuck are we letting in here?

Shakespeare said it best (no surprise there)

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing

The manager when she had hit 'Submit' on her poem:

OUT DAMNED SPOT!

Arya stark from game of thrones reminds me of joan of ark. I seen a comment on twitter a while back from a young 'non binary' who said 'what ever gender arya stark is thats me' i commented 'Arya stark didnt know what gender was, she was just a bad ass female' , didnt get a reply, hopefully planted a seed :)

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet

The lion, the witch and the audacity of this bitch is quite a well known meme…
