To be absolutely disgusted by this?

I'm so angry. I get that people want to have equal rights but this is not equality. It is the eradication of the rights of "women" in order to appease the minority.

Omg. I have no words.

By their definition, a cat who is attracted to a potato is a lesbian. I can't tell you how incandescent I am with their bollocks.

@Walkaround very well said.

Seconded.

CorderBollie · 13/06/2023 20:16

Furious!
What can we do? Who can we protest to?

There was a debate in parliament yesterday to request clarification that the Equality Act 2010 sex protected characteristic is biological sex. Who would have thought it?

Look! Look! This would NOT have happened a year ago. The emperor has no clothes on and people are beginning to see!

I really want to be able to protest about this. It's terrifying.

WhiteFire · 13/06/2023 22:01

Good news that there isn't just the usual doubling down.

I’ve emailed them asking if my sofa is a lesbian because my dog humps it. What with both my dog and my sofa being non men.

That's amazing. I expect after a literal deluge of angry emails from us yesterday they acted immediately. Sounds like this thread led to direct action and meaningful change.

Catsanfan · 14/06/2023 07:25

@Outofthepark I truly hope so. 🙏

TheaBrandt · 14/06/2023 07:43

They’ve pushed and pushed and finally women are reaching our limit and drawing a line. We’ve been forced to.

I suspect emails inspired here added to the momentum of the many from across the world inspired by twitter and the twitter replies.

The response would have been huge! Well done all.

Outofthepark · 14/06/2023 09:36

It literally happened within minutes of a lot of us emailing so I'd like to think we were the final blow that made them remove it 😁. Definitely a strategy we should employ again!

anythinginapinch · 14/06/2023 10:01

So they've only just "become aware" of "the language in question"? So no actual thought or insight or awareness or knowledge was in play when they wrote and posted the original page? What absolute morons. It's meant to be a university - a place of thoughtful intelligence.

Why is non-men a thing and not non-women? There’s no logic to it!

Who has decided that non- binary etc people are lumped in with women and not with men?
