'sfinished now. Amanda Platell is just so annoying.

what was she saying?

I can't believe her book or whatever is as simplistic as the way it's being reported

Marina · 31/01/2006 10:25

I think I'd sooner eat my own vomit than take either of that pair's views seriously...

Caligula · 31/01/2006 10:31

Oh they were just having the usual argument. NW was saying it's time men helped out in the domestic sphere and got a pop at the Daily Mail for always making women responsible for changing society, whereas I can't really remember what Platell was saying - I just remember being too irritated to listen to it properly!

Ah natasha

the only feminist at uni who refused to wear jeans

Why do we all have Natasha W? Doesn't she make sense sometimes? I'm so excited by this new "Female Chauvinist pigs" book (not by her) which I think she was being positive about....We need more vocal feminists IMO.

oooooh can I tell you about the time I bumped in to her in my local and i had my jumper on back to front and inside out?

She always looked a little harrassed

tonton · 31/01/2006 12:01

please tell suzywong!

suzywong · 31/01/2006 12:09

that's it, there is no more
I used to live round the corner and I was in our local meeting a friend and I bumped in to her, she has a dd same age as my ds1 and I used to see her in the park. Anyway I offered to buy her a drink but she backed away and then when my mate turned up she told me I had my jaquared jumper inside out and back to front and I must have looked like a bleedin' loon.

NW is very pretty and thin

anonymous4now · 31/01/2006 12:21

who the hell's natasha w???!!!

CarolinaMoon · 31/01/2006 12:22

she's a mumsnetter, anonymous.

anonymous4now · 31/01/2006 12:24

how's she got herself on woman's hour? is she famous?

motherinferior · 31/01/2006 12:25

You don't have to be famous to get yourself on Woman's Hour . I'm not and I have been.

CarolinaMoon · 31/01/2006 12:27

MI, you're too modest .

NW is a journo and feminist writer.

anonymous4now · 31/01/2006 12:27

Have you? May I ask what for?

motherinferior · 31/01/2006 12:31

I suggested that WH did a feature on SPD, as I'd written an article on it for one of the baby mags (bumped into a WH producer, old mate of mine, in our local hairdresser ). I was the case study (I've done a fair bit of pre-recorded radio in previous lives) talking graphically about my agonising crotch to the nation at large.

I would really like some Feminist Figureheads who were, you know, representative of all the feminists I know, who jostle work/life/relationships/kids/shopping/emotional traumas/domesticity into shape every day, and look perfectly presentable and frequently rather attractive but don't particularly look glossy.

anonymous4now · 31/01/2006 12:36

you're very brave then.

motherinferior · 31/01/2006 12:39

Nah, I'm quite used to radio and I enjoyed doing it.

singersgirl · 31/01/2006 12:50

I was at school with Natasha Walter, but don't often read her stuff now.

Never been on Woman's Hour, but have been on The Big Breakfast and the Today programme, and I'm not even a teensy little bit famous.
