Lucy Mangam on why International Women's Day matters

[Hassled]

Well worth a read. She's always right about everything, but she's especially right about this.

Yes, particularly her first point pertinent to our Men in a Van thread.

I'm making a mental note of 'piss-stained 50-year-old alcoholics? Always!'

Oh FFS with the onslaught of "Wotaboutthemenz" whines.

FFS FFS FFS

When 15 year old boy children are subjected to sexual harassment like this, then let's talk about the menz.

I don't know why I read the Guardian comments, I really shouldn't particularly late at night when I should be preparing for sleep.

Ooh I was going to post this too!yes it's an excellent article, and great that it's in a prominent position in a national newspaper.

I normally find her quite annoying but I really liked this article. It made me wonder if she might be among us!?

I dunno these feminists always complaining

We give you the vote and equal pay. And how do you thank us? By threatening to take our porn away

Also a good article in the Independent today by Yasmin Alibhi-Brown.

Mariella Frostrup in the Guardian yesterday.

(Think it was linked on another thread but mayeb we could put all the Women's Day articles here?)

Mariella's piece is really powerful & beautifully written

I'd missed that Mariella article - astonishingly moving.

Mangan, not Mangam. Grrr.
