This is partly in response to a feminist activist who tweeted that "Rachel Hewitt thinks like a rapist" (Rachel Hewitt being the woman who wrote an article for the New Statesman saying that female-only spaces had helped her cope with the trauma of rape) twitter.com/stavvers/status/570246367140036608

So pleased her blog is back! Thoughts on this article?

Glosswitch tweeted this wonderful blog (not from her):

liberationcollective.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/leaving-liberal-feminism/

I think stavvers is displaying narcissistic rage in this episode.

I'm glad she is back and ok Smile

Hurrah, an articulate and thoughtful response.

Love Glosswitch's writing and am glad she's back especially with such a fantastic post :)

Bloody brilliant Annie. She nails it, as ever.

scallopsrgreat · 04/03/2015 20:23

I want to be Glosswitch when I grow up.

I discovered she was back today by optimistically clicking on a link I knew was going to a dead blog but clicking it anyway... Grin my attitude of denial sometimes has a happy outcome.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 05/03/2015 00:40

Oh my. She is fucking brilliant

As the Countess said, she nailed it... Aggain.

So pleased glosswitch is back!

And thanks for posting that piece on liberal feminism flora. It mirrors my own thought process, with the exception that I was taught that gender is a cultural construct in first year anthropology at uni, so the gender identity aspect of liberal feminism always felt uncomfortable to me.

Yy flora that's so useful to me, as only just realising I need to come out as a rad fem to a few friends, whose reaction will be interesting.

That Libfem article rings very true for me too.
So pleased to see Glosswitch back, she is awesome.

Glosswitch's response to OJ today.

Looking at the Twitter convo around OJ reminds me why I hate that site -- its like trying to shout through glass and then getting cut off mid-...
