Well I hoped...

[Branleuse]

[MercyMyJewels]

[OddBoots]

Jack.

[DameDeDoubtance]

Hurrah!!!! Good for her!!!!

[DeliciousIrony]

I find this really heartening.

[DeviTheGaelet]

Wow. I nearly didn't open the thread after her non-reappearance on the "what is a woman" thread. This is great. Very brave Jack

[geekaMaxima]

I remember that thread. I wonder if it played any part in how Jack regarded being a woman?

Go Jack! 😀

[DeviTheGaelet]

I think if she genuinely started the thread to reflect on what a woman is then it must have done. If it hadn't she would have been back I think. We will never know though

[Gallavich]

@mxjackmonroe you're welcome, welcome welcome. We are women, that doesn't mean we accept or acknowledge gendered expectations, that doesn't mean we think or feel the same, but it does mean we share female bodies and the fact of being in the 'inferior' class under patriarchy. We can't fight it if we try to identify out of it, climbing over the bodies of other women as we go...

[TinselTwins]

FUCKING YES!!!!

[QueenLaBeefah]

Great news!!

[Foldedtshirt]

🙌🏻
Welcome back, Jack.

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

I can't find that tweet anything other than annoying. Sorry!

[MyWineTime]

Wonderful words!

[notMarlene]

How utterly fucking brilliant and brave of Jack.

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

brave??

[EIsbethTascioni]

Welcome back Jack! Excellent tweeting.

[notMarlene]

Fuck yeah. The gender fuckery activist types are hardly likely to give her an easy ride. No?

[TinselTwins]

Yes, bibbidy, it's always brave to do a 180, even more so when it's a very public one

[OneWithTheForce]

Apologies in advance of this probably idiotic question but what does this mean? I know jack monroe from the "cheap meals" fame but don't follow them. I know (or thought I knew) that they didn't identify as a woman. Are they now saying they do? Or they will until there is equality for women?

[TinselTwins]

JM kinda said (massively paraphrasing) that she no longer identified as a woman because she didn't enjoy the shit that the patriarchy cause women to have to deal with…. when actually… dealing with that shit is exactly what it means to be a woman.. which is why it's amazing that she's now "come back"
