She is wonderful. Not just on this but on lots of issues.

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 25/03/2017 18:20

Hooray - great article. I love Glosswitch.

QuentinSummers · 25/03/2017 19:13

Just came on to post this. She has totally totally nailed it. Amazing stuff!

QueenLaBeefah · 25/03/2017 19:31

Wow! She's summed up my spluttering fury into an eloquent, logical argument.

Brilliant riposte to liberal men and those who support them.

If I wanted the perfect mother's day present, it would be all the sentiments in this post. Wrapped up with love and understanding.

Such a good article. She's on fire.
Why hasn't she published a book of her articles? I would buy about 100 copies.

She is amazing.

You can always guage a person's character by how they react to Glosswitch's writing. No one worth bothering with has a bad word to say about her, and rightly so.

This is also brilliant on where third wave feminism went wrong. Love her.

Round of applause for the fantastic Glosswitch.

Thanks for posting this.

I've recently had the unpleasant experience of realising what a horrible arrogant dismissive misogynist an old friend is via discussions on the trans issue. Totally unsympathetic to women's experience, opinions and concerns, blind to his many privileges and constantly attemping to smear trans-activist critical people as loony religious types or hysterical paranoics. I actually feel like our friendship is over because of this, and I don't say that lightly-I have friends with varying opinions and ideologies about lots of things, I don't live in an echo chamber. But this guy.. it would shock you, he's hypereducated, right-on, social justice type... although if you read Glosswitch you wouldn't be surprised as she identifies his "type"- at least you know where you are with the old school "pussy grabbers" Sad

The comments though Shock never normally look btl

Smashing article - thank you for sharing it. I've bookmarked for future reference.

Thank you Glosswitch.

Love the article on Beauty and the Beast - it reminds me of the arguments I had when it came out with friends. We split into two camps: the "but she's allowed to read books, and she blows off the handsome but controlling guy" camp, and the "hang on a minute, he imprisons her but then true love triumphs - it's like an instruction manual in training women to stay in abusive relationships" camp.

Talking of which, I came across this the other day - : "It's a tale as old as Stockholm syndrome..."

WobblyLegs5 · 25/03/2017 22:25

B&b is awesome article. But now we need one on the new (more anti womsm) one imo. & for someone to teach Emma Watson how it is not a feminist piece. Because she appears to have lost her dictionary
