In order to celebrate 100 years of women having the vote, they have put seven women on their cover, including transwoman Paris Lees. Women just aren't allowed anything of their own any more, are they? First Celebrity Big Brother then this.

So many amazing women to choose from and they choose a man who's had plastic surgery to create an opening in his body and fake breasts, who writes about how much he likes to be fucked by two men and feel it dripping down his leg afterwards.

The editor of British Vogue is male, of course.

So British Vogue think these people are the "new suffragettes"... hmm. Very glad I've stopped getting Vogue these days. Not sure what Dina Torkia does that merits that description, nor Paris Lees who doesn't seem to like women very much at all.

Boredofwinternow · 04/01/2018 17:30

Paris likes women who used to have penises, plus the handmaidens who fawn over him. I don't think he'd have liked the suffragettes much.

Shame that there were no women with disabilities on the cover. Maybe they're not considered aesthetically pleasing?

Boredofwinternow · 04/01/2018 17:40

Or older women. The oldest one is Sophie Walker, who's in her forties. Because only young, attractive women are good enough to be on the cover, especially if they once had a penis.

I had to look up at least three of them because I'd never heard of them. One is a style blogger who wears a headscarf, one is (presumably) paid to talk shit in the media and one founded a magazine that is so influential that I've never heard of it or seen it.

Vogue has done better in the past.

Token trans - every women's list has one now it seems, but never a transman on men's lists, surprise, surprise. The irony of it being a list to celebrate women getting the vote including Paris Lees, born male with the right to vote.

Boredofwinternow · 04/01/2018 19:07

Just wait, it won't be long before it's the woman that is a token. The rest will be men. Men are colonising womanhood at a terrifying speed.

Arrrggghhhh!

Paris would have been able to vote 100 years ago! This isn't his struggle! Angry

Gacapa · 04/01/2018 19:24

I'm not comfortable with Vogue now having a male editor either. There was a load of hooha about how groundbreaking that was etc etc. Huh?

Boredofwinternow · 04/01/2018 19:40

Teen Vogue in the USA also has a male editor, who published an article about how teen girls can do anal sex, with a diagram of 'non prostate owners' that omitted the clitoris.

Yup. Vogue have drunk the Kool-Aid

Politicians Stella Creasy and Sophie Walker join artist Gillian Wearing, gal-dem founder Liv Little, trans awareness campaigner and journalist Paris Lees, blogger Dina Torkia and writer Reni Eddo-Lodge for a unique portrait by Julia Hetta and aVoguevideo in which they explain what equality means to them, the changes that would improve the lives of women and what the next hundred years will hold.

Ereshkigal · 04/01/2018 20:25

plus the handmaidens who fawn over him

I doubt he really likes them. I expect he despises them for it.

Sorry Melon, I'm not really following your posts....

Erm, just because they're tall, doesn't mean they're blokes, there MelonKnee.

Only Paris Lees is the transexual, Stella et al are more or less handmaidens.

You're real funny. And weird.

EamonnWright · 04/01/2018 22:19

Wut.

ILoveDolly · 04/01/2018 22:20

I think that is a tinfoil hat theory too far

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 04/01/2018 22:27

eh Paris Lees would have been able to vote

It's disappointing that Sophie Walker, leader of the Women's Equality Party is in the photo. Why won't she make a stand?

hipsterfun · 04/01/2018 22:33

I’ll give Vogue a year before it folds.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/01/2018 22:42

You mean Sophie Walker of WEP, is that the WEP that either don’t know or won’t say what a WOMAN is?

ArcheryAnnie · 04/01/2018 22:56

I came on here to say that Vogue UK have lost their fucking minds. And not just because they've labelled as a "new suffragette" someone who, because male, would have been able to vote then, it's because that the trans-identified male they've chosen to be in this group is Paris "street harrassment of women is awesome and sexy" Lees.

I totally judge Stella Creasy, Reni Eddo-Lodge and Sophie Walker for lending their credibility to this absolute fucking farce. How do they think this makes all the women for whom street harrasment and attacks aren't sexy feel?
