UK Vogue

[Boredofwinternow]

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.

No surprise at all that Sophie Walker is there, she is savvy enough to know which way the wind's blowing. Stella Creasy too.

Melon, you are very odd.

Paris is now on twitter calling out the 'sad people' who say he does not deserve to be in Vogue despite all his hard work to end violence against women, protect mothers of trans kids, and make sex work safer. We are all sick, apparently.

I bet he was hoping for that.

Yeah it's difficult, because on the one hand you want Vogue and the other women who pandered to this to hear our voices of disapproval, but on the other it gives him the opportunity to cry bully.

despite all his hard work to end violence against women

What the fuck has Paris done on this, apart from TELL MEN THAT STREET HARRASSMENT OF WOMEN IS AWESOME?

Jesus fucking fuck, I am so angry about this.

I follow Stella Creasey on Twitter and an a huge fan. Very disappointed to see the "trans women ARE women" borg has taken hold with her

He'll write some boring article about it in the next few days calling us all middle class white women.

That is out of order melon and is reported.
You can be a woman and be flat chested. Especially if you have a low body fat ratio.

I'm trying to report Melon's post, but for some reason the site won't let me.

Reni Eddo-Lodge is firmly aboard the trans train, I'm afraid.

Hang on. So you're saying Schulman, Wintour etc are MALE? The Pankhursts were MALE? All the supermodels are MALE?

Are you David Ike?

I was talking about this just the other day with my friend! I feel like I've noticed a lot more (actually female) nipples in the last two issues of Vogue. I don't have a problem with nakedness in fashion photography when it's telling a story but these just felt exploitative.

Whatever you think of Alexandra Shulman's editorship, she did lead some thinking around e.g. size 0 models. I don't have confidence, from these first two issues I've read, that Edward Enniful has any interest in producing a magazine that speaks to the interests and concerns of adult women in their 30s and beyond, or even produces beautiful art and showcases interesting people. The whole thing feels really agenda bashing and it makes me sad, cause I love Vogue.

There's one thing being aboard the trans-train, and there's quite another thinking that anyone - TIM or woman or man - who says that street harrassment of women is sexy is a "new suffragette".

(But I looked at Reni Eddo-Lodge's twitter and it does seem that she's a homophobe, which is SUCH a disappointment.)

From Eddo Lodge's twitter account

Reni Eddo-Lodge
@renireni
It's a fucked up but true reality. In particular, I think trans women writers have best articulated the dangerous task of navigating male ego and how it can descend into violence in sexual encounters

Someone asked her which writers she had I mind but she didn't clarify.

One would have assumed Eddo-Lodge was familiar with the work of Alice Walker and Maya Angelou.

So Melon can you give other examples who are not sportswomen?

So men flaunt TIMs to born women as role models and reminders that we can be replaced at any time, that we don't own our spaces and that we should be emulating their plastic prettiness but few would stick their dicks in one. Good to know that when born women have been replaced by TIMs in public positions and especially positions of power and privilege that born women will still have roles in being those who are fucked and bear men's children. The Handmaid's Tale needs updating I think to see TIMs in league with conservative men to fuck over uppity women and keep us in our places.

Don't ask for more bizarre posts about women who MelonKnee thinks are men! This is delusional and wrong. I don't know what you're looking at if you think Bella Hadid is a man. Kit Butler is 6ft 2 btw and totally flat chested, Bella Hadid is 5ft 9 and has visible curves. Can you explain how Bella is really Kit?

Melon you give feminists fighting a just cause a bad name.
