Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

any more jokes? Grin

Quentin - some of the Royal Robbins clothes are smart enough for work tops but, because they’re designed for travel, they are incredibly forgiving in terms of wash, hang up, put on. They look slightly better if ironed, but it’s not a requirement.

Can I have a hot toddy please, I think the lurgy I've had for WEEKS!!!! is coming back and it's all gone a bit yikes! out there with multiple accusations of transphobia.

"I saw Goody Proctor cavorting with the Devil!!!!"... Hmm

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:39

bbc hosted an actual debate didn't they! Although I get the impression that maybe they didn't really mean to

[thlhat]

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:40

Oh my hat went wrong

Meant to be Halloween Smile but it's been a long day

terryleather · 05/03/2018 18:47

I missed it Tallulah.
Should I catch up with it or will it give me the radge, I think I need to be in a calm place now...

terryleather · 05/03/2018 18:48

Oh and I'll have another toddy for medicinal purposes you understand...

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 05/03/2018 18:55

It started with a properly annoying propaganda video and improved into a discussion in which Nic Williams and Sarah Ditum and a dv survivor were given an actual hearing.

I'm not surprised the #nodebators are kicking off

Brew cheers

terryleather · 05/03/2018 19:39

Oh that sounds much more positive than the usual #nodebate nonsense, in which case I shall have another toddy to celebrate.

Cheers to you too!

Uuurrrghghgh Labour.
I have to say JJs recent posts are making me more sympathetic to the TRAs. So confused my head might fall off.....

I strongly suspect the LP don't really want all women short lists so this situation is perfect - still have the shortlists so they can look progressive but render them useless by allowing self ID.

It's a win-win for misogynist lefty dudebros and fuck the actual cunty women.

It scares me where this will all end...

So more WineGinis called for I reckon!

Quentin "I have to say JJs recent posts are making me more sympathetic to the TRAs."

why's that?

QuentinSummers · 06/03/2018 19:17

I found her insulting towards MN regulars including me on the white feminism thread. And it's made me wonder what kind of things she says to trans women in other circs. Might explain some of their vitriol.

It certainly has made it hard for me to want to part with any more cash for her crowdfunder despite agreeing with its aims

quentin

I haven't checked it recently but did the thread go all speculative again, it didnt look like it last time i saw it

I wish they would just delete posts

And i agree with you re JJ

Riverside2 · 06/03/2018 20:49

on a totally different note...

people complaining about their DC for no reason, even when "light hearted", really gets on my wick. Why would you slag someone off when you are the one of the two people who brought them into the world in the first place?

QuentinSummers · 06/03/2018 20:50

I don't mind it. DC can be annoying, good for people to have space to vent.
