Oh Langcleg I want to believe you re:Twitter but it's still so dispiriting to
see all the bs written down - at least if I don't see it I can almost pretend it isn't happening...

Howyou!!! If only I could have read it like that initially. Think I'll go back and reread it with Parklife! mentally inserted - thank you!

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:06

Those comments by that self-important clueless fool make me despair for humanity. She even says it's gender critical people who are the abusers flipping victim and perpetrator. I don't fucking think so.

Howyoualldoworkme · 02/04/2018 14:18

terryleather I worked in a University for 30 years, I find "Parklifing" saves many an unwise comment

terryleather · 02/04/2018 14:41

Howyou Ah, I can see now why Parklifing would come in handy for you...thanks for sharing your tactics, I think I'm going to be using it rather a lot from now on as it's very effective in defusing my radge!

terryleather · 02/04/2018 14:47

Honestly Eresh how has someone so ignorant got a job as a lecturer and written a book????
I'm often pushed to the point of frustrated tears by the pishwank I read on Twitter, but it's just so much worse when it comes from someone who is actually paid to teach others...fuck queer/pomo bs and the mind rotting it's responsible for

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:49

They just learned this nonsense but never learned how or why to question it.

UpstartCrow · 02/04/2018 14:54

Howyoualldoworkme Maybe I should try 'Park Life!' instead of 'fuck off'

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 14:57

Fuck off works too.

terryleather · 02/04/2018 14:59

They just learned this nonsense but never learned how or why to question it.

And that's even more scary as they're teaching the bs to others.

Upstart My usual response to the bs is a hearty fu! also but now I think about it Parklifing would probably be more effective - no one likes being laughed at especially those of a narcissistic bent...

Elendon · 02/04/2018 15:01

I secretly fancy Damon Albarn and Phil Daniels in this video.

shakeyourcaboose · 02/04/2018 15:03

All together now.. "And we all go hand in hand" will absolutely have to use the Parklifing when it comes to biting down comments that would probably cause me to become unemployed!

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 15:04

Someone should go in and post "Parklife" in response to every one of her mindless tweets.

terryleather · 02/04/2018 15:04

Christ that video makes me feel old, they're all so young and fresh faced.
I still feel like the 90s was only a decade ago...

Howyoualldoworkme · 02/04/2018 15:04

UpstartCrow Unfortunately saying Fuck Off to students and self important lecturers wasn't encouraged (NASAL )
It's very very helpful dealing with TRAs on Twitter and for helping with my blood pressure and stomach acid.

terryleather · 02/04/2018 15:06

Ha! I was just think the same Eresh!
I have some important procrastinating to do so that could a job for me...

Elendon · 02/04/2018 15:13

Gosh yes, terryleather where did all the decades go?

Obviously, I'm still in the 90s mode when looking at the video.

Ereshkigal · 02/04/2018 15:14

Please please please Terry I'm having a twitter break today!

MrsFogi · 02/04/2018 15:22

God help our children - this is from the National Union of Teachers!!!! Can we hope for the Mermaids guidance to be tweeted next to assist those women who know their place and are going to get on with supporting the cause?

QuentinSummers · 02/04/2018 15:28

Me too Terry

MrsWooster · 02/04/2018 15:29

Fuck that shit! A union is its members, not an autonomous entity that gets to virtue signal the Koolaid fuelled fantasies of a few. When they ask us, the members, for a line on where a woman's place is, they can print that on a t-shirt.

Their suggestion that it is ok because it's having a go at WPUK and that's ok as it's a different union's member that started it is insane, as the NUT (as was) has campaigned for us all to be one powerful union of which NEU is the first step. Perhaps we should go for a separate women's union..?

PollyBanana · 02/04/2018 15:39

It's a very unifying slogan.
EVERYONE hates it!

merrymouse · 02/04/2018 15:53

Why are trans people my ‘comrades’ and not men’s comrades, and is this just trans women or also trans men? Do female Tory MPs get to be my comrades too, and if not, what about conservative trans people? Are gay men more or less my comrades? Is Eddie Izzard my comrade when he is dressed as a man, but not as a woman? Has Caitlin Jenner become my comrade now? Why?

So many questions.

MrsWooster · 02/04/2018 16:16

Another thread has just been put on saying Kiri Tunks, gender critical, has just been elected leader of the NUT part of NEU so hopefully there'll be no truck with this ol' shite.

user1487175389 · 02/04/2018 16:21

Supporting them to do what? They're not usually disabled. They have all human rights accorded to citizens of their country. They're men. What could they possibly need from us?

newtlover · 02/04/2018 16:38

there used to be a union of women teachers (NAS/UWT)
