We will get there

[Pratchet]

Just want to give a few vibes out because it's been a little depressing on here today. We will do this. We will get there. Women of mumsnet, you are incredible, and when it's all over, your role will go down in feminist history.

Much dramatic. But I don't care

Nolite te bastardes carborundum, lovely wims

The truth WILL out in the end.

Thank you ladies

We're here, we're with you. The lurkers, the infrequent posters.
I prefer Twitter myself because I'm more of a snappy quip person and can't match the knowledge and debating skills that you wonderful women exhibit.
But we're here for you and love you

Right that's it, I'm going full Churchill:

Never never never give up

And

^If you're going through hell, keep going
^
On a personal level I think are also needed...

TERFragetteCity, I ain't no lady, I am a woman (adult human female), hear me roar!

I keep being reminded of Depeche Mode:

"It all seems so stupid,
it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up
when it all seems so stupid?"

I feel a bit better just typing that out. Try it?

I got 'Nevertheless, she persisted.' tattooed on my arm at Easter, I'm 53 and never had a tattoo before.
This brought a tear to my eye.
I don't have the words to express how much I adorable you all. I was in despair and you brought me hope.

Over this last week, I too have thought about walking away, but I couldn't stop thinking about all the amazing women here that keep on posting. They fight troll after troll day after day, and they never give up.

I never have much to add to these threads, I guess I'm basically a cheerleader. But dammit, if I have one job to do on this ship I'm going to do it!

Those who continue to post in the face of all of this adversity, please know that you are all incredibly inspiring and you give the rest of us cheerleaders and lurkers hope.

for this thread and to all you posters.

We are in the middle of an information war that was predicted years ago, when I had no idea what that actually meant.

I've been thinking about the Abraham Lincoln quote a lot recently

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

because I have been despairing and the big choke hold is closing in.

It is worth remembering that everyone (apart from a stronghold of radical lesbian feminists) was fooled by this BS for a time, but more people are waking up and it will only be the few most heavily pomo invested who can be fooled for all of the time - and they are just up-themselves, navel-gazing weirdos who have no actual genuine respect in the mainstream (just pity/fear).

We WILL do this.

for all, so many posters hit the nail on the head - every single day people are changing their minds and it's a one-way journey. We can't unsee what we see or unknow what we know. We are many, we are legion and we are growing! Plus, we hold the purse strings.

Thanks pratchet, a really timely reminder

Stilletos don't think it's because of your speaking skills! Men don't get because it doesn't affect them, and they never ever want to say 'oh I see now' when a woman explains something.

Ah I appreciate that Pratchet Thanks. I'm going to see my male MP soon, and I am nervous, but I will bear what you say in mind and try to make it make sense to him.

Thanks for the reminder, we are getting there. Women matter! I will not be shut up about this issue.

to all you lovely cunty women

There's loads of us out there who believe in biology and freedom of speech.

Pretty much everyone with a vote basically.

Some of these threads have moved so fast this week that I was going to comment but I got left behind in the flood of responses or didn't have chance to comment before the thread was zapped. But I am still here, lurking and supporting where I can.

Thanks Pratchett for this thread - it is very much needed.

We will get there

This is a heartening twitter thread for anyone feeling down. Over 100 replies from women, men and even some trans people pretty much all saying WTF this is blatant sexism.

We will get there. For all the out and proud, the eloquent posters, there are also plenty working behind the scenes.
Everyone of us.
We will not be silenced.

Good to see all these lurkers emerging.

Oh no! Marauding TERFS have stumbled into the timeline - wild TERFS, just stumbling about. Everyone! Run for cover. #StaySafe - they might talk to you, you know. Protect the snowflake students from...conversation.

Perhaps if they hadn't laid the trail of REMOVING THE WOMEN'S TOILETS (!) and making them unisex - nobody would be objecting.

Men can relax - private toilets for men are still available for them (surprise!).

Clicky link! I hope there's no marauding women standing up for their rights around here...?

You will pry my peer reviewed biological science from my cold dead hands.

and to all the amazing women on here. Critical thought seems to be in short supply in the wider world just now, I often feel like this is the last bastion of sanity.

So is it another ladies bog is now gender neutral and the mans is still manly?

Twats...

Yes. They had signs made and everything.

Mens: still mens
Womens: Unisex
Plus 2 disabled toilets - one with a Unisex sign on the door ( )

And the response: Deny Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

Thanks for the thread, and for being your good selves.

We will do this.
