Angryresister · 12/05/2018 21:56

I think we should have a bet on who will actually be chosen.....

Done. Bellos and Berns.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 12/05/2018 22:46

I voted Magdalen and Nic Williams. Wanted to vote Julie Bindle too, but I think Nic did so well with Julia HB's radio show I'm voting for her.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 12/05/2018 22:49

You can vote for more than two people - just submit multiple forms

I’ve nominated:
Magdalen Berns
Linda Bellos
Julie Bindel
Lucy Masoud
And about 4 more that I can’t remember right now Shock (did it yesterday)

2rebecca · 13/05/2018 20:04

I don't know much about Magdalen Burns. The first I heard of her was at Venice's meeting ? Bristol but may have been Oxford which I watched online where everyone seemed to like her but she seemed drunk.

Juells · 13/05/2018 20:06

I think she's had a brain op

PositivelyPERF · 13/05/2018 20:11

She’s being treated for brain cancer 2rebecca. She’s amazing. Watch some of her videos on YouTube.

2rebecca · 13/05/2018 20:57

OK, I thought I'd heard she had an illness but when I googled her a couple of weeks ago nothing came up about it.. That explains the grogginess. They were passing a bottle of wine around and I thought that as she was in the audience and not expecting to speak she'd just been enjoying her evening.
Sorry it wasn't just alcohol.
There's also Venice and Debbie Hayton. I'm not clear what the sexuality of some prominent feminists is though. Was discussing this with my son today who said a lesbian friend of his wasn't going to Glasgow pride because 1. it's a commercial event they charge people to march. 2. She didn't feel her sexuality was the most important thing about her and didn't want to feel defined by it. Maybe now potential lesbians are being pushed down the trans path lesbians should be more prominent.

BlytheByName · 13/05/2018 21:24

Julie Bindel might win. I hope so.
I just hope it's not some handmaiden like Ruth Hunt.

Cwenthryth · 13/05/2018 21:25

Oh yes, that’s it, i nominated Debbie Hayton and Kristina Harrison as well.

I wanted to nominate Dr Julia Long but she’s not on twitter and I couldn’t find an email for her, she seemed to be missing from the Anglia Ruskin university website (that is where she works?), maybe she had to hide her contact details online..... can’t imagine why that might be Angry

DJLippy · 14/05/2018 18:28

Nobody nominated Rapey J Penis yet?

Just voted. Really hoping Magdalen is recognised

whyaresquishiesnotsquishy · 14/05/2018 18:49

Yes Magdalen has had a brain op and isn't well.

But, she's also a young woman, not long out of uni, who was in a bar with several friends, with a drink in her hand when she was on the mic.

I think it's very sweet that people are trying to make excuses for her, but come on people, a dose of reality please. Even people who've had brain ops can get drunk when in a bar!!

So, yes, she was half-cut, but even when trollied she made great points - better than I would sober!

Watch the video she made with Posie Parker the very next morning - totally coherent - also both (awesome!) women admit to feeling more than a little worse for wear after the night before...

whyaresquishiesnotsquishy · 14/05/2018 18:52

@2rebecca here's Magdalen's YouTube channel, she's awesome :)

Magdelen Berns

Ereshkigal · 14/05/2018 18:55

Think they have to be Brits, DJ, don't they? Madigan's probably your next best choice.

DJLippy · 14/05/2018 20:09

Yes I think it's just for British people
