I expect GG has had a lot cleverer people attempting to sneer at her in her many years as an intellectual giant.

She would be curious to find out if Ash could manage a smart arse answer. Which she wasn't up to, GG would have been disappointed taht Ash's reply was so feeble .

crispbuttyfan · 17/05/2018 17:56

So GG is an intellectual heavyweight, nah, never was.
She was relevant for a while in the 60's, now she just trolls people..

And yet again, the Guardian comic is linked with the optimism of the ever hopeful.

But we're not really talking about Greer are we crispbutty? We're talking about the intellectual paucity of the kids who say they're her intellectual equal. Do you have any defence to make or are you just going to throw your soggy chips at Greer?

Tinkletinklelittlebat · 17/05/2018 18:09

Radicalised?

Ffs. Let's minimise radicalisation and chew the scenery trying to make a point. This endless misuse and vandalisation of language is fucking tedious and just makes them look dim.

Picassospaintbrush · 17/05/2018 18:11

GG said the same stuff again on Woman's Hour this week, she is saying bringing up things that happened 20 years ago is too late for a prosecution, and this will be the cause of it breaking down in court, which is an accurate reflection of the some historical offences cases.

She is exhorting women to act immediately, and not wait.

She also says it's devastating on the women that do act now or later because they get torn to pieces.

That's really not trolling.

CircleofWillis · 17/05/2018 18:17

@crispbuttyfan
I think the difficulty is that while some people are happy to stand on the shoulders of giants, they then use the advantage to take a piss and a dump and swear blind that they got up there all by themselves.

gendercritter · 17/05/2018 18:35

she does understand the nuance of the debate.... because she has taken time to listen to trans women, and had a trans friend.

Ah, excellent. For those like me who are a bit dim, can you explain how knowing nice individual trans people has any relevance to the fact that getting rid of sex segregation will lead to vulnerable women being under greater threat from predatory, opportunistic men? Because I could have sworn that lots of people here have trans friends or have had contact with nice trans people or, heck, are trans themselves but are still fucking frightened rather concerned?

You do realise this isn't a debate about trans people at all? Not really. I've seen it written thousands of times on here that the vast majority of us would say trans people are free to live their lives as they want but we have a problem when men want to encroach on female spaces. That there are lovely individual trans people is irrelevent. I've only met nice trans people.

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/05/2018 18:35

Ash is an idiot and those flapping hand movements she does to draw attention to her fingernails are fucking annoying.

SamanthaBrique · 17/05/2018 18:37

Ash still lives at home with her parents so I'm not sure she dies much championship fucking @gendercritter

DJLippy · 17/05/2018 19:25

Sneering at Germaine Greer and flicking her hair at her?

I added the hair flick. You know, because she definitely would have Grin

of sex segregation will lead to vulnerable women being under greater threat from predatory, opportunistic men

please show how this will happen as a result of GRA reform?

Oh wait we've been through this, you all say the GRA relates to the equality act... which it doesnt.

I point this out and how there is no evidence of uptick in risk to womens safety since the Equality Act was established in 2010...

Someone posts a wordpress interpretation of the equality stating exemptions between women and men, as if it applies to women and trans women, which it clearly doesn't as is the point of the equality act.

Then, someone derails and says the 'swedish study', I point out it was misrepresented and the author explicitly agrees, even though that is not proof of an uptick in risk...... someone says the author doesn't know what she talking about, and gender identity doesnt exist

Then, I point out the endocrine society, and every recognised medical institution and the W.H.O. says it does, and it is understood to be innate.....

Then someone shouts big pharma....

Then someone will derail about Monroe, Shon or Paris saying something or dressing a certain way interpreted as misogynistic or problematic....

I point out the infinite number of cis women who say the same things or dress in the same way....

Then everyone starts freaking out ans shutting the conversation down because someone dared to say cis.

Phew! That saved us all some time right there!

DJLippy · 17/05/2018 19:44

the endocrine society, and every recognised medical institution and the W.H.O. says it does, and it is understood to be innate....

No they don't. Gender dysphoria is a delusion which causes it's sufferers to feel revulsion with their sexed bodies. They weren't born in the wrong body, they just feel like they were.

Stop trying to de-rail this thread it has nothing to do with Shon Fey's wobbly head or Ash Sarkars hair flick bad bitch routine.

Anyone else think Shon going through a Rachel from Friends faze? I thought gay guys knew how to dress but Shon looks like she's been buying her clothes off a 1998 Littlewoods direct catalog...

I'm sorry but your entirely wrong.

They're still operating though?

Novara Media was dissolved 9th January 2018
(Different) Novara Media was incorporated 4th January 2018

I'm sure theres nothing dodgy about that.

thebewilderness · 17/05/2018 20:13

The only pathway to employment provided by the corporate media for commercially viable "feminists" is anti feminism. The form of anti feminism that is currently called sex positive or liberal feminism.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 17/05/2018 20:38

Yeah everyone crispbuttyfan always wins the argument. Everytime. Just like that.

Thank you for saving everyone from themselves there. I almost had myself tied up in knots thinking the whole entire human race knows what a woman is and what a man is. But then you came along.

Thank fuck for you.
