I love this. Particularly her point about cognitive dissonance.

I got to 'that's not even the worst thing' and had to stop for a bit. And she was right.

Just got to this bit too, am making a cup of tea wondering what on earth the bad bit can be...

rememberatime · 11/09/2018 22:16

This woman is everything I want to be. Can I identify as Posie??

Her message is so true - it's time to stop giving a fuck

Wilhemenawonka · 11/09/2018 22:18

I think I've just fallen in love. Posie you are amazing

SandraTheBee · 11/09/2018 22:22

I made my daughters 12,14 and 16 watch it. Bloody amazing woman.

DuggeesWoggle · 11/09/2018 22:27

Love this. The truth is a powerful thing. I wish I had her guts.

UnderHerEye · 11/09/2018 22:29

Posie is on of the GC women who I first encountered (online) and I think the reason she resonates with me is she articulates brilliantly exactly what the problems are, and why women need to start standing up for themselves and each other, and she cuts straight through the bullshit.

That was wonderful watching ❤️

Melamin · 11/09/2018 22:31

I love this Smile

She's right, we need to protect all those girls out there who are being told having boundaries is not allowed / unkind. Inspirational.

Wow! Brilliant rant and she is right about us needing to speak out whenever possible.

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 11/09/2018 22:42

She is brilliant. And she has really made me think- no more time to be polite.

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 22:42

Yes yes yes!! Posie Parker that was brilliant. Thank you Gin

OytheBumbler · 11/09/2018 22:46

Place marking so I can watch this tomorrow.

Theswaggyotter · 11/09/2018 22:58

Fantastic posie love it.

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 11/09/2018 23:03

Love it! Though come to think of it, I don't think I've seen her around here for a while...? Has she been banned again ?

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 11/09/2018 23:07

Loved it!

Chuckling over so many parts, like when the so called feminist follows her outside saying "you're obsessed with genitals" and some guys with beards were watching."

As a "newbie" I don't know much about Posie. I used her video on meeting her MP to help me approach my MP (thanks Rowan).

On Twitter there seems to be some discord between some of the radfems about her and I don't know why (sorry Posie if yr reading - not sure if you are on MN? I think you are brilliant by the way!)

If there are any links to her posts or history I'd be grateful for a steer. I nodded profusely and laughed so much, while feeling the frustration and anger. Thank you

ponzusoup · 11/09/2018 23:15

Ah thank god for some common sense

PersistenceIsNotFutile · 11/09/2018 23:16

Too many people think we have to agree 100% on everything in order to be united on some things. We don't. Posie gets that, and she is right.

#IstandwithPosie. Her rant was epic.

Iused2BanOptimist · 11/09/2018 23:39

Laughed my socks off and sent it to DD ahead of her seminar on transgender rights (she's doing a module on the politics of feminism or something). Suffice to say it was not well received. Naughty Mummy. God I hope she doesn't totally swallow the Kool Aid Sad

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 23:39

Posie is a troublesome woman. She thinks for herself and refuses to stay in her box. I've not been a feminist very long, but if I had to say who I was styling for, it'd be Posie.

brainache78 · 11/09/2018 23:57

'It's just not penises'

I want that on a mug or a key ring.

kayaking · 11/09/2018 23:58

Oh Posie, you are WONDERFUL!

PerverseConverse · 12/09/2018 00:00

That was amazing. I'm a newbie too and that for me was the perfect explanation via rant of what the fuck is wrong with all this trans bullshit.

placemats · 12/09/2018 00:18

Gosh I feel so much better after watching that.

I have to add though, seeing all these women take in the cognitive dissonance bullshit reminds me of when I was a young child growing up in an Irish Catholic community (Northern Ireland). The priests were adored, especially by the women: women who were treated like shit even if they were fully compliant with all the bullshit. Non compliant women were seen as deranged and dangerous. As a child looking at this all I saw was men dressed weirdly giving orders and ruling everyone. The odd one was okay. AS A CHILD I KNEW it was BULLSHIT. What bothered me was the adults thinking it was all very normal.

As you can probably tell, I'm no longer a Catholic.
