I think Penny Mordaunt has started to follow some feminists on Twitter

👀

And by feminists, I mean the proper, gender critical, sort.

This is good, I think? Means she's possibly looking at the other side of the TWAW debate. I hope.

I forgot that if you're not gender critical you're not a real feminist. Only Mumsnet is the home of true feminism apparently.

What sort of a feminist would be pro-gender stereotypes?

Oh you’re back! Think Lang had some safeguarding questions you missed on the other thread?

Annie!

Come back to your thread. You left us hanging, mate. We were agog at the answers you'd give to the questions we'd posed

Also, I wondered if you'd like a game of conkers?

or Uno. I'm not exclusionary

Too busy making a big pot of conker soup.

If you are not critical of gender, a system and ideology built from and actively upholding the patriarchal hierarchy that harms women, then I can in no way see how you are a feminist. But please go on for us about how forced social roles and assumptions towards a certain sex are actually good things that feminists should accept.

I'm very against this idea of gender being something that can be played with in order to somehow destroy it's harm. "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house". The amount of misogyny seeping out of the modern "feminist" movement seems to prove Audre Lord more and more correct everyday.

Unsurprisingly, Annie strikes as the kind of poster who’d have a handy stash of nuts.

Was the other thread too challenging for you Annie ? There's that saying, don't start what you can't finish.

Please, Annie, I don't want this thread to distract you from following up on your favourite Mayor Joe who seems to be heavily connected to nonces and who is resolutely defying safeguarding rules, just like he did when he got himself a questionable job in schools.

OOOH. Don't know about that Sonic. Sounds informative (in a vile repellant sort of way)

the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house

How very true.

Oh yes. HIM

Yes, nuts in a bag.

Sorry women, Annie's only capable of making snide and stupid comments, no wonder she feels out of place on FWR!

Getting back to Penny: that is super interesting. Not that subtle though so, she is pretty much making an announcement by doing so?

will be interesting to see if Penny 'TWAW' Mordaunt is going to engage in a meaningful way with the people she's following or if she's just there to gawp....

Who has she followed?

I had a look

Margot James is one

But it's the Goody that is most interesting

PM doesn't think TWAW, she's not an idiot. I think she said it to give herself some breathing space from all the hassle, she's surrounded by trans advocates who would have mobbed her day and night if she hadn't thrown them a bone. First Victoria Atkins comments, then the ROGD inquiry, meeting just one (NOT ABOUT THIS OH NO) and now this sort of twitter bat signal. She's going to have a hard time of it if she's taking the GC view.

Meeting Justine not just one

I hope she does, I'll be right behind her, I've got faith. Don't disappoint us Penny!

I'm beginning to suspect a fifth column thing going on. Surely nobody could be this bad at PR?
