Posie Parker is just in make-up and about to go up against Mr Harrop. Please tune in and send her lots of good vibes!

Brilliant Posie!

Dear Adrian was utterly outclassed

The Dr will be fine btw, he'll surround himself with people who tell him they agree with him (what they say behind his back is another matter). The Dr will block out any voices who disagree with him, he will imagine that those people aren't as intelligent etc as he.

He will be back again tomorrow or sooner on Twitter.

Still haven't read the whole thread - but I just listened again, and when Posie asked him about how many women he had harassed on Twitter, he started to say something.

He started to say "I have targeted... " and then stopped. I wonder if the penny dropped there too - "targeting women" is still aggressive and misogynistic Mr Harrop. Not a good look for a doctor.

I think these men in their twitter bubble just forget what the real world opinion is - which in a nutshell, is "of course woman is an adult human female, what's offensive about that?" and "of course women don't have penises" and "of course targeting women on twitter for their opinions is harassment".

Just watched it and think Posie was great towards the end. I keep wondering what I would have thought if I didn't know the background to this. It's just the strangest nonsensical argument.

writingbymoonlight · 26/09/2018 18:46

So buoyed up by this! Well done that adult human female Flowers

Posie Flowers

You were just brilliant.

happydappy2 · 26/09/2018 18:52

Posie-you were great-no hatred, just the truth. Well done.

On the topic of shutting gender critical women up - see the latest by Jane Clare Jones on Twitter's new proposed policy. It finishes:

For those of you out there still sitting on the fence, or who still believe that I, and everyone opposing this ‘civil rights movement’, is just a nasty evil hate-mongering bigot, please, if you give one shit about women and the protection of women, wake-the-fuck-up. This is actually happening, it’s scary as shit, and we may well be running out of time. This is what woman-hating totalitarianism looks like. This is not a fucking drill.

More women standing up to this nonsense.

And of course Orwell got it right in 1984.

It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.

I think Harrop took this quote too literally.

arranfan · 26/09/2018 18:59

I meant to say that the above is in response to Harrop mentioning that Standing for Women's Twitter account has been removed.

Great article. Thanks for linking

placemats · 26/09/2018 18:59

I don't think so bird.

It isn't going to happen.

Wow! I'm in awe of Posie.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 26/09/2018 19:01

Do we know why Harrop has changed his profile pic from one with scrubs & stethoscope?

Velella · 26/09/2018 19:02

So, hundreds of tweets under the Sky News clip.

Small percentage say wtf are they going on about

Small percentage say TWAW

Overwhelmingly majority say "she is 100% correct"

Despite that, twitter and @mnhq have banned Posie.

As the saying goes, wrong side of history my arse.

Someone on Twitter said it looked a bit like a Fisher Price stethoscope. Perhaps they were right. Shock

Here’s my favourite twitter comment so far.

And Aidrian please, please, PLEASE stop digging.

I really think MNHQ should re-think their ban of Posie.

It's not going to look so smart that MN joined the ranks of the mass silencers of women. This is all beginning to come out now.

Posie was banned for saying the stuff that she just said on Sky News.

MN should stop letting men appropriate, control and censor women's language. They should stop this rubbish right now.

Bolloxio · 26/09/2018 19:10

NO way does Harrop have a future career in the media. He did come across pretty deranged at a fair few stages of that. The interviewers did seem a bit biased, and Posie did well. I do think Harrop thought his view was mainstream and he would be showing Posie up. He looked absolutely raging.

CrackpotsArePots · 26/09/2018 19:11

He is a silly smartarse boy, with no self awareness, no emotional intelligence. And a bully, to boot
