Posie Parker Ate My Homework

I'm not surprised by the vitriolic ranting against Posie, in a way it just goes to show how she's getting under the trans rights activist's skin.

I've seen everything from:
POSIE PARKER SECRETLY GOT RID OF A PERSON'S GCSE COURSEWORK!!!!!!
To
SHE'S SO UGLY SHE LOOKS LIKE THATCHER !!!!!!!!!

The daily fail even did a "disrespectful women" slant to an article on her.

www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6218395/amp/Blogger-billboard-defining-woman-adult-human-female-blasted-Morning-viewers. (If someone could tell me how to do clickly links I'd be grateful, I've even googled it, and still failed)

The heartening thing was the commenters on that post weren't having any of it.

I wish Posie was still here. Flowers for all the personal hate that's being sent her way. Debate her by all means, but its getting so low it's practically below ground.

let's not set her up as some kind of perfect demi god.

I don't think she is. I just believe she is in her element on the screen, thinking on the fly. Even if she cocked up in some way by doing something off message I wouldn't give a shit. Who hasn't cocked up?

AnchorMum · 30/09/2018 17:32

I find Posie inspiring. So what if I don't agree with everything she says.

She is charismatic, articulate, energised, truthful, intelligent and attractive.

I feel so much better after seeing Posie put the world to rights.

KatVonGulag · 30/09/2018 17:45

I love being Posie's Skank! Cool

Ahem. I’m PosiesSkank.

I think the beauty of Posie is that she can’t go ‘off message’ because the message is absolutely what she thinks. This isn’t a talking point, or a spin doctor, or an elevator pitch, it’s what she believes.

I think if Posie was trying to convey someone else’s message she might be less good at it.

placemats · 30/09/2018 17:58

No one is a 'demi god' in this shit storm of a scenario.

When MN introduced amended guidelines for FWR a few months back, one of them was that they would probably not permit, "I'm Spartacus" threads in the future.

We may have found a substitute for Spartacus: Ahem. I’m PosiesSkank.

Molokonono · 30/09/2018 18:13

Honest to Goddess I'd give my last Rolo to be able to wear a pair of red slacks like Posie did last week.

I'm definitely PosiesSkank.

BettyFloop · 30/09/2018 18:13

Another one skanking for Posie Smile

Meaning of skank

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Skank

Derogatory term for a (usually younger) female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, but not necessarily. Can apply to any race, but most commonly used to describe white trash.

Ahem!

arranfan · 30/09/2018 18:22

placemats - I think the name is being claimed because MNetters were being labelled Posie Skanks on some Twitter account or other.

It's rather like being proud rather than shamed at seeing PP labelled a Disrespectful Woman.

I may be wrong.

PosiesSkank · 30/09/2018 18:23

I know what skank means, I just don’t care. 🙂

Anyone else remember an old ad where someone said ‘I’m Posie’s Skank’ then someone else came along and said in a really deep voice ‘No, I’m Posie’s Skank’, only (funnily enough) it wasn’t Posie’s Skank they said?

PosiesSkank · 30/09/2018 18:26

My other name is BesmirchingMotherhood, another AWA insult I borrowed.

placemats · 30/09/2018 18:28

I passed a lot of homeless women when I made my way back to the station.

All called skanks. All obviously on drugs and on the game.

Don't appropriate this word. Rise above it. Demolish.

Get real.

placemats · 30/09/2018 18:32

Other people on twatter say women are anything men want them to be.

I'm not going to say that though.

Anyway, I have to go.

Made dinner, got a glass of wine, not large, and am off to ring my mum.

PosiesSkank · 30/09/2018 18:34

Enjoy your wine.

Budgieinaberet · 30/09/2018 18:40

Wine already Shock
That's a good idea Grin

AnyFucker · 30/09/2018 19:06

I am a pie faced skank < channels Breaking Bad >

LangCleg · 30/09/2018 19:07

I know what skank means, I just don’t care.

Also me. Just another in the long, boring line of misogynistic slurs applied to non-compliant women. Witch? Transphobe? Bigot? Hag? Harridan? Slag? Tart? Skank?

Couldn't give a shit. Cos what they really mean is woman who won't do what I say, which gives me that funny feeling in my tummy and sends me into a rage. Quite happy to be called any of those names because I have no intention of doing what I'm told.

Catmint · 30/09/2018 19:13

@PosiesSkank

It was Babycham. Grin

Datun · 30/09/2018 19:20

Exactly. I quite like the sound of skank. I know what it means too, I heard it on Will and Grace.

But it's making into a verb that I'm enjoying. I don't know quite what it means I might do. But I'm prepared to have a go.

Talk to the hand, I'm Skanking for Posie.

PosiesSkank · 30/09/2018 19:27

Catmint!! Thank you! I can’t believe you got that from my completely shit and inaccurate description.

(Also, of all the gin joints etc, it’s me - Humps...😂😀😘)

Budgieinaberet · 30/09/2018 19:30

Talk to the ✋ I'm skanking for Posie
What Datun said
Can I have that T-shirt please ?

AngryAttackKittens · 30/09/2018 19:48

Agreed with everything silentcrow said at 13:37. We need a multitude of voices, and having them is a strength. The whole point is that these changes are opposed by a broad spectrum of the public, and supported by a very narrow demographic. So having nice soft-spoken reasonable as can be women like Agnes and assertive take no prisoners women like Posie and calm rational intellectuals like Dr Nic all approaching the issue from different angles is a good thing. We don't need any one of them to represent every one of us perfectly - what we need it lots of different people speaking out and demonstrating that the opposition is broad, while the support is narrow.

R0wantrees · 30/09/2018 19:54

I only think of Ska when someone talks of skanking. I like ska, happy to skank!
