another bumpy

'men can be feminists'

sasa frasin grrrr

no they fucking can't

WokerThanWoke · 05/10/2018 15:10

Some great comments on that thread, no doubt they'll all be ignored.

gendercritter · 05/10/2018 15:17

Some great comments. It's times like this I wish I was on Twitter

Charliethefeminist · 05/10/2018 15:21

Lol that's a classic. Maybe they think if we vent on that, we'll stop complaining elsewhere about its cowardly journalism. I think not, handmaids.

Badstyley · 05/10/2018 15:32

I’ve tweeted them, for all the good it’ll do.

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 05/10/2018 15:52

Is feminism promoting the woke but otherwise unremarkable daughter of two figures in the public eye just because she happens to have famous parents when another women without her connections would kill to get the opportunities she does?

Sorry, I just find the constant pushing of Scarlett Curtis in the media absolutely tedious.

borntobequiet · 05/10/2018 15:57

What is that utter bullshit about pink pants? And who is that pink haired drip?

ErrolTheDragon · 05/10/2018 16:01

Apart from her second point re feminist being vital for the sake of women in other countries ... either uninteresting or wrong.

Now, WH, take note of the responses. The elephant in the room remains, whether pink or not.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 05/10/2018 16:01

Ah, I did wonder why the beeb are pushing such a nonentity

Now I’ve googled her parents it makes sense

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 05/10/2018 16:02

Yeah, doesn’t look like many liberal feminists follow woman’s hour on Twitter

ErrolTheDragon · 05/10/2018 16:11

Oh ... just googled to find out who she is, seems the video may be a tie in to her book launch.

I've no idea about what the book is like - but even if it's feminism-lite, promoting 'feminism' as A Good Thing to youngsters is laudable, so I'm about to elevate Top Shop up the anti feminist shitlist

ErrolTheDragon · 05/10/2018 16:14

The book:
www.amazon.co.uk/Feminists-Dont-Wear-Pink-other/dp/0241357187?tag=independen058-21

Some sort of anthology so hopefully at least good in parts?

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 05/10/2018 16:14

yeah, the only thing she said that made me cross was men can be feminists

the rest was fine - a bit fem lite and there are about elevnty bajillion other people i'd rather hear from on the subject, but good luck to her

silentcrow · 05/10/2018 16:16

X-ref: Top Shop takes down pop up shop in 20 mins flat.

Cwenthryth · 05/10/2018 16:31

Who’s Scarlett Curtis?

Charliethefeminist · 05/10/2018 16:33

Oh my god. Yes I agree good luck to her and top shop taking down the pop up has swing in her direction. But why are all these people still agonising over what feminism is.

silentcrow · 05/10/2018 16:37

Oh boy, just looked at that thread and it's an absolute car crash. How can they not have anticipated the answers to that question?

They are obsessed with us. They've all piled on now. There's lots of TRAs on there telling about what feminism means to them.

from an individual who has posted on this board today

Trans Women are Women & are the biggest ally of true Feminism!

and they call this an echo chamber!

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 05/10/2018 17:00

I love the fact that trump style, men can't just be feminist allies, they have to be the biggest allies of true feminism

actually some of my best friends are feminists
