Woman's Hour have tweeted asking feminists to respond:

So please feel free to tell them how you feel.

The question asked by WH was "what's the biggest lie about feminism you've been told?" so I suspect that response was meant to be an example of a lie!

MnerXX · 05/10/2018 17:30

Do you think they realised what they were walking into?

Charliethefeminist · 05/10/2018 17:37

Lol they'll pay attention to the transactivists with a sigh of fucking relief

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 05/10/2018 17:41

And that is why these tv show have a twisted idea of their audience.

"That ‘woman of the year’ can be a man."

Excellent!

It warms the cockles when Right wing bigotry gets mentioned in relation to us (I'd guess) mostly lefty women

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 05/10/2018 18:29

I think the radical label is growing on me. It’s a bit bonkers though to think that basic safe guarding is now considered radical. I wonder what they will think of the likes of me drinking tea on a Friday night- tearing the living room right up!

Lol at Joss Prior gallantly trying to deflect the onslaught of “women don’t have penises” 😂

RedDogsBeg · 05/10/2018 18:40

No idea who Joss Prior is or why they are spamming that Twitter thread but reading their interaction with one person re Karen White Joss appears to lack cognitive reasoning skills. If, as Joss asserts, TWAW and on the back of Self-ID if you say you are a woman you are one then the only prison they can be placed into is a prison for women.

Yes, the Prison Service have fucked up in this particular case as they have acted in advance of legislation BUT the natural outcome of Self-ID and the TWAW mantra is exactly what happened with Karen White. Safeguarding is now a dirty word.

'Wah Wah Wah mumsnet meanies, boo hoo' 😭
These chaps need to grow a pair.

RedDogsBeg · 05/10/2018 18:44

And now India Willoughby has weighed in with the usual Mumsnet haters spouting poison bollocks.

TerfedOff · 05/10/2018 18:48

This is an interesting thread from a banned poster complaining about mumsnet.

They got banned then? Not a huge surprise to be honest. And whinging about it? Awww wee Diddims.

RedDogsBeg · 05/10/2018 18:57

There is/was a poster with the name SistersofMercy all over the FWR board recently - the same one?

FekkoTheLawyer · 05/10/2018 19:01

Likely I'd guess. Naughty person

ErrolTheDragon · 05/10/2018 19:17

MumsNet supports free-ish speech within the talk guidelines, for any lurkers who may or may not be banned. The normal ones, not just the extras re trans.

LemonJello · 05/10/2018 19:17

These chaps need to grow a pair.

A take it you mean a pair of ovaries? If only wishing made it so...

gendercritter · 05/10/2018 19:26

This was one response from a (trans as in non-binary) female. How can any woman think this? Men are at a disadvantage playing against women?

I blanked out her name out of consideration.

Did someone compare being trans to being left-handed? That’s just sinister.

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 05/10/2018 20:40

Sinister is the greek word for left handed.

ErrolTheDragon · 05/10/2018 20:42

Boom tish Grin I didn't notice that one.
The only significant difference between a left handed person and a right handed person is that they may be a bit rubbish at using scissors, isn't it?Confused

borntobequiet · 05/10/2018 21:12

I’m pleased someone noticed my little joke.

Is there any truth in this? And does it really matter if there is, given, spaces should be segregated by sex vs feelings? Curious, anyway.
