Dick-ter Harrop never recovered from the Sky interview against Posie Parker. Trans followers were affronted that a self appointed bloke had represented them instead of someone more stunning and brave.

He gets less and less retweets and hoorays these days. His admonishment of the Metro has been a damp squib. He must be gutted as he waves goodbye to a media career.

Thanks for the link @MaybeDoctor, I've made a small donation.

Signed a left wing, minimum wage, feminist, British pro-choice advocate.

I know I am missing the point of Jonny Best's excellent tweet here, but actually we could EASILY raise enough for a Metro ad by selling cookies and crochet.
The women at my local church made £500 from a craft show recently, including the sale of tea and cakes. Four of those and we're sorted Smile

Harrop is crying big saucers of man tears over this.

I've donated to both FPFW and Jean Hatchet.

placemats · 11/10/2018 14:37

I love to crochet and I love to bake.

Mary Berry is my go to cook. YouTube for the crochet.

MaybeDoctor · 11/10/2018 14:59

Are we not allowed to post the donation link? Sorry.

breastfeedingclownfish · 11/10/2018 15:06

It's actually pretty funny reading them whining about women fundraising in their own interest and spending their own money.

Look at the actual state of this

Whence came the money?

From lots of us, Teresa. Lots and lots and lots of us.

A woman in a quilting group I’m a member of had her hand pieced quilt appraised for ten thousand dollars for insurance purposes.

That would be the doxx of the century, wouldn't it?

Silly buggers!

If they are so concerned about cuts to rape crisis centres they should donate to them.

Personally anyone who brings this up doesn't give a shit about rape crisis centres. Doesn't give a shit about sex based safe spaces for women and girls. Doesn't give a shit basically.

placemats · 11/10/2018 15:16

I'm angry. I'm not apologising.

OvaHere · 11/10/2018 15:16

They have no idea how many of us there are do they?

Stuck in their own little woketopias where starting a gofundme for life saving make up and taxi rides only nets you a few quid. As a community they are woeful at grassroots fundraising so would be screwed without the top down interventions. I predict those won't last forever though.

Badstyley · 11/10/2018 15:16

I’d love to know where the money for all these TRA/AWA to sit around on their arse’s all day on twatter comes from?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 11/10/2018 15:17

Be fair placemats, some of them are donating to such centres. Unfortunately the donations always seem to be their personal time rather than something appropriate!

placemats · 11/10/2018 15:19

Or a donation in the toilet bowls or sinks.

placemats · 11/10/2018 15:21

My aunt is dying and I can't relay the story I have about her and her personal care. Thankfully it was swiftly sorted.

I'm not going to apologise.

breastfeedingclownfish · 11/10/2018 15:22

Quite impressed with Metro's response actually.

I think we need to do a birdseye on the Metro and thank them.

RedDogsBeg · 11/10/2018 15:27

All these tweets telling women how to spend their own money are excellent examples of the misogyny at the heart of this ideology:

Women, if you actually have any money you can call your own you must spend it as we the men tell you to spend it and we are now going to guilt trip you and tell you you should have spent it on services for women who are seeking safety from men.

Women you must not think and act independently of us, you must do as we say.

This is no more or less than an absolute hatred of women and desire to crush them totally.

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 11/10/2018 15:27

So they are going to boycott a free paper, good for them i guess?

Do they know it's a free paper?

breastfeedingclownfish · 11/10/2018 15:28

I am rather bemused that they keep ranting on about how women's money would be better spent on something other than what women choose to spend it on.

But it shows very clearly what we need to know about their attitude to women.

And why they are so fucking livid when we disobey.

breastfeedingclownfish · 11/10/2018 15:32

Ha ha, boycotting a free paper.

What are they going to do? Scream bloody blue murder when they see said free newspaper sitting on a train chair?

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 11/10/2018 15:34

I hope they send emails refusing to buy the paper.
