Prof Stock on Woman's Hour today

[Bittermints]

Is this the week they're doing a lot of stuff on gender? Anyway, saw a tweet earlier from Professor Stock that she is on WH this morning. Don't know what time. Should be worth a listen. She is so clear and cogent.

Women's hour starts at 10 (in case anyone reading this isn't familiar with it!).

She's on with Sally Hines, an academic who's whole career is based on being woke, as far as I can see.

Should be good!

You can listen to Radio 4 online here www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_fourfm

Doc Stock is awesome. So want to listen.

However Hines appears to be the Farage of gender studies very little critical thought evident just assumptions and parroting populism, quite strange for an academic.

Will make me shout lots at the radio no doubt.

And "puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul"
Or was it "pullllllllllllllllllllllllll"

Oh brilliant. Thanks for the tip-off. Doc Stock is great

What are sex and gender?

The starting topic!

I actually came to start a thread with the exact same title

Sex is so complicated

🙄🙄🙄 I think we should use "assigned make/female at birth"

Aaaanndd intersex. 🙈

Hines thinks the term 'assigned a sex at birth' is useful. And she's bringing intersex into it.

(says a sociologist)

I think most WH listeners who aren't well versed in the subject would have been utterly bewildered by about halfway through Hines' opening speech. Nice work on the obfuscating.

Oh this person who leaps from sex to gender to sex, mentions intersex as a proxy for transgender, how frustrating!

Dr Stock being very good.

I already want to throw things at the radio!

Excellent refocus by JG though. And well done her for picking up on 'cis'

So painful to listen to - one of them anyway: The intersex / gender / non binary one

Sex is a social construct! Hilarious. Can hear Kathleen Stock sighing in frustration

It is probably a good idea for her to explain her terms - total smoke and obfuscation.

It really is hard to listen to.

Batshit lol

JG definitely has strong feelings on this. Voice shaking slightly when talking about women's lives and the way in which they are disadvantaged.

FFS black women and working class women are still bloody women.

Argh no

JG is total GC

hierarchy of difference - I'm not understanding what she is rabbiting on about there.

Sally Hines is a fucking idiot
