Just heard this. I'm beyond furious.

Just going through that article by JCJ posted earlier in the thread.

'Misogynist child with column in major left-wing newspaper: SHUT UP BIGOTS. YOU’RE THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT GAY PEOPLE WERE ALL KIDDY FIDDLERS'.

She's good!

but McKinnon was returned to Twitter after a tirade of mysognistic bile, coincidentally (?) around the same time Linda Riley (the lesbian feminist who runs a magazine for lesbians and claims to advocate for women) said that she had contacts at Twitter and would see what she could do.
Ffs.

Jane Clare Jones if you're reading Flowers And please drop in and tell us all about it. Twitter's loss can be Mumsnet's gain.

Makes me so angry! She has demonstrated so much integrity, insight, humor, solid feminist grounding, and badassery. Reading her and watching her interact has taught many of us some of the finer points of effective argument and diplomacy. I will miss her.

Twitter can go and take a jump, it's crap anyway and JCJ was one of the few reasons I stuck around.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 09/04/2019 20:08

Perhaps Twitter could be useful as kind of internet flypaper.

DiscontentedWoman · 09/04/2019 20:28

Unlurking to agree with everyone here, especially Scrimshaw - JCJ is the only reason I am still on the fucking cesspit that is Twatter

ScrimshawTheSecond · 09/04/2019 20:52

I've just deactivated my account. I expect my quality of life has already risen by approx 4%.

Ereshkigal · 09/04/2019 20:58

Jane has posted on here before, hopefully she will again. A large Wine awaits you @ladyprincesexual

aprilviolets · 09/04/2019 21:00

for some reason I'm struggling to post on here tonight. It keeps asking me to sign in when I'm already signed in

FloralBunting · 09/04/2019 21:02

Finally taken the leap and made a firm decision to never click on the vile platform again. If owt happens, I trust people who are happy to click through will screen shot it, but that's my red line drawn.

WizbetisaNizbet · 09/04/2019 22:11

It looks like Jane Clare Jones's account is back on Twitter.

Telesilla · 09/04/2019 22:27

Delurking to cheer for JCJ - hurrah! Wine
And I had only ventured to Twitter to look into deactivating it, 11 years on from joining. Might stick around a bit longer.

LizzieSiddal · 09/04/2019 22:38

I’ve had to deactivate my Twitter account.

It is indeed the toilet of the Internet and it’s not good for my mental health. The level of ignorance on there re this debate is quite frightening and as the saying goes, you can’t argue with stupid.

It’s only been 3 days and I feel so much better.

WineGinCake to those who keep going.

LizzieSiddal · 09/04/2019 22:39

I’m very glad that CJC’s account is back up and running.

BitOfFun · 09/04/2019 22:41

So relieved!

FloralBunting · 09/04/2019 22:47

All respect to JCJ, and I shall relish any links to particularly devastatingly good threads on an unroll link, but I'm done. I support the brave amazons who have chosen to stay and keep battling, but for the sake of my inner equilibrium and as my own small contribution to lessening the influence of the fucking hole in the ground that Twitter is, I'm not going back.

I think we all know the real mission is the face to face and elsewhere. Twitter's place in our culture is going to be fleeting in the grand scheme, and I am happy to hasten it's demise.

GirlDownUnder · 09/04/2019 23:08

Anlaf I also found this thread sobering - it's a huge list of women who have been banned or suspended

Sam Barberr @SamBarber1910*

This is a #BarberThread about the fact that Twitter regularly suspends and bans feminists for the crime of fighting against sexism and for sex-based rights.
Proof will follow.

I'm with you, FloralBunting.

littlbrowndog · 10/04/2019 08:11

She’s back. 💪💪💪

sackrifice · 10/04/2019 08:15

Jane is back - Helen is back - HURRAH :)

Debbie got suspended for posting that MN screenshot from the person that revealed their ID due to a court case involving MN.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 10/04/2019 08:30

Well if that person wants to reveal their ID, wtf is the problem?
