Rubbing your make up in will cause you to rub off the woman suit you’ve been wearing and reveal the Many Breasted Bride Queen of the Underworld, Destroyer of Men underneath.

And now I know who’s been looking back at me in the mirror. 😂

I loved that. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you @TerfOnTheWagon, that makes me feel I'm not alone!

Coffee on keyboard.....

"Hiding your belly
This is a problem area for many women, especially after having babies, or killing and eating the bodies of the men who have wronged them."

I'm laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my legs, as the saying went in 2010.

In Topshop and Urban Outfitters, the blast of hot air from above the door as you enter is in fact designed to mimic the symptoms of the menopause so that older women leave immediately to protect their shrivelled ovaries. Those who linger too long in the entrance, confused by reflective spandex, are ushered kindly but firmly out of the building and into the nearest White Stuff outlet store, where somebody picks out an A-line mid-length skirt with drawings of boats on it saying ‘This is for you now’.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Good read !

Barracker · 17/11/2019 11:50

Oh my god, that writer is superb, I've just browsed her blog.
She's just brilliantly brilliant.
I'm secretly hoping she's a mumsnetter, or better still, in one of the secret social media groups I lurk in.

Her poems are magnificent.
The one about knickers. Is everything.

Thanks for introducing me to her writing, TerfOnTheWagon

Some shop assistants will see you flailing, red faced among the obviously uncomfortable heels and, mistaking your outrage for confusion, pick out some shoes and say ‘these shoes are very slimming’. It’s important to make sure you maintain eye contact while you eat the shoes.

Grin Oh joy. She's great.

Thank you, really needed this today!

koshkat · 17/11/2019 12:09

Utterly, utterly brilliant!

Datun · 17/11/2019 12:21

Wow! It's really, really hard to make writing funny and fresh. That's excellent.

I'm praying she is gender critical too.

Datun · 17/11/2019 12:21

I mean, she obviously is. But, it doesn't always translate to transgender politics.

Barracker

I found the poems - cheers!

A snippet.

"Is it really underwear

if you can’t keep your keys in there?

I cannot run or dance or laugh

with my butt cheeks cut in half.

I cannot argue or clap back

with knickers half way up my crack

I can’t think clearly, I am edgy

when I have a giant wedgie.

These times are tough, resolve must harden

so be kind to your lady garden."

Love it. Crazy rants as if it was written by an AI, except it makes total sense.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 17/11/2019 14:34

This has brightened my day

boatyardblues · 17/11/2019 15:26

The pants poem is wonderful. I have shared it.

Hidingtonothing · 17/11/2019 16:21

Just lost a fair chunk of my Sunday afternoon but it was totally worth it. Anyone read the 'Is it Bullshit' piece? A checklist for our daughters indeed Smile

Catmaiden · 17/11/2019 19:24

Omg that's so fabulous!
