Much to enjoy but especially the takedown of the woke celebrities:

"In fact, it has been a devastating lesson in the credulity of public figures. A ‘Brass Eye’ episode that made itself. It’s as if half of polite society announced they had bought shares in a Nigerian goldmine and anyone who questioned the wisdom of the move was in league with Nazis."

*Read her statement again. Where is the bigotry hiding? ... What’s wrong with it?
The truth is, there’s nothing wrong with it. There’s nothing wrong with any of it.
The response to Rowling’s statement demonstrates what women with less power, but just as much compassion and sense, have been trying to tell us for a number of years. Namely, that gender ideology is bad for women. That it erases them and insults them and endangers them, and when they dare to discuss this issue—and ONLY this issue—they are ssubject to disproportionately severe penalties. Maya Forstater lost her job, remember. *

Well said, Glinner, and HNY.

Short and powerful:
Women are to be colonised, erased, silenced and put at risk, and if they protest in any way, even in the most careful and civil terms, they are putting their faces to a blowtorch

Excellent .

that is right. No amount of capitulation will ever be enough for the TWAW brigade. We might as well not mince words.

It's a great article but click on the photo of the year link at the bottom. That one needs brain bleach to unsee. I've not seen such a disturbing sight since a portly male neighbour got a bicycle.

sporting

I’d take your portly neighbour over Emelia any day of the year. Especially before breakfast .

Fantastic article. Trying to find courage to share on Facebook.

How stupid and naive of me to first think that “photo of the year” picture was mocking and cruel. I thought it was immature to make fun of a man who liked to wear dresses and was sporting an obvious erection in a tight dress whilst making a speech in public. I didn’t realise said man calls himself a woman, successfully lobbied to roll back women’s rights and tells people to suck his “girldick”

MangoesAreMyFavourite · 03/01/2020 10:27

Exactly. And obviously getting off on the validation and power to hurt / demote / erase women.

But back to JkR... "It’s as if half of polite society announced they had bought shares in a Nigerian goldmine and anyone who questioned the wisdom of the move was in league with Nazis." This!!!!

Marvellous. Thanks Glinner

Redshoeblueshoe · 03/01/2020 19:11

Thanks again Glinner

Oops, apparently we haven’t been civil enough when discussing the trans woman who took the NY Democratic State Committees seat that has been reserved for women for 100 years (it’s linked in the glinner article)

Remember people, women are supposed to kind, even to those attacking their rights.

What aren’t we allowed to say about that photo?

Binterested · 03/01/2020 21:58

I realise that question is now impossible to answer.

YourOpinionIsNoted · 03/01/2020 23:55

Anything other than "stunning and brave", I expect. Hmm

Anything other than "stunning and brave", I expect.

I’m sure the people front row were certainly stunned when they saw that ‘eye to eye’. 😁
