'Woman' is taken

[womaninblue]

Can we have some t-shirts with this on them, please?

I'm so angry with the transwoman on The Moral Maze who thinks that because there's something she calls a 'family resemblance' ie, she looks a bit like a woman, that that's enough to be a woman. That in itself is a really revealing demonstration of how little respect transwomen like her
hold for women and how superficial they are.

Yep moobs & long hair does not a woman make...
A prostate otoh always belongs to a man

Yes to tees and stickers!

Ha ha WomanIsTaken Great minds!!

and yes to tees and stickers
very much yes

That's an improvement:

The word woman is taken.

It was a zinger.

Was that Jane Fae? The same Jane Fae who said that many murders are the result of ‘domestic violence gone wrong’ and down to women having eggshell skulls?

No, I'm pretty sure it was Glinner and it was said in an exasperated 'The word woman is already taken by women, go and find your own ruddy word for yourselves' way. Hence my request to have a t-shirt to that effect.

Great idea, I listened to the first guest on that show and could not listen any longer, makes me too angry!

Was fae not a person who advocated porn ?

Oh yeah and women’s skulls were to weak to cope with being battered on the head and then dying

So weak

Porn of the kind that involves murdering and dismembering women, yes. Has stood in court rooms defending men's rights to write this in loving detail, and not about fictional characters but fantasies about real named women.

Fae's contempt for females is not something Fae troubles to hide.

Dear god, and what does a woman "look like"? Grace Jones? Peachyogurt? Maureen Lipman? Meghan Markle? Esther Rantzen? Zara Philips? Miranda Hart?

Give me strength! And still we're expected to use female pronouns for people like that one? 🙄

It was funny to hear Fae doing the huffing thing again when they didn't like the question.

I want that t shirt

The Word Woman Is Taken

That was quite a Moment.

I was so surprised that JF was invited as a witness with JF's track record. JF has written some shocking things and should be held accountable, to the tune of "To the stand in this evening's Moral Maze, we welcome JF, advocate of extreme porn, domestic violence sceptic and misogynist."
I find it infuriating that JF is allowed a platform to speak to a trusting and likely uninitiated R4 audience as some kind of expert or authority without JF's misdemeanors against womankind being highlighted.
Shit!

Oh, hello TheWordWomanIsTaken, indeed

Yes, good one Woman!

"Woman" and "Women" - they are both taken

MS: Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Inter-religious studies at Edinburgh University

GL: Graham Linehan

MS: Yes but I mean the, the point is that this whole debate is very complex and it’s very sensitive and it will continue to be complex. There can’t really be any hard and fast rules and, one of the things you’ve just said, I want to pick up on, is that, if only women are females, what name do we give to men who are suffering body dysphoria?

GL: Well, whatever name you like, it’s just the word "women" is taken.

That was one of those wonderful moments when a load of waffle and appealing for kindness is met with a statement of such clarity that it’s breathtaking.

It’s interesting that they brought up what Glinner has previously said - or think he said - but didn’t call out the bullshit from Jane Fae.

So Jane - in your experience as a real woman - how should domestic violence which has - in your words - gone wrong be conducted so it goes right?

Domestic abusers/murders are all ears...

That was one of those wonderful moments when a load of waffle and appealing for kindness is met with a statement of such clarity that it’s breathtaking.

And the fact that it was said in the most calm and rational way, with none of the usual “IT’S MA’AM!!!” - type frothing you tend to get from the other side.

My DH saw a guy at his climbing gym yesterday wearing a T-shirt that said:

I support women and cis women

WTAF!

Poor starving Glinner who can't get no work better get this registered as a trademark quick.

I can guess who's spotted a money-making opportunity already.
