I hope you get to read this. Your latest video is incredible. I hope it goes viral. You’re amazing. Thank you.

Ross's daughter called JKR an audacious bitch for saying sex matters, and Ross backtracked on publicly supporting the woman his daughter used a sexist insult about, because his daughter told him to.

This gets to the absolute heart of the problem: adults capitulating to children, instead of actually leading them. That's exactly why the woke generation got attention.

Too many adults/parents think that "Be Kind* is the way to raise children. It's not. It's be truthful, firm, show them where they're going wrong without apology.

Posie is magnificent.

Just watched, she was amazing.

I mean, if that was me my first impulse would be to have a word with my child about why they were slinging sexist insults at people. Backing down at that point essentially rewards them for bad behavior.

Like you I have daughters who don't like my views on this subject. They call me bigot, transphobe, suicide enabler and worse.

DoctorTwo, do you mind if I ask roughly what sort of age group are they?

DrTwo - you won't recognise this name as this is a re-reg after a long break, but I've been impressed by your posts over the years. Sorry your daughters are going through a woke phase. Especially painful as you are one of the few men I've seen on here who really, really gets feminism.

I agree.

Also love your response, DoctorTwo

Watched this video yesterday. Was very impressed, and she says all that I feel. How people can not comprehend the damage this causes to children, oh it gives me the rage.

Like JK, she is so brave, and I appreciate all she does for women and girls.

Women aren’t important enough to have their own identity, she’s hit the nail on the head.

I love her so much.

Also did she really say ‘audacious bitch’? I mean that sounds like a badass compliment. Or does she not know what audacious means ?

@WeetabixBananaHipsterFFS they are both mid 20s. One has a daughter of her own.

@CaraDune and @Ereshkigalangcleg thank you for your kind words, this might sound a bit trite but they mean a lot.

Agreed. A wonderdul video. My contribution thus far has been small and has almost stopped during Coronavirus. I need to ramp it up again.

This might be my technical incompetence rather than a grand conspiracy, but I don't seem to be able to get notifications about new Posie videos on YT. On the plus side, got loads to watch that I'd missed.

I’m having the same issue. I’m still subscribed but Posie has disappeared from my list. My other YouTube subscriptions are working fine.

To be precise she mocked up a HP book cover with the title “Harry Potter and the Audacity of the Bitch”. Nice young woman. JR and his wife must be SOOOO proud.

Why was she banned from MN? I wasn’t around then so just wondered as it’s something she talks about quite a bit... without the actual details of why!

I didn't see the posts/thread that led to that, Plato, but I believe it had something to do with Posie's rooted objection to little girls from Muslim families wearing the headscarf. I've seen her accused of Islamophobia and I don't know if there is more to that than the headscarf issue.

The other thing that gets brought up time and again was a throwaway remark she made once, possibly on Twitter, expressing exasperation with trans men who become pregnant. Again, I can't remember the wording, which is crucial, but what she said has been interpreted as wanting all trans people to be sterilised, whereas what she actually meant (as stated on her website, I think) was incomprehension at wanted to be identified as male and simultaneously wanting to do the most female thing possible, viz, become pregnant and give birth.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g- thanks!

She was raging! And she spoke for me. Thanks Posie.

Thanks Posie.

Why was she banned from MN?

Heckling a web chat, IIRC. I think it was the Stella Creasey one?

Posie, keep on talking.
My favourite clip is of her owning Harrop on live TV.

Posie is amazing and has contributed so much to hilighting the abuse of children by those who take advantage of their adolescent confusion.
