I don't have social media. Never have. I do read twitter though. Particularly GC women. Has anyone be reading @feminist_rachel the last couple of days? She's pretty much summed up my feelings in a much better way than I ever could! It's brilliant!

Thanks OP having a look...

Her 'sick to fucking death' thread? twitter.com/feminist_rachel/status/1286010284625231872

I read it earlier, it's brilliant.

It's a really frustrating time, and I think she summed up perfectly how the majority of women are feeling right now.

DialSquare · 23/07/2020 16:28

Agreed. It's the old hell hath no fury feeling. She's knocking it out if the park and taking no prisoners!

God that's good. Just sums it all up

The ‘sick to fucking death’ thread resonates with me a great deal.

eyeoresancerre · 23/07/2020 16:42

God that was brilliant. She's amazing. Wait for the hatred to start though - brave woman.

DialSquare · 23/07/2020 16:43

A few have tried and she's seen them off!

That's exactly how I feel

Not a single thing to argue with.

Wow

wellbehavedwomen · 23/07/2020 17:07

In a nutshell, right there.

Absolutely brilliant.

MrsWombat · 23/07/2020 17:16

Wow. Just wow!

onalongsabbatical · 23/07/2020 17:28

Brilliant. Wish I was a tenth as articulate and with a hundredth of the verve. I'm just tired of it all.

rednsparkley · 23/07/2020 17:46

The 'sick to fucking death' thread was amazing and said everything I feel. I shared it on fb as I am not on Twitter

Lamahaha · 23/07/2020 17:50

Came here to post this rant. It's beautiful.

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 23/07/2020 17:51

Yup. Top rant!

BaronessWrongCrowd · 23/07/2020 17:51

Exactly how I feel.

The sick to fucking death thread seemed to me to echo what the general public is starting to think, not just gender critical feminists.

There was an element of 'oh for fuck's sake just shut up about it, we know the agenda' contempt.

It's certainly resonating with numerous people.

I agree with this. I'm slightly ashamed to say that I don't have any feminist credentials. I come from a working class background in the East End of a London. I left school at 16 and didn't stay on for A levels let alone go to University. Feminism just wasn't on my radar. I haven't heard of most of the feminist icons that you ladies sometimes mention in these threads. But I started reading this board a few years ago as gender ideology just didn't sit right with me. I've learnt so much and agreed with so much that the amazing women on here have said. I think I may be a little bit of a feminist now! So much so that I feel confident enough to post now too!

All of that. And it's all in plain sight, fully evidenced.

Yes, I too am fucking sick to death of it.

PopperUppleton · 23/07/2020 18:31

DialSquare me too! Now I have feminist books on my shelves and everything! Radicalised by Mumsnet Grin

WHAT A THREAD! StarStarStarStarStar

I made a decision around the time of JKR's essay to sign out of twitter for the good of my sanity, but the sheer weight of the responses to this are so heartening.
Can it be true? Is the tide starting to change?
