Congratulations to Professor Stock!

[Chutneymaura]

Well done to her, very very well deserved

[queenofknives]

Hahaha that is going to make some people soooooo angry! Does this mean the queen is GC? Are you on here your maj?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

This is excellent news. Is it in the public domain who nominated her? If it's the Tories I would say they're making a very clear mark in the sand doing this. She's only been a professor for two or three years, so it's not marking the end of a long career. It therefore looks to me that it's awarded because of the work she's been doing on academic freedoms and freedom of thought/speech. Am I being unduly optimistic?

Also, if you'd told me a few years ago that in 2020 the Tories would be the only mainstream political party taking decisive action to support women's sex-based rights I'd have laughed derisively for a long time, and I'd have been wrong. How incredibly depressing, given they're that the only major party I've never voted for and never will.

Awesome

[ArabellaScott]

Also props to Prof Stock for using the publicity to highlight the recent persecution of other female academics and some of the issues facing academia right now. Awesome.

[teawamutu]

Well deserved recognition, Doc!

Will this make it a bit harder for spiteful little blue haired twats to get her sanctioned for stating basic truths?

[SulisMinerva]

That is very well-deserved. Congratulations!

[RozWatching]

[Mnusernc]

Wonderful news, would have been so much easier for her just to stay quiet and have an easy life. I hope she feels buoyed by this, we need her to carry on!

Chilling and damning, and the examples she gives in that thread are just the tip of the iceberg.

"Aside: Observant readers will notice that nearly all the people described above have something in common. Hint: it’s not a shared gender identity. Further hint: it’s a thing that never makes difference, their critics say, and whose negligible effects shouldn't be tracked). 15/"

"Upshot: Stonewall doesn't belong in UK Universities (or schools, or gov departments, or local authorities, or judiciary, or police forces..) Once a great organisation, they’re now a threat to freedom of speech/ public understanding. Get them out stonewall.org.uk/diversity-champions-members /End."
