I will also never get this whole right-wing/left-wing divide. I'm pretty certain Posie is not right wing, but the whole point of women trying to make people understand these issues, is that they need to persuade everyone.

Take a look at Dawn Butler's Twitter poll asking who people trust more, Liz Truss, or Stonewall. The resounding result is Liz Truss. With no-one anywhere near being able to persuade labour of the reasons why.
Posie is stirring things up, she is controversial, she is inflammatory. There is no other way of highlighting a situation where people are cowed, frightened, secretive and very, very intimidated.
And despite all this criticism of Posie's methods, no one is coming up with an alternative plan.
