Seriously? I am just sick of this. Kettled into the corner by mumsnet, conferences threatened, representatives of the Fawcett society screaming victim and attacking women because she fails to do the one job that she is in that position to do.

I believe Leanne is the head of security for the conference

Seeing her do security at various feminist meetings made me wish I could be a lesbian. I just can't (totally vanilla straight) but gosh she and her colleagues are amazing - funny, strong, in control, and kind.

Just bought my ticket (and to the Saturday night party) + a solidarity ticket. Will have to see if any of my RL friends are going, otherwise I'll be a Billy nomates.

Hope we have a MN posse at some point!

@IntoAir I will be a Billy no mates too, maybe we can have a drink?!

At the first FiLiA I went to there was a get together for MNers. Maybe set up something similar? It led to me meeting some amazing women

From that “Southampton antifascists” post:

for those of you who view this as cancel culture please imagine the tangible fear you would feel if you were to be consistently harassed, fetishised, attacked and ultimately murdered for just being who you are.

Seriously, just fuck off with this pack of lies and remind me again how many TW have been murdered in the UK in the last decade? and how many TW are in prison for heinous sexual offences? how many women have been consistently harassed and threatened for stating the fact that woman is an adult human female?

Just get to fuck with this DARVO garbage.

I'd love to do security for FiliA - do you think they need any extras?

Well they’re not wrong are they... women live this shit on a daily basis...

FiLiA have posted a robust response to this - it seems anonymous complaints have been submitted to Portsmouth council identical to the wording of the Facebook posts

In other exciting news, Jenni Murray is announced to be speaking at FiLiA conference!!! Think that’s worthy of its own topic maybe :-)

I only just noticed Filia has a verified tick, is that new?

Yes I think it happened a couple of days ago, FPFW got one too.

Fantastic news about Jenni Murray!
