Allison Pearson’s excellent article in the Daily Telegraph yesterday.

Isn't it people believing there's an "essence of women" that got us into this mess?

A brilliant article, ww have 5 daughters who attend two different all girls preps and they have been receiving a similar education as described. It's worrying, we are both against it and yet powerless as similar schools are doing the same.

I'm sorry, I can't. It's Alison Pearson.

The main thing that worries me about the whole feminist/trans debate is who some of the bedfellows are.

Back in the 1970s, you'd have found that the left - or sections of it - were fully supportive of the Paedophile Information Exchange, while the right were opposed to it.

Glinner's latest Substack contains a link to this article about how PIE operated in the 1970s:

It's worth reading in full, but this bit stands out:

'When Peter Hain, then president of the Young Liberals, described paedophilia as "a wholly undesirable abnormality", a fellow activist hit back. "It is sad that Peter has joined the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade. His views are not the views of most Young Liberals."'

Just remember that when people try to smear us as right-wing. History will not judge these people kindly.

Hmm.

Perhaps if some of these right wing women had been more critical of Maria Miller and Penny Mordaunt it would look a little less as though they were jumping on a band wagon.
