Fantastic. Janice was the reason I subscribed to the Times in the first place. Congratulations Janice!

I would LOVE to see her interview J K Rowling.

Can't think of a single journalist who has a better way with words or a more fearless approach to tackling contentious issues.

What a superb role model.

StandUpStraight · 15/07/2021 20:17

Yes, Empress!! How perfect would that be?

Datun · 15/07/2021 20:29

Thoroughly well deserved. Not just for her incisive and moving writing, but also her bravery.

I will often judge, yes judge, people based on their handling of gender ideology. And she is fantastic at seeing through the issues and problems.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/07/2021 22:06

Congratulations to Janice!

Taswama · 15/07/2021 22:21

Very well deserved

Well done Janice, brilliant and brave writer, well deserved.

And as a bonus it'll piss off LOJ.

Veeta · 15/07/2021 23:46

Brava!!!! Thoroughly well deserved. If only I could present arguments as clearly and elegantly as she does. Worth the times subscription on her own.

Won't it just.

The squealer.

Fantastic!

@VladmirsPoutine

They really do hand these awards out to anybody these days. Didn't she have a mini meltdown on Twitter basically saying that a cleaner should risk their lives in the height of a deadly pandemic to clean her house because it would give the cleaner a sense of self and of course give janice more time to write groundbreaking intellectual feminist interventions for the times. A complete joke.
Owen, is that you? You sound a little bitter...
PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 09:04

Vladmirs is not squealy OJ. They most definitely could not be mistaken for each other if you saw them walking down the street together.

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 09:08

Where do people put the awards that they win?

Mine would have to go on my front windowsill.
All the paper ones I have are tucked away in a box somewhere.

If you've won journalists/movie/TV/professional awards and post here, let us know where you put them. Thanks.

heathspeedwell · 16/07/2021 09:09

Didn't little OJ get all cross about women having a cleaner on Twitter, but then let slip that of course it's perfectly fine for him to have one?

Much like when he said that TWAW but when Sarah Ditum asked if he'd date a transman he was disgusted.

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 09:15

Yes heath. He did.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 16/07/2021 12:33

You can't maintain that exhausting level of outrage and clean for yourself.

It's completely unreasonable to expect someone to deal with that catecholamine surge of physical energy by walking it off with a vacuum cleaner.

Very well deserved

And as for this:

I'm really surprised, actually, if it's the poster I'm thinking of. Not what I expected at all

Me too.

okeydokeywokeyblokey · 16/07/2021 15:16

Congratulations Janice 👏

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/07/2021 17:32

would LOVE to see her interview J K Rowling.

Twitter would implode.

Which is probably for the best at this stage.

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 17:42

There are two posters with that username, iiirc.

How?

(Apart from simple typo changes, MNHQ has never allowed that)

PurpleHoodie · 16/07/2021 17:43

would LOVE to see her interview J K Rowling.

And YES to this. No rush though. I'm willing to wait Star

Igmum · 16/07/2021 17:49

Good. Good. Bloody marvellous. Well done JT Grin

Skybluepinkgiraffe · 17/07/2021 08:23

I've just read her interview with Jess Phillips in today's Times magazine. I thought it was really good and both women came across really well.
