Posie Parker's latest - Glasgow

[TheShadowyFeminist]

I wilted in the heat so missed the pub afterwards. But PP's comments on the 'fawning' I'm finding interesting. Because even at a meeting of women who are fighting for their rights, and the right to say no to any male, irrespective of identity, being given access to female only services/space/provision/sport etc. it seems that female socialisation kicks in when a male wears a dress.

I've been involved in this fight for a number of years now, and I've witnessed how the inclusion of males, irrespective of claimed gender identity, often shifts the tone, the balance, the atmosphere for women & limits what they will say/do to further their cause. It also means that some women who really need that female solidarity can't access it.

I think the 'fawning' is something that we al need to reflect on & work out why this is how some of us behave over someone who (as far as I'm aware) has failed to acknowledge their part in writing guidance for schools that breach female children's rights under the UNCRC.

I think we all need to 'be more Posie' in life & activism.

Hasn't PP just said she is supporting removing Gillick competence? Thats some weird sort of feminism...

Oh god you’re boring

Lols. You're really clever aren't you?

On the available evidence it is outstandingly clear that BernardBlack is a hell of a lot cleverer than you DisgustedofManchester.

HTH

I think both bernard and disgusted are completely right in their last posts

bernard is really clever

She is, but it's a low bar to clear.

I agree with Disgusted, RedDogsBeg and Rufus that Bernard is really clever. Should we do a poll?

We need an aibu poll but on here

Okay, everyone. You can all just go and sit on the stairs in the naice Chat until you've calmed down.

Don't make me go and talk about how often I wash my sheets!

It’s not how often you wash them. It’s how often you leave them on the line overnight.

I saw this tweet earlier and thought of this thread.
