You are a legend! Just wanted to say Happy New Year to you if you're on here.

(Apologies if there's already a thread? Had a look but couldn't see one. Will delete this one if I've missed it.)

You. Were. Magnificent.

Well done Ulrike

Bravo Ulrike!

Awesome, Ulrika, how did you keep so calm?

This is a brilliant response on Twitter.

This is amazing!!!!

I didn’t! I became shrill..
I’d been listening to his piece with Kellie-Jay the day before and then the one with Debbie Hayton and his ramblings in between - and I knew exactly what I wanted to get across.
In that clip they’ve cut off my starting bit: that we can only move forward if we stop just saying ‘you’re wrong & that’s offensive’, we need to find a way to acknowledge & respect both sex and gender identity and then we can decide which matters where (I have some firm opinions on this of course but let’s have that debate, bring it on!)

It was a great phone call @UlrikeinYork you were incredibly articulate and effective.

I didn’t! I became shrill..

In other words you were persistent!! You were amazing! You maintained your coherent message despite feeling you had to raise your voice to be heard when a misogynist male talked over the top of and interrupted you.

Again, men using biological reactions to denigrate women. It is age old and you, Ulrike, persisted. And made him look like an uninformed bully.

More for you!!!

That is awesome! (And her cheekbones are unbelievable! Gorgeous)

And I heard it on their catch up so I heard all your call.

Men hate women who remain on message despite their me-railing and disruption!!

@UlrikeinYork thank you for being so eloquent and persistent. It's so frustrating when such reasonable positions are dismissed outright as being 'offensive' and therefore unworthy of debate.

This how far old Wolf Fleece has fallen.

Amazing Ulrike. So clear.
Being shrill shouldn't negate the message.
Another misogynistic trope that we have to swim against when getting our point across on any subject.

You weren't shrill ulrike. You were persistent, courageous, insistent and righteous! If a man wants to call that shrill, he can. Let him comfort himself with lies. We know what we heard!

Definitely agree you were not shrill. That’s the kind of thing I’d tell myself too (because we are women and have been oppressed for centuries, like you said) but you were passionate and persistent about how important this is, because it is. I wish I could be more like you, every time women like you do this it helps embolden the rest of us. Thank you and remember to pat yourself on the back!!

No you weren't shrill. You sounded like a WOMAN !

Loving this thread. :)

Fabulous work Ulrike

You are amazing, Ulrike. Thank you for speaking up so strongly for reality, to yet another man who just doesn't listen to women.

You were amazing Ulrike. So articulate and clear.

Thank you and happy new year

I was moved by what you said about first period to menopause.

Ulrike, you are magnificent

You were awesome Ulrike.

Shrill is just another word to stop women when they are impassioned & their voices show this.
You were on fire & you were right.

Great job :-)

Ulrike you absolutely rock! Thank you for speaking up for women. Loved it when you mentioned periods, childbirth, fibroids, menopause as part of your female experience (not 'identity') - JM looked pretty uncomfortable at that . No TW will EVER go through ANY of these experiences, why is it so hard to grasp how central they are to our lives...

@UlrikeinYork

Thank you all so much for your feedback, it means the world to me! Amazingly I’ve had next to no abuse even on twitter (well India Willoughby’s not happy) - I really think we’re turning a corner!

You are amazing, and you've given me the courage to speak up more about this. It's not complicated at all when you explain it.
