Grace Lavery on Woman’s Hour Today (7 April)

[CaveMum]

Why on earth I do not know, but the “delightful” Grace Lavery is on Woman’s Hour today.

This Grace Lavery

Let's just say that whoever at WH decided to have GL on, they knew what they were doing.

Radio is the perfect medium.

Listeners across the nation are choking on their tea at this ALREADY

Grace's academic background is doing Grace no favours 😂

'woman is a political category'

We are going to need a transcript to appreciate the glorious batashittery of this word salad

Such diversion tactics! Nit picking about that question. It’s not a bizarre and pointless question.

midAtlantic academic waffle versus Emma's wonderfully clear incredulous delivery ...

Interesting to have someone who's compared their penis to a miscarried foetus on straight after the item about the death of babies and women in a maternity scandal

Tens of thousands of listeners up and down the land are hearing a male voice on Woman's Hour go "woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis woman's penis".

As might have been expected: word salad.

Let's just say that whoever at WH decided to have GL on, they knew what they were doing.

I have a suspicion someone there isn't 100 per cent onboard with TWAW.

Coming across as a failed Oxford interview. Grammar, semantics, I reject the premise of the question...

Bore off.

'Can a women have a penis is a bizarre and dangerous question' says our Gracey.

I think most people could agree with that, but not quite in the way Grace thinks.

Women who are invested in patriarchy don't believe the class women can include people with penises.

Oh really Grace?

maybe later on, not in real time, my fingers don't work that fast these days!

I'm rubbish at transcribing or I would do it myself

X-post with WinterTrees

Now onto 'a spiritual experience'

I’m sure soooooooo many women with empathise. Not.

@millytint44

Woman's hour doesn't exactly have a great track record. I stopped listening when they had the audacity to use phrases like pregnant people / people who have periods. FFS if you can't say "women and girls" on woman's hour

How long before it becomes Person's Hour?

It's going to be quite the transcribing challenge.

1000 words a minute, and all of them incoherent.

.. I was standing in a hot tub and I felt those words leaving my body ... I would describe this as a spiritual experience ... what it might mean to no longer be a man ...

Has Grace the first clue how this comes across?

If you weren’t gender critical before listening to this waffle you are now.

I'm transcribing but my fingers are freezing and I'll need to go back once it's up as a recording and fill in the bits where I was doubled over laughing I missed.

Me, me, me....

Being a woman is all about Grace.

But luckily Grace is now going to tell us about being a victim of misogyny
