Gender Critical Disputes - Radical Notion special edition free to read online

[IwantToRetire]

Cant say I have heard of Radical Notion. They say:

THE RADICAL NOTION was founded in 2020 to create a space for the resurgent wave of feminist thinking and activism. This not-for-profit magazine is run by an all-women collective of radical and socialist feminists. We are committed to the materialist analysis of sex-based oppression, and to challenging the material and symbolic structures of male dominance. This moment is a historic opportunity to deepen and widen the analysis of all aspects of women’s political condition, and its foundational role in all systems of extraction and domination.

We welcome words and images from women of all nationalities, classes, ethnicities and backgrounds to illuminate the meaning of feminist politics in their lives, and to create a global picture of this political moment. Our current battle, and the social, political and environmental unravellings we see all around us are, at their root, crises of patriarchy. We want to seize this moment to speak that truth.

It seems quite expensive to subscribe but they have made this issue free to read online. A lot of it seems to be the ongoing antagonism (meaning the issues are real but seem to be motivated as much by personal fallouts) between radical feminist and socialist feminist gender critical women.

Some may remember this thread www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4662757-womens-place-uk-filia-event-the-elephant-ignored-yet-again and the revelation that WPUK seems to now be linked to the group Actual Gender Critical Left, who endlessly snipe about Karin Dansky and KJK.

Anyhow posting in case anyone wants to have a read.

Still not sure why some women think in the day of virtual opportunites to talk directly to other women, they need to go down the routed of "publishing" as though their ideas are somehow special and shouldn't be submitted to the rough and tumble on online forums like this one!

My print copy of radical notion arrived today. I subscribed to a year not that long ago, flicked throigh and landed on 'feminism is not the same as femalism' - a direct reference to Kelly Jay-Keen.

I just can't be fucked to read a magazine that is undermining a woman who outs heraelf in danger and out on the streets to amplify women's voices.

My feelings too. It’s the last issue in my subscription and I won’t be renewing.

What the hell? Why have you turned up out of nowhere to call me a troll? Wtf?

Were you not the poster calling us Farage Feminists? If so, my comments still stand. If not, then obviously my comments are directed to the poster who coined that moniker.

🫤🤣

Well obviously am that poster. I’m asking you to expand on a bullshit argument that you made. The bullshit argument was:

its misogynist to accuse women of using Farage-like populist debating techniques.

if you can’t explain how or why, without referring to ‘things I know are true’, I think we’ll all be comfortable thinking that you’re talking out of your arse. Again.

I’m impressed you can remember the arguments on the thread and who said what. Did you need to read the thread again to refresh?

You have just revived a thread that’s been dormant for a month and expect beastly to know what you are on about…

Oh so it was just a very long dinner time, I guess And whatever you had clearly made you very angry.

I think if it mattered you would have responded to me at the time, so I assume you've just turned up now looking for a fight. Not interested.

Convenient eh.

The comment is self explanatory. Nothing to add.

Ha I thought it was you! Dear God, I can't believe I've been living rent free in your head all these weeks

A over a month ago! You are querying a post from over a month ago?!?

Are you an incredibly slow reader? Or did dinner take longer to make than you realised?

Is there not more recent posts for you to get upset and take umbrage about?

You do have an amazing memory! 😂

I'm thinking it was some kind of Narnia moment. They fell into another dimension over the tea table. It was only one minute in the other world, but a whole month passed in ours...

🤣 that explains it.

Worth reposting.

This thread is so old I’ve since changed name three times.

If we're doing over February, I do look forward to rewatching Nicola Sturgeon's resignation.

Is that because you've left Nigel and are no longer a Shire Wife?

yes

I hope the press doesn’t start reprinting pics of Isla Bryson’s pink leggings.

We haven’t yet replenished the eye bleach stocks.

Nigel? Not my Nigel.

The rumours about Nige’s Bigamous Behaviour in the Shires were greatly exaggerated.
