Wishing them all the very best, and meanwhile, a gold star for Julie Bindel for 'unbreakable wifi code' in this interview. 😂

God BB is a fucking cunt.

Ha!

As a straight mum of a teen lesbian, just thank goodness.

I just watched the video of JB on GB News in the OP of this thread: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4763614-julie-bindel-v-billy-bragg she says Martina Navratilova is involved too.

BB is a bellend. (I never use that term, but it just suits him).

I think JB comes across so well in the interview in that thread. I wonder how many detransitioners they are going to find when they do the research.

I didn't need a mental image of LOJ coming. 😀

I know,. It's absolute bollocks isn't it. It's not like there isn't a thread a day about it! Some people just will not acknowledge misogyny, because it's inconvenient.

Women have been targeted for meeting or talking about gender ideology, sex education, women's sport, outdoor swimming pools, language, dating apps, lesbianism, lesbian clubs, dating sites, biological functions like abortion, and yes, stillbirth, also knitting, sewing, women's literature, publishing, music festivals, rape refuges.

And, of course, mumsnet itself, the biggest gathering of women in history, is targeted relentlessly to shut it down. Downnnn. You scary wims.

In fact, any single thing that women say, assert, or even think should exclude a man, is targeted.

Men do not like women talking in private, sharing spaces, tools, support, experiences, tools and resources.

And I don't blame them.

Obvs.

This article about the needs of lesbians being ignored/subverted by mainstream progressives and liberal feminists is worth a read and mentions The Lesbian Project:

thecritic.co.uk/metoo-isnt-just-for-straight-women/

‘I am not a lesbian. As a feminist, I know I share interests with women who are not like me. At the same time, there are experiences I will never have, problems I will never face, and social positions I will never occupy. We should all be invested in the feminist fight against objectification and sexual coercion, which in recent years has been termed the #metoo movement. Nonetheless, the way in which this has been playing out for lesbians and for straight women seems to me has been radically different. As a member of the latter group, I increasingly feel that what little gains we make are coming at the expense, not of men, but of other women.’

ArabellaScott did you see you were quoted in Suzanne Moore's Substack?

'some horrible Mumsnetter'?!

Still, merits a wee namechange. 😂

You'll have to sue Suzanne Arabella! That comment must constitute literal violence at the very least 😂

I like the new name!

Yes, Mrs Overton! Nowhere does it mention my habit of clutching pearls!

@EndlessTea Martina Navratilova is their patron. Kathleen Stock is another founder & Joanna Cherry is an advisor so lots of ladies who really annoy LOJ. As a heterosexual woman in her 50's even I've noticed how little the L has become in recent years in the alphabet soup (despite being the first letter said each time) even before some XY bods started to claim they were lesbians too. I wish this new organisation every success.

"Little Owen Jones".

Not a Lesbian but interested in the project.

Quite right too. After all, whenever women meet to talk about their rights these days, groups of beskirted and bePampered men say it makes them feel unsafe. Not sure why you were trying to deny them their validity.
