Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

TERFing at the Turf Tavern, Oxford

Someone has stickered the Turf Tavern in Oxford with the Dutch version of the 'Woman: adult human female' sticker.
I was sent these photographs this afternoon by someone who spotted it, although they weren't the culprit.
It made me laugh, but such a pity that the sticker isn't in English!

DD will be cheered by that.
She finds genderism amongst fellow students very tedious and a barrier to discussion of a surprising number of things.

Hope the photographer was careful, might have the police on their doorstep for taking a photo of that type of sticker!

That's what put me off sharing it on Twitter!

Is she a current Ox. student? Is it manifesting strongly in her cohort or course?

(I’m long enough gone to have just had a gaudy, but the photo was making me nostalgic…)

Isn't that frightening though? You can provide cctv of a burglary but they won't bother investigating that, but cctv of placing a sticker? Sends 5 cops round your house to aggressively arrest you for hurting feelings.

Absolutely!

There was cctv evidence of the truck that wrote my car off smashing into me, pulling up 100m down the road, then taking off. There were witnesses - some who pursued the truck and got the number plate, some who saw the incident and some who helped in the aftermath.
Police decided it “wasn’t in the public interest” to pursue the case…

I should have just slapped a Women’s Rights sticker on the truck as it hit me, and then they’d be interested in me!

Her cohort, her tutorials and her college, Meniscus. Any more detail might make her a bit identifiable, such is Oxford. She says there's a stifled, fearful atmosphere whenever a perfectly good debate touches on anything to do with different history or treatment or physical nature of the two sexes. The non-binary students are the worst for leaping on any suggestion of actual sex differences, apparently, especially the girls -- sorry, female ones (and funnily enough, no one is in any doubt which of the NBs are female and which are male. It's a monumental waste of time).

DD has avoided some interesting modules entirely, rather than have to sit on her hands. She's currently wishing she had gone almost anywhere else rather than have to listen to supposedly intelligent people try NOT to have a debate.

I just googled it based on your post @Meniscus . It's quite a famous landmark then!
I wonder how long the sticker stayed up?
The person who sent me the photo didn't see anyone do it but said there were lots of people milling around.
