In case you didn't see .... Billy is policing you now... x.com/billybragg/status/1744326814506373493?s=46&t=tKDDG0UDNu3hHymifhbG1w

@RedToothBrush ""stop talking bollocks you utter bellend" Adding this to my list of stock phrases for conversations with men who think they're smarter than they are.

In a wonderful bit of intersection, he’s been schooled today on the difference between an analogy and a metaphor by a professor from the university of reading.

Love this from Jo:

"Sort of like not demonstrating yourself to be a sexist prick even though at heart you may be one.

Does that help?

😂

Good job I wasn't drinking when I read that ...

Rapidly coming to the conclusion that Bragg isn't very bright. But unfortunately he's at the level of stupidity where he doesn't realise that he's stupid. Which is unfortunate.

BB is a shining example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. He thinks he knows everything about women, whereas he knows fuck all.

He’s a dafty.

Hope you don't mind me popping this here. He isn't named .... but .... where's Billy? thecritic.co.uk/the-cowards-the-pretenders-and-the-woman-haters/

Excellent piece, Jean. Completely nails it.

One small thing you might want to ask them to change if you can, is the line beginning "It also emerged this week that a boy of 4, barely more than a toddler, has been attending a primary school as a girl for three years..."

If he's been attending the school for three years, then he must now be at least 7.

Thanks @RoyalCorgi !!! Will do.

Please allow me to say how much I love that piece 😍

Happy sigh

It's gone!

It's still there if you search the site.

Great piece.

Can I have a boast? My 15 year old had PSHE at her girls school this week. It was this topic they were shown a video they were asked their view. Dd said people should be free to do what they wish but girls need to keep their single sex spaces. Dd is a cool girl so got away with this and the other girls in the class ALL agreed. Teacher was a 50 year old woman her slightly weepy response “I’m not allowed to give my own view on this but I’m so pleased with you girls”.

A cool girl, indeed! Good woman her ma!

18 months ago she was TWAW be kind type and I was a mean mum. Not any more.

That has absolutely made my day.

<applauds @TheaBrandt 's daughter >
Awesome ❤️

Oh my goodness that made me a bit weepy!

😍

Please tell your daughter well done!

I think the tide is turning with girls. They are looking at the antics of some boys and thinking ‘what the hell? Why are we letting this happen?’

Good for them.

Thanks @SquirrelSoShiny x

Just wonderful to hear. Well done to your daughter ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
