First item is the Hate bill and JK's tweets - they did invite her on but haven't heard back yet

For women Scotland will be on too.

This.

Women are not here to be shat on. They deserve kindness.

It is not kind or respectful to compel women to endure injustice and a lack of privacy and dignity through coercive behaviour.

Women are socialised to put others first and don't understand it's ok to consider their own rights and needs too. And feel it is not selfish to do this.

Perhaps we could rebrand ourselves Team "Do I Look Like A Mug?"

Being kind doesn't mean you need to let others gaslight and walk all over you. It's always fine to call out abusive behaviour, even if the perpetrators and enablers of it don't agree that it is abusive and are upset by you saying that it is.

Latin! I know feck all about Latin but could someone more knowledgeable perhaps help me out?

What does 'nostra dis pater, nostr'alma mater' mean?

I could google it but as someone upthread brought it up...

Tbh I'm not even sure it is Latin. It's from a song.

'Our god of the underworld, our nourishing mother'.

I'm fully on board with 'Do I Look Like A Mug?' as a slogan.

I think it would go well on t-shirts.

The expression always reminds me of Sue White, from Green Wing. (If you know the quote, you know.)

I don't know what Michelle Gomes thinks about trans issues or how happy she would be with her character's name being taken in vain by Team TERF, but I absolutely adore the character Sue White for her no fucks attitude and the way she relishes causing discomfort by pushing boundaries. She's the opposite of the kind, nice, agreeable characters that women are expected to be.

Thank you, Dadjoke. I’ve just shown this thread to a friend who was hovering between common sense and ‘be kind’ and just couldn’t bring herself to agree with JKR - but now she does 😁 The clincher was your mansplaining and your refusal to respond to points. We had an interesting discussion about why that might be and why you kept repeating the same untruths - and she’s here! 😁 Here on the side of women’s rights and sanity.

DJ, people like you don’t realise you do our work for us 😂

Amazing
