Men with profitable platforms who are just beginning to realise it may no longer be in your best interests to call us feminists/allies 'bigots' and 'transphobes', and now pretend to understand that the tide is turning, do you REALLY think we haven't kept all the receipts....?!

Oh dear, Campbell and Stuart, I think she might have hit on something there ... YOur dismissive attitudes to women's rights (to single sex spaces, fair sports, safety if imprisoned, ability to name what and who we are, ability to use our language about our bodies) - yes all those unimportant things - turns out they were actually pretty significant in the world's most powerful country.

Brava Ms Duffield!

If ageism is all you can bring to a conversation about reality, you're in trouble.

He has a wee bit of the Willem Dafoe about him.

Ageism is literally the only response many have. It's risible. And when it comes from people older than me, frankly absurd.

You wish it was going your way, your only doing a head count of the women who are in a position to fight back, you haven't factored in the 'silent majority', most of whom think this genderwang is a load of shite.

God these men are so fucking mediocre.

They can't get their head around women's sex based rights, seem to be entirely ignorant that working class women are a thing, and seem to think that relying on the opinions of women relatives is a reasonable level of knowledge with no shame for their lack of professionalism in doing basic research.

The fact they have the platform they do despite this self professed lack of journalistic integrity lack of basic research and all round lack of professional integrity is depressing.

Campbell doing what he does best Spin Spin Spin. 🥱

Genderwang. 😂.

C'mon Mitchell and Webb, give us the genderwang skit.

They could also re-do the 'are we the baddies' for the US medical establishment.

Exactly @teawamutu;exactly

the quickest way to open the eyes of these guys would be a round table "discussion" with Himdia and Fred (pissed or otherwise). ten minutes should do it.

"Ageism is literally the only response many have"

I won't have it! That is simply not true!

... they like to pretend that GC people are racist too.

Is it me or do women and their wisdom only exist in that short window of confusion after something has gone horribly wrong? A brief window of existence only as long as the current news cycle that fades back to the netherworld of transparency where women are but ghosts knocking over ornaments just to prove to themselves that they do indeed exist.

I just knew it would be you before I looked at the user name.

The tide HAS turned in the USA and a lot of women on here correctly called it.

I would rather listen to any two regular posters on here chat for an hour than these wankers.

I know a number of women have attempted to broach the subject with Campbell and Stewart.

They just didn't want to acknowledge or listen or investigate why so many women were talking about it and were concerned.

It demonstrates arrogance and contempt.

That's actually really what the whole thing in the US is about - arrogance and contempt and how you can't have a meaningful or nuanced conversation about certain 'difficult' subjects. The reality is the difficult subjects are the ones you should be talking about most for all kinds of reasons.

Legitimate concerns that could and should have been dealt, and frankly put to bed years ago but actually dealing with issue that arise, have instead been left to fester and in festering have become a lot bigger as a problem than they should have.

Because they didn't want to listen to people they thought beneath them.

They just wanted to perform and show off how good they were to the 'in crowd'.

Trouble is the 'in crowd' hadn't got a socially agree consensus who has a majority.

It's fascinating to see that Trump getting in is definitely having a ripple effect and the Labour strategists are shocked and appear to be having a bit of a meltdown over it.

The 'Right Side of History' thing doesn't look so clever now does it?

Yep. Turns out the 'out crowd' also had votes. Oh dear.

To be fair, it might have been Butterfly or DadJoke (assuming they're different people).

Or Felix. Not see Felix for ages.

Change starts at the top....with the adults in the room who are enabling this stuff, and the organisations pushing it.....in the universities too.

And to be honest, the generation coming up now is not having any of it; they're actually quite cynical about it....having been subject to it in school. My daughter is currently a secondary school teacher......and she says they just roll their eyes and say " Not that trans stuff again"; or else " There are only two genders - male and female". My neice said that the trans and NB identified people at her school are just " attention seekers".

History doesn't always move in a straight line. This will end up being seen as the fad it is.

I think reading Helen Joyce or Kathleen Stock might be too much effort for Alastair. We should just direct him to Magdalen Berns's YouTube videos. Accessible, forthright, funny.

Good call. Can't imagine the look on his face, though. 😄

I'd love them to do a video of them watching Magdalene Berns videos. That would be worth watching.

What about Hannah Barnes book?

Too difficult? Too many words?

Interesting, meanwhile back in the real world.

Democrats may no longer be able to rely on young voters to boost numbers, as Harris appears on track to have the lowest support among voters aged 18-29 in this century.

Harris clearly wasn't appealing to the young voters either, which doesn't bode too well for your theory that only dinosaurs believe that women exist.

Written by a woman. Words invisible. Would just look like empty pages to them.

The comments are that the other kids now all eye roll or think the trans kids are attention seeking.

If they are forced to use the wrong sex pronouns, what do we think the eventual outcome of this will be?

There was always going to be a backlash amongst this because of how it's been forced. The idea they are more tolerant is silly. They just haven't spoken up yet because they haven't had the power to.

I note the uptick in trump voters in the youngest age groups...
