Inspired by this completely sane and not at all unhinged post by Brianna Wu about UK terfs, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the "dreadful middle-aged women" who have pushed back on trans ideology and have continued to say "No" to middle-aged men like Brianna/John.

I'm a few years off being officially a middle-aged woman but I hope to be just as dreadful when I get there. You're all an inspiration. 🙂

'Yeah no UK society has like totally gone downhill from the cultural and political peak of <re-reads tweet> er... the Spice Girls??'

Or the Spice Middle Aged Women, as they are now😁

John/Brianna is an American male, about 48-49? with no connection or apparent expertise in the UK, it's politics and social structure. So he's entitled to his middle aged, poorly informed male opinion, and I'm entitled to laugh him off as dreadfully overconfident and I'll informed

I'm a fully fledged middle aged, v proud to be and v proud that we in the UK are leading the way. It's really quite nice to be at the top of the game for once! All hail the boring old dinosaurs keeping calm, speaking the truth and standing up for women, children and the vulnerable.

Dreadful Middle-aged Women, keep driving these numbskulls around the bend.
I take very much the opposite POV from this dreadful shill, Wu.
Britain is an absolute oasis of sanity, common sense and zero BS in this area.
From JKR, to H Joyce, J Bindel, J Bartosh, V Smith etc...to Nurse Peggie and the Darlington nurses etc.
Wu thought it would be so easy, women would roll over as Sturgeon tried to get a rapist in a woman's jail, the Tavistock should gleefully medically transition teen autists and gays, cyclist Emily Bridges should be allowed to continue his failing male career in the female group. Etc etc.
Damn those a Dreadful Middle-aged Women.

Spectacular DARVO there in Wu's post:

The parochialism.
The regressive, paternalistic attitudes about women.
The cruel delight in putting people in their place.

Yup, just about sums up gender ideology in a nutshell!

borntobequiet · 25/05/2026 15:42

The Spice Girls? Cool class mobility? Goodness me.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/05/2026 15:42

Regressive attitudes and cruel delight at putting women in their place? Well yes… fortunately women of all ages in the U.K. weren’t having it.

GreyskySexRealistsky · 25/05/2026 15:44

Those dreadful middle aged women, who cares what they say?

translates as: If I really didn't care what they say they wouldn't even be on my radar....yet here I am making a post about them

Screamingabdabz · 25/05/2026 15:44

Gamer-gate and dreadful middle aged women sounds perfect to me!

I’d rather have that than freak show contestants and incels. Or megalomaniac tech bros and AI girlfriends. Or roid-heads and influencers. Or pick any other permutation you like really…

Jeez middle aged women are coolest baddie bs I know! Especially the TERF ones. 🫶🏻

GreyskySexRealistsky · 25/05/2026 15:45

Anyway, it all boils down to the fact that HE'LL NEVER BE ONE

'I'm not sure what the best of British culture is, but we're seeing the ass end of it'

This from someone who can only call to mind the Spice Girls as examples of British culture - obviously he wouldn't know the ass end of British culture from its elbow🙄

Theeyeballsinthesky · 25/05/2026 15:49

Jonathan is sad - Oh dear how sad never mind

FreeeeeeeeFreeFalling · 25/05/2026 15:50

😂😂😂
No offence to any ex Spice Girls on this board, but I am loving that he reckons they were the epitomy of social achievement.

Keep talking, Mr Wu - more lovely sunlight.

Scared the dog laughing so loudly.

Poor old Bri. Women's rights, safeguarding children - such an affront to these men.

TiredMagpie · 25/05/2026 15:53

Dude looks like a middle aged guy. Ever so grumpy, I find.

On that thread I pointed out that Dreadful Middle-aged Women eventually become Dreadful Old Women of whom I'm proud to be one. 😁

RogueFemale · 25/05/2026 16:01

Dreadful and Proud.

Literally.

DialSquare · 25/05/2026 16:04

Dreadful Middle-aged Women? Oh John, you have no idea….

Overtheatlantic · 25/05/2026 16:08

None of those words together make sense. Signed, a Proud Dreadful Middle-Aged Woman

1984Now · 25/05/2026 16:09

Do we file this along the wonderfully sisterhood-inspiring video of Alastair Campbell's dear daughter pontificating on all things "ugly old TERF bags"?

I'm twice as dreadful as I was yesterday but only half as dreadful as I'll be tomorrow. It's a process I can't wait to see how dreadful I'll be by my 70s.

TwoLoonsAndASprout · 25/05/2026 16:12

Can we get a t-shirt please @BoiledBeetle ?

Northermcharn · 25/05/2026 16:40

😆😆 Oh John Walker Flynt - you sad desperate little fck. You're a flea on a flea of a woman, whatever her age.
