These women are so intentionally blind to Israel’s atrocities & war crimes in Gaza, to the filmed IDF rapes of prisoners & the unimaginable suffering of Palestinian women & girls, it never crosses their minds that they might be the ones who shouldn't be at a feminist conference.
"To use an analogy that is perhaps inappropriate, but I can’t think of another, now feels like having finally walked out on an abusive relationship, in other words the most dangerous time." https://t.co/EDIoDoZzjl

If you'd like a quick reminder of some of the far right & racist figures Posie Parker aka Kellie Jay Keen has platformed with, the thread below has 10 examples (up to 2023) each one opening up into its own detailed thread.
It's also handy to share 😉
You don’t have to vote for or support Labour. You don’t have to rate or like @jessphillips. You don’t have to agree with everything she has said or done as a politician. But she has put more energy and creativity into addressing men’s violence against women, girls and children than just about any politician.

This thread is for @sally_hines. It deals with a few matters of *fact* where prisons are concerned. Sally is quick to counter facts about male violence with a couple of well-worn sexist troupes.
When we talk about the risk of sexual violence posed to female prisoners when we place trans identifying males in a female prison estate, the response comes in one of two forms:
1. Why aren't we talking about the hideousness of sexual violence in prison rather than drawing on transphobic stereotype of a trans woman is a sexual predator?
2. Sexual violence is a huge problem in prisons, especially male prisons and such violence is one of the reasons trans identifying male people need to be placed in the female estate.
