@OldRoberts953 Yep, I'd watch that. And the strength of this list is that it's not dwelling on the stuff that went wrong recently but what went right more often than not.
My pitch for Doctor Who, which featured @eddiehallWSM as The Doctor, had him throwing away the sonic screwdriver in favour of a large, rusty hammer and saying things like "Daleks? I shit em" has been turned down. Clearly a case of discrimination. The kids would have loved it.
Mr. Davies,
For a brief, fleeting 10-15 years, WE ALMOST HAD IT. The years between 1998-2012, roughly, we were very close, when no one really gave a damn either way. I remember it distinctly. An enormous shift in attitude’s & acceptance had occurred, after the horrors of being gay in the 80’s to the early-mid 90’s.
I was NOT alone in feeling this, even amongst the upper echelons of the ‘Gay Mafia’ I used to hang around with said the same.
The original aim was EQUALITY & we were, more or less, there.
Then along came identity politics, gender ideology & Que*r Theory, which screwed everything up.
Stonewall’s CEO, Ruth Hunt, said in 2014/15, & I quote, that their shift in focus was “known to be controversial, that it would be difficult, that people would LOSE by that & that herself & the staff thought THAT WAS A PRICE WORTH PAYING.” In other words, they KNEW this would receive pushback, yet were unwilling to listen or engage with those of us who had serious concerns.
A subsequent Stonewall CEO, Nancy Kelley, called lesbians “sexual racists” for not including men in their dating pool.
Michael Cashman called for those who had questions, predominantly women, about this shift to be “defecated upon” & there was “no debate” to be had.
And NOW look where we are.
Look around at the utter mess we’re in.
If you’re going to “look at yourself as an idiot”, at least be aware of WHY you might feel that way & what part you, yourself, played in it.
You cannot cheerlead & encourage an ideology that has caused so much destruction & damage, & then pretend to be flummoxed as to the reasons WHY everything has got so much worse.
Just so we’re clear…
@jk_rowling@CrunchAlias@DannyWxo I put this together to show just some of the discrimination women have had to overcome since 1960. I’m fed up of straight white males in dresses telling us what a hard time they have.
@MichaelRosenYes Currently busy with Y6 SATs marking. One correct response to a question was "improved fuel capacity". Every single time I read that phrase, I heard "Improved Fuel Capacity? That sounds TERRIFIC!" Every. Single. Time. #harrybo
@brianmlucey The same kind of weirdo who's taking photos of all the other rooms in the school's new build and posting them on the school's website, I would guess.
@OldRoberts953 Simmer down, Gar, for Pete's sake. It started in 1962. Or 1844. Or maybe 2600. May God bless the good ship Wikipedia and all who sail in her.
