The men - and it's always men - who trot out this shit are forgetting one teeny tiny point: yes, a lot of native British men commit rape. That's why it's so fucking wrong to import MORE rapists from abroad.
No sorry, you don't get to claim that. These are the only female MSPs that are listed on the Parliament website with a surname starting with "M"... and you are not there.
I didn't make the rules.
Monica sold out women and she continues to push for men to access women's spaces.
Her attempt to claim that she was the victim of misogyny only highlighted her hypocrisy.
She stood to applaud a gallery full of men - some of whom are now exposed as advocating violence.
@HoraNoona Oh I still have a copy of that book! One of my most useful books when I was learning. Simple arrangements, LH over 5 notes, chord symbols and decent RH fingering and shifts.
Unfortunately most younger students now don’t know the carols.
He can call himself whatever he wants. But his words show us exactly what he is: a toxic man speaking like one. Trying to intellectualise rape and turn consent into some sort of academic exercise is gross. We are exhausted by this BS.
@thefempire50 It’s awful. I had it a number of years back, but no one mentioned it could be connected to menopause. Ended up getting a steroid injection, which was brilliant. Still couldn’t lift it above a certain point, but there was no pain. Exercises to improve movement could be done.
@_lliesl_ To be fair it doesn’t really spoil it. I mean, if you can suffer a story about men being turned into pigs, why not? This stuff was always ridiculous fantasy.
Still chuckling at the idea that Arday wouldn’t call the police when a masked knifeman hunts him down on campus but will when a journalist phones him up.
Hi Allison. 'GC' beliefs are:
1: Women are materially definable as a class of human being. Ie, we are adult human females.
2: On this basis, we have specific needs, rights and concerns, and
3: Women should have freedom of speech and assembly, on matters that affect them profoundly. Ie, we should not be fired, beaten up, threatened, or face other illiberal measures, for asserting either 1 or 2.
Which do you disagree with and why?
And, while this forum is hardly a great space for political discussion, when women's events are *routinely cancelled* it doesn't leave many options. There's a really simple solution to that, of course. Stop cancelling perfectly ordinary events, where women are going to be saying perfectly ordinary things about material reality and their rights. 🤷♀️
Actually have the discussion. Book the many women who have written extensively on this issue to festivals and events. Host debates - non hostile ones - across the aisles. Engage with local WRN groups. Read our literature. Social media is not the only space that this issue must be discussed - and we're very, very, very far along with this now, with women you've smeared having been the reason that's happened. Engage with them without calling them all the names under the sun and you might see that. They are the best of women and have defended our rights with tenacity, brilliance, and effectiveness. They are admired globally, despite how you and others speak of them. You seem unaware of this, perhaps because this is the only forum you've engaged with. That's a bit silly.
Oh - and guilt by association is just tiresome.
