I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

No state-funded school should require girls as young as seven to cover their hair.

No school in Britain, of any faith and however it's funded, should be allowed to require girls of ANY age to cover their hair.

The hijab is a garment that is only required because apparently men cannot be trusted not to sexually lust after women - and young girls - unless they show "modesty".

That puts the responsibility for sexual assault onto the women and girls, not their male attackers.

How can anyone think this is okay?

[Killed Women @KilledWomennw]

More than 30 bereaved families, including Killed Women members, have signed a letter to Justice Secretary Alex Norris demanding that anyone convicted of manslaughter be banned from the government’s early prison release initiative.
https://t.co/8XAwU0MfNT

‘The families said they feel victims are “being asked to bear the consequences of the prison capacity crisis”. The families, along with campaigners and victims’ organisations, told the Lord Chancellor they had “deep concerns about how early release may apply in homicide”.

The letter highlighted concerns that some of the most serious domestic homicides result in convictions of voluntary manslaughter and that it would be “difficult to reconcile with the government’s commitment to halve violence against women and girls” if those offenders were released early.’

Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, chairwoman of the board at @RefugeCharity, England’s largest specialist domestic abuse service provider, said: “This letter brings together more than 35 signatories, including bereaved families from across the country who have experienced the worst loss imaginable. Families should not feel that the level of protection they receive depends on the particular legal category attached to the offence. Justice must be fair, consistent and centred on victims.”

Frank Mullane, chief executive officer of Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse, said: “The breadth of support for this letter demonstrates the strength of feeling among bereaved families.
“These are not isolated voices. Families from many homicide cases in recent years are united in calling for a clear and consistent approach to homicide and early release.”

❗️Here it is. Please RT 🙏
The major piece of news I have been waiting to share
⬇️
@NHSNotts UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER.

@thetimes
‘Detectives (@northumbriapol ) have informed the trust’s bosses and told them to preserve all records related to the June 2023 attacks.
The trust said that it would co-operate with the inquiry.
The move is likely to send ‘shockwaves’ through the NHS as it shifts the case against the trust from treatment failures to the question of whether it was directly responsible for the killings’.

COMMENT:
As a trust we hold you to account for the loss of our son, for Grace and for Ian.
Yes - YOU.
To all of the negligent, inept and failed clinicians, practitioners and managers.
TOP DOWN.
You WILL be held to account.
You (alongside the Calocane family, the @nottspolice, @leicspolice and @CPSUK ).
You have blood on your hands. You know it, I know it, and now the country will know it.

Whatever it takes, you will be held to account.
I will post in full tomorrow….

Killed Women co-founders Carole Gould and Julie Devey became friends through tragic circumstances – their daughters, Ellie (17) and Poppy (24), were both murdered at home by their ex-boyfriend. Their meeting started a journey to change the law for families in the same position. https://t.co/ddBdCdKERK

'For the next seven years, the pair met justice ministers, politicians and judges in London to try to persuade them to change the law. Last month, Justice Secretary David Lammy announced plans to raise the minimum starting sentence for murdering a current or former partner to 25 years – in line with other premeditated killings.'

'The law change is subject to consultation with the Sentencing Council, but the Ministry of Justice said it would be introduced as soon as possible. "Thomas Griffiths only got 12-and-a-half years for the brutal murder of Ellie," Carole said. "With these changes, he would have got around 26 years." Julie said Atkinson would have also got a little more than 26 years for Poppy's murder. "It is not long left before they are free, but we won't ever be free," she said.'

Fiona Lamdin: "As a journalist I have followed every twist and turn of Carole and Julie's journey. There were times it seemed impossible as they kept being knocked back, after hundreds of phone calls made, emails sent and meetings had. There were times I feared nothing would change, but these mothers were absolutely determined, their daughters driving them on. They always said it would be a marathon, not a sprint, and I am incredibly proud of what they have done."

Another bad week for women in Britain is there any other now? a mother & her daughters murdered according to the BBC 'was a nice man who loved his family'. Rape Gang survivors asking the public for support because their torturers & rapists have been released early from jail. An elderly conservative woman politician murdered in her own home a leading political broadcaster describes her as 'old maid & 'virgin' & a #bekind Transwoman hopes she was handcuffed to her bed & tortured. All of this is male violence, the women are diverse the men are same they hate women.

While football does not cause domestic abuse, stats show that incidents can spike during major tournaments. The 'Unspoken Stat' is called xV, and that stands for expected violence against women after the game.  A study by Lancaster University has shown that domestic abuse incidents can rise by 38% when England lose and 26% even when England win so the xV is a frightening statistic, and we can all help.

Support and information is available from domestic abuse charities @ichoosefreedomcharity & @leedswomensaid or you can call the national domestic abuse helpline number on 0808 2000 #TheUnspokenStat
