Imagine if Trump’s big announcement is that he played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street

Woman of the Day teacher Prudence Crandall, born OTD in 1803 in Rhode Island, opened a private school for girls in Connecticut acknowledged to be one of the best in the state, till she admitted a new pupil and all hell broke loose. She was harangued, arrested, dragged repeatedly

"Here, you know else liked locking up people who disagreed with him?"

Shami Chakrabarti brings up Brianna Ghey when discussing Graham Linehan, for no discernible reason, then segues into yet another disquisition on ‘the most vulnerable members of society’ etc. Guess what, she wants less toxicity ⬇️

It is OBSCENE that #r4today BBC Radio 4 had two guests justifying the arrest of a man (by 5 armed officers), talking of the vulnerability of all people trans and ignores the torrent of vile and violent threats against women which have been ignored for years.

“Outside of industries such as journalism, publishing, and theatre, nobody believes it. Everyone agrees that women deserve fair sports, and that men shouldn’t be allowed into women’s toilets or changing rooms simply because they identify as a woman.” - Graham Linehan In this

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley says that because of legal ambiguities, the cops were forced to arrest Father Ted writer Graham Lineham over his tweets. No, they weren't, Mark. You could end the Met's mad role as the woke-enforcement sqaud, but you choose not to. We see you!

There is a woman I met here on “GC Twitter” about 5 years ago. She brought me into a group chat with some other women that have become real friends. She and I even met IRL and had a lovely lunch chatting all things women and avoiding the stares of a table of blue-hairs that was

First, try to escape/run away. Second, try to attract attention/scream/make noise. But third, *if you have no choice but to defend yourself*, knee him in balls. Or kick him in the balls. Or punch him in the balls. And do it as hard as you can, make it count. Said every

I asked my dad to give my UCAS application form the once-over before I sent it off and he said, 'duck, if you can't fill it out properly thasen then you shouldn't be going to university.' And he wasn't being cruel, he was right.

Thank fuck, because the shortage this insanity has been causing has been devastating the lives of actual women

Thinking of the Peggie tribunal argument that she couldn't have been scared or she wouldn't have spoken out. That's how a lot of people see the women who've been speaking out for years, as if they're not braver, but a bit less important / sensitive / human than you.

I bet there's not a copper in the land who hasn't told his loved ones to give predatory men a good old wallop in the grollies if needs be.

The UK: where a comedy writer is met with armed police because he tweeted that if a man refuses to leave a woman-only space he should get kicked in the balls, and elected politician Ian Bristow🔶 is free to publicly tell a woman to shut the fuck up with a picture of a gun.

Again and again, you see the same thing - good parents of every background and class tell their daughters to hit men in the nuts to save themselves. Graham Linehan is a dad. Calling his advice to save women a crime is a declaration that women and girls shouldn't protect ourselves

That’s literally what you do with compensation. Set up a trust, buy a house etc, set them up for life STOP MAKING ME BE ON HER SIDE Sake
