@AnungIkwe ***We did it in the 70s under much more repressive conditions and we CAN do it today. All it takes is courage and imagination.*** So why wasn't PP able to do it then? She has a huge following. She surely could have got something going no matter if a few of her critics had a go.@Ladyfat

@AnungIkwe ***she knows what she's doing with her following and it's not creating women born women only space. *** Exactly.@Ladyfat

@Ada200404 Women who have been raped do not need any men around hearing about their trauma, no matter how that man identifies. Women created these services for themselves, tailored to meet their needs. Men who identify as women need to do the same. Their needs and issues are different from those of women. And, BTW, have you ever worked a rape hotline? Most DEFINITELY there are men who get off on women's stories of rape and abuse.@susannunes

@ArtistBristol I agree we should be able to talk about other countries, but the problem with PP is she often DOESN'T know what she's talking about! Plus, she has a huge following and spreads right wing disinformation - just like she did the other day about Sherrona Bishop, linking to a blogpost claiming the woman's home was raided by the FBI because she was protesting school board policies, with PP saying she was "just trying to protect her children," when, in fact, the woman is a far right politico suspected of election tampering. Also, re last year's election, PP was rude and insulting even to US women who were respectful of her, said they appreciated her work, but we have to get rid of Trump for x, y, z reason - she was just nasty and rude. That's when many finally gave up on her. I'll never forget her telling men who "maybe carry" (gun reference) to go to women's restrooms and to their kids' school and ask the "head teacher" where the girls restroom is - to "protect" women and girls. Unconscionable in a country with a known gun problem and regular school shootings. @AnungIkwe @Chronic-Yonic @Fullycaffeinated

Last one I stumbled on just now: A prescient post (given that Roe v Wade is about to be overturned, or at least gutted):https://spinster.xyz/notice/A0nLtObOImHWuLldKq@ArtistBristol @AnungIkwe @Chronic-Yonic @Fullycaffeinated

@AnungIkwe Abortion is a "bougie" issue? (Saying the poster was right, I was referring to the comment about Trump stacking the court with anti abortion judges.) Middle and upper class women have always been able to get abortions. They could afford to travel to somewhere it's legal or their doctors called the procedure something else. Have you read the history of Jane, the underground abortion service feminists created in Chicago when abortion was illegal? Look up the history. Interestingly, once NY made it legal, white middle class women in Chicago flew to NY for abortions. The clientele of Jane then changed, with a high proportion black and Latina. The Jane women continued performing abortions until it was legal everywhere.@ArtistBristol @Chronic-Yonic @Fullycaffeinated

@nina When (and where) is your podcast with Elizabeth Hungerford going to be available? I just heard she recorded one with you and I'm interested to hear it!

@RealMapelFlavour I almost can't think of any more insulting way to memorialize these women. We all understand the trans agenda as anti-feminist, so invite one to memorialize the murder of women by a misogynist angry about women engineers... Who the hell thought this was a good idea???If I were one of their friends or family members I would be organizing some kind of angry, loud response.

@Berco There's more backstory to this. Karen Davis did a takedown on him a few weeks ago. He is a piece of work. He accused her of libel or slander or something and possible legal action. He doesn't have a leg to stand on; everything she talked about was posted publicly. Her fans defended her, went after him, critized GL for defending him... That's the gist I can remember. @Flick @ArtistBristol @Omina_Sentenziosa

@AnungIkwe About what, the Equality Act sailing through the Senate? It didn't even come up for a vote, just a hearing. @ArtistBristol @Chronic-Yonic @Fullycaffeinated

@AnungIkwe It did NOT come up for a vote. They knew they didn't have the votes. They just had a judiciary hearing back in March. I'm done responding to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about and just wants to pick a fight.https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B%22source%22%3A%22all%22%2C%22congress%22%3A%22117%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22hr5%22%7D@ArtistBristol @Chronic-Yonic @Fullycaffeinated

Do you have any idea how they got "captured" by TRA ideology? Do you think the Pritzkers had a role to play?

I always remember Priscilla Presley saying that Elvis smacked her forehead every time she made a facial expression that scrunched it up to train her not to do it and avoid wrinkles.

@LaylaAlexandrovna Is it true that:1) Parliament is not in session now;2) the provincial gov'ts imposed the covid restrictions, so going to Ottawa is not going to the source;3) more than half the vehicles are cars and pickup trucks, not semis4) wind chill tonight will be brutal -35?Where will these people sleep? How will they keep warm?

@LaylaAlexandrovna And on day 13, they got hit with a $9.8 million class action suit! "The court filing alleges that the horns on semi-trucks emit noise in the range of 100 to 150 decibels and are not meant to be used for longer than a few seconds because the sound levels are dangerous and can cause permanent damage to the human ear.The statement of claim indicates that the sound volume downtown has been measured and allegedly exceeds noise levels that are permissible under Federal Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.“Despite these dangers, the Freedom Convoy trucks have been blasting these dangerous horns continuously for 12 to 16 hours per day,” the statement of claim alleges." https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/lawsuit-filed-against-convoy-organizers-seeking-damages-on-behalf-of-downtown-ottawa-residents-1.5768731?fbclid=IwAR3Y2uDWMrOZBTJW1iGuKCesQVnCMvtGma0aasLO04kEy7vXJ2bvcYZW7eE
