Ben tells @DebbieHayton that he knows what's best for women & transwomen and if we disagree we're part of the problem. I wish this were satire but this really has given some men the opportunity to vent the worst of their patriarchal, sexist ...

Tolerant & kind. Except if you're a woman who thinks she deserves UN sanctioned human rights. Then Ben will tell you that you're scum... It's easy to be kind to people who are frightened to argue & fear that anger you boast of. ...

RT @wwwritingclub: Irritating woke author of the day. Women’s issues always - always - come second to whatever else is going on. Enough of superficial virtue signalling, while better, braver women take the flak. https://t.co/a9LUZF...

"If a lesbian gets squirmy about a penis, that's her problem". I would love this to be satire, unfortunately, this homophobia & coercion now passes as progressive. https://t.co/fx7o1R...

We started this thread on IWD to mark the injustice women face or have faced on a historic basis due to their sex. It's far from complete, and we intend to keep adding. https://t.co/8U6Hla...
