Unlike Josh who starts from a fixed ideological position ('TERFS are bad"), who totally avoids learning anything about the issue other than his own point of view and who then creates J.K. Rowling as his 'straw monster' constructed entirely of HIS own confections of what he imagines are her daddy issues. So he can knock her down and bask in all that virtuous glow.

@ElSasser2007 Why the HELL would we give money to this mysogynist? FYI using the C word in the title of the play signals to all women their bodies are just pieces of sexualized meat for men to degrade. HARD pass. Also Transactivists have a LONG history of not reading or even taking the time to read the Cass Review or WPATH Files or crime stats of TIM which are free and in the public domain. They would prefer to promote medical harm to children and general harm to women and girls. I am sure sex realists would be ready to read the script of the play for free - but they damn well are not going to put any money in this man's pocket to do so.

But Joanne isn't in the mood for one, especially not one held at a Shoreditch 'test kitchen' organised by three overentitled Judases who know nothing about the world into which they were born with platinum spoons (thanks to her).

@@Kelsea-im8ob she could’ve commented on the play if the nitwit would characterize it in any way at all, yet he did not. I think it is highly relevant considering the only synopsis he gave besides the cast being a family, is the claim the play involves the clash between trans & women’s rights. The rights women fought & won, that they are currently fighting to maintain. Meanwhile all he could defer to were tweets, all while claiming he doesn’t use twitter. He has no concept of why feminists are fighting for what they are fighting for, which is the threat of violence from men in their spaces, which has been legally protected since the Geneva convention’s inception, & opportunities stolen by men in sports, housing, employment, etc. In his mind we’re just meanies who hurt mens feelings on the internet. To say Julie is just mirroring the other sides tactic is a cop out, it is born out by the statistics that these men who claim to be women are more likely to be sex offenders than that of the general male population. Of course Julie won’t see the half baked, un researched play, he doesn’t deserve to profit off of depicting fantasies of public figures sensitive life matters. The play isn’t even until Aug anyway so your comment is redundant, all she had to go off of was his poorly articulated description.

@@SiL-uj2zl SImply not true. See, for example, this extract from her criticism of liberal feminism in Aljazeera, from November 2020: "It is the same with the thorny issue of whether or not transgender women should be regarded as women per se. Liberal feminists imagine that, with their personal empowerment and focus on bettering the mind through education, they will never end up in prison or in a psychiatric ward. Perhaps, bearing in mind that liberal feminists are almost always middle to upper middle class, they also assume they will not need the services of a domestic violence shelter. Partly as a result of the liberal support for extreme transgender ideology, a number of female-only services providing direct support for women and their children who are the victims of male violence are under pressure to admit male-bodied trans women. Liberals have successfully argued that trans women should be allowed in the women’s prison estate, including those that are convicted sex offenders. Female-only clubs and sporting facilities are also under threat. For instance, despite widespread protest, Girlguiding has a policy that boys who identify as girls can join all of its activities without the girls or their parents being told. That also goes for adult volunteers working with the children and includes overnight camps. Liberal feminists are so scared of offending men that they bend over backwards to maintain the status quo as opposed to seeking proper liberation for women. They are happy to be given a seat at the table where they might get thrown a few crumbs, rather than taking an axe and smashing it to smithereens. If men support a particular type of feminism that should be a clue as to its ineffectiveness. Feminism should be a threat to men because we are seeking liberation from patriarchy, which means that they lose the privilege they were afforded at birth by simply owning a penis. Naked statues of women will neither help feminism nor topple it. What we need is for women to rise up and be brave and most importantly, refuse to accept our lot. Liberal feminists need to get radical." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/11/16/feminisms-second-wave-has-failed-women

This guy would have been destroyed and cancelled had he take trans activists and "imagined" their dialogue, or had he taken a BLM activists words and "imagined" a conversation - and it would not have mattered whether his play was supportive or not, he'd have been cancelled.

Well done Julie - brilliant final point - men will never understand our viewpoint because they are not women. As Sall Grover has said, it took a man to land her in court: to create the problem in the first place and then to start the fight. I feel that even most of the men on "our side" don't fully get it. Their tone quite often seems to be, "what a quaint little argument those feminists over there are having over something that will never affect us". They don't (can't?) understand the visceral reality of the invasion of this men's rights movement and its destruction of women's hard-won rights for safety, privacy and dignity in general, and for fairness in sport.

Mate preserve me from the GC men. What a bunch of whiners. Getting to mock them is one of the perks!

@@alasshewasthehighwaywoman8886 lol, right?! Women can speak for ourselves, but even then there are disagreements. I'm guessing the women's suffrage movement was just as fraught. I wonder how we ever got the vote some days!

Men who care about women care very deeply about this. I don't have a daughter but many who do have a daughter understand a lot better than the women who are yet to work out what's really going on. Saying men who are right can't understand when there are so many women who are fighting on the wrong side who won't allow themselves to understand just seems like you don't like men.

@@ribbonsofnight We do not need to "understand a lot better" on the basis of some "lived experience" like having a daughter. We just need to have the intelligence to understand well-reasoned argument such as that put forward coherently by Julie Bindel, and its inevitable consequence, that true women's liberation necessarily involves the loss of our own privilege, whether we are straight fathers of daughters, or gay men like me. Many rapists also have daughters, and it is well known that some even rape their own daughters. To the best of my knowledge, neither you nor I are known personally to @nicoleevans4722, and there is no reason at all why she should "like" us.
