A message from Cartoon Network
Thanks to Mole for the photoshop!
Photoshop by Mole!
And many a story was found by Jen, who I don’t thank often enough.
Nice hidden identity you’ve got there…
Joylon Maugham said something stupid and the Secret Barrister pointed it out so Maugham threatened to dox him. Like, say, owning a windmill, or bashing in a fox’s head while wearing a kimono, this is a normal thing normal people do.
“For the moment, at any rate.” Does he not know Twitter is public? What the fuck is going on with this man?
It worked, anyway. The Secret Barrister deleted the tweet.
One last humiliation before he exits her life
Lawyers in BC, Canada are now required to provide both their pronouns and their clients' pronouns at the start of every court trial. If the case is about a man raping a woman, but he asks for she / her pronouns, the victim will be expected to respect this.
Another legal win thanks to Stephanie Hayden being on the other side
Keep up the good work, Steph!
Never forget this
Never forget Ruth Hunt’s “er, calm down, dude” delivery or Owen Jones’s faux-delight about it. It’s so, so, so, gross.
Thought experiment
Try this little exercise. In the headline, replace the word ‘transgender people’, with ‘straight people’.
If you’re able to do that, you’ll see why Stonewall calling Alex Drummond a ‘lesbian’ is such an insult to actual lesbians. It is, in fact, homophobia, and Stonewall have been enthusiastically embracing it the moment they started pretending that straight people were in some mysterious, magical way, ‘queer’.
This person is a woman according to Stonewall’s definition
'Brown was jailed in 2012 for a string of 'strikingly similar' offences, including seven sexual assaults on lone women'.
Speaking of Stonewall…
…204k followers and they get 46 likes for this bit of hocus pocus. “Women and people with intersecting identities.”
Colm O’Gorman inspired hashtag goes international
And thank you TOO, Colm!
Let’s hear it again for Natalie…
…and her beautiful job illustrating The Patriarchal Pantry, Colm’s book of recipes he did in between saying that some women shouldn’t have political representation.
Thanks, in fact, to all my online helpers. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
THE MESS WE’RE IN: SUZANNE MOORE
Well, that went swimmingly apart from my annoying shout at the start.
And here’s the podcast version.
And finally…
A bunch of adorable teens nail every bit of Fugazi’s ‘Waiting Room’ apart from the very end (sorry).
Fantastic - 'Cardamom Turkish Coffee - with a transed biscuit.' Hilarious. What a great issue - jam packed.
