The incredible team put together by 80 years old feminist superheroine Phyllis Chesler, rescued not only Aisha, but at least 29 other Afghan feminists!

ow.lyTeam of Radical Feminists Rescues Thirty Afghan Feminists“Aisha” got out less than 24 hours before the suicide bombings.

Dr Phyllis Chesler is a psychotherapist, writer, academic and women’s rights campaigner. She assembled an amazing team of rad fems who have succeeded in rescuing thirty feminists from Afghanistan.

“We Jews have an expression. ‘Saving one life is like saving a world.’ And here we are, a band of sisters, well on our way to having saved more than thirty worlds and counting.”

Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Man

Speaking of phenomenal & fearless, there’s an interview with wor Graham in The Times this week.

James Rowe @JamesUnfettered

Fair play to @thetimes for defying the bullies and carrying this interview. Graham has gone all-in to fight for women's rights and I couldn't admire him more for it.

thetimes.co.ukGraham Linehan interview: ‘Gender row is an onslaught on rights, returning women to pre-suffragette era’There’s an obvious question to ask the comedy writer Graham Linehan. What would Father Ted, his greatest creation, make of the angry debate surrounding trans rights, and impending reform of the Gender Recognition Act in Scotland? “I know where you’re going with this,” Linehan says, with his lopsided

“All I can do is keep ringing the bell because, as far as I’m concerned, this is second only to climate change as being the most important thing happening today. It’s an absolute onslaught on women’s rights, they’re actually returning them to the pre-suffragette era.”

Thank you so much for standing up for women, Graham. Like James, we couldn’t admire you more.

On The Mantel Piece

Author Hilary Mantel was interviewed in Italian magazine, La Repubblica, and spoke out against gender identity ideology and the vitriol heaped on JK Rowling.

She said the attacks on JK Rowling were ‘unjustified and shameful’, adding “It is barbaric that a tiny minority should take command of public discourse and terrify those who disagree with them.”

A social worker and psychotherapist with decades of experience, Sonia Appleby is the Safeguarding Lead for Children at the trust’s Gender Identity Development Service. After she raised a number of concerns about the treatment of its patients, she feels she was vilified, ostracised, subjected to quasi-disciplinary action and actively prevented from doing her job.

The outcome of the employment tribunal held in June has ruled in Appleby’s favour. The panel found that she suffered reputational damage and was prevented from doing her work on safeguarding as a result of making known her concerns.

(By the way, BBC Newsnight, we look forward to your long overdue apology to Graham, who raised these very same concerns when he appeared on your programme and was treated appallingly for doing so.)
