There will always be women who hate women
A thread by Gillian Phillip

Well.
This is the website of @MakeHerstory1, an organisation that campaigns to end modern slavery and trafficking. The very wonderful and admirable @OnjaliRauf is very involved. makingherstory.org.uk/contact/
Hat tip to @RooneyRachel for the original tweet. 1/
Onjali is also an extremely talented author who has been shortlisted for the @LambethPhoenix #PhoenixBookAward. Look, here she is on their shortlist.
You see those other shortlisted books? One of them is represented by ASH Literary Agency. Alice Sutherland-Hawes (she/her), who set up this agency, was of course delighted. So she decided the agency Twitter account would tweet about it, and why not?
It’s all good sporting fun, though. It must be, because the ASH shortlisted author has a good giggle about it, via emoji.
These people - and I cannot stress this strongly enough - are beneath contempt.
So, yes: a privileged middle class white woman decided, quite deliberately, to erase a Muslim woman who works to end human trafficking and slavery.
And she thinks she’s the good guy.
Falsifying the shortlist of a literary awards. And being proud of out of it. That should be circled in the literature scene. The vast majority of writers won't be so fond of it.
Living in her little Creed of the Unicorn bubble she doesn't even notice how she is ruining her reputation. Well, not that I'm particularly sorry for her - I never did like deliberate idiots - but this degree of unprofessionalism is mind blowing.
She is bathing in the rain of the righteous, little suspecting it's actually the piss of the TRAs
