Maybe replace the phrase 'cancel culture' with loss of status if that is more tolerable.Joan Smith @polblonde fantastic and long time campaigner for women's rights removed as advisor to @SadiqKhan because she wants single sex spaces in refuges. Open your eyes . This is madness.

That an independent chair of the Mayor’s Violence Against Women & Girls Board of Joan Smith’s calibre was brought in by a Tory mayoral administration and dumped under a Labour one is further evidence that Labour really do not prioritise women’s issues including men’s VAWG. https://t.co/34xLO5uHNG

Co-chair of the Violence Against Women and Girls board, the heroic Joan Smith @polblonde, author of Misogynies and several other classic feminist books, sacked by Sadiq Khan for … expressing concern for female rape victims. That’s it. What time these are. https://t.co/j9kuGAPAWQ

This is outrageous. @polblonde is THE expert on violence against women – literally wrote the book on it. Dispensing with her services is a huge signal that women’s rights are dispensable when those women assert the reality of sex https://t.co/4sBH8FOrVJ
