Be less pleased

This is astounding.

And who’s that up near the top of the table on the left? None other than Mridul Wadhwa, the man who ran the Edinburgh rape crisis centre for way too long. Why did Olivia Bailey MP go out of her way to insult women and why does she look so happy about it?

Reactions are intensely hostile.

Lefty women taking great pains to insult and taunt other lefty women for the sake of men who like to pretend to be women. How did we get here? How can we get somewhere else?

Update:

Oh guess what, it’s not one man pretending to be a woman in that snap, it’s two. On the left side, with bangs/a fringe – that’s “Helen” Belcher. 11 people in the photo, and two of them are men pretending to be women. How representative. So feminist.

    The one in the top right corner with the pink turtleneck, long hair and chrome dome also looks sus to me.

    @oliviabaileymp this man went on the Guilty Feminist podcast & said women who had been raped & needed female care were bigots who should be challenged

    Do you agree with him?

    He was forced to resign after a report found his leadership at Edinburgh Rape Crisis damaged survivors.

    He could be of a mindset to argue that as men are the most skilled and accomplished practitioners of rape, they can make valuable contributions on it to feminist organisations. And that the ‘damaged survivors’ only needed a bit of convincing that they were wrong on that score.
