From Prof Todds article "When I started history at my coeducational comprehensive school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the influence of feminism meant that the first history class we ever had was in women’s history. We were asked to go and interview the oldest woman we knew about her life."

Imagine if schools and universities recognised the importance of this - and encouraged students to talk to their elders in this way, rather than feeding them contempt for older women, science and reality.

This image though. It's chilling.

Suppressive person, blanked out, erased. Very totalitarian, very much wrong-think control.

Right side of history etc etc.

Do they wait to cancell womyn until the day before the event so that thete is no time to organize a protest or to get press attention? We need to get on top of this behavior and organize people and get them ready to protest at the last minute in case this happens.

This is blowing up on feminist twitter right now, a statement from one of the cultists (full of the usual defamation and lies), also a youtube vid where the organisers make a bunch of pitiful excuses and try and dodge questions from the audience

Links to Julie Bindel and Jane Clare Jones twitter threads about this - well worth a read

Julie and another women confronted the organisers over it at the event. There is a video.
