True in 1853. True in 2025. Women speaking plainly in public still gets treated as the most dangerous thing we can do.

@hermionegingol1 @AgentP22 😂😂😂😂 @TwisterFilm

@AgentP22 he looks like a lesbian elton john. x

I hope "touching Mr Sturgeon's crystal pepperpot" takes off as a euphemism for something

@LesbianLabour Fabulous

One of our own at the Hay Festival yesterday with banner and question. #WeStandWithSallGrover #Lesbians

@Richard66173180 @womennotmen @KatarinaHill2 🤣🤣🤣

@womennotmen @KatarinaHill2 @SeeRedWoman1 Advice we need: Sit there, be quiet & listen, do what your partner asks. 😁

Oxford University has done a study into gender wang and forcing gynaecologists to lie about sex. My favourite bit:

@owenjonesjourno @EHRC Owen, men’s incessant, ubiquitous violence against women & girls results in 3 murders a week in the UK alone. So no, we won’t share our few places of refuge -which allow us to take part in public life – with trans-ID men, which means any man who’ll say the words “I’m a woman”…

@rainy101 Very 💅🤣

@SeeRedWoman1 Cheeky

When I worked for Teletext, I remember getting the Piccadilly line home and it got stuck between stations for an hour. No air, none of the wee windows, just minging sweaty heat. Everyone had big red faces. Today felt hotter than that.

@rainy101 Always. I used to get hauled off at Kings Cross for only buying zones 4,5 and 6 🤣

@SeeRedWoman1 I've had panic attacks when trains have stopped between stations so I avoid most of the time. Walk or bus.

@rainy101 It was awful.

@SeeRedWoman1 That is my worst nightmare.

@ActualLion @JournalistJill 🤣🤣🤣mingin

@JournalistJill @SeeRedWoman1 Me too! Clapham North was the absolute worst. I used to go south to Tooting Bdwy, just so I could get a seat on the northbound train 😂

@womennotmen @KatarinaHill2 Awful

@KatarinaHill2 @SeeRedWoman1 😩

@soniasodha 🙌

Not this columnist! 😱

@andreww1967 🤣🤣🤣

1980s 2020s

@shhh_agent Awful.

@SeeRedWoman1 That’s like every day in the tube 🥵

@WitchyMcWitch Still. ❤️❤️❤️

@SeeRedWoman1 S'arite. They're all bairns with nowt better to do.

Over the weekend I've been told by 3 different men that they're glad I had a miscarriage, with varying degrees of anger & frothing at the mouth, been told my another man I have cobwebs in my fanny & been told to kms 4 times. Because I don't want any men in women's facilities. It really is a mystery that they're not welcome.

@HowardPidge @randomgirl_411 Hah I was Muswell Hill and before that, Highgate. I will - I’ll do it tomorrow. My Arsenal celebrations yesterday at the pub have left me a right heap today. I wonder if Jeff Scott rings a bell - he managed our team

@SeeRedWoman1 @randomgirl_411 I can’t recall a Rob – two other names come to mind on the Teletext side – but drop me a message if you want to compare notes and reminisce! I also lived not too far from Bounds Green tube …

@ClownfishReady @XxtraEstroGenny Good!

@XxtraEstroGenny @SeeRedWoman1 Here's a good example: You hear the name "Katie Birtles" and you wouldn't think "male convicted sex offender". Interestingly the BBC did backflips to avoid using female pronouns for him. So they're learning. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Watching some men and women turn on JK Rowling for not being “pure” enough… this is how movements start to eat themselves imo When someone becomes a proxy, they stop being treated like a person and start being treated like a standard. Every nuance gets read as betrayal. “Didn’t hold the line” really just means “she didn’t say exactly what I would have said, in exactly the way I wanted.” There’s a tightening that happens in spaces like this under pressure. The line of what counts as acceptable gets narrower, and suddenly yesterday’s ally isn’t quite good enough. It seems like policing and enforcement. I recognise this dynamic from my own experience of being on the receiving end of cancellation. The pressure to speak in the “correct” way, the rapid reassessment of who is in or out, and how quickly nuance disappears when someone becomes a target. If we’re serious about women’s rights, turning on people who’ve taken real risks because they’re not perfectly aligned is a strange way to go about it. No one has to agree with everything JKR, or anyone else, says. But expecting total ideological purity from anyone is its own kind of control.

@HowardPidge @randomgirl_411 🤣🤣🤣No way! I loved Rob who ran the sports pages, we were all on the same floor. It was the best craic

@SeeRedWoman1 @randomgirl_411 I worked in IT at the Press Association. We used to do all your sports and elections pages, and used to get jittery when it was ‘Farm Lane’ on the phone 🤣 That was all a very long time ago now …
