Well, my first check with trying to log into spinster on the new mini-computer - I can't see my old password, and it's not sending the option to create a new one to my email!
So I might have to create a new account!
I'm re-visiting the lovely books of Elaine Morgan.
She wrote "The Descent of Woman" way back in 1972, 51 long years ago!
She was very popular, especially as she was like your cosy next-door neighbour who was self-taught.
I remember her on tv, (probably because she was already part of the BBC, as a screenwriter).
She struck a chord with Feminists fighting sexism, in a decade when the horrific crimes of the Yorkshire Ripper were making Women's causes front page news.
I suggest starting with The Descent of Woman, The Aquatic Ape, and The Scars of Evolution. All available on Ebay for £5 or less. They might even be in your local Library.
Here's a useful article remembering her work and influence.

I haven't posted any Matt Walsh clips for ages, but this one is worth it, just for the comments.
There is someone going, it's a famous 90s dance track by Enigma, it's about the Marquis De Sade, she's doing a literal performance of his theory that sex has to be painful to be pleasurable.
I'm like "ah-ha! That makes it PERFECTLY OKAY, then"!

I don't believe I or the writer used the word "current arguments".
The RB scandal has allowed them to trot out the same old same old arguments.
We see from Afghanistan how freedom from suppression (including arranged child marriages) can be snatched away from women in the blink of a regime change.
We have to resist. There is a large army of men who want all Western countries to revert to something like Afghanistan.
This is the "cancel-culture that doesn't exist".
A brave Army doctor was forced out of his career by TRAs.
He's been exonerated (I hope he got a big chunk of compo) with the help of the Free Speech Union.
What was his "crime"? He shared this quote by Helen Joyce on Facebook!
He was able to use the Forstater judgement to win his case!
But his Army career is gone for good. He's back in the NHS - let's hope he can spread some sanity there!

🤯🤯🤯
Shocking, eh? But remember there was a time when a husband could do this to his own wife, without needing a gun, handcuffs, or arrest, just his pally family Doctor, who was probably in the same Mason's Lodge.

I miss all the witches who used to post, in the early days of spinster.
I guess they got on their Collective coven broomstick and flew back up the Transhumanist's arse!
I've suggested to Colette to open a spinster account.
WOW, Colette will be at LetWomenSpeak in Dublin on Saturday!
(It's sad that the online threats have impelled her to do this work cutting back on her driveway, so she can see visitors approaching).
You will love her little dog!
PS - how do I know? It's the comments!

This ideology has infested State schools root and branch.
But try going past a private ( "posh") school when the kids are coming out sometime.
Not a blue hair to be seen. Boys and girls in traditional uniforms, boys in trousers, girls in skirts. (I'm NOT saying that conformity is a good thing either).
Notice that it's we, the taxpayers, who are funding this nonsense.

Glinner explains how he was turned away from speaking at the Tory Party Conference (at a fringe free speech event) because the Police got involved and said (he is hinting) that there is an NCHI against him, and/or he is a security risk. He is doing a FOI to find out.
Fortunately this has now been sorted, but listen to what he says about a very small bunch of connected paedo-adjacent men, who have been relentlessly targeting him.

I am absolutely loving this book. It brings to life the Suffragette's bravery, ingenuity, and sisterhood.
It's also uses police sources, so it's very accurate.
Exciting and thoughtful, I can't praise it enough!
Of course, their direct actions were specific to their time.
But half a million people in Hyde Park to see Mrs Pankhurst speak - it makes you proud that we are carrying on the tradition.
As KJK says - we WILL win, and we have their example to live up to!

Those of us who lived through the introduction of the internet to homes witnessed this first hand.
Without exception, every man I knew in the 80s who got their first computer, was typing in "porn" within minutes of having it installed.
