Twat claiming he's got post natal depression!

EastEnders' Toby-Alexander Smith opens up about postnatal depression

Toby-Alexander Smith has opened up about suffering from postnatal depression and wanting to be a role model for his two daughters amid his fears of the manosphere.

I dunno - having children is a life-changing event for men too.
Obviously men don't go through the physical and massive hormones, but he's not claiming this - he says he experienced depression and wants to be a good male role model for his daughters and to protect them from the manosphere

We are watching the zealots become ever more determined and deranged because they are too committed, they have no other life to return to if they are actually wrong, this ends up with Jonestown and Waco and every other destructive cult that find nowhere to go. If they weren’t so narcissistic they would be a danger to themselves but instead they are a danger to vulnerable children.

I have nothing but contempt for them.

The sad react is for everything but the last sentence btw

Oooh, idea! Let's add the suffragette colours to the Progress flag (on the opposite side to the trans, which may then 'accidently' get cropped out...). Either the flag-flyers are obliged to support us, or (more likely) the flag will be dropped if it supports women.

Technically a win-win?

I concur too short 🤍

The Countess team has produced a new resource for parents and guardians who are concerned about ideological influence and teaching in Irish schools

Despite the fact that Irish parents exercise a fundamental constitutional role as the primary educators of their children, particularly in the areas of moral and religious formation, many parents now perceive a growing disconnect between this role and the content delivered through compulsory elements of the school curriculum, especially Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE), Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE), and Bí Cineálta.

I think a lot of them are dialing down on it now. I just resent the fact it's polluting my phone. I should have the option of reverting back to the normal Waitrose logo as I don't subscribe to gender woo.

Doesn't the app have a help function where you can ask how to do it?!

We have a couple of gay friends & they say the same.

I don’t think the comments are going the way he hoped. It’s refreshing that the replies are pretty much in line with all the things we’ve been saying in here.

The comments are heartening, I must say.

It just looks very basic and local. No pop, no style.

' its strictly shit .. '

Unattractive men, like Lismore, use ‘gender’ as a mask, to hide their shortcomings. He literally uses costume to hide himself. If your art (I HATE his stuff) is only about yourself and the external, it is the visual representation of navel gazing! Just an ugly man in an outfit.

I didn't know who he was and had to look him up.

He seems to think he is Empress of All The Russias.

What a tw*t.

Nuns were involved.

Yes that's the one Sister Pauline was my headmistress. Evil

One of the problems appears to be the link advertising it was added onto a book club for kids 2 to 12.

Also as child who parents didn't supervise my reading I often ended up reading stuff that wasn't suitable for my maturity level purely because I was a confident reader.View attachment 4013877

Ah. Well that certainly is a fuck up. I wonder if AI just randomly compiled the list or something like that? I don't know which option is more grim - someone doing it on purpose, someone not checking out of laziness, or no one doing it at all because society seems to have cowardly rolled over and accepted our new robot overlords.

Based on that page - trans nonsense aside - I still think it's fine for 15+ personally (though the stupid, infantilised, faux down with the kids language makes me want to punch a wall) but agree someone should be held accountable for promoting it to younger kids, accidentally or otherwise.

I too was an advanced reader and started young adult books in about grade 5. I think any sexual references just went over my head for a couple of years. Then when I was 11 I obliviously stumbled upon a fanfic that was significantly more graphic than anything I'd seen in a published novel. I was scared off the internet for a few months, then I decided to find out what that sex thing was all about by reading wikipedia articles.

Anyway, I'm of two minds about the whole thing. I can see why some people, especially parents, don't like the idea of information like that being in a school library. But at the same time, the reality is, kids are gonna find stuff you'd rather they didn't whether by accident or on purpose and there's really fuck all you can do about it. And in fact trying to keep it from them might only make it worse. When I was a tween/teen, most adults would have agreed that same-sex romance was inappropriate for children. But if same-sex romance had been available in mainstream YA books, I wouldn't have found porny fanfic at only 11.

I'm not convinced that we will get a Reform government at the next election despite Labour's terrible performance so far. To start with Restore will take some of their votes and more moderate people on the right may still vote for the Conservatives. Labours only challengers are the Green Party but they will be discredited as Corbyn was so the more moderate left voters won't vote for them.

Plus after reading about the new voting system for mayoral elections, I worry that new GE voting regulations will be in place 'for the greater good' before 2029.

Why are cases like this not appealed against

The punishment is non existent for the severity of the crime.

I do feel some of these Judges need a strong whack to the head, as their sense of justice is way off to what the public expects.

They are following the sentencing guidelines so presumably can justify their decisions somehow

This is an excellent article talking about how the fixation on toilets is a distraction from the other more important reasons why women fight for single-sex spaces.

Thanks for posting. A great read, I'm going to bookmark it for future reference

SUCH A GOOD VIDEO!

I love her!

 

[Ceelea]

It gets worse and weirder

Sweet Jesus...

 

[ChastityDingle]

Another straight to the point 🤍 truth will out

That is excellent!

I was wondering who Daniel Lismore was, I ended up blocking him on X as his unhinged (very long) rants were taking over my feed, even without following him.

 

[Miss Ophelia]

I’ve cancelled mine. I followed up with an email saying that unions should be for all and to be fighting to give away women’s rights was abhorrent, they replied within 5 minutes but clearly couldn’t give a shit

I am Sure they will, haven’t they made there stand plain for all to see.
