A genuine question here that I hope people won't mind giving their views on, but I was interested if anyone here thinks Kellie Jay Keen isn't the best person to have fronting those sorts of events. To me, a relative newcomer to it all, she comes across as harsh, divisive and smug. In short, I think she'd turn more people who are questioning this kind of thing away.
There are so many, better representatives. In fact, pretty much any GC woman who puts her neck on the line - Julie Bindel, JK Rowling, Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stock, etc. I could go on and on. They come across far calmer and - to be frank - seem more intelligent and hence put their point of view forward much better.
