We are also pleased to see this debate becoming more mainstream in public debate & mainstream media. This is what needs to happen if we are to come to a progressive solution. You don't get progress by silencing people. It's great that @guardian is doing more to engage. Thank you.
This brilliant piece by @suzanne_moore in @guardian has spoken for thousands of women who had been feeling disregarded. We need more of these pieces. theguardian.com/society/commen…
We are pleased to see @Samsmethers & @fawcettsociety stepping up and speaking out. This is a signicant development. Thank you. fawcettsociety.org.uk/blog/sex-and-g…
Voices like Kevin Pringle are also new to the block - they are welcome. thetimes.co.uk/article/kevin-…
And one positive upside to that dreadful pledge and the deplatofrming of @selina_todd is that the fight for women's rights has been given a mainstream audience across lots of media platforms inlcuding most mainstream newspapers and several radio & TV shows.
In particular, we found ourselves on @BBCRadio4 #MoralMaze bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
And before that silly pledge, the conference we hosted with UCL Women's Liberation SIG (attended by 1000) was covered by @BBCWomansHour bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… with great contributions from @HJoyceGender & @sophiescott Thank you.
So, maybe, at last, the mainstream media is doing its job and maybe, at last, the debate has moved to the public sphere which is where any debate which will impact the lives of everyone in our society should take place. Time for the policy makers and representatives to step up.
