Jane you are my flipping hero.

Women can't win. If we stay silent about our harassment/abuse, people will blame us for not saying anything. If we DON'T stay silent, we're still condemned or worse, killed. When are people finally going to understand that WE are not responsible for the actions of men? This man was so insulted that a woman would…

you dont see what happened on the roof at the end

There is nothing about anything regarding this whole situation that isn't incredibly sad.

My last reply to you was a little snappy, I apologise. There is nothing wrong with having multiple fathers, but it is often used in "slut-shaming", class judgement, and good old fashioned snobbery.

Well, let's see, Granddad. Put on the ol' logic hat here, if you will. (I know it's hard for men to be logical, but please stretch yourself here and try not to let the process be overwhelmed by your envy of other guys' ability to "get females" online.)

She was in an abusive relationship recently.
She has six young…

Gee, it's great when I can just copy/paste, and don't have to write a new reply:

If you have an abusive spouse who polices you (my daughter's teacher's husband used to count her cycle and rape her on fertile-by-the-calendar days) and whom you fear, or if you come from a religious family that hasn't bothered educating…

I'm crying at your response. Excellent.

Yay NHS indeed, but available doesn't mean everyone can actually avail themselves. If you have an abusive spouse who polices you (my daughter's teacher's husband used to count her cycle and rape her on fertile-by-the-calendar days) and whom you fear, or if you come from a religious family that hasn't bothered…

I was so disappointed when she started with the transphobic stuff. It was as if my feminist fairy godmother had died.

God, seriously? Because trans women are women, and women-only spaces should be safe havens for ALL women and not just SOME women.

I also do not want this tranphobic behavior is safe spaces for women, i would rather deal with trans women (aka women) than deal with a bigot like you.

No i did read what you wrote and you are transphobic and vile, also i did not just invent a phobia.

I think in theory, she is the best. And she was, at one time, beloved. I am learning from the comments, however, that the persona she has on her show and the persona she is on Twitter are very different and will have to rethink this. I appreciate it when people point this stuff out.

You sound like a TERF, it is sad how ignorant and tranphobic you are.

When people use that defensiveness, in a circumstance where it is statistically unwarranted, to push another badly oppressed minority into unsafe spaces? Yes, I'll call that out. Trans people exist. We aren't going anywhere. It is dangerous to the point of negligence to insist that trans women shouldn't have access to…

Well, I have no pressing need to make you think I'm a woman, that's just who I am. Other people can get on board, or not, but it really doesn't matter that much to me. My issue is when people start advocating against trans people's ability to access the correct gendered places. In the context of your "Midwesterner"…

Oooof, there's a lot there. My first thoughts: she says a lot of jive about not thinking That being "gender critical" is incompatible with being transsexual. She later states that "Trans women are biologically male", which directly undercuts the idea of transsexuality. If "biological sex", as she appears to define it,…

Because Jezebel is as much gossip rag as feminist publication? Seriously, though, even dyed-in-the-wool feminists can be pretty terrible at recognizing and calling out the rank transphobia that's still entrenched in many corners of the modern feminist movement.

So apparently everyone that I idolized and watched growing up is actually horrible. Next you're going to tell me that Pee-Wee Herman likes to masturbate in public.
