Olufemi wouldn’t recognize feminism if came up to her and introduced itself by name. Certainly what passes for feminism in her imagination isn’t within a good number of light years of the real thing, so I could understand her obliviousness. If her “statement” is any measure of her knowledge of feminism, it’s going to be a really short presentation. Maybe just a two minute thank you? None of it will be accurate, or in good faith. Or feminist. I predict a sever shortage of straw in an around Bristol starting just before her presentation and lasting for several months afterwards. Regrowing that much is gonna take some time…
I hope that they get people asking lots of embarassing questions, assuming qusetions are allowed at all. I can’t imagine these presentations standing up for very long under informed inscrutiny or interrogation. Unless they restrict attendence to fellow woke-bubble inhabitants, they are setting themselves up for major embarassment. Are they going to vet all the attendees to make sure that none of the “wrong” feminists show up? Are their reliable TERF and SWERF detectors they can use at the door, or are people going to have to write essays, answer skill testing questions and take loyalty oaths before being allowed in? But then again, maybe they won’t have to worry. I can’t imagine many on our side wanting to pay good money to listen to four flavours of bullshit, or support this event financially in any way at all.
“Four flavours of bullshit” will be true, provided each speaker comes up with only one. But the ice-cream vendor analogy is apposite. In my experience, ideologues are like ice-cream vendors with their trolleys and trucks try to have as big a range of flavours as possible to suit all tastes and requirements.
So it will more likely be forty flavours of bullshit; say at an average rate of 10 per vendor.

I wonder if asking embarassing questions is what would constitute the “disruption” of events that she accused WPUK of engaging in in her “statement”? Since this would be “her” event, she would probably have such questioners removed by security, a move for which she has form. Frankly I’m amazed she would have the nerve to appear in any public forum after being on the receiving end of the fierce, incandescent rage of Dr. Jane Clare Jones ‘ glorious multi-part evisceration of her “statement” on twitter. It’s a thing of beauty: https://twitter.com/janeclarejones/status/1233770543377199105

Yes, Jane’s fiery evisceration was how I learned of Olufemi’s role.
Sadly, Jane’s Twitter account is limited-access only. I’d like to read that.
I can sometimes see her feed, and sometimes not. At the moment, it’s available. Below is a link to the relevent posts.

I ‘m not actually on Twitter, but check in on various people’s posts from time to time.
