This obsessive hounding of Kathleen is horrible and deeply strange.
Academia still has not learned the necessary lessons from this.
We need to stop coddling the bullies. https://t.co/ErSuQbGSCu

Alice is right. I am very disappointed in (many of) my professional colleagues in philosophy. They seem to think this is all a bit unseemly and they would rather avert their gaze from misogynist bullying and pass on by.
I thought they had more guts. https://t.co/einldEW7yd

Of course, it’s easier to avert their gaze than it is to face the bullying, but you would think academics could stand together at least some of the time…like when misogynistic bullying drove one of their own out of their job. Yes, it could happen to them, but it’s more dangerous to leave it as it is, because it can happen to them when things are left at status quo – an inadvertent slip of the tongue, or failing to be up on this week’s woke dogma, and they’re the next Kathleen Stock.
A “vegan & sober” open mic and party to celebrate the First Anniversary of the Purging of the Terf. I’m trying to think of a less appealing way to spend a Friday night. Root canal without anaesthetic? Slurry lagoon swim meet? I got nothin’.
Shit. No steak & ale pie.
Mike B: Dost thou think because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more steaks and ale?
Bravo, Piglet!
But it proceeds in the opposite wise. As for virtue, it must be that it is refraining from steaks and ale that renders them so. Why proclaim it otherwise, if it be but an empty sign or signal? Nay, it shall be a most serious and solemn celebration, with no seat for mirth or levity. Smiles and frivolity? They are banished! Certes, there shall be hair shirts for all.
Which month are they having this party? The 28th of November is a Monday, not a Friday.
