Sign our leaving card. We'll deliver it to WEP. Let them know who you are & just *why* you're off. They say it's #CostOfLivingCrisis. Tell them what they don't seem able to hear. Form here: forms.gle/ND8AgJViVonG68Dz7

Data analysing deaths of all 2,000 women killed by men since 2009 reveals hidden scourge of matricide

Re grooming gangs scandal. Please give credit to @bindelj Julie Bindel , the first to write about it, not Andrew Norfolk. Editors were scared to publish her work. Her work on this has been tireless.

Let's be clear. If your livelihood depends on your broad popularity, that's going to make doing feminism & politics more than a bit tricky. Making yourself permanent leader was probably a dud move, for all involved, Sandi #BeKind #WEP #DoomedFromTheStart @BBCWomansHour

Blaming right wing populism when you comprehensively failed women is a poor excuse.
@WomensInstitute start listening to members and don't let this become our fate.

Well, WEP have shuffled off on the votes of a couple of hundred delegates. But fear not, some have began talking on WhatsApp about starting 'The Equality Party'. 😏

"Why couldn’t you be more like the women of the now-defunct Women’s Equality Party, who claim to have “held a members’ assembly to try to shed light and diminish heat in the fight between trans inclusive and gender critical feminism that is weakening the women’s movement" 🤣 #WEP
I've written about Alistair Campbell and the "more light, less heat" people who present their cowardice as reasonableness unherd.com/newsroom/alastair…

Really interesting 🧵on the imminent demise of @WEP_UK from @HanoverHussy. I hadn’t realised the for-the-blokes agenda was quite centrally dictated. Thanks also to @WepWomen for documenting this, sadly ignoble, little bit of history.

Here, @sanditoksvig makes the Beta-Male Argument for letting males into female sport.
That is, because she isn’t very good at sport (in this case, a very specific sport of Toe Touching), this is unfair by the same meaning of fairness that categories seek to secure.
It is not the same meaning of fairness that categories seek to secure. It is a meaning of fairness which amounts to having a childish tantrum because you aren’t very good at something and others are.
Grow up, Sandy. I rarely make people laugh but you don’t see me whining about how unfair it is that more gifted people make a living off comedy.
I hadn't seen this before: the 'sport is already unfair' gambit. Oh, @sanditoksvig. For shame. Dumping on women for a cheap laugh.
(Yes, I am looking through the WEP comments. Yes, it is a very cheering experience.)

I resigned 2yrs ago when, despite our Sex Based Rights Caucus (@WepWomen) doing everything we could, you made it clear you had no respect for women who knew that sex & reality matters. WEP could have moved mountains - & you failed. You betrayed your own sex.
Discussion of WEP on @BBCWomansHour Interesting that political landscape blamed and no reflection of their huge mission drift from a positive starting position. Failure to be genuinely radical and assertive in the political sphere let all women down. But a puff piece seems apt.

WEP leaders tried to manipulate from the start. Didn't put to full membership because it was clear they would vote against self ID and for single sex spaces. Mandu's response - scrap the consultation & the Policy Committee and single handedly override the constitution

I was there, Ali, as someone trying to support reasonable discussion. It was rigged.

I covered launch of @WEP_UK in my book and interviewed 1st leader, Sophie Walker. She came far closer to electoral breakthrough above parish council level than any candidate for years after she was pushed out - Stacy Hart, elected this year, was 1st and only WEP representative above parish level in nearly a decade of party's existence 1/5

Sophie Walker wrote to Mandu Reid warning her that WEP was voting away its own purpose when it voted for self ID

Hope: betrayed.
Women’s expertise: ignored.
A massive swell of goodwill and enthusiasm at your inception: squandered.
You were lost the moment that you failed to admit what we all know: that women are a sex class and subjugated as such in the gender hierarchy of patriarchal society.

Members wanted single sex spaces. WEP carried on regardless. Don't believe the hype. Hold them to account. #WEP

“Nearly 50 years after feminists set up the rape crisis movement, it is a matter of national shame that women survivors are asked to sacrifice their privacy so that a small group of men feel comfortable.” Bravo @DalgetySusan 👏👏 scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…
