You put the question as ‘why are the feminists so silent’, revealing instantly and utterly your own prejudice. Many women have been speaking and writing for years about this. The better question is - why haven’t you been listening?

You miss my point. Yes, many women have spoken and written about this, but THE WORD IS NOT GETTING OUT!!! You have two choices about this. Whine about it and attack me, or GO OUT AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. And I'm damn tired of y'all taking choice A. w.

The problem is, the sex who undeservedly hold the public power, don't want to hear women's voices when women make themselves heard. They call it "whining", "attacking" and "damn tiring" to give any attention to. Women don't confirm their bias so they stereotype & tune women out.

Me, I call discussion "discussion", whining "whining", and I call attacking "attacking". And since there are over 32,000 women in news, from reporters to analysts, and women write a third of all stories, if you're not heard at all, you're being shut out by women. w.

O behold! The objective arbiter of what is! Free of bias and correct in all judgements! If any lesser mortals need to know the line between "speaking out" to those who won't hear and "attacking" them or between "discussion" & "whining" they have their oracle!

Anyway, this is all very ironic. Women everywhere energetically organise and use every avenue at their disposal to push back against those taking away their rights. These women are silenced, deplatformed and smeared. They bend over backwards,..

dutifully peppering their sentences with appetising distortions and appeasements, such as 'NAMALT', 'women do it too' and 'no one suffers as much as a man with a powerful delusion', in the hope they are not written off before getting their foot in the door...

Still the women are not heard by the majority. It is so easy to tune out and dismiss them, and besides, what about men, eh? Have a think about that! But the unfairness and exasperation gets too much, so a woman tells it like it is...

And a fella hears her! Wow! Finally! However, he is not chiming in to say 'I can't believe I was so unaware up until now', but to say that she is going about it all wrong. The way to be heard is not to do the very thing that made him pick up his cloth ears....

..but to go back to doing all the things he'd been blithely ignoring up until that point. There's a message in this ladies: Ignore this bloke. He knows nothing about what makes people listen, least of all himself.

When I told my dad about all this he was shocked. And for the next few days he would email me and call me and say "you should do this" and "have you thought about saying it like that"? (but nicely not like W.) And I would say yes women have been saying that....

... and I'd send him an article by
@bindelj or@Docstockk . And he's got it now. It is hard to believe that there are so many women expressing this with so much sense, in every which way, and through every channel they've got, when its not being heard. But there it is.2 replies 1 retweet 15 likes - 2 more replies

Yes. It is maddening. Action + Penis = Visibility Action - Penis = Did that really happen? Are you sure? I would have heard about it if it did.
