Hart was one of the women who worked tirelessly to save New Cross Learning Centre from closure in 2011, after the local Labour council threatened to cut fu ..read more

The backlash against feminism has been going on for decades, and has reared its beastly head every time women have inched themselves forward in any way at all. However, in recent years, the backlash, in quite possibly the sneakiest attempt yet to subvert the gains Second Wave feminists have fought for, has made the most devious bid yet to derail the feminist movement – trans activism and the co-option of feminism itself. Now, its extremely common to hear calls within the mainstream feminist movement, to centre “trans women” aka biological males. Feminism is currently in reverse Not only that ..read more

Misogyny is as old as the hills but as many women in the UK are beginning to realise, in 2018, it’s taken a brand new form – trans activism. The bullying, harassing, and attempted censorship of women who dare to criticise the oppressive system of gender, has been going on for well over a decade, with prominent feminist activists and scholars like Sheila Jeffries and Julie Bindel being no-platformed and publicly condemned. Knowledge of the misogynistic activities of militant trans activists has been, for a good part of the past decade or so. largely confined to within radical feminist circles ..read more

Society’s current hatred of women has been taught and it can be untaught. There are many ways women can resist, from making our voices heard by standing against Self ID and harmful trans ideology, to rejecting gender stereotypes and the beauty ideal, the war against women can be fought even within society that is still a patriarchy. But women’s true liberation will never be gained under patriarchy. To get it we have to overthrow the system of control that is exercised through male dominance. Male control of our legal system, medical system, political system, education system, and monetary sys ..read more

Dear Liberal Feminists, If you are a liberal feminist, you probably see self proclaimed radical feminists like me as the enemy. After all, you’ve been taught to hate feminists like me, yet do you ever wonder why, when all we are fighting for is women’s liberation from male violence, male domination, and male control? Women make up around 52% of every countries population, when we unite sisterhood is so powerful. You only have to look to the past, to the incredible gains made for women by our Second Wave sisters, to see what can happen when women unite. Who would benefit from turning us agains ..read more

This week saw Corbyn’s Labour underperforming in the UK local elections, a result, due at least in part to the leader’s refusal to address the antisemitic and misogynistic bigotry that simmers amongst many supporters of the British hard left today … After eight years of a Tory government, which has seen the Grenfell disaster and Windrush scandal happen on their watch, and considering the Brexit debacle continues to rumble on, you’d expect the opposition to be enjoying a comfortable lead on the incumbent government by now. But because of the Labour leader’s dismissal, and wilful ignorance of J ..read more

The Labour Party have just announced that biological women who want to apply for positions in Young Labour must self-identify, or they will not be eligible for these places.  On the other hand, anyone else who self-identifies as a woman, aka any biological male, will automatically be eligible for any of the “women only” positions the Labour Party previously reserved for the female sex. The party political decision was recently announced by Dawn Butler, and is a staggering one, not least because of the implications for biological women everywhere. The Labour Party has drawn its line in the ..read more

  Why were feminists always hated until now? We are witnessing a strange new phenomena, an age where even men seem keen to don the label feminist.   It might seem good on the surface right, like finally men have grown some empathy or something?   Just what we women always hoped for eh?   Unfortunately, this is far from the case.   Feminism used to be a dirty word, because feminism used to challenge the patriarchal system of dominance. Now feminism has been blunted, in the guise of liberal feminism, it poses no threat to the male system of dominance over women aka patr ..read more
