A Ukrainian soldier has returned home after spending over 3 years in russian captivity. He was one of the defenders who heroically held the defense of Mariupol. Now he has finally embraced his daughterβ€οΈ

No, Iβm not. I wish I were. Sheβs a former friend and previously longtime Labour Party member who gradually went off the rails with the Corbyn worship because she got so sucked into Momentumβs purity spiral. She eventually royally pissed off many people she knew with her behaviour. Sad.

A really lovely story of a woman supporting another woman - post-cancer - in a bra department. This is the authentic experience of sisterhood, how we really are with each other when one of us is vulnerable, and what we can give to and receive from each other.

I totally agree. I knew a Corbynista who said - during Johnsonβs time as PM - that it would be better to have 50 years of Tories rather than what she called an βimpureβ Labour govt. F*ck off.

Oh Iβm SO lazy, keeping up with responses to a menβs rights activist such as yourself. The thing is that youβve shown yourself up in your discourse. You people donβt seem to realise (though weβve said it time and again) that you make our points so brilliantly for us.
Ciao for now!
Donβt be ridiculous. Youβre just evading the point about this being a menβs rights movement.

The experience of the vast majority of the women on this planet is that as a teenager they got creeped on by (at least one) adult male stranger - just a great βwelcome to the adult worldβ.
To not know/care about this is one massive self-own. Being female involves much more than βfeelingβ like one

How do we live in a world where a trans identifying male feels entitled to do this. Who thinks this is a good thing?
Oh stop being so faux-ingenuous. You and everyone else knows exactly why a certain type of man would be thrilled to approach a teenage girl to ask about her bra size etc.

Yes - I think that developers should have to build the infrastructure first. Then Iβm sure somehow, after all, theyβd find the money to build the houses as well.
