    I'd hang that up. It's great. The democrats one is alright but it's clear the Republicans had better picks. Also, Bush Sr. standing seems a little off.

    I'm not sure that turn of phrase is sufficiently inclusive.

    Mandatory Gender Rage Story

    That is pretty lol, particularly in the context of women's sport being much more prominently pushed these days. Mainstream acceptance ruined by a bunch of semi-pro trannies. Oh the irony. On the plus side I guess some of those not at all suss athletics records might be achievable again. Move over Caster!

    Competitive sport is the thing that makes this particular train come off the rails and when Katie Hopkins is more on the side of right than wrong you know you've got a problem.

    Jo Brand's take on things, particularly Germaine Greer.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...greer-feminism

    Now I don't personally particularly care how people are defined, but I suspect there are a number of birth-women who do and if they do, they should probably consider toughing up for the shout down and get ready to voice an opinion before the horse has bolted.

    That no-mark tranny weightlifter dominating the women was a laugh, but it will probably take something like a Wimbledon champion or an international footballer to make people think hang on mate that's a bloke that is.

    The difficulty is, there are no lines drawn, so it's open to abuse. All it takes is one male tennis player in the top 400 to suddenly decide he's a woman and he'll be dominating the women's sport. Who decides whether he's a real "woman" or not? Is it once they start taking estrogen? Or once they change their legal name to Susan?

    Someone getting hurt in one combat sport or another may also do it.

    I think we'll end up with some sort or rules based on the age someone decided to make the switch. If you've gone through puberty/teens as a male then transitioned to female then you'll have a massive advantage over other women, and in anything with a contact/physical element that becomes dangerous to other competitors.

    There was a trans woman knocking out women in MMA a while ago, but the outrage died before it could really get going when she was brutally knocked out by a natural woman.

    And the weightlifter Lewis mentioned missed out on Commonwealth medals (something like that) because their arm snapped during a lift. See, transitioning doesn't do much for your bones.

    I thought Keira Knightley's Disney musings were more.

    If she think their version of the Little Mermaid is bad then she should read the original.

    It's not that big of a deal. It was a shit name anyways.

    Mistresspiece though.

    I did hear some of my wife's colleagues talking about 'craftsmanship' and other sexist terms. It is just bored elites with nothing better to do, no need to get too hung up on it.

    Best one was some woman telling another one that "black eye" is a racist term. They are both white as chalk, of course. Luckily, a black woman stepped in and said that using the term was ok. The offender says she will still refrain from using the term in the future just to be safe.

    My (black) auntie took her daughter to Nursery with a black eye once. When she explained the injury, they corrected her with ‘bruised eye’. She lol’d in their faces and pointed out that black is a colour outside of the skin world and calling something that is black ‘black’ is not racist. Bonkers.

    Email newsletters > social media strategies. Something I shared with a diff forum:

    As someone who ignores impressions, the amount of people who click on the link of a post we're not 'boosting' that isn't offering a scholarship is somewhere between 50-150. Outside of that we've no idea who's actually read it. ​

    Our two email lists of 15k and 100k average a 25-35% open rate (high if you compare it across industrial standards but we're speaking to an engaged audience) and of those that open it 7-20% of those opens click on the link inside. Even if we're using the small list, assuming the low end of the average open/click rate, that works out to around 370.

    We still can't claim those 370 people are conversions but even ignoring conversion rate, '25% open rate' sounds way better to my bosses than '0.4% engagement rate'.
    That's how I'm in media. And also I'm a fucking Graphic Designer so none of the above is my job.
