Documented evidence (videos, podcasts, photos) of Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull (KJK) aka Posie Parker, founder & organiser of ‘Standing For Women’ platforming & being platformed by far & religious Right figures (2018 to present). Further details in replies to each tweet. A Thread: 👇
When someone misses the entire point of your account because you stand against male violence against ALL women, even women you disagree with or can’t stand.
Go. To. Bed.
You align yourselves with figures like Maria MacLachlan, entertain deranged conspiracy theories about an organised agenda to "trans the gay away" and erase women, and find common cause with racists, xenophobes, homophobes and practically every crank willing to join your anti-trans crusade.
You and your fellow travellers spend years portraying an entire minority as an existential threat to civilisation, helping turn their very existence into a political battleground, and then act utterly fucking astonished when the resulting conflict produces ugly confrontations.
Of course threats and violence are unacceptable. That's precisely why people should be held individually accountable for them.
But this perpetual performance of wounded innocence, as though your movement has contributed absolutely nothing to the hostility surrounding this debate, is fucking infantile.
You want to participate in an increasingly vicious culture war while pretending you're merely innocent bystanders who happened to wander onto the battlefield.
This is the political understanding of a child.
Grow the fuck up.

Men are all of course against male violence against women until it’s a woman doesn’t agree with his ideological views about gender, and then suddenly it’s okay for men to kerbstomp her, or set her on fire 🤷♀️

I think like a lot of women - and a lot of men as well - I’ve found the last week pretty emotional.
Famous and powerful men - who abused that fame and power - finally not getting away with it. And behaviour and culture that we were all supposed to just laugh along with - well now we can actually say - this is not ok. It was never ok.
It felt like a watershed moment.
But what is a watershed moment? It’s a moment that is critical turning point or decisive event that permanently changes things.
So what IS actually going to change?
Well - there is one thing I would suggest could change - and it would be controversial - not everyone would agree with it.
Right now - if you’re a 16 year old girl having sex with another 16 year old - or the boy from the year above at school - that’s treated exactly the same as if you have sex with a 45 year old not in a position of trust.
Should it be?
Here's the thing - there’s a cliff edge on how you’re treated when you turn 16 - but not the other way round.
In England and Wales, if you’re a child, and someone has sex with you - the law treats you completely differently if you’re under 13 or if you’re between 13 and 16.
If you’re under 13 - it’s rape - consent is legally impossible. But if you’re 14 or 15 - it can be prosecuted as “sexual activity with a child” rather than rape which of course carries a lower sentence.
This was a massive issue during the grooming gang scandal - and the Gvt is looking to change it.
But right now - the law staggers the age of consent the wrong way.
It tapers the cliff edge for people who have sex with children - people that you and I would call rapists, but the law doesn’t treat as such.
But it DOESN’T taper the cliff edge when you turn 16. And maybe it should.
How about a staggered law of consent the other way instead - so you can have sex with a 16 year old - but only if you’re under 18 yourself?
Then the events of the last week really WOULD be a watershed.

even if their ages, genders, net worths, and social capital wasn’t enough to convince you that depp had complete power over amber, i’d hope that him saying “don’t try to be fucking authoritative over me. you don’t exist” would do it
“Fearing consequences for her career”. You can literally see Depardieu sexually assaulting her in camera.

👏 HAMILTON: “YARDIMLARIN ENGELLENMEMESİ İÇİN İSRAİL’E BASKI YAPMALIYIZ.”
👀 Lewis Hamilton: “Bugün Mısır Kızılayı ile birlikteyim. Gazze’ye gönderilmek üzere hazırladıkları insani yardım kolilerini yüklüyorlar. Bugün, harika gönüllüleri eşliğinde Refah Sınır Kapısı’na gittiler.
Mısır genelinde 70.000’den fazla gönüllüleri var ve burada her gün 2.000’den fazla kişi, bu kolilerin mümkün olan en iyi şekilde hazırlanıp paketlenmesini sağlamak için gönüllü olarak çalışıyor. Yardımların gönderilmesi için her şey hazır.
Bu nedenle İsrail’e, Filistin tarafındaki sınır kapısını yeniden açması için gerçekten baskı yapmalıyız. Çünkü her gün yeterli sayıda yardım tırı geçiş yapamıyor.
Gazze ve Filistin’deki insanlar o kadar acil bir ihtiyaç içerisindeler ki, şu anda bu yardımlara duydukları ihtiyaç daha fazla olamaz. Bu yüzden gerçekten baskı kurmalı ve bu yardımların oraya ulaşmasını sağlamak için birlikte hareket etmeliyiz.
Burada çok büyük miktarda yardım bulunuyor. Üstelik bu merkez, Filistin’deki bireylerin ve ailelerin ihtiyaç duyduğu gıda, ilaç ve diğer temel malzemelerle dolu olan harika yardım merkezlerinden yalnızca biri.”
Phillips makes excellent points here: Statistically, everyone knows a predator, even if they don’t know they’re one. We need to get to the point where whispers about a potential predator can become an open conversation, which can, if necessary, become an unhindered investigation.
“I commit momentary acts of a lack of respect. So far, I’ve avoided anally raping anybody.”

500 Athlete Signatures 🤩⭐️🏅
We’ve had so much interest since our initial athlete letter to the Prime Minister that we’ve now sent a second letter, this time with 500 athletes backing my call to meet with me and fund ME properly (prev 360).
Huge names including David Moyes (we know Andy’s an Everton fan 👀), Millie Bright & so many stars from a variety of sports 🙏🏼 I can’t tell you how grateful I am to every single one of you!!
Please @andyburnham , take an illness that’s been neglected more than almost anything else seriously 🙏🏼 1.35m people in the country estimated to be impacted, that’s a lot of the vote share!! @UKLabour
I know I owe lots of people replies and thanks, please bear with me and thank you so much again ❤️❤️❤️
