I want to let this video speak mostly for itself. This was an open mic event organised by Kelly-Jay Keen (@ThePosieParker) and Standing for Women (@StandingforXX) which took place on 5th February 2023 in Glasgow.

I was there with more than a thousand women who’d come to make their voices heard on subjects important to them. There were also protesters there (including one or two furries but you can’t have everything).

Read that again. There were protesters (mostly men, from what I could see) who wanted to stop ordinary women from speaking.

They failed. The women of Glasgow are as nails.

Alice The Journalist made this video. It captures the day perfectly.

The next events are in Dublin on 15th April and Belfast on 16th April, then in Hyde Park on 30th April. I’m hoping to be at Dublin, but, you know, wheelchairs and flights. We’ll see.
