Magdalen is/was the 21st century's Boadicea. Boadicea fought in the 1st century, leading an army against the men who raped her daughters, losing her life in the process but winning the battle and making her point powerfully. In this century, two thousand years later, the fight for women is STILL to make society safer and fairer for our daughters, while the men do their darndest to fight for their prior right, as they see it, to self-determination and too bad for women. A tragic difference today is that so many of our daughters are fighting on the side of the rapists.
Gone off the blocks early ( as explained in the update) so here is my double Thank A Terf ( may be breaking the rules 😄 but what are rules for if not...)
The TERF I'd like to thank today, and share with your readers, is a young woman named Brandi, who posted her short video essays on YouTube as RunawaySiren (https://www.youtube.com/@runawaysiren940). Earnest, clever, insightful, quirky, brave, and wise beyond her years, Brandi sadly passed away early this year. Fortunately for all of Terfdom, her channel is still up (for now) and her trove of videos still available. She was cherished by her viewers; many of us felt like we had lost Magdalen all over again. It is my hope that women will continue to discover her work and share it, so that just like Magdalen, a little of her light will always shine.

Yes, completely duped by them.
Thanks for the reminder, Katrina, and lovely way to pay tribute to Magdalen.
Good poem!

On behalf of Brandi, thank you.
