Hello everyone,
I've listed an event which might be controversial, just want to check
everyone's happy we continue to list this:
Feb 21st - a talk
here's the link
http://alt-sheff.org/events/3814
Julie Bindel was apparently "No Platformed" after writing an article
which offended many people. That's when activists turn up to try to
stop someone from speaking in public. It was probably this article:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jan/31/gender.weekend7
I understand she has since apologised for what she wrote, and received
a lot of abuse. So this meeting could be a historically useful look
back moment in left/feminist understanding. Or it could be more
controversy.
OK to list it? All replies welcome :)
Jonathan
