Saturday 11th at 16.00 UK time. You can ask me anything, by sending questions in advance (by 2pm UK time on the 11th). The zoom link will be sent to all paid subs an hour prior to the hangout.
I'm excited to talk a bit about our film, DWORKIN,...which you very kindly said you loved!!!
As you know, Andrea challenged the idea that it is inevitable and necessary that one group DOMINATE another in this world.
Every terrible, brutal abuse, both personal and public follows.
Respecting each other as social equals is absolutely necessary if we are ever to attain the justice and peace that so many pray for.
We are so grateful for the attention that is being paid to her brilliant writing (Macmillan/Picador is reprinting (3) of her books next month)...and to her many powerful speeches.
We hope that everyone will check out our film which is based on interviews that we had the privilege to do with her in 2004, shortly before her death in 2005.
Her kindness, her intensity....and her courage inspires everyone who has seen it...we need her voice to be raised loud and clear again today more than ever!!!
Hi Julie, Looking forward to this, can't tell you the depth of my admiration for your work. I'm a Brit living in Alabama (also training to be a Warrior Teacher with Barry Wall).
I have several Questions:
Trumps election felt seismic and for me was a huge rebuke against gender ideology. We need to see how he governs, but I have hope. As a feminist I have many uncomfortable feelings about Trump, I believe women's rights will be protected under him more than they would under Harris - but we will have to see. How do I reconcile this?
Are we winning? It feels like the tide has turned but a lot of people have yet to realise that. I feel like the Democrats need to lose at least one more general election to truly understand how far they have departed from the people. What do you think?
I now think that Biden was the aberration, not Trump and that Vance could win two terms. I feel the same about Starmer, that he is the aberration and the Right (under Farage) will have a huge resurgence now. What do you think?
Big fan of yours—thank you for all you do to support women. Quick question: how can I send you questions in advance of the Zoom hangout? Is this the right place, or is there another method?
Here’s my situation:
Context:
I’m a northerner, Hartlepool born and bred, but I’ve been living in the U.S. for many years, currently in Seattle. On March 28, 2024, my 11-year-old daughter and her 10-year-old friends were targeted (or terrorized—not sure which word fits best) on their way home from school.
Thanks to the girls’ detailed descriptions of the man and his car, plus photos and video evidence, we parents helped the police track him down. He’s a serial offender, and the police have directly connected him to 11 girls (though there are likely more victims).
Here’s a news story about it—scroll down to the jail call recordings for details:
Your Substack piece:, “Flashing: When men expose their genitals to females, what does it mean?” came out just two days later and deeply resonated with me. I haven’t been able to let this go since.
Problem:
Despite the evidence, this pedophile is likely going to walk free. The laws in Washington State (and beyond) do a terrible job of protecting girls and women in cases like this.
Questions:
How do I begin to push for changes to these laws in Washington and the U.S.?
Should I engage the news media? What are the pros and cons?
How can I advocate for change while protecting my daughter’s anonymity? I don’t mind being public myself, but I want to keep her identity private.
This man is dangerous, and I fear he will escalate. I know I need to act, but I’m unsure where to start.
Thank you so much, Julie. I really appreciate your guidance and everything you do to support women like me.
