We expressly do not use men for stewarding. All SFW stewards at Posie Parker’s LWS events are women and we are very proud to stick to this formula. #LetWomenSpeak @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal
@SFW_Stewards @StandingforXX @ThePosieParker @StandingLocal You ladies do an amazing job! 👏👏
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal Principled but unrealistic and unnecessary.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal What’s the reasoning here? I’ve heard different things.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal This makes perfect sense. Anyone who knows the research is well aware that male presence significantly increases the likelihood of violence.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal The reality is, TRAs will get more violent the more push back they get. It's would be prudent to have Both M&F Stewards. They have demonstrated their willingness to be violent towards women, while being cowards when men are around.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal They could simply be part of the crowd in no official capacity, just to show support. I think the presence of a few burly men in the crowd could deter the incessant bullying that women are being subjected to at these events. Bodyguards have become necessity, sadly.
@SFW_Stewards @dollydhalay @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal I'm naturally protective, but understand your position. It highlights the poor behaviour of the activists in a way that mixed stewarding might not.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal And what fantastic stewards you are too.
@SFW_Stewards @ThePosieParker @StandingforXX @StandingLocal Conflicted.
