Dallas Brodie and Frances Widdowson are some of the few adults in the room. Thank God for them and their fights.

Dallas Brodie isn’t one of the adults in the room. Francis is though.

So we agree on Frances. As to Brodie, its a matter of perspective. Yes she is a shit disturber (so is Frances) but she is a truth teller in a field full of genuine lies.

I saw Brodie mocking survivors on video. It was a turn off for me. Unnecessary. I suppose her approach is a matter of style, maybe an acquired taste.

If you are talking about the 'famous' video FRAMED as her mocking 'survivors' then I think you misread it, it was her mocking post-modern moral relativists who promote 'lived experience' and one's personal truth (her truth, my truth, your truth, my grandmother or anyone else's truth) and it was NOT specific to any person or group, it was an attack on the general idea held my many wokies and progressives today.

It was unbecoming and beneath her station. And she was mocking survivors.

I disagree. The only thing that could make you think that is she used the word 'grandmother' which regardless of her specific reference WAS used by her manipulative NDP opponents to frame it as such. Objectively, she was really mocking the wokies.
