Cultural appropriation

More bites here than expected

A ponce is an effeminate man, not a homosexual man. Unless you’re assuming that all effeminate men are homosexual, which would be very stereotypical of you.

So to sum up, ditch the blue circle for a pink triangle?

So in an effort the to make the male/female blue plaque % split in London ‘fairer’ they are appropriating people from other regions.
Surely there are plenty of deserving women in London who dont currently have a blue plaque.

Fair enough but think about it.


Was it the Hendrix one on the house were Handel also lived (and also has a plaque)? Love that.

Yes it was. A slim white building, can’t remember name of the street. My daughter is a fan, so she took the pic.

I’ve no idea what effeminate means tbh

It means someone who’s a bit of a puff.

Never heard of her.

Went to Oxford, her father was a 'Sir' .

 

[Man About Town]

London puts up blue plaque for woman born and raised in NE England, because a member of her family lived down here

Plan for Gertrude Bell blue plaque in London sparks controversy

Interesting though that Gertrude Bell was an absolute legend and very well known in her day, but is not discussed today as much as her contemporaries. Is that because she was from the unfashionable North East or because she was a woman?

The truth is it's probably because apart from Newcastle the "North East" doesn't really do "Culture" (and a good deal of Newcastles Culture trail is plagiarised from other parts of the North East).
