The event, which was sponsored by Curve Foundation, a platform amplifying LGBTQ women's and non-binary voices and culture, featured contestants gorging themselves on a variety of pies, sans hands. The official winner of the contest was Jenn, who appeared quite triumphant in the photo featured in BAR. Per the culture blog Them, a second contestant also went home victorious that evening, as 81-year-old Babs Daitch's earnest pie-eating skills earned her best technique, plus a hearty round of applause from the crowd.
Perhaps Tiff Bakker was misled by the title of Sally Wainwright's BBC series Riot Women (There is a fascinating TV series to be made about a menopausal rock band Riot Women isn't it, 22 October). Ms Bakker reaches back into the 20th century to make her point, and says that lesbians have always been invisible to society. Lesbians were visible and audible in 1970s feminism.
