Roxane Gay is a bisexual feminist with, one strongly suspects, Narcissistic Personality Disorder – a disorder many feminists have, it’s the rest of us who suffer the consequences. She claims to have been gang raped as a 12-year old, and at one point weighed over 40 stone. I say ‘claims to have been gang raped’ because I simply don’t believe feminists when they claim to have been the victims of sexual assaults by men, unless a man has been convicted (and many such convictions are unsafe, as we know).
I despair of otherwise right-of-centre publications such as The Spectator featuring articles by feminists, when left-of-centre publications such as New Statesman would never publish articles by anti-feminists, or be sympathetic towards anti-feminist narratives. There’s an insightful review by the dreadful Julie Burchill of Roxane Gay’s book Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body in the current edition of The Spectator. Burchill’s poking of Laurie Penny in the eye is just one of a number of enjoyable elements.

Justice for Men & Boys 
I am afraid that I only got as far as the mention of a past “when women had no rights whatsoever” shortly followed by “cultures where women have very few rights” and I gave up. I have never yet heard any convincing evidence that either of these places actually exist but I am obviously expected to accept them as self evident truths.

Try as I might, I can’t remember either my paternal or maternal grandmothers (who both grew up in the 1920s) ever complaining a single time about men or the supposedly brutal, misogynistic oppression of that time.
I met them frequently throughout the later part of their lives, and neither of them had anything at all to say about how much they had been oppressed.
Strange, that.

I’m not going to deny that the gang rape never happened, but that the likelihood is extremely rare. Even though she claims that she never told anyone until she was 19,20 I have asked why didn’t she take it to the police( why didn’t the relatives encourage her?),I can only conclude that in an age when rape accusation is very easy to pin on a person, that she realised that it didn’t happen( if it did at all) in the way she think it happened. weak convictions are too suspect with the need to virtue signal the gender / feminist politics which only serves to undermine the value of justice( eg those who were genuinely raped of both genders will feel that their experiences are diminished to meet the politics and and narratives of activists).
Dare I say it? that somehow, some people have turned to making rape some sort life ritual to show that they were real people who have lived and to sell their books/blogs/stories ? Brownie points anyone ?
Wouldn’t be surprised that feminists would take on such a person, seems to be a huge chip on shoulder magnet.
I’m not surprised that the media feel the need to publish such articles since the media is suffering a huge loss of revenue..
On another note, Mike any update on your filed court petition ?

Thanks Rob. Waiting for more information on both my appeal to the High Court about my alleged obstruction of the public highway during an anti-MGM protest in Parliament Square on 1.6.16, and my private prosecution of Dr Joseph Spitzer, who claims / admits to have circumcised thousands of baby boys in his 35-year-long ‘career’. The wheels of justice turn slowly!
