Douglas Murray: Blurred lines – sexual freedom has turned into sexual fear

The first of two interesting pieces in the current edition of The Spectator, the only mainstream publication of its type in Britain today revealing some truths about gender politics. That said, the current edition has a two-page piece by Julie Burchill, and it has published pieces by Julie Bindel in the past. The piece was penned by Douglas Murray. Enjoy.

  1. I’m no fan of Burchill, but she’s spot on about Diane Abbott, “with her vast pomposity, hypocrisy and sense of entitlement”.

    • In common with Julie Bindel she LOATHES Laurie Penny, so she’s not all bad. She also thinks Jess Phillips is beautiful, should’ve gone to Specsavers. Of course this may be not unrelated to the fact the two of them look strikingly similar, so it’s sheer narcissism, a common feature of feminists.

    • Diane Abbott was also at the centre of the only known example of Jess Phillips being witty. The gist of an interview:

      Phillips: I told Diane Abbott to f*** off.
      Interviewer: What die she do?
      Phillips: She f***ed off.

      Of course it doesn’t take a genius to see this as a spat to escalate Phillips up the female dominance hierarchy at the expense of Abbott. To my mind Phillips stopped developing psychologically in her teens. She’s nothing more than a teenager propelled into parliament by the iniquity of the Labour party’s all-women shortlists. She’s not alone in that. She’s admitted to being permanently anxious. Bottom line? She doesn’t have the mental resilience to be an MP. If she were a man, she’d have had the decency to quit some time ago.

        More precisely her early teens. There’s a huge difference between the intellectual and emotional development of a fourteen year old and an eighteen year old, at least in boys.

        If she were a man, she’d have had the decency to quit some time ago.

        Were she a man she would not have considered herself fit for a career in parliament.

  2. Douglas Murray neatly essays the history and current moral panics. Of course the fundamental point is that though he is probably correct that the formation of relationships and rules of courting aren’t a science. To feminists it is, even as they demonstrate their ignorance of the scientific method they assert that their ideology is “science” (even if science is “mansplaining” with added maths). in their world there really could be scientific female friendly micro detailed rules. Constantly one sees commentators male and female observe that surely there can be no further absurdities or things will “swing back”. But because they believe, believe with all their feminine “intuition” that their ideas are science there really is no hope at all that reality will intrude at all.

  3. Increasingly, along with Spiked, the Spectator seems to be the only mainstream media organ that allows any dissent at all from the feminazi counter-sexual revolution (Its slogan: “Sexual freedom for women, all men are pigs!”).
