Jenni Murray: Claiming THAT Luis Rubiales football kiss was sexual assault is an insult to true victims

Our thanks to Groan for this. An extract:

Hang on a minute. What exactly are we really talking about here?

A young woman, fit and agile, who is no doubt exhausted but brimming with excitement at being part of the team that have just become champions of the world, leaving England’s Lionesses hanging their heads like lonely, sad little cubs.

Caught up in the thrill of the moment, she walks the line of effusive congratulations, meets her Queen and then the boss — Luis Rubiales.

He’s no doubt as thrilled as she is at the result and her prowess on the pitch, but maybe a little overwhelmed at coming face-to-face with one of his star players.

Remember he’s Spanish, and probably genetically and culturally more effusive in the kissing and hugging department than a chilly Englishman might have been in such a line-up at Wembley.

I can only assume his natural inclination was to give her a big hug and a kiss — a real smackeroo. She, in turn, put her arms around him, hugged him and demonstrated no revulsion at what’s now been dubbed his ‘inappropriate behaviour’.

Indeed, new footage posted on Twitter shows Hermoso joking with Spanish teammates at internet memes of her being kissed by Rubiales.

Common sense from Jenni Murray? Wonders never cease.

Another blithering idiot: Kaitlyn Tiffany, staff writer at The Atlantic

The Atlantic has just published staff writer Kaitlyn Tiffany’s woeful piece, Very, Very Few People Are Falling Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole. An extract:
The process of “falling down the rabbit hole” was memorably illustrated by personal accounts of people who had ended up on strange paths into the dark heart of the platform, where they were intrigued and then convinced by extremist rhetoric—an interest in critiques of feminism could lead to men’s rights [J4MB: Oh NO!!!!!] and then white supremacy and then calls for violence.

Baroness Helena Morrissey is a blithering idiot (cont’d)

IFA magagazine has just published an article, Gender investment gap hurts long-term wealth, as AJ Bell expands Money Matters female investor campaign. An extract:
Baroness Helena Morrissey, founding ambassador of Money Matters, comments: “There isn’t a single good reason why men should have more money than women, whether that’s in savings, investments or their pension. [J4MB: For once the batty woman is right. There isn’t one good reason, there are MANY. They include career choice, work ethic, hours worked, appetite for risk or stress (e.g. through seeking more senior positions) to earn more money, decisions on spending on shoes and handbags v investing…] Money Matters by AJ Bell is aiming to tackle the taboo topic of talking about money and shed light on all the various factors that mean women are less likely to invest – from the gender pay gap [J4MB: Give me strength!] to the financial fallout of having children [J4MB: Spending time away from the workplace means women earn less money? Disgraceful! Shouldn’t be allowed.] through to the impact menopause has on our money. [J4MB: We didn’t know HRT drugs were so expensive. Something must be done.] “We want women to be armed with all the information and inspiration to take action with their money, whether that’s saving more, engaging with their pension or starting to invest. The new website collates all this information into one place, as well as giving people the ability to sign up to our newsletter, to receive their monthly dose of investing inspiration.” [J4MB: Decade after decade there are calls for women to be celebrated and inspired. What’s wrong with them?]

New footage shows Jenni Hermoso laughing and joking on the team bus about Luis Rubiales kissing her after Women’s World Cup final – before team-mates chant ‘kiss’ when the Spanish chief gets on board

Our thanks to Sally for this. She writes:
If that kiss was sexual assault, and she was traumatised by it, I’m a sherry trifle!
