It’s actually quite funny. Going through the many complexities of intersectional theory, in effect describing all the many groups supposedly oppressed by patriarchy. By the time we’ve included working class, poor and old people then we are well nigh including almost the entire population. He points out the incoherences of feminists (most notably the complete opposites represented by sex positive and radical feminism) and of course makes a reasonable point about the innate sex differences while also contradicting this very point with the notion that masculinity is simply a social construct! Unsurprisingly his peregrinations have the effect of making those, such as himself, who have gone through all this “work” and eventually had to use their “judgement” about the confusing and contradictory branches of feminism (surely feminist men shouldn’t be judging feminist women?) Seem both special (to themselves) and probably few as most men have things to be doing. He has a swipe at men saving women, while in fact presenting himself as an archetypal white knight, clearly obsessed with saving women.
The somewhat confused section on Allies misses the obvious that the most successful allies of feminists are and have been chivalrous men, white knights, who have indeed been in power and used that power to enact practically every whim of feminists (frequently reproducing to contradictory nature of feminism/s the author points out). It’s rather like a spoof, just what youd expect for a “professor” of journalism whose chief concern is himself.

Oh my God, this piece goes on forever. I’m starting to wonder how much of it Julie Bindel actually read, before posting it.

Haha probably none of it, knowing he’s a self-castrating mangina.
