JULIE BINDEL: Russell Brand’s ‘trial by media’? Women wouldn’t have to go public if our justice system didn’t fail us

Appalling. The start of the piece:

When I was 17, I became a feminist campaigner because I wanted to fight for a future where women feeling safe and being heard were considered everyday norms.

I’m 61 now and still fighting as hard as ever for those basic rights, which remain infuriatingly beyond our reach.

The fact that, even today — especially today — I would find it incredibly difficult to advise a woman who has been raped to go and report it to the police breaks my heart.

What clearer evidence could you seek to prove that radical feminists WANT women to believe that the police and the criminal justice system won’t give them a fair hearing? The purpose is to soften up the public to accede to outrageous feminist demands such as juryless rape trials. The Mail isn’t accepting comments on the article. Quelle surprise.

Mary Harrington: “Why we sacrifice young girls”

An interesting piece just published by Unherd. Mary Harrington is a feminist and contributing editor. I’ve posted the following comments:
In destroying the nuclear family, and ensuring family courts deny fathers access to their children after family breakdowns through false allegations of abuse and/or violence, feminists removed the greatest protector any girl or boy had – their biological father. It would be good to see Mary Harrington and other feminists recognise this blindingly obvious reality, apologise publicly, and start making amends. Mike Buchanan JUSTICE FOR MEN & BOYS

Uwineza Mugabe: Transphobia in chess is anti-feminist

Uwineza Mugabe is  the “lifestyle editor” of the student-run “newspaper” of Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and the genius who wrote this piece. I’ve left these comments which will be moderated and surely trashed. [Update: To my surprise and their credit, my comments have been published!]
