I know, Sir! It’s because the Guardian has a financial interest in mischaracterizing this debate to its readers. This is not a ‘both-sides-are-bad’ situation. This is a situation where feminists who centre women in their feminism (actual feminists, in other words) are vilified, smeared, bombarded with rape and death threats and even physically assaulted.
It’s 2020 and women can’t even hold a meeting without woke arseholes trying to disrupt it. Look what this young Muslim woman had to deal with. Those are Labour conference attendees banging on the doors and windows.
As for The Guardian, not only do they have to think about the miracle of their young woke Anglophile American audience, but they also have Anthony Salz, who has links with Mermaids, sitting on a board that has the power to fire the editor.
So when you’re wondering why the Guardian conveniently forgets a fact like the one Alan mentions in the tweet above, just remember that advice that will never grow old, that will always remain true.
Follow the money.
Thanks, Graham!
