Vichy Feminism is going to get someone killed
You may remember Katie Herzog, Jesse Singal and Helen Lewis smearing me on the basis of my ‘Her’ prank, in which I exposed the problem of men pretending to be lesbians on that dating app. Well, here’s a fresh crop of chancers.
The first guy seemed familiar to @artofhunger75.
This is a profoundly disturbed young man, his condition complicated not only by autism but also schizophrenia, who is calling himself a lesbian and being told by wider society that anyone who disagrees with his view of himself is a bigot.
The reason Mark and I are among the first to get this information to a wider audience is that we have been paying attention to this issue in a manner that would not be compellingly profitable to journalists like Lewis, Singal, Ronson etc. All of them would rather smear me for talking about it than directly address the urgent and grave problem of men invading women’s spaces.
This is part of a broader issue of inappropriate decorum amongst people who have placed too much value on receiving dinner party invitations. The disgraceful request that women “be kind” in accommodating men like McKee is going to get someone killed. It’s not just that pronouns are Rohypnol. As long as they keep pandering to dangerous men by using their fraudulent preferred pronouns, timidly decorous journalists are putting young women in danger.
Braiden Lee McKee is terrifying, but he’s still only a symptom of this problem. The real problem are the enablers. Sometimes I worry that it will take a tragedy to reveal to these people how their careerism and cowardice is failing women.
Isn’t it ironic that there are calls for violence against women to be treated as the same as terrorism but are also quite happy to give away all of women’s rights and safe spaces at the same time. Why are they so fucking stupid!!! 🤬
I work in the domestic abuse sector and as a result I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that any rape, assault or murder of a woman by the people you are highlighting will make any difference whatsoever to this debate around women’s safety and rights. Men have been raping and/or murdering women for millennia for rejecting them, leaving them, cheating on them. The only people who genuinely care are Feminists (actual Feminists not the dabblers and sand-pit players) and men like yourself who are allies, and we are a minority. Other people turn a blind eye and victim blame in order to not have to take a closer look. Women’s lives are expendable, Trans lives are precious, therefore “collateral damage” would be acceptable to the indoctrinated acolytes of the cult. I’m dreadfully cynical, I know, and there is some hope on the horizon but I have little faith that highlighting the potential risk these individuals pose to women will make any impact whatsoever even though you are 100% right to do so.
