But perhaps others, like me, may see the silver lining to this dark cloud of obvious misogyny that currently hangs above us: the discovery and examination that ensue from this chapter, may herald a new, brighter world, where these behaviours are demonised as they should be.
With so many eyes now opened to the depravity of the entitled minority, there is building, the strength of feeling, the disgust, among the vast majority of us, who would be pleased to see that that fragile "house of cards" come tumbling down.
As the majority, we hold the power of numbers. We hold the power of the purse. We hold the power of our labour. We hold the power of our obedience/compliance.
If we learn that our majority allows us the might to demand right, then we can ensure this dark and tangled web of deceit and abuse of power is dismantled for eternity.
Thank you so much, Steve. And I fully concur. I wrote once in another article that there's a vast difference between exploitation and abuse before and after equality has been experienced and and it's benefits felt by society as a whole. Women and men see patriarchial (and racial) abuse by powerful elites from a very different, 'post equality' vantage point now from which there should be no turning back. The Epsteinian web is enormously powerful but so are experienced human rights. We'll meet head on, ready for battle.
Christo-fascism should not belong anywhere. If reform get in power, as well as wrecking the economy, they'll destroy women's rights. With Orr, Kruger and ARC starting to make inroads and reform happily following a trumpstein agenda, the future is looking very dark.
Dark days ahead, indeed, if the British public allow themselves to be seduced by the likes of Farage and Reform et al… I’m hoping the British public, unlike the American, would have the sense and intelligence to steer well clear of this dangerous rhetoric, but it is a sobering realisation that they were led by the nose into voting for Brexshit… by the same disgusting individual now in charge of Reform.
Wake up Britain… don’t be like America! Stop this idiocy in its tracks now before it is too late and send its perpetrators packing into political and personal oblivion!
Yep. It is (slightly?) concerning that Brexit + the US are not acting as quite the 'what not to do / dummy runs' for the UK that we might have expected / hoped for. On paper (Brexit failures + Trump's ICE cruelty, foreign wars, failing US health care, muzzled media, etc etc) it all looks like it should be a clear turn off for Reform support.
Yet too many of the Reform curious are choosing not to join the dots. This isn't just carelessness or lack of info. There are vested interests at play, e.g. avoiding cognitive dissonance, saving face, and the prospective vindictive pleasure of 'winning' - of 'finally getting a government that will conquer wokeness' & shut it up for good ... (?)
Fair point. Wording is partly for brevity. Also, I think I'd argue that, since 'male' is not demeaning, then neither should 'female' be? It's up to us to use the term proudly and with the dignity it deserves (?)
I agree. A small point, though: 'females' I see as the demeaning vocabulary of the misogynists, who see us as animals. Can we just say 'women and girls'?
A fabulous, if unsettling article.

As always, serious commentary and superbly written.

Unless we stop it. That's the plan.

How misogynistic has Starmer been in his policies, by the way? Or has he actually been an arch-feminist in your view?
Isn’t the patriarchal manosphere exactly what we see in some Muslim homes and what Reform meant by family voting? Somewhat contradictory me thinks.
