      He didn’t sneer at the women. He defended (wrongly) their right to wear the burkha & niqab. He was sneering (rightly) at the garments themselves. Have you read the article?!

      of course I have! He took the piss out of them, literally calling them names. Which is a shame because lots of the rest of the article was very measured and sensible. We are never going to agree on this, is there much point in spending time arguing about it on Twitter?

      It’s not language I would use, I agree. But he was mocking the appearance of those garments. You can’t see the women wearing them so how can he have been mocking the women?

          Seriously? That’s rhetorically feeble. I can’t see you right now, but I could easily insult you. In fact it’s much easier to disparage someone whose individuality you can’t discern (as any Twitter troll knows), which is rather the point. It’s lazy knee-jerk dehumanisation.

          If the extent of our humanity is defined by externals it follows that a person with locked-in syndrome after a stroke is less than human. That a woman in a revealing dress is a piece of sex-meat. That if I can’t understand your language, you’re actually uttering animal gibberish.

          Ah yes it would only be name calling if he suggested they morph into letterboxes when they put on their veils instead of simply *looking like* one. He is sneering at the choice made by the women, therefore sneering at the women.

          Well who else is is mocking? A powerful white man, the former Foreign Secretary no less, "mocking" as you say one of the most vulnerable grounds in the country, Muslim women, at a time of heightened Islamophobia. Words matter.

          Mocking is not a crime. He argued (rightly) that women should be free to wear it, but that the garment itself is impractical and utterly ridiculous. He also is free to do that. If somebody is offended then tough. They can ignore him and not vote for him. The rest is hysteria.

          So you believe you should stifle the criticism. He is free to speak and he should equally deal with the freedom of everyone else to criticism him. It seems liberty only works for the Etonian and not for anyone else

          the lack of clothes in fashion magazines, fashion shows, advertising, television and pretty much all over the #msm far more dehumanising of women. female tv presenters are ousted once they look older whilst male presenters are still in those jobs. Where’s the outrage?

          "..it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes.", "...if a female student turned up looking like a bank robber." Quotes from Johnson's article. Is he mocking the garments or the people wearing them? I suspect the latter.
