    Sexual Revolution- my new book about gender, sex, anti-capitalism and anti-fascism- is available for pre-order now- and every pre-order makes a difference. Here’s the Amazon link, if you use the site. Also, check out the INCREDIBLE cover.

    And yet this is the sole example she uses in the picture she’s so keen to paint of ‘progressives’ wilfully endangering children because of their ‘extremist ideology.’ This is not just a professional fuck-up, though it’s definitely that. It’s also just a bad argument.

    Given all that, you’ve got to wonder why Young chose to use this as her example of ‘extremist ideology’. Young herself acknowledges that this was: -a paraphrase -based on a possible bad faith reading -of one tweet -about a completely hypothetical scenario.

    Young has, again grudgingly, made it clear that I have never defended a sexual predator. She has admitted that, at most, what happened that I wrote a tweet that could possibly be misconstrued to mean something I don’t believe.

    In ’s article, she quite clearly uses me as your example of a ‘progressive’ who ‘insists’ that ‘such exposure’ (which she makes clear is a sex crime) ‘should be accepted’. She has now acknowledged that I don’t actually think and never ‘insisted’ on that. >

    Writers are people who dream of having millions of people read their story, and are also deathly afraid of having anyone they know read their story.

    I see has misrepresented me in the New York Daily News. What a low and dishonest way to behave. Not to mention shoddy journalism. I won’t be holding my breath for an apology.

    Except that isn't what was done at all, and that's very self evident if you look at the tweets mentioned. Laurie wasn't even quoted, but maliciously paraphrased.

    What’s wrong with learning? Or going to university? Or working at one? Graduates and postgraduates aren’t some mysterious shadowy elite cabal. They are a significant chunk of the population. And academics are ordinary people who work hard and don’t get paid enough.

    Anti-intellectualism is a far-right dogwhistle. I’ve never seen more hostility, including on the left, slung at people just because they went to university, have read a few books, value learning and/or try to educate themselves about the things that matter to them.

    Hundreds of these so-called feminists signed the WHRC declaration. The WHRC calls for the "elimination of transgenderism" in the evidence to Parliament. They are literally, openly calling for elimination.

    Posie Parker thinks fear of discrimination is a sexual fantasy. She sure has a fucked up idea of sexy.

    In this climate of anti-critical race theory efforts, everyone should be paying attention to this case out of Texas. Black educators, school administrators and allies who support equity and inclusion in schools are at risk. A bonus thread. (1/ )
