I fail to call her a journalist anymore. It's an insult to the good journalists out there...
"The slut walkers, with their black clothes and gothic make-up, are well educated and fiercely super-confident young women raised by middle-class mothers to expect everything they want from life. They take no prisoners.
They will glide through life, bossing their husbands and bosses, doing exactly as they please.
But the brown, over-manicured young women who weren?t on yesterday?s march, who were half a mile away schlepping in and out of Primark and
H&M, might as well have been a million miles away. This demonstration was preaching to the converted.
We all know rape is bad, don?t we? But the other women, the working-class women who have only been taught to shop till they drop will, if not be raped, put up with low-paid jobs and expectations, domestic abuse, bad relationships, debt.
Because what these women are lacking is self-belief, a quality the slut walkers have in droves. There is no sisterhood between these two groups, none.
The super-confident sluts should have been demonstrating outside Topshop, and marching down Oxford Street.
Now that would have been something."
Just where the hell do we start? Of course, the middle classes never have bad relationships, debt, get raped or stuck in an abusive relationship... I'm actually lost for words....
