I have been told I am a 'crazy feminist' and am interested in opinions.
Is it crazy to defend female celebrities that I hear being slagged in what I consider to be a sexist/misogynistic way?
Today it was Nigella Lawson. I don't own any books and never watched her on TV but I did tell a college that saying he found her gross, like a 'factory farmed breeding sow' was out of order. And why.
A few months ago Britney Spears - a trailer park slag who doesn't know how to behave and should lose custody of her kids. gain, I shut it down.
Others in last year - Ulrika Jonson, Clarissa Flockheart, Mary Beard, the female cast of GOT, Mel and Sue (I do sort of love M&S a bit but having watched bake off maybe 3 times don't have a paid up fan club membership)
I am very interested in what you do when in this position. Am I crazy? Maybe all theses women are dreadful, I don't know them but I can't seem to help myself wading in and shutting down the criticism.
Opinions please :)
