Brand/ Walliams / misogyny

I am Gen X and both B & W are kinda contemporaries. I do feel pretty wobbly about what has been confirmed - I’m pleased all of this has come out but, it’s also unleashed and uncovered the extent of the depth of misogyny, across women and men now. The whataboutery, the challenging of where is the evidence, the challenge of why now 20 years later, the challenge of yes but, the industry around them, and on and on. And the focus of them over the victims, the women. It feels like as women we are decentred, blamed or dismissed again and again. Plus these cases making so many I read online and those I know think… hang on… what about those times when… there is such a lack now of what consent means - no at any time. The AIBU - to feel this way.

Things were shit for women in the 90s and 2000s but at least there wasn't porn available to primary school kids, choking during sex normalised and the manosphere.

I don't think things are getting better for women with the likes of Andrew Tate, incel culture and extreme trans activists. I sadly think every generation has it's own version of misogyny and always will.

Yes, it is deeply saddening thay so many people are mindlessly sitting in Walliams' and Brand's corner despite all the evidence against them

I agree with 100%.

Once you see the misogyny around us, it’s very depressing. Women are still treated as objects/possessions whose feeling do not matter, by many many men.

I do know things are getting better, but the progress is far too slow.
