According to the Associate Editor of Spiked! online magazine, Joanna Williams, we're not at risk, as so many feminists are in positions of power now.

Anyone else wondering if Joanna Williams is a nom de plume for a bloke?

Isn’t spiked a libertarian publication? This would therefore be a totally expected view for their staff. I think Claire Fox works there and she has form for basically saying stuff not too far removed from this.

While it’s tempting to believe people like this are always really men, the sad truth is many, many women would agree with her.

Also, have we found our midnight misogynist friend?

I guess some people are so privileged that they never have to experience any poor treatment by men. Lucky them, but unfortunately the majority of us do.

That’s such exciting news!
And yet only last night myself and two other colleagues had our breasts grabbed at work (surprise, surprise by a man) and we were encouraged not to get security or the police involved because it would take us away from a busy night shift. So safe.

I think she is female. Was on a tv discussion with Jess Phillips a while ago which is available on youtube. And I think wrote a book, women vs feminism in 2017. She's also on twitter now saying women cling onto victim status as a way of justifying our positions.

I read her book about censorship. It was good in places, but her lack of empathy towards people who are bullied was nauseating. No prizes for guessing whose side she was on in the schoolyard.

Well, that would be nice

Phew! I'm so glad having a few women in minor positions has finally sorted this one out.
Pity our own dear Queen didn't think of this a few decades back. Who knew, if she had just declared himself as a Feminist, so many lives could have been saved!

Gosh, tell that to the Asian girls being taken away against their will to be married and raped by older men. Or the women beaten up and broken by their partners. Or the young girls who are groomed and repeatedly raped by pedophiles...

If Joanna isn't a bloke, she should be ashamed of being a woman.
