Dominic Raab still thinks feminists are bigots

He was on Marr this morning, just catching up on it now.

Remember when he wrote “feminists are now amongst the most obnoxious bigots” (amongst other gems) in this article in 2011 Dominic Raab: We must end feminist bigotry?

Marr just asked him if he still stands by that statement - he just waffled about supporting equality/Maria Miller. He’s asking to be our Prime Minister, and didn’t think that might be a good opportunity to say “hmm, I did generalise a bit there didn’t I, perhaps that was slightly offensive” at least.

Not that I have any say in who the Tories choose anyway, but way to start turning off 52% of the electorate before you’re even in No10, Dom.

Raab's intellect is about a third of that of Theresa May's.

Intellectually, he punches above his weight.

I don't think Raab understands what the word 'feminist' means.

But not all of that 52% of the electorate would describe themselves as feminists. I think there is sadly more people now who would take anti-feminist rhetoric as a plus point than a negative these days.

He's still a dick that 'didn't realise we relied so much on the channel' so nothing surprises me.

Raab is a lawyer so he probably needs to read the GRA 2004 plus all the Hansard Reports for that and the Equality Act 2010 + Hansard Reports very carefully so that he understands all the arguments before he starts hurling insults about.

[He is also married to a woman who works at Google!]
