Brilliant article!

Very good indeed. The whole 'porn is liberating' shtick is why I would not call myself a feminist for a long long time. But of course now I'm here

Love the point about older nurses. Well done. Can't get comments to load. Are there any?

TimeLady · 15/06/2019 07:21

My, you can hear her simmering rage as she was typing that. Flowers

DustOffYourHighestHopes · 15/06/2019 07:03

Great article

TheAngryLlama · 15/06/2019 06:58

Fantastic woman she is. So clear, so crisp, so right.

NonnyMouse1337 · 15/06/2019 06:54

Great article, but also incredibly frustrating and upsetting because as usual no one on the woke left would bother reading it or using their critical thinking skills, if they have any.

Fanbloodytastic Janice!!

Mner2019 · 15/06/2019 06:39

Awesome article.

NeurotrashWarrior · 15/06/2019 06:36

Brilliant!

But what if a heavily made-up little girl danced semi-clad in a straight sports bar? Both sexualise children. A rainbow flag is not a fig-leaf.

I make the comparison to girls repeatedly about Desmond is Amazing.

Freaking0ut · 15/06/2019 06:19

Amazing work, it gives me hope 👏👏👏👏

FeckTheMagicDragon · 15/06/2019 06:17

Just called my sister (across the Atlantic) and read this to her.
Brilliant! Bloody brilliant!

ConstanzaAndSalieri · 15/06/2019 06:07

Another one cheering Janice Turner.

TemporaryPermanent · 15/06/2019 05:56

Did Ruth Hunt really say 'Men will always rape women'?

It's good to know that Janice Turner as a responsible journalist wouldn't directly misquote anyone. So she must have done. Good grief.

SpitefulBreasts · 15/06/2019 05:10

Whether it's the Left or the Right is immaterial. There is no Political Party speaking out for Women or children. A large percentage of the population have no political voice and I'm just pleased to see an article that addresses the issues that some Women have been shouting about.
Well done Janice

ChiaraRimini · 15/06/2019 05:09

Fantastic article. And she is so right that men can be persuaded to look the other way and young women can be intimidated. Beware the middle aged women who DGAF!

AudacityOfHope · 15/06/2019 04:56

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

gloriana
the left have never given a shit about women or children.

GlorianaCervixia · 15/06/2019 04:06

Of course there are people on the right supporting this but I expect that from them. It’s the woke-erati, with their “right side of history” blathering that depress me because they are capturing progressive media outlets and celebrating the oppression of women and children. It’s so shocking and it makes me very, very sad to see.

Graphista · 15/06/2019 02:37

Excellent article thanks for linking op.

However @GlorianaCervixia

It is NOT the preserve of the left, there are left wing people on the wrong side on this but there are just as many right wingers supporting this Orwellian nightmare

GlorianaCervixia · 15/06/2019 01:50

Superb article. It’s been depressing to watch the NSPCC debacle and realise how much of the left will excuse any abhorrent behaviour as long as it’s men that’s doing it.

Janice Turner and James Kirkuk gives me hope that there are still people who see what is happening and who will stand up.

IAmAlwaysLikeThis · 15/06/2019 01:36

Yeeees

FiredMaya · 15/06/2019 01:28

Brilliant!

QOFE · 15/06/2019 01:02

Yes! No fucking way will I be conned into seeing my liberation in porn.

And that sentence, "a rainbow flag is not a fig leaf" - that jumped out at me. Because, even as a lifetime supporter of gay rights (since before it was cool), I agree. Desmond Is Amazing is being used and abused, it's obvious if you aren't blinded by wokeness.

nonsenceagain · 15/06/2019 00:52

Brava 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

zen1 · 15/06/2019 00:50

Great article - thanks for sharing.
