Alice Roberts - what the hell?

It must be the morning for this type of cobblers. I've just heard Margaret Atwood on Radio 5 Live telling us all we should save our energy for something more useful than campaigning against strip clubs and it's a choice women should be able to make to work in them if they feel it empowers them .

She then appeared to argue that Madams running brothels in the wild west were bastions of female empowerment or some such because they were better employers than a male pimp.

The people who come out with this sort of argument always do so wearing heavy duty rubber gloves don't they? They know they and their family members will never have to do such work themselves, it's just fine if other women are doing it through 'choice'. A choice that well-off females don't tend to ever make, funnily enough.

Vox article discussed here:

She has a tour to sell, look on her website seats available on every date that l can see. If l was a cynic l’d say that this is very good way to attract traffic through her Twitter on through to her website booking system.
Using women to make herself relevant and flog a few seats l suspect.

Yup. She's tweeted that crabby article in Vox. Good god, woman!

"Beware biological essentialism: the latest frontier in civil rights, and the unholy alliance between gender-critical feminists and the far right: t.co/fIPATFmW3a "

Agree. If she can be a scientist and get it so wrong on a simple biological fact, can we trust anything she says about anything?

And evidence for this terrible alliance Alice?

No, thought not.

Alice Roberts has just gone full-on "there's a terrible alliance between gender-crit feminists and the far right!!!!!!!" She's lost the plot entirely.

Bye, Alice, and any respect I once had for you (and I had a lot). If you demonstrate so little regard for the scientific principle in this regard, how can I listen to anything else you say?

Scientists disagree all the time, and that's fine. Calling other people "far-right" for disagreeing with you is not fine.

Witches? Just ID as a man and hey presto (men didn’t get burned so much did they?).

. You couldn't make it up, could you?

Just watching her Historic Towns programme on Stewart (Stuart for the English) Stirling. "This was a dangerous time to be a woman " she says as she talks about James VI obsession with witches.

There was even newspaper reports about poor bullied Alice being forced off twitter.

How does someone leaving twitter for a week because people disagreed with them make the news?

I agree Ereshkigal. I am surprised by how she has behaved. I assumed she was more of an adult ! I can only assume she has been Mrs Popular for so long that she can’t take any criticism, even when it is clear and polite .

She has zero integrity. I think her behaviour has been really pathetic.

She quit long enough for the newspapers to cover how she’d been the victim of ‘misogyny’ and for James Wong and Adam Rutherford to send her hugs.

That was the point.

Those last hours though, at least she gave it a week.

I think it’s called ‘doing a lily’

That twitter flounce didn’t last long did it?

No but the whole performance did much as Roberts intended it to do. It deflected from the fact she'd come out with rubbish, established her victim status, got loads of people to fluff up her ego, and got in some handy virtue-signalling for good measure.

All that for a week's holiday from twitter. A bargain.

Making A Human:

When a person who identifies as a mummy and a person who identifies as a daddy love each other very much, their essences combine and produce a person who identifies as a baby.

They report this to the authorities so the person who identifies as a baby can be assigned a gender.

That twitter flounce didn’t last long did it? Going off in a huff not convenient when you need to promote your next gig I guess.

Making a human. Brilliant!

I've been perma banned three times from Twitter because of this utter bollocks. This thread has cheered me up no end

Ah I see the tweet.
I’m heading south to the Vale of Avalon - and I’ll be lecturing at the Free University of Glastonbury at the top of the Park tomorrow at 1.30pm, on the making of a human. Come along! @glastonburyuni* @GlastoFest*

So how exactly does one make a human? I take it it happens when someone who feels like a mother-to-be loves another person who feels like a parent-to-be very much and then something really complicated happens, I mean, way too complicated for most people to really understand so don't go having opinions on stuff, right, I'll let you know what is kind and reasonable and acceptable. And then a while later a theyby appears! No questions tx.

She's back on twitter

It is ironic that she is a very vocal campaigner against faith schools, yet is buying into this belief system wholesale.

She loves herself and women can be narcissists too.

This doesn't surprise me one bit.

She did a test in the middle of Bristol for bike riders and their carbon intake. Guess what, it was all fine and dandy. IN BRISTOL. That's when I knew she was talking shite.
