Apparently "expressing solidarity with the trans community will only provoke a storm of angry feminists (led by a male comedy writer) to harass you for days."

Because obviously we women are too pathetic and useless to organise ourselves and only do anything when a man tells us to.

They don't even bother hiding their contempt for women any more.

He's pretty hard left though isn't he. So it would be a surprise if he wasn't blinkered

I dunno. I retain this crazy optimism that people are intelligent enough to think for themselves. I don't know why, as it is constantly being knocked back.

Even Marx and Engels understood that women were oppressed, and that women's liberation was fundamental to socialism. But to people like Bragg and Talcum X, women are just a nuisance and an inconvenience. Can you imagine what Marx would say if someone could tell him that the big campaigning issue for today's socialists is the right for men to say they are women and use women's changing rooms?

The blind spot these lefty men have is so huge! Must let other men have anything they want, even if it involves disadvantaging women. They have to treat our perfectly reasonable concerns as offensive to sort out their cognitive dissonance and ensure they still feel like the good guys.

Billy I used to love you and now I think you’re a tosser.

I read that earlier.

Silly little women can't think or organise for themselves they need a man to lead them. It reveals an awful lot about Braggs views on women generally

He is such a disappointment

Aaaaah my near neighbour Billy, who quit the mean streets of Barking to live closer to the Tolpuddle Martyrs down Dorset way.
