The wokebro hypocrisy over Jeremy Clarkson

There's a thread on Clarkson's comments about Meghan Markle in Feminism Chat, but not here.

I don't particularly want to discuss the comments themselves (I'm sure we all agree they're horrific) but I feel myself once more being pushed to the brink by the hypocrisy of wokebros and handmaidens all lining up to condemn Clarkson as a misogynist, having allied themselves with a movement that routinely makes the most vile threats of sexual aggression against women - and having belittled women's concerns about these threats as silly or irrational.

Talcum X has made a whole video about how terrible Clarkson is. This is a man who routinely blocks feminists on social media so he can't hear what they're saying about male violence. The rest of the time he's calling us bigots.

Zoe Williams (her again) wrote an article about Clarkson in the Guardian, but she's another one who refuses to see the misogynistic bile that pours out of trans activists towards women.

They're all congratulating themselves on how progressive and feminist they are. I don't think I can stand it much longer. I don't know if it's deliberate gaslighting or they're all just incredibly stupid.

A "wokebro"? Are you 15?

So no comment on the substance of the post?

Had the same thought. People who wouldn't sign the letter condemning the rape and death threats to JKR are now falling over themselves to scold Clarkson. John Bishop is at it and I believe part of his act was adding more bile to what had already been heaped on Rowling.

Completely agree. Clarkson wrote about reenacting that scene from GOT where Cersi is publicly shamed by having shit thrown on her while naked.

Just a few days ago in Belgium, trans activists actually did throw shit at women who weren’t naked, hadn’t (fictionally) brought shame on a kingdom, but we’re just meeting to discuss women’s rights.

But Jones and Williams wouldn’t dare ever mentioning that at the time or now because they’re spineless cowards.
