Jolyon's misogyny on show again

"But I wasn't talking about Paul Smith himself, I was talking about the clothes, such as suggesting that skirts that ended mid-calf weren't flattering and that orange and green as a combination made you look like a carrot."

😂 Perhaps Jolyon should reread this article - not only because it is brilliant but because it would do him good to see that excellent writing doesn’t have to be fluffy and that it is quite possible to disagree with someone without making it into something personal.

Hadley being warm and fluffy in 2008:

I’m not surprised.
He’s an utterly disgusting misogynist who seems to be a thick as pig shit.

Hadley’s fashion column used to be anything but warm and fluffy. She was as sharp and on the nose then as she is now. If I remember corrrctly, at least one designer banned her from his shows because of unflattering comments.

I doubt Jolyon ever read a single word - all he’ll know is that she used to write about fashion and he’ll have put in her in a box in that basis.

This supporter of gender stereotypes clearly expects that a woman’s role is to do ‘warm and fluffy’, and he tut-tuts her when she steps out of the ditch he has assigned to her.

I guess he is referring to the fact that she used to write regularly about clothing and such like. I'm guessing that was simply because she was a young and relatively new staff member whose talent was being developed by giving her a more trivisl spot. She wrote really well then, really dry humour, but they were quite slight pieces.

So I wouldn't describe the tweet as misogynistic. I would just take issue with the 'descent into madness' bit, which I think might be termed as projection on the part of JM.🙄
