I'm always surprised by Laurie's own self worth. You could almost admire it. Perhaps this is her great act of establishing equality - at last we have a female with the confidence of a mediocre white man.

And still she doesn't see that trans activism, with men threatening women who believe in biological sex, is part of this wider movement!

Honestly, it's not as if left wing activist spaces are short of women who make excuses for dodgy men, but Laurie still stands out with her record.

Of course, Laurie puffing up Neil Gaiman, and blaming the victims for the Cologne rapes, and saying small girls should just avert their eyes from laydee penis, makes perfect sense if you assume that everything Laurie says is part of a status game, which is why her "feminism" relies overwhelmingly on dunking on low-status men like Andrew Tate and the Ayatollah of Swindon.

I will think about taking Laurie seriously if, and only if, she ever takes a stance that might risk her status in her little world.

She's a chump. I got very sweary when I saw that headline earlier 🙄🙄🙄

Helleofabore · 13/04/2026 16:49

is this the Laurie Penny who said that a girl should just avert her eyes if she didn't want to see a semi-erect penis on a male person who accessed a female single sex provision? Because apparently that is all that is needed to avoid sexual abuse?

That Laurie Penny?

Meanwhile, we still await Laurie reflecting on her good friend Neil Gaiman, who got her work in Hollywood, and whose right-on nice-guy persona proved to be a very effective cover for being a prolific abuser of women.

Given how close Laurie was to Gaiman, and how she effectively functioned as a character witness for him for years, "I was rude about Carl Benjamin ten years ago" just doesn't cut it.

Excuse me while my eyes roll out of my head.
