Seems to have completed his lurch to the far-right - in addition to his vocal support of Trump, I suppose his 'defender of women and girls' schtick doesn't really wash any more...

I pointed out that a man who claims to be in favour of women's rights (and who many on this very site love to shower with praise) is actually a clear misogynist on the feminism board? Yes, I did. What's your point?

Well you started it.

Literally.

Isn't it just? Is it a full moon or just the school/university holidays?

You're right, anyone who disagrees with you must just be a stupid child! No way that a grown woman could recognise an obvious misogynist when they see one

Once you notice that horrible people can be right a lot of the time, you find yourself hanging out in strange places. And your own sense of what’s acceptable shifts a bit.

You stop mollifying people, start speaking very plainly, and find yourself tipping over the line at intervals when previously politeness would have made you think twice before expressing some observations. Again, the woman who said, ‘That’s a man!’ and “I’m not a vet but I know a dog when I see one!’, is not going to pause before saying other things which are true in some situations and not in others. I admire her ‘Free your face’ campaign. It doesn’t surprise me that she goes too far with criticising Islam, and probably crosses the line into racism- I don’t pay close attention but I assume that’s the issue..

Oh, she crosses the line!

She's sold her soul to the devil!

You couldn’t afford her, lovey.

Blatant classism; well now I know you're fighting for all women!

Face it, if it walks like a misogynist duck and quacks like a misogynist duck, then it probably is Graham Linehan.

See how you had to explain what the 19th amendment was or no one would have had a clue what you are on about? It isn’t explained in the tweet, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

Could you give me the number of your yoga teacher? Only I'd love to be able to bend over backwards like you can to explain away obvious misogyny...

If the shoe fits.

Unless you are blind this very thread exemplifies the 'sheeple' mentality with the tunnel vision denials. They will excuse & vociferously defend anything.

"if we want to be a serious country with law & order, anything short of outright abolishment of the 19th amendment would be a grave half-measure".

What exactly am I misunderstanding here?

God the reaching on here to defend him. He's a fucking prick who hates women. I'm gender critical, this guy does not represent me

Except the far right has no intention of doing 'right' when it comes to women's rights in general unless you cluelessly consider a return to full time white incubator duty one.

Those of us on the actual left, not the pretendy left, think that both the far right and the pretendy left (Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid etc) are a a bunch of screaming misogynist activist whackjobs.

One of the reasons why people lose faith in the political Left is the utter screaming disdain for anyone who disagrees with them, as exemplified by your use of the terms "sheeple" and "cucking".

You'd think that the Left would have learned this after Bigotgate, but no...

You don't win people around to the causes of the NHS, social housing, fair pay, workers' rights, and working class solidarity by sneering at the very people you should be recruiting and calling them stupid.

Edited

There's no 'winning' ideologues with a single policy objective. Of course 'sheeple' & 'cucks' doesn't apply to everyone else as in the voting majority.

And the idea that its wokism & not the economy that decides elections is purely wishful thinking.

"I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong", wrote the notorious right-wing racist former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass.

You probably already are. I've lost count of how many sheeple on this forum are now loud & proud reform converts.

This kind of denial is what's known as 'cucking' for your cause.

Edited

It's called "demanding an appropriately high standard of evidence before interpreting someone's actions as having a particular intent", aka "not jumping to conclusions".

JustSawJohnny · 17/07/2026 22:38

I see your point but when the bed fellows include Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins I have zero sympathy & nothing good to say.

Ah, ok!

Glad you let me know. How utterly dastardly! Those poor gullible women! And to think I could have been ensnared!

The point is Linehan's real 'job' is to point gullible women towards the far right via a pretend shared interest in women's rights.

I have literally not agreed with any other human about everything in my entire life.

We’re not Graham Linehan’s mum. HTH.

But the OP’s telling on him, to you, and you’re a woman, so it’s your responsibility to tell him off. And if you don’t, you’re a misogynist. So there.

I don't particularly agree with him, but a disdain for certain leftist ways of approaching the topics of race and sex is not itself racist or sexist.

I don't know what's going on with the 19th amendment thing, I imagine like most of us he doesn't really know what the 19th amendment is and made a mistake in his rush to agree with the rest of the post.
