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...

Eh? I think you’re grasping a bit, there.

I would genuinely love to hear your explanation as to how what he's saying isn't misogynist

Nope, you’re going to have to explain to me how this is evidence of misogyny or racism.

Getting annoyed at a question about patriarchy in a politics and society exam? Retweeting someone saying Disney has gotten worse since it became 'female-led'?

I really think you're going to have to explain to me how that isn't misogynist...

I’m not sure how you got that from those tweets. I think it’s rich that the Leaving Cert (in Ireland… self ID) is asking students about the patriarchy when an honest answer would likely get students on a list over there. He’s right that Disney fired a creator and changed leadership and it correlates with quality decline… there’s a lot of handmaidens out there. And the 50p is self explanatory, diversity usually extends as far as transing every possible issue.
So nice try OP but I’ve got eyes and can see for myself what he’s put and it doesn’t land where you think it does.

Linehan is a bit of an arse but I think you’re greatly overstating things here. Lots of people might find it a bit ridiculous to put a question about “how to identify the patriarchy in our society” considering how much effort is put in to reducing it compared to many other societies throughout history. Seems a bit “white guilt”-ish. And in Ireland that’s even more ridiculous than in England or the US.

Same for the coin. It’s silly. He’s not a far right extremist for finding it silly.

Unless of course that makes me a FRE for even seeing his point. 😂
