What famous people have you lost respect for?

[FeetupTvon]

There are currently quite a few I have lost respect for, who are yours and why??

!You do know what a pseudonym is? Worked pretty well for George Eliot!

And why do you think she felt the need to do that??! Dear old misogny!

Why wouldn't she want to be judged on her own merits as an author than on the basis of her sex??

Phil the animal murdering cretin? He can get ta fuck 😡

She pisses me off - her and Amanda Holden. Never out of the press for wearing revealing clothing. Grow the fuck up ladies!

You keep banging on about her being a 'grown woman in her thirties.........' 🙄
WTAF has that got to do with anything?

It's got everything to do with the subject, as she's a grown adult but repeatedly referred to as a child because people don't like her opinions.
It's patronising, and assuming women don't know their own minds.
They're only saying it as they're brainwashed (sheeple) or doing it to please the men (handmaidens)
Heaven forbid we have an opinion of their own.
🙄

I agree, she is misogynistic! Glad we're on the same page.

It's a pity she didn't believe that women authors have power and have the confidence to put her name out there on her work, even after a very successful franchise.

Relying on the illusion of being a male author in this day and age to get money is pretty sad... especially when the 'biggest' female author in the world professionally identifies as a man.

why David Tennant? he seems lovely

Oh god, don't get them started again 🤣

Oh eck is this another memo I've missed?!
Once you're "grown up"you have to ditch revealing clothing?!
Quick, where's me high neck blouse /twin set and pearls?! 😂🙄😁

😂
Yeah, think that's been covered on the thread 😁

Neil Gaiman. I am DEEPLY disappointed in him, I thought he was one of the good ones, but those SA allegations are horrible, and his own statements about them mean that at BEST he's sexually coercive and manipulative. but in reality it's probably worse than that.

Harry has been forced to say those things by his wife.

Proof?

In no particular order:
Ant and Dec - northern
amanda Holden - fake
Katie Hopkins - Poor root dying and resting bitch face
Peter Purvis - procrastination
David Tennant - stared out of the TV when he was on Dr Who straight at my breasts
Katie Price - For making horse riding uncool
Vic Reeves - For never really having any proper jokes that you could laugh at

I read it in the sun and saw an programme about him on GB news.

he's a treasure and I love him. and that's not based on fancying him. I only fancy him with the snake eye lenses. but as a person, he's so decent and caring.

She's not just some old boss!! They got their break in acting because of her - surely she deserved a little bit of loyalty? A little bit of respect?

And you don't have to "blindly agree with your old "boss"" - but you don't have to throw her under a bus either!

Don't you mean 'nouns' not "pronouns"??

No, I meant pronouns but thanks for checking x

@Hunnymonster1
Well you're definitely not a feminist, a men's rights activist more like.

Lol, ditto!

🤣

How tedious.

Morrissey. I idolised The Smiths so much and he was a 'marmite' character even then, but God - he went off the deep end about 10 years ago and never came back. Using his official website to platform conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, white supremacists... lunacy that you can barely imagine. Trying to 'target' record executives by name and smear them, then being exposed as an utter liar. Honestly, there's some teenage part of me hoping that one day, we'll be able to blame it on some kind of horrendous mental breakdown. But I doubt it.

We are absolutely not on the same page! The misogny is all yours!!

In what world is using your initials and not your full name an "illusion of being a male author"? It means you don't know the sex of the author, at least initially, and what is wrong with that? I don't see why the fuck it matters. She made her decisions re authorship names on whatever basis, and it's utterly her right to do that.

JB Gill is a contestant on Strictly. Is that also an "illusion"??? Catch yourself on!
