Ah, the expected enumeration of why women 'deserve' it.
Don't be ludicrous
Diana Spencer/Windsor was venerated to sainthood status posthumously, as frequently happens with famous/unfamous people alike when it's too late for recriminations and the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia kick in.
Famous people get criticised all the time, especially by the tabloids. But there were as many puff pieces as hatchet jobs.
During her lifetime she was ridiculed and lambasted by the newspapers almost constantly.
And fawned over just as much
No matter how much you try to water it down, Rowling has been hounded. What would you like to call receiving constant death threats, people intimidating you outside your own home, then applying DARVO and crying victim when they're publicly shown up for it? Kathleen Stock was another one hounded for similar views: urine down her office door, little 'presents' left on her desk, burning of effigies on her own university campus so that she had to have a police escort to work. Did she 'deserve' this?
Yes, trans rights activists are nutters. They don't represent the majority of the mainstream or social media any more than Isis does. And no, neither Rowling nor Stock deserve what has happened to them, but then I never said they did. That is all in your head. I do agree there is something extremely misogynist about TRAs and a lot of institutions are pandering to the trans cult.
'People find Meghan annoying', to quote the above. Mainly because the newspapers tell them to.
Nope, people find Meghan annoying all on their own. Preachy hypocrites who stick the knife into the royals aren't likely to endear themselves to people.
So what has she done that's so unforgivably dreadful? She pontificates and is self-pitying at times, not unlike the vast majority of her in-laws. Does that in any way justify the level of contemptuous, vitriolic, hate-filled bullying, hounding, sexism, (and, yes, overt and covert racism) she's experienced at the hands of a relentless media? Her treatment is not in any way disproportionate to anything she might have done?
I see neither racism not sexism in Meghan's treatment in the mainstream. As for the attacks, the reason for those is obvious. She went after the royals. You have to expect some backlash if you do that.
Pull the other one. And whilst you're at it, you might want to pack away your misogyny before it has someone's eye out.
Oh for fuck's sake, change the bloody record. I'm a woman. I don't hate women. I just hate some specific ones. Some I just dislike. Others I find merely annoying. Misogyny isn't the answer to every problem to ever befall a woman.
