Ashley Cain comments about women

[Hardliner]

He's not particularly on my radar, but I just read this and felt floored all over again about how some men feel about women.

I know the comments were years ago, but this kind of vile misogyny doesn't exist in a vacuum.

What a crappy start to the day.

Quite.

Imagine if it was hate speech against any other minority group except boring old women. His feet wouldn’t touch the ground 🙄

He cashed in on his child’s death. I would love his charity to be properly audited.

His beard is absolutely disgusting. It must stink.

The BBC really has a big issue with who they employ. He’s grim.

His tattle threads make interesting reading. They have receipts.

This man exploited his dying child,in her last days she should have been resting at home with cuddles from her parents not paraded on social media for likes.
there are questions about the money raised.the man was in debt and then suddenly seemingly debt free and wearing designer clothes with high powered cars.

hopefully people will see through him and look into the go fund me.

Never heard of him before. Hopefully I'll never have to hear from him again.

Sadly, I expect I will as he'll probably be the next Restore Britain poster boy bemoaning free speech and cancel culture.

He’s vile. The way he exploited his dying child and her mother was awful!

I have no idea who he is and I am glad for that. He sounds awful. Why do so many men embrace misogyny?

What a silly comment.

Why are mentioning politics? You have no idea if Tate and Cain’s politics differ.

Pots and Kettles!! 😂

Because it enables them to hide their own (massive) failings.

Obviously as ugly on the inside as he is on the outside.

I’m a big supporter of the BBC, I think Public Service Broadcasting is important, and it does lots of great work in education, disability rights etc.

So this story makes me really angry, how could they fail in such a basic way ? I wonder if it’s too much trust / lack of monitoring, of independent production companies… or maybe they are so desperate to grab a certain demographic they let standards slip (still not over them employing Gemma Collins).. or maybe budget cuts are causing it?

Whatever it is, when will they learn? They need to make well researched, intelligent Televison, presented by educated (not misogynistic) people, who don’t think being thick is something to be celebrated. Sick of seeing BBC staffers on House of Games who don’t know basic geography (and by basic I mean not knowing where Germany is) History (not knowing when Queen Victoria was in the throne) .. and a myriad of other topics.

Yep - I have no idea who he is but his look matches his comments.

I get your point but it’s incorrect to refer to women as a minority group. We aren’t.

I do think this points to a broader issue though - why is it so many of the male voices seen as “appealing to young men” - from the extreme, (Tate, Cain) to the less extreme (Peterson,
Williamson, Galloway) all seem to lean into misogyny to varying degrees.
Is it a bug or a feature?

Surely there are men who appeal to young men who aren’t misogynistic in any sense.

That is one hell of an ugly-looking thing. Wouldn't want to meet that in a cornfield at night, or at any time.

I do wonder if this kind of beard is in itself a red flag. My ex grew one exactly the same after his descent into the vileness of the manosphere.

I’ve never liked the man. He broke up with the mother of his child shortly after their baby died then got another woman pregnant within months. Who does that? That poor woman dealing with immense grief, then the dad shacks up with someone else and has another baby… Talk about rubbing it in her face.

Didn’t they both also get “fans” to donate thousands of pounds towards a charity they never set up as well??

Totally depressing, woman hate is so prevalent in our society.😕

I think it’s the whole aesthetic.

All the men I see who embrace that kind of look are almost always raging misogynists.

I also find it disturbing when misogynists always find a group of women will to date them / have their kids.

The only reason I know of him is because he was all over my Instagram a while ago fundraising money for his daughter’s treatment. Everyone was chipping in and it was a huge thing. He was portrayed as the ultimate hero girl dad.

Yes I completely agree. My ex really played up his feminist credentials until we were married and I was pregnant. At that point he did an abrupt about turn. Even had the gall to ask me to "make me a sandwich" way way before I'd even heard of the turd that is AT. I thought he was just being rude 🤦🏽
The beard makes me want to heave every time I see him now.
