West London Free School founder's views on Page 3 - just staggering

WLFS's founder Toby Young spectacularly misses the point about Page 3 and why people object to it in an article in The Spectator. Link here if you haven't had the pleasure: blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/01/je-suis-page-3/
Am astonished that there hasn't been more of an uproar about it. The idea that someone who holds these views should be in charge of a school strikes me as pretty horrific. If either of my DCs were there I would be going nuts.

And yes, I know it will probably get deleted again MNHQ Grin

His argument assumes that the objection to p3 is that it promotes physical violence towards women. As far as I can see, the damage it does is to present a view of women that dismisses us as anything other than decorative and thus permits an educated man like him to dismiss the vast majority of thinking women as scolds in sandals.

As I said - spectacularly missing the point. To the point of idiocy.

To the point of idiocy you say?

Google can supply many images of TY looking like an idiot, one of the many drawbacks of being a Professional Goady Fucker.

An uproar would only give him more material for his forthcoming bestseller, "How to Lose Headteachers and Alienate Parents". Grin
