Discussion on Woman's Hour NOW about raunch culture, objectification of women etc.

[HerBeatitude]

Just thought I'd let you all know...

Hang on hang on hang on - isn't this connected to the other tosser on woman's hour? The one who spoke in favour of street harrassment?

yes, this is Brendan O'Neill's gang.

Brendan O'Neill - he spoke at the Battle of Ideas back in March but he sounds very similar to them. Is this ringing a bell dittany I'm sure you did some digging then?

ooh found it - living marxism?

I wonder who's pals with/sleeping with who?

Looks like she's been on talking about "what is a just war for feminists".

Am ROFLing/weeping at this result on google: "BBC - Radio 4 Messageboard - Woman's Hour - Do Women Debate? This discussion has been closed ..."

They're doing a debate at the Battle of Ideas on "Rape and the law - he said she said?"

Proles! Fucking hell:

"In 2010 rape is widely abhorred by men and women alike, and attitudes to women?s sexuality are enlightened and modern."

WRONG try again.

"Then there is the fact that the defendant is sometimes innocent. This is too easy to forget." Is it really? maybe if you live in a media-free world and never converse with fuckheads it is. But seeing as you know Brendan O'Neill and you write in a newspaper I find that kind of hard to believe.

That is one of the worst things I have ever read on the subject of rape. It ticks all the boxes: reference to "consent forms", mention of "real rape", "infantilising" women by taking rape seriously, talk about "regret" the next morning.

No I wasn't thinking of going unless other people are.

We could all form a MN mob and go and argue with the fuckers. There will be credulous people there who will buy their arguments, but might be open to intelligent ones if any are presented.

God yes, using their own tactics against them.

thanks for the info on worldwrite, they used to send me info in my last job, some of it was really wierd, esp a piece about how misconceived anti racism was.....it's beginning to make sense now

how misconceived is anti-racism?

I expect it's something to do with it being top-down, institutionalised anti-racism imposed on the populace without discussion (from what I remember of Living Marxism...)

Is this really what Marxism/Trotskyism is all about? What happened to all that redistribution of wealth stuff? Had no idea it was just about promotion of Bloody Stupid Ideas and saying that rape and racism are the will of the people
