Go Hadley!

[Ekphrasis]

Is this a also thinly veiled comment on guardian colleagues who tend to shout women down?!

Good article and I’m pleased she gave James O’Brien what for as well.

She's great. I punch the air every time I see her stick her head above the parapet on Twitter, which is often.

Great article.

Yay for Hadley - the only Guardian regular with the guts to be gender critical (Catherine Bennett writes for the Observer).

I just read this and loved it!

Hurrah!

What a great piece! I really liked this "Men who are dismissing and shouting at women about how they have nothing to fear from them really need to be educated in the concept of irony." Spot on.

I love Hadders!

That is great; serious points with light-hearted tone. Nicely written.

Any man – and I have seen many online – who thinks he is proving his liberal credentials by shouting down women talking about these fears really needs to have a good long look at himself. Because this behaviour is – dare I point out the obvious? Dare I? – hideously patriarchal.

Bang on. Owen Jones and his ilk, take fucking note.

I used to think she was a lightweight flibbertigibbet. I know now better.

Bat, I wondered if that was who it was also for in light of this....

What a fantastic article

Wow, they've actually got the comments open on this one. That's the first time I've seen that in a while.

Oo yay, open comments!!

Blunt shouting hammer of talk radio

I love her. She's bloody brilliant

It's outstanding. Well done Hadley.

Great article and the comments are encouraging.

I'm encouraged by the comments too, especially all the people agreeing the James O'Brien interview was bullying. (Mind you, I have no idea if all the commenters are just Mumsnetters piling in...)

Oooh hadn’t noticed comments!

*"The latter group have been sneeringly referred to as “Terfs” (trans-exclusionary radical feminists)"

"Any man – and I have seen many online – who thinks he is proving his liberal credentials by shouting down women talking about these fears really needs to have a good long look at himself"

I honestly have no idea which male Guardian journalist this could apply to...? ;-)*

Awesome!

Whoever posted that is awesome, ekphrasis!

I’m just really not clear about why some women’s requests for safety are taken seriously while others are taken as proof of bigotry.

This! A thousand times this!

Ooh the comments weren't open when I read that earlier today, must go have a look.

Really great piece of writing
