Brilliant post by @stealthsquirrelnutkin (on Monday!!) I've only just had tome to watch the interview on YouTube and had to come here to find out what MN thought. It's taken a while to read this thread and @Datun has it spot on - Posie's doing her thing bloody well because we're all still talking about it!
My opinion - he's a horrible person, obviously a lot of baggage there and he lets it colour his life and his views on everything. Posie's facial expressions said she thought he was a twat even though there's a couple of views they shared. It was so obvious that she wasnt there to talk TO him - she was using it as a way of speaking publicly, without interruption (I admired his excellent technique btw), on a subject she is passionate about. You don't get a lot of opportunities to do that, especially not in front of such a large and diverse audience (his channel has 22000+ subscribers), so good for her for grabbing that.
She has reiterated a number of times that she doesn't call herself a feminist, she has never lied about her associations, she certainly isn't profiting financially from them (or why would she be working so hard on flogging merchandise) and she appears only to be using their connections to gain a bigger audience OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT READ MN OR GC WOMEN ON TWITTER.
LIke most people I meet, I don't agree with everything she says or believes in, but I absolutely support her right to say what she thinks. I've met her a few times and have found her to be a likeable, energetic and genuine person, with no patience for power games or agendas.
(I'd like to see that awful man in a head to head with ghastly Ben Shapiro...)
