There is definitely a ‘type’ of man isn’t there?
It seems so.
Mark Damazar kept mansplaining to Mishal Husain that her introduction falsely linked Baroness Nicholson to the Booker because of her honorary title. MH had to explain twice that the introduction linked Baroness Nicholson to the Booker because of its history.
He claimed that the action was taken because of Baroness Nicholson's tweet about MB, not because they were accusing her of being homophobic, transphobic or racist, which conflicts with their statement. As Baroness Nicholson said, when you distance yourself from somebody and then say that you aren't homophobic, racist or transphobic, you are clearly saying that they are homophobic, racist and transphobic. I think the linguistic term is a 'contrast clause'.
(He is probably having to back pedal frantically on this, because David Willets)
Its also clear that despite his claims, he hasn't paid any attention to what Baroness Nicholson or JKR have said if he honestly believes this is just about restricting spaces to biological women.
I'm suspicious that the person demanding the removal of the Baroness was the American sponsor.
