I really enjoyed this.

Yes that is good, and she got it in The Guardian!

Suzanne Moore has been a good one to follow on Twitter lately.

Hallelujah Suzanne Moore. Perhaps all is not lost with The Guardian? I had stopped buying it.

Liked that one. Just hope those in power are reading this stuff

In one of the Thursday Next books she comes across a load of characters in Enid Blyton (yes really ) who need emotion like a fix, ending up stoned on outrage, shame, joy etc. This article reminded me of that, the short-lived high of being on the right side and then the need for more more more.

I think it is brilliant so reasonable. You will never be able to agree with everyone on everything.

They have disabled comments on it. I also noticed that Hadley Freeman snuck in a line about JKR in her column. Also no comments allowed.

Interesting. I think someone on another thread said she's friends with Damian Barr (as is Janice Turner). If so, good of her to speak out at the potential cost of a friendship - that would have been hard.

Yes, excelllent article.,

the mundane truth that people may think differently from each other. Difference is not hate.

Quite.

I'm so glad she is still published in the Guardian.

That was nice

Didn't expect to read that in the Guardian.

Thanks for the links, both really interesting articles.

Thank god for Suzanne Moore, the lone voice left at The Guardian campaigning for the sex-based rights of girls and women. Love her work.

It's nice to be reminded that there's more to the Guardian than Owen Jones. I stopped buying it a few years ago.

It's great that the Guardian published this. They wouldn't have done two or three years ago. It shows they're standing up to bullying from their American counterpart as well.

Loved both articles, Hadley's and Suzanne's.

Really appreciated Hadley's emphasis on class.

That was pretty good, I don't enjoy most of her stuff, but she really made all the most important points about this.

I'm going to politely disagree with Suzanne, you are never better off with poppers. Horrible things.

"You can't cancel my right to think", exactly!👏👏

Excellent article

"You can't cancel my right to think", exactly!👏👏

That needs to go on a T-shirt.

Brilliant, I’m shocked to read this in the guardian especially the line about people wanting to see her cancelled.

I’m feeling more and more hopeful everyday.

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that about poppers. Did an essay about them at xi form after using. Yes, there is a reason they give you a headache. It is not nice.
