I'm so sick of these men.

Franca123 · 06/10/2021 11:52

With allies like these, who needs enemies.

PronounssheRa · 06/10/2021 11:53

that's rich coming from a man who thinks males can grow a cervix and that women are dinosaurs. But, yeah Raab is an idiot too.

Misogyny only means hatred of women.
Hatred of men is misandry.
They're all idiots.

@Beamur

Misogyny only means hatred of women. Hatred of men is misandry. They're all idiots.
Leave it a week or 2 and it will mean hatred of women in a way that includes everyone else.

I'm not bitter. I'm surprised by the speed of linguistic change this year alone.

They are, and every time they open their mouths they just confirm it.

I wish they would all just shut up and fuck off.

Jaysus you couldn’t make it up either of them

Any more men stepping up to reveal the depths of their ignorance? These things usually come in threes, after all! We've had pot and kettle...

Yes. The word misogyny seems to be something that they are just speaking for the first time.

'Such an unfamiliar concept, I don't know if I've got it right in a sentence'.

NewlyGranny · 06/10/2021 12:30

If we needed a cause to incite misandry around they've given it to us on a plate here, but somehow still we don't hate, we just hope. 🤷🏼‍♀️

LobsterNapkin · 06/10/2021 12:31

I honestly think that one of the problems with politics is that lots of stupid people seem to get into positions they aren't mentally equipped for.

All he needed to do was say "sexism" if that's what he wanted to say.

Beamur · 06/10/2021 12:41

Yep, I suspect they think sexism and misogyny are the same thing...

Usernamenotavailabletryanother · 06/10/2021 12:42

The idiots are winning

Verbena87 · 06/10/2021 12:45

Fuck sake. It’s almost as if an Oxbridge education alone can’t polish a turd.

Like it or not, these are educated people who move in the higher echelons of power.

Is it any wonder it's feeling implausible to have a decent public discussion where everyone knows what they're talking about and has a grasp of the stakes involved?

Oxford can take the blame for Cameron and Johnson, but Lammy went to SOAS, then Harvard.
Lottapianos · 06/10/2021 12:53

Bloody useless idiots, the pair of them. Lammy never misses an opportunity for a bit of pontificating Hmm

lazylinguist · 06/10/2021 12:53

God, none of them actually care, they just want to be seen to be saying 'the right thing' to appear woke. And yet they can't even do that without making idiotic mistakes!

Lammysaurus · 06/10/2021 12:54

Jesus. Well, at least Raab knows he's supposed to think it's wrong, although he has the wrong word, misses the power balance, and ignores the fact that women can also be misogynist, which is part of the problem.

Lammy, on the other hand, knows what misgyny is and is cheerleading it.

Lovelyricepudding · 06/10/2021 12:55

The only difference between the definition given by the two of them is Raab correctly identifying sex.

AlexaShutUp · 06/10/2021 12:56

Well, seeing as the word woman no longer seems to mean what it used to mean, I see no reason why we shouldn't change the definition of misogyny as well.

What it really boils down to is the fact that male politicians don't actually give a toss about what happens to people with two x chromosomes. As long as they get to hang on to their existing privilege...

FreeBritnee · 06/10/2021 12:57

How can anyone define misogyny if no one is clear what a woman is? It sounds like Dominic Raab has it right. Men/ women they’re all the same.

MmeD · 06/10/2021 12:59

How, how, how do these people get into Oxbridge and then into government? They have educations that prove they are clever. Why then does so much stupid come out of their mouths? Please someone explain
