Brilliant article in The Critic - Victoria Smith

[TheExtraGuineaPig]

I couldn't see another thread...

I loved this article. It brought tears to my eyes - angry and sad. The bit about ladettes in the 90s. I was 90% there.

Boom. Bloody brilliant.

Great article. Victoria Smith always has a gift for getting to the nub of it.

Really enjoyed that, thank you for sharing.

She is wonderful.

Oh my god - what a clever article. It's genius - and it's true.

Yep, she is excellent. [Applauds for a long time.]

She's great isn't she.

Women as service-humans.

That was great, thanks for sharing!

Fantastic.

Thank you. What an original and salient article.

love it!

She's my absolute favourite feminist writer.

So deeply perceptive and really lays out exactly what is happening.

Great article.

You’re mocked for being obsessed with things that will never happen — no one has clean socks, there’s no food in the house, women have lost all sex-based rights and feminism has become practically meaningless — but the only reason they won’t happen is because of your eminently mockable obsessions

Great stuff

Thank you, great article. Looks a good magazine actually, I might try it for a bit.

Excellent excellent excellent

Fantastic article. Think lll send it to DS as he seems a bit confused about what feminism really is, having been exposed to the new kind online, which doesn’t seem to tally with my particularly MNetty brand of feminism at home!

Fantastic article, answers a few of my questions as to what is happening with young feminists and how they are supported by 'professional' feminists who both look at us with contempt and don't want to get their own hands dirty - brilliant.

I'm still getting my head around how this forum is pointing out the bleeding obvious above all the fucking professional feminists? And this helps.

I just came to check this had been posted here - fabulous isn't it!

This is a superb bit of writing. Thank you for posting it!

Beautiful piece. And every word absolutely bloody true.

Love the bit about being radicalised into still thinking what I thought 5 minutes ago.
Vipers really got me brainwashed
