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.

Utterly brilliant article.

It’s like taking the piss out of Mummy for not being able to see beyond the washing machine while still expecting a drawer full of clean clothes to magically appear
Absolute genius. True AND funny.

Thanks for this, great article.

“I don’t notice a person’s sex” is the political equivalent of “not noticing” the washing up (while still knowing it exists and relying on someone, somewhere, to do something about it).

I'd never heard of the Critic and after this read a couple of the political sketches which were also excellent, so I have just subscribed

Thanks for the link. There is also another article I!n that issue which people might find interesting, about the Left's misogynistic attitude to prostitution

Thank you for linking that. That is an interesting, well written article too.

Brilliant. Really like the critic mag. It's always well hidden behind the other mags in waitrose and I always put a few copies where they're visible

Thank you. Absolutely excellent article!

Great article and have enjoyed a couple of others too.

Am I brave enough to link it to my Facebook?

This was great.
I'm going to subscribe.

"For all the name-calling, for all the accusations of “fear-mongering” thrown at women who dig their heels in about sex-based rights, there is a reliance on these women to hold the line. It’s like taking the piss out of Mummy for not being able to see beyond the washing machine while still expecting a drawer full of clean clothes to magically appear."

Brilliant. Shame there aren't more articles like this in the left/centre left media
That's the people who are holding all of this up.

Have just read this article and came on here to see if anyone had shared. Such a good article! I've read loads of good articles in The Critic- they're not afraid to publish gender critical articles

Uffff read it again and again. How to hit a nail on the head.

Am I brave enough to link it to my Facebook?

You are!

I have sent it to all my younger female friends admitting that I was one of those ladette lovers in the 90s expecting my shirts to have been washed and ironed by the matriarchy. And here we are.
