Does he not see his hypocrisy?

I'm not sure of your point?

JK Rowling is considerably richer and also funds causes and proects which are important to her.

Does he not see his hypocrisy?

Of course he does; it's a feature, not a bug. He could have chosen any other group but he knows this will rile feminists up and get him clicks.

He doesn't care whether the attention comes from love or hate, as long as people stay engaged he makes money.

Well not just that but those women were also excluded from the suffrage - hence the very term for them! If you're not allowed to vote you can't use your vote to advocate for change, and your only remaining arena are the streets.

In contrast, JSO et al. aren't so much trying to use their own vote or even influence the way others vote - a lot of them have stated that they want to directly pressure government actors into policy changes.

Good I’ll keep making them then :)

I think a huge differernce between the suffragettes and JSO is the former had a very specific policy they wanted to see enacted.

JSO doesn't, really, not one that is politically possible or meaningful.

How to get policies in place, on a worldwide scale, without crashing the global economy or fucking over large numbers of people, or fomenting a revolution. That's the problem, and they have no solutions.

Which is a hair's breath away from the classic definition of terrorism. It's certainly anti-democratic. Exactly the way political pressure groups want to operate these days, though.

exactly
the suffragettes were extremely disruptive and violent and very unpopular as a result- the entire movement for women's suffrage used a variety of methods including mass, peaceful protest
I don't think we've yet seen any climate activism that has approached what the suffragettes were driven to, although as a PP has said, they had no vote so limited options.
I actually think he's right that if we are fortunate enough to survive the climate crisis people will look back on ER and JSO much as we now look back on the suffragettes.
He's still wrong about women's rights of course but that's by the by

He's very ranty isn't he.

The woman with the confetti wasn't actually from JSO

I think she was asked to do it in order to distract from the pre wedding email.

My objection to Talcum X using The Suffragettes in his argument, is his sheer hypocrisy. He is not a feminist!
