I listen to LBC a lot - I work from home and enjoy the company of Nick Ferrari, James O’B, the amazing Shelagh and the lovely Tom, (only catch Ian Dale on days I’m taking my daughter to football).
i don’t share all their political views but I enjoy their shows and respect their viewpoints.
But I get so frustrated with James. He speaks about misogyny, how women learn from an early age to appease men, couch things in a certain way for male recipients of an email, how many of us hold keys between our fingers to protect ourselves against potential male attackers etc. it seems seems that he really understands why women are on their guard against potential male abuse.
Until of course he discusses trans issues. And then when a male says he’s a woman we’re all supposed to let down our guard and say ‘come on over sister’ when that male has had all the male privilege that JOB talks about and still has male attributes (and usually genitalia too). He spoke about how he found a unisex toilet absolutely fine (of course he did, he’s never had a stupendously heavy period when you’ve got blood on your hands, never been abused by a male, not of a religion that means you can’t share toilets with males).
Sorry just need to rant after his show today - he thinks there’s misogyny in Whitehall, without realising he’s part of the patriarchy. He really needs to leave these conversations to Shelagh.
