I’m not responding to the child in the room here. They’ve ignored every single post asking them reasonable questions and just reappear to troll for attention. Yawn.
Anyway.
I was out last night with a group of friends, mainly gay men but there was one female friend there one who is a similar age to me. I’ve not seen her for ages. We were talking and I told her about NG as she hadn’t seen any of the details but was vaguely aware he’d been cancelled.
The thing that really came out though is that so many women in their 40s are just thoroughly sick of the shit that men pull. Of course it goes without saying that NAMALT but way too many are. It’s just not a surprise any more but we were both saying that we just feel as if we’ve had enough of it. No tolerance left for patriarchal BS. And although both of us have had mainly male friends throughout our lives, we are both finding the company of women really nourishing now.
She was also saying that her teen boys had been following Andrew Tate and believed what they’d heard - but luckily she intervened and put them straight so they don’t watch his stuff any more. And they are three really kind, lovely boys, not the type of incense you’d associate with Tate. I wish there were healthier male role models for our young men.
Instead we’ve got lecherous men like NG who somehow persuade youngsters that it’s perfectly normal to send him pictures of themselves in the bath. Fucking creep.
Sorry, this post isn’t particularly relevant to NG specifically other than to say another woman is now aware of what a predator he is. But just also to say how utterly wearisome it is to constantly have to deal with male egos, male privilege, and rife misogyny. I’ve discovered that even men who seem lovely and by their actions seem to be a genuine female ally have misogynistic views. It just never fucking ends. Gah.
