Online stalking by women and what it means for feminism

[Imnobody4]

Women turn out to be bloody good at on line stalking and harrassment. I did see some of this on line. Is the Internet revealing the dark side of women as well as men.
Click, Stalk, Destroy is Taylor’s new book and it has the jacket cover of a pacy thriller, featuring a darkly lit glass of wine next to a phone, which in this case was her persecutor’s main weapon. Plot twist: Taylor is also a chartered psychologist who has spent her career researching and consulting on female victims of abuse. At 35, she has written two Sunday Times bestselling books and has become a leading voice for changes to the way the criminal justice system prosecutes male violence.

One Sunday morning in late 2023, Jessica Taylor was at home trying her
best to relax and forget about it all. She had been the victim of a year-long stalking campaign targeting her livelihood, her family and her sanity. Then an email popped up on Taylor’s phone and the sick taste of fear was back. “Are the doors locked?” she whispered in panic.
Yet Click, Stalk, Destroy is not the latest Netflix series. It is a professional attempt to understand a new form of stalking and a lightly dramatised and anonymised rendering of Taylor’s brutal experience as its victim.
And there’s more: for a professional who has spent her career trying to combat male violence, her persecutors were women. The subtitle of the book is Inside the Minds of People Who Stalk Online and women can be experts at inflicting these new kinds of harm.

People decide to make a living by posting publically everything about themselves - their homes, their daily routine, their meals, what beauty products they buy, what paint they put on their walls, they even monetise their children.

then they are genuinely surprised when people who consume all of this content they’re constantly pumping out start discussing the details

Does anyone know if the women who she claims stalked her were actually women and not men who identify as women?

She is not a clinical psychologist, she has never done clinical work or had patients.

She is a chartered psychologist who has done a PhD. She likes you to think she has worked with hundreds of women who have been abused but she has not provided any kind of mental health treatment.

Absolutely correct. Nor is she qualified to work with clients / patients, nowhere near.

She did GCSEs. Didn't do A Levels. Did an Open University Psychology Degree.
Didn't do a Masters.

Self funded a PhD, which was on the topic of Victim Blaming. (Something she's certainly excelled at recently!).

Her PhD supervisors wanted to kick her off the course because they worried she'd bring the profession into disrepute. According to Jess, this was because she's a working class mum.

I strongly suspect if her supervisors ever spoke out they'd tell a very different story.

Jess Taylor dislikes Tattle because the posters there document all her half-truths and distortions. Not to mention the multiple times she has told people - some of them severely unwell - that psychiatric disorders aren't real, medication is unnecessary and everything they're experiencing is just trauma (which they can conveniently address by buying her workbooks from her online shop).

Very disappointing to see The Times produce such a credulous article about her.

Some of the claims in the article are impossible. Apparently 8 women met up off tattle to plot how to tear her down. Except tattle is anonymous, and has no direct message function. So how did these women find each other?

I strongly suspect she's talking about the 6 women she called the police on.

The majority of whom were ex employees and so knew each other long before they became aware of Tattle (which they became aware of in the same way many on the threads over there, about her do - because she told them about it!)

She's talking out of her arse. Again.
