Feminist. Author of Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-aged Women and Unkind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenched Sexism. Totally cheery apart from all that.
The image of frivolous women who've been "radicalised" (because they're too spoilt, passive and stupid to have their own politics) reminds me of how men spoke of feminists when I was growing up. Also of anti-suffragette propaganda. Laughable to be so sexist then call for a focus on "real issues"

I had the privilege of speaking to Julie Bindel about some of the themes (surrogacy, sexual exploitation, raising boys - *not* "why women should be mean to everyone") www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...
How the ‘Be Kind’ brigade exposed their hypocrisy
The ‘just be nice to everyone’ narrative hides an uncomfortable truth – that women must be careful not to say the wrong thing

It's not as if they'd be exploiting women, just people with uterus owning privilege. Punching up, when you think about it.
