The app for independent voices
Janice, thanks for another stellar piece. I'd just like to pick up on your final words:
"Feminists have long wanted an excuse to outlaw all criticism of feminism and women. With the incel terrorism designation, they’ve advanced a step closer to that goal."
Spot on! I was reminded of a substantial blog piece we published four weeks ago on a matter in Scotland, titled, "The Scottish government’s CONsultation on reforming the criminal law to address misogyny":
An extract from the report of the Scottish government’s Working Group on Misogyny, along with our comments (in square brackets):
“... often this stirring up of hatred presents as being hatred of a particular type of woman – a noisy woman, a successful woman, an opinionated woman. But the crime is about female identity. It is no defence to say “I only hate certain kinds of woman – feminists, fat women or unfeminine women…” [J4MB: This is priceless, and of course most feminists are fat and unfeminine too. But since when was it a crime to hate people of different political persuasions to yourself? I’m reminded of the quotation usually wrongly attributed to Voltaire, “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”]
