Something's kicking off again on Laurie's Twitter. Stalking accusations aimed at Alex Wickham.
Yes, how dare he.How dare you criticise anyone else's feminism?
Guido Fawkes of blogging fame.I have no idea who Alex Wickham is. I didn't know who Laurie Penny was before I saw this thread.
That's why I no platformed Nelson Mandela.
Tempted to poke her about NS/NUJ and all that but I can't be bothered. She'd only ignore me anyways.I'm not your unpaid intern,@WikiGuido
Dunno.Is she in the NUJ now?
She's complaining about him allowing comments like this to remain on the site:Something's kicking off again on Laurie's Twitter. Stalking accusations aimed at Alex Wickham.

What you need is a large throbbing organic thing attached to a man slipped into your lady parts to make you understand why you’re a woman… I’m not a misogynist by the way, I love women, I just hate women who think all men are bastards.

confessions of usually involved comedy. The slap to the tickle so to speak
Comments are dumb beyond belief. She might as well let them stay there they're that idiotic.
Yeah, that is the kind of piss-taking that isn't warranted. It is a simple fact that women writers online have to deal with the kind of violent and sexual abuse that is rarely directed at men, and she has had to deal with a lot of it. It's not one sad fuck-up and if you think it is, you have not been paying attention.
This does look to me like attention-seeking, given that the comments are not pre-moderated and haven't been up for long. But there's no need to pretend that there's not actually any problem with violent sexual abuse directed at women online. There is, and it is very well documented. If your cynicism requires a source for that, I'll dig one up for you.

I've said all that myself. I'm just asking that people not stray into trivialising/denying the existence of serious misogynistic abuse directed at female writers in their rush to pour score on Laurie Penny. In much the same way that I'd ask people not stray into trivialising/denying the existence of -isms in their rush to pour score on identity politics.You may have a point but tbh, since she's extended her definition of 'abuse' to cover anything with remotely contravenes what she's said then she's kinda blown her case as far as I can see. Also..a) the two replies immediately beneath take 'anonymous' to task...and b) it's Guido...and taking that as in any way typical is ludicrous...it's a stomping ground for Tory gobshites who never made it out the playground.
Well, if that comment was pre-moderated, he should be ashamed of himself. But then again he is a Tory; they have no shame.
bizarrely he used to do the PR for Sunrise raves in the late 80s. funny lot r/w libertarians. from that to Nigel Farages #1 cheerleader.
i better eta that - according to wiki anyway.

Baby/bathwater etc etc.
Already addressed way back in the thread. Though she did choose to ignore this when it was pointed out to her. She has far more interest in yakking with the scum than she has in answering questions here.I'm just asking that people not stray into trivialising/denying the existence of serious misogynistic abuse directed at female writers in their rush to pour score on Laurie Penny.
She does get loads of genuinely creepy shit from right wing filth tbf.
Yeah I can't actually bring myself to take the piss on twitter for fear of being lumped in with the scum.
Maybe PD should leap to her defence against the common enemy? You know like the Red Army did for us during the war....
i think talking about her should just extend to discussions of her views, identity politics etc being bullshit.
DanU said:some guido comments get moderated, not sure if they have key words or what but i've said a few things, normally about Harry Coles mum or something and it says 'this comment is awaiting moderation' but it pretty much always appears.
they hide behind the 'we don't moderate' thing quite a bit, whoever owns the Guido troll at anyone time sometimes posts a response as well.
