That's just asking for a photoshop.

Instead of 'Unspeakable things' it needs to be 'Why we can't have nice things'

And instead of:

Sex
lies
and
revolution

it should be:

like
a
relolution

(edit: that should be revolution at the end but I'm not changing it cos I just accidentally invented the word relolution, which is the kind of revolution people like laurie, who are impossible to take seriously and inspire more lols among the ruling class than they do fear, would like to see. or something)

On my Facebook one friend has posted a lee rigby string em up post, another a post approving of a child molester (although the molester is a female teacher and the child a teenage boy).

This is a book about speech and the silencing of speech; about who gets to speak and who does not; about who is listened to and who is ignored. In this down-to-earth analysis of the democratic principle of freedom of speech, Betty McLellan insists that, if this prized democratic principle is to have any continuing credibility, free speech must be free for all.

Written from the perspective of feminist ethics, Unspeakable focuses on how women are silenced in every nation on earth: through violence, subordination and exclusion. The author's hope is that radical feminism will continue to be a “feminism of dissent” and that radical, political feminists will continue speaking against the silence.

I wonder if the similarities stop at the title.

you don't suspect that laurie penny might be the feminist equivalent of johann hari, the renowned plagiarist?

It could easily just be laziness or a lack of imagination at play here, but given her well documented propensity to make shit up and lie, compounded by a somewhat prurient pursuit of approval and fame, who knows.

No, he was a much better writer

Sex, lies and revolution? Hasn't everyone learned yet that anyone who claims to have an informed opinion on everything is a complete bullshitter?

 

[revol68]

similar, no?

You think that's bad, just look at how lazy Penguin published authors can be.
