Quote by Julie Burchill

“Generally, once men have said that they are feminists, they feel free to behave in whatever scummy manner they see fit towards women. The reason I loathe virtue-signalling so much is not because I'm against people bigging themselves up [...] but because boasting only makes sense when it's about something you do well. People who do nothing worth talking about will invariably boast about the way they are; their virtue-signalling is not a prelude to virtue but rather a substitute for it. In fact in can encourage them to behave even worse than they would otherwise; one thinks of those men working for charities who will happily head into a disaster zone and make whores of the poverty stricken female population.”

“Wokeness is King Midas in reverse, tarnishing any noble cause it touches, but on no body of struggle has is left as many filthy finger marks in inappropriate places as on feminism. With smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand worthy of a wicked misogynist magician, it has midwifed a monstrous creature, a fauxminism which is centred solely around the stations of the hallowed penis.”

“Whenever the rights of women clash with the rights of others, those in power seem extraordinarily keen on letting the side who aren't women win - and their attitudes seem creepily in accord with those of the woke bros. For example, the British police force - PC Plod has been born again as PC PC - seem far more interested in bothering people for online "misgendering" than they do investigating threats by blokes in brassieres to rape TERFs.”

“I sometimes wonder if we can truthfully call sex offenders fully human; of course they are biologically, but when ones own sexual satisfaction has become the governing principle to the extent that other people are only meat-puppets which act as objects to facilitate it, surely they lose that intangible yet recognisable quality we call "humanity" - the stranger who runs towards danger to help someone they have never met or who queues up in the rain to give a vital part of their body to some poor soul lacking a vital part.”

“I can't help but think of a particularly vicious parody of Shakespeare's Seven Ages of Man. First, she is an aborted female foetus, then a cyber bullied schoolgirl, then a raped and trafficked victim of a grooming gang, then a adjudged predatory Lolita responsible for her own molestation by some dirty old man. And that's just before she's old enough to vote. In young adult life, at the height of her beauty, she will groped, grabbed and molested in the street as she goes about her daily business, Seeking refuge from this, she may put herself under the protection of one man through marriage or cohabitation. If he doesn't kill her, she will lose her beauty and become the despised battle axe butt of a million mother in law jokes until she will be an unwanted older woman dying for a drink of water on an NHS hospital ward. Considering that life under the patriarchy can be such a slog, it's a feat of evil genius and the throat-choking cherry on the cake that the 50 Shades of Grey franchise managed to beautify male bullying of women and sell it back to them in their millions as exciting erotica.”

“What pornography has done is to make life far harder for those women in the front line of sexual servitude in that men now expect prostitutes - not just *civilian* women - to act like porn stars. The repulsive reviews of punters on various online forums bear this out as women are rebuked most often for "staying still" and "looking sad" rather than pretending to enjoy being penetrated by strangers as porn performers do.”
