CLEMENTINE FORD AND THE BETRAYAL OF FEMINISM
Feminism once demanded women receive equal treatment. Now it demands women receive special protection. Take Clementine Ford, “Australia’s most prominent contemporary feminist”. On Saturday she complained “coronavirus isn’t killing men fast enough”. But she's been outraged by the "verbal assaults" of Alan Jones against Jacinda Ardern.
Clementine Ford is called “Australia’s most prominent contemporary feminist”. What stunning proof that feminism has betrayed itself.
This movement once demanded women receive equal treatment. Now it demands women receive special protection, as if they’re as fragile as sexists always claimed.
Take Ford. She’s the kind of feminist who’s tweeted “kill all men”, and on Saturday complained that “coronavirus isn’t killing men fast enough”.
This brand of feminism now attracts official support. Ford last year got a gig on the ABC, and Melbourne City Council this month gave her a grant to write another book.
But check out the double standards.
Last year, Ford joined another public lynching by the Left of Alan Jones, after he said he was sick of the global warming idiocy of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and wanted a sock stuffed “down her throat”. This was too much for the suddenly delicate sensibilities of Ford, who said she deplored such “verbal assaults” which were “sexist” and an affront to “human dignity”.
