I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.
For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)
I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.
Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.
However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.
As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’
Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

On behalf of my incredible team at @Trump, it is a great honor to host the @IrishOpen_ at @TrumpDoonbeg. There is no more spectacular venue anywhere in Ireland or beyond and the field of players is second to none. It’s going to be an amazing weekend!
The High Sparrow of Irish hacks hates Trump?
Fine. It's not exactly original but this is the @IrishTimes after all.
But comparing Trump to the 9/11 hijackers, on the eve of the anniversary, is genuinely pathetic.
That's the kind of shit that mad people with purple hair say.
Channel 4 came looking for a scandal. They didn’t expect me to investigate THEM.
I’ve gone through their allegations one by one: the sources, the fundraising, the money trail, the recordings, the witnesses and the evidence they conveniently left out.
They wanted to put me on trial in front of the British public, so I brought the receipts.
THE DISPATCHES DECEPTION:
Watch it. Share it everywhere. Then decide for yourself who’s telling the truth!
Rape has a permanent effect on a woman's mental health. Many never rally recover from the experience
Several women have told me exactly this.
It hardly an exaggeration to call it psychic murder
BREAKING: A security guard has barred teacher Enoch Burke from entering school this morning
He is blocked from his place of work after he refused to call a young child “they” and affirm transgenderism, an anti-Christian ideology upheld by church, state, and government.
Transgenderism is being forced on children, silently and subversively, in classrooms all across Ireland.
The security guard at the gates of Wilson’s Hospital School is another cog in the wheel of judges, school principals, boards of management and Church leaders and patrons who are working together to destroy the basic religious freedoms of our civilisation.
‼️ UPDATE: Irishman placed under judicial supervision after death threats [Translated to English by AI]
A man in his sixties was arrested Wednesday in Avignon, Vaucluse, after being filmed threatening to kill a Jewish Australian tourist couple. The video had been widely shared on social media.
An Irishman in his sixties, suspected of making antisemitic threats against a Jewish Australian tourist couple in Avignon, in the Vaucluse region, was arrested in the City of Popes on Wednesday and placed under judicial supervision on Thursday.
"Aged 60, of Irish nationality, with no known criminal record, the person in question admitted the facts while putting them into context. He stated that he regretted his remarks, explaining that he had been carried away by anger," according to the public prosecutor of Avignon, Stéphanie Aouine.
The man was brought before a judge for a formal hearing on charges of making conditional death threats and condoning crimes against humanity. He was placed under judicial supervision pending his appearance before the Avignon criminal court next October.
"Antisemitism must be fought firmly and relentlessly," Nuñez reminds us.
In mid-August, a video, widely circulated on social media, showed a man facing the camera explicitly making a death threat. The Minister of Trade and Tourism, Serge Papin, and the Minister for Gender
Equality and the Fight against Discrimination, Aurore Bergé, then condemned "in the strongest possible terms" these "antisemitic threats" targeting the tourists.
On Wednesday, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez praised the work of the police on social media, recalling that "antisemitism must be fought firmly and relentlessly."

This is absolutely it. The Irish are no more antisemitic than any other group of people but @kevinbakhurst is either an antisemite himself or has no control over RTE's activist staff.
It has come to my notice (I'm a continent away) that Nicola Sturgeon has again claimed I'm obsessed with her. This is, of course, true. I hereby repost my adoring review of her magnum opus, in which I attempted to convey the full magnificence of La Sturge.
