Understand the UK is actually very hot. But Copenhagen has an orange severe weather warning and max today is 27 degrees! Seems a bit excessive
Just heard another ad for better help where someone recommended it "if you are looking to get into therapy this year" as if it was a hobby
I’m very happy to be able to announce that the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Law has rescheduled my lecture on Freedom of Expression in the Sex and Gender Debate.
Far from needing to "talk more" about mental health, it's a problem that actually gets worse the more we talk about it. My latest for @compactmag 👇 compactmag.com/article/stop-t…
I love the hoops Labour people jump through to justify appointing yet another white man. 'Yes, the Tories have had four female leaders, but they were psychologically pressured to act like men, so in a very real way Andy will actually be more female than they were...'
The River Roding story is a snapshot of a country with the official fastidiousness of a highly developed, rich nation - but the practical capabilities of a far poorer one. It is a miserable combination. My column for Critic subscribers this week. thecritic.co.uk/regulations-wi…
Feminism is preferring Austen’s heroines before their heroine’s journey
A major point of the books in that Marianne needs to be agreeable to people who aren't as interesting or clever as she is. Being polite to people is a virtue.
Has any public policy report ever concluded that 'one size fits all'?
Related also to the new trend of even amateur athletes measuring heart rate, sleep schedule etc to optimise their training, but forgetting to check how they feel
I quote a coach, asked about whether in the future kids will be put on teams based on their genomes. He said, wisely, I have a better idea: let's let them run and see who's fastest.
@D__Melb I plead special circumstances. By-elections aren’t generally held in order to topple the PM (and they couldn’t even find a challenger already in parliament!)
This whole photo shoot is so weird. Aren’t they at all embarrassed that it came to this? Is it just that careerism is fine now? Or do they actually think of themselves as that separate to Starmer?
I don’t think they’ve considered, for a second, how disconnected from the electorate this little tableaux is - complete with the Chancellor in shot, vying for a job no doubt. It’s also, classless, only a few hours after their leader and PM fell on his sword. This won’t end
There is something so unbelievably dull about the "women have been brainwashed by feminism into not wanting babies" camp of anti-feminism. And it destroys the dialectic to assume your opponents are deluded.
Really enjoyed writing this one!
“Watching their fierce exchanges, it is clear that this fire is missing from the modern war of the sexes.” .@fbasboll enjoys revisiting the clash between Norman Mailer and Germaine Greer thecritic.co.uk/sex-wars-what-…
@Jens_Denmark @KatrineDaugaard @aswren Hvis du ved hvor tallet kommer fra, kan du vel også forstå at jeg mener det ikke bør videregives i danske medier som om en ny rapport er kommet frem til det? Jeg mener bare, at det ikke kun er folk, der prøvede at begrave sagen, der mener at denne rapport er problematisk.
@Jens_Denmark @KatrineDaugaard Det synes jeg heller ikke er optimalt. Men der er mange der arbejder seriøst og konkret med forslag og politik på området - uden at sjuske og bruge tvivlsomme tal. Dette mener jeg kun sætter sagen tilbage. Nedenståene fra @aswren:
Flag of Greenland still flying at Kronborg 🇬🇱 🇩🇰🫡
“The only thing worse than someone proving you wrong is someone not respecting you enough to try.” 🦊|✒️| @fbasboll thecritic.co.uk/sex-wars-what-…
“If you wish me to act the clown, I will take out my modest Jewish dick & put it on the table. You can all spit at it & laugh at it, & then I’ll walk away & you’ll find it was just a dildo I left there. I hadn’t shown the real one.” @fbasboll on Norman Mailer & Town Bloody Hall:
I wrote for @TheCriticMag about feminism’s greatest intellectual showdown, Norman Mailer, and whether the sex wars are really so bad.
