A good article. Didn't really bash Assange too much, but those who support him like Galloway who are misogynist dinosaurs.

A really good article - it's time women were able to speak up for their own cause on their own terms not always subordinating ourselves to some supposed greater good - we are not an optional extra - not even a minority. We are part of the solution at every stage not a secondary optional bonus that comes later.

This makes me so angry. As a child of the 70's, I was expected to be grateful to have a female prime minister, and therefore to shut up about women's rights. It took me most of those 18 years to realise that Milk-Snatcher was only allowed the power that she had because she behaved with the cruelty and aggression of an alpha-male, and went to great lengths to sanitise her femaleness. She betrayed us all by exploiting our hope and trust, and she destroyed silly female ideas like "society" and "community". The macho harm she did to the most vulnerable in our country is unforgivable. Did I have the right to expect better from a female? I think I did. As a feminist, I *will* be celebrating her death. But then I will also be celebrating the death of Blair and Cameron too, who are equally misogynist, even if less visibly so because of their gender. Oh, and as a raped woman myself, I support Julian Assange. He's offered to answer questions and been rebuffed. The only thing he's trying to avoid is Guantanamo-Bay-style torture in the USA like Bradley Manning is getting. Feminists should be opposing the abuse of rape-claims by the USA, because it undermines the victims.
