tell me, would you read an article by a staunch feminist? or a raving lesbian

Hmmm...how does this fit in with anything I said? To the best of my knowledge *Sampson told Aluko not to bring Ebola to the country*, some posters on this board have said Matthew Syed was a mouthpiece for Sampson against Aluko, something I wasn't aware of and which disgusts me.

Would I read an article by a staunch feminist? or a raving lesbian?

That would depend entirely on what they were writing/raving about. For example, if they were calling for land to be confiscated and a return to the feudal rule of William the Conqueror or that all women become lesbians then I would probably not make a habit of reading their articles. The fact they were feminist/lesbian would be immaterial to me. What I choose to read is not determined by a writer's gender/race/sexual orientation/religion etc, the thought of doing that actually offends me.

* as reported by The Guardian.
 
Now there’s a blog I would be interested in reading.

Jokes aside, no person that fits those descriptions is by default in the same moral low ground as a misogynist or bigot, so I would be more inclined to read their work.

They are just impassioned advocates of the rights of (and certain methods of protecting) a group of people, which is not the same as a person advocating (openly or through continued subtext) for discrimination or mistreatment of a group of people.

There are many a “journalist” that fit into the bigoted group that I avoid as much as possible as I do not want to give any encouragement (clicks, ad revenue, or otherwise) to their brand of discourse.


Just seen your post, SebastianBlue. Thanks for saying it better than I ever could have.
 
Fuck them all. In a few years one of the Internet giants will snaffle up the tv deal and there'll drawing universal credit.
