Twitter is amused, I am not

The UK Justice Secretary on the BBC this morning said this:

“Misogyny is absolutely wrong, whether it’s a man against a woman, or a woman against a man”

Much mocking of the hideous human who has been foisted on us by little englanders has ensued, but this is not funny, and he did not say this in error. This is the Deputy PM and Justice Secretary. In a world of systematic misogyny, the chap in charge of the reform of the justice system is doing whataboutery. It is the equivalent to the #NotAllMen crowd. It is on purpose. It is sending a message to the women and girls of the UK that their very valid fears and concerns matter not one jot to the men in charge. He has trivialised the lived experience of millions of women and this is the exact message he intended to send. Twitter saying he is an idiot, and mocking his stupidity, allows the patriarchy to do what it does best, again. Nothing funny about that.
