Students outraged, onlookers concerned, words exchanged.

AN urgent investigation is underway at Durham University after students walked out of an event at which controversial journalist Rod Liddle was a guest speaker – and were later branded “pathetic” by a college principal.

Well, Rod Liddle – he lives to irritate people. Making a fuss just amplifies him.

This is the bit that interests me:

Durham’s Intersectional Feminist Society launched an open letter condemning Liddle’s remarks and the decision to invite him.

Durham’s what?

Does Durham have other “intersectional” societies or is it just women who are expected to be inclooosive and to enforce that inclooosivity on each other?

The society doesn’t seem to have its own website or space on Durham’s website but it does have a Facebook page.

Durham Intersectional Feminism Society is an inclusive feminist society, with a focus on providing a safe space for discussion, socialising, activism, self-care and education. We welcome people of all genders, religions, races, abilities and experiences to come to our meetings and talks, and get involved with campaigns.

So it’s not a feminist society but a chat about stuff society.

I wonder if Durham has an actual feminist society.
