In the Telegraph reporting on the Guardian news, the T reports that the G sports reporter Jonathan Liew is fashionably indifferent to the needs and concerns of women.
JK Rowling has branded the Guardian’s chief sports writer a “progressive misogynist” with “disdain for women’s sport” after he dismissed concerns that transgender women could compete in Parkrun’s female category.
Jonathan Liew, who has written for the newspaper since 2019, labelled concerns raised by womens’ groups a “sinister campaign” which had been amplified by “useful idiots in the media”.
Women have always been seen as “sinister” by men who hate us. You just never know when a woman might find a man asleep and seize the opportunity to cut his balls off.
Concerns over Parkrun emerged after a think tank report found that it records the self-identified gender of its participants, not their sex. The Policy Exchange research found that at least three Parkrun female records were held by biological men as a result of its policy of allowing entrants to self-identify their gender.
The report – backed by Olympic medallists Sharron Davies and Daley Thompson and tennis player Martina Navratilova – warned that female athletes risked being alienated unless grassroots sports could provide fair and safe play.
No, the issue is that Parkrun risks alienating female athletes. It’s not the women who are doing something risky here, it’s the people who are so astoundingly eager to ruin women’s sports in every area they can reach.

Heh…
The people of Israel sang her praises
These biological males who hold records in women’s categories are NOT underdogs, despite the trans-advocate hype machine — they are selfish ringers who don’t give a rat about anyone but themselves. You’d think a ‘chief sports writer’ like Liew would be able to see the difference. Maybe he only identifies as competent enough for his job…

I was recently listening to a history podcast about the Taiping rebellion.

Near the end, an incident was mentioned in which a soldier took a young woman captive to be his unwilling wife. I think he had helped kill her family. He & she were in a room in an inn on the way to his home. She killed him while he was sleeping and then wrote a note telling her story and hung herself.
Not forgetting the uplifting story of Lorena and John Bobbitt.

That reminds me of Patti Smith’s lyric in Horses:
Ah, but the Judges poet failed to give us Sisera’s dying vision.
Wonderful turn of phrase. Deserves much quoting.
Aw shucks.
