    I swear to God most of the threads on this forum these days are about identity politics b*llocks; something that rarely comes up in discussion amongst normal people in real life.

    I'll do my best to start a thread on something I'd discuss with my mates tomorrow. Probably get like three replies though!

    First they came for the socialists...

    Is this the same woman that made false rape claims about a guy she regretted sleeping with in callage

    'College'

    I think it was after that tho. As in later on in life.

    She then followed it up with 'I still wouldn't report my rapist'...
    So why write about it then?

    Sounded like regret, not rape.

    So she obviously includes her father, grandfathers and brother in this. At least that would explain her pathological hatred of men. If she has kids I hope they aren't male......she'd be raising a sexual predator :rolleyes:

    I don't think so, I really believe that she wanted to write something topical and controversial but didn't think too far ahead.

    We all do sh*t like that in fairness.

    I think she needs a good all fashioned rogering, with expressed written consent of course.

    Twenty years later she would say that although she had given written consent in her mind she hadn't really and now you are a rapist....

    Oh I know, we get a bloody thread here about it when she does.

    But, how many tweets does she rattle out that don't merit a thread?

    Dono. Personally I think she should be called out for her crap at every opportunity. Replace the word men with any other sector of society and it's hate speech. But at the same time she loves being talked about, so there's that.

    No, we don't. I'd say 99.99% of folks here haven't posted anything along the lines of #shewasaskingforit or other such sh1te and then pretended it was a joke.

    She literally justified the tweet after, no mention of her joking in those protestations.

    While I don,t use the term " hatespeech " I get your point, instead of " Yesallmen " replace men with lets say for sake of argument Muslims with a  " Yesallmuslims" post/tweet-  hypothetically speaking  imagine after a terrorist attack in Europe if a public figure with a big social media following were to post or tweet the following " Yesallmuslims " kinda similar to Rosemary saying " Yesallmen " , but I think we know if someone were to say " Yesallmuslims " there would be a much different reaction .

    Well Twitter is a different ball game, and as far as I know she has built up quite the following so there is way more exposure for one tweet as opposed to one post here.

    With her 'presence' comes some responsibility, similarly to that youtuber Logan Paul. She has to know how to use twitter now and be think ahead before tweeting.

    I wonder about her mental health, tbh. She used to work as an editor for a fashion mag, then 'quit' to be a blogger and social media influencer. Well, that don't pay the bills, especially when you block folks like the radio station she got into a spat with. (Equally as snowflakey).
    Now she works in a gym.

    She's very unstable.

    As unlikeable as the girl is, I don't see how it's possible to diagnose her level of stability on the basis of some unpopular tweets or her interpretation of an unpleasant sexual encounter.

    I'm seeing this too often in AH, people diagnosing someone they completely disagree with as mentally ill or unstable, on the basis of comments on a social media site.

    Its not based on one post, its based on numerous articles and posts shes written. She's done quite a bit of bizarre things.

    Perhaps, but deciding who and who isn't stable or mentally ill is best left to the professionals.

    It's not particularly helpful to anyone for casual online commentators to proclaim on the mental state of anyone else on the basis of tweets.

    Why would anyone take this person seriously?She's down somewhere as an "internet influencer" and a "blogger", so her advice on which kind of knickers to wear would probably be sound enough, but as for gender relations and real life, forget it.

    (Incidentally, thongs now appear to be out, and big pants are back....I read that in a blog.]

    i think men (I'm a man) could take the current moment as an opportunity to look at their own actions and assumptions when it comes to the opposite sex. i think a lot of the people getting enraged at mccabe, if they really thought about it and examined their own history, could think of occasions where their behaviour made a woman uncomfortable. it doesn't have to be an assault to qualify as that. and i'm no big fan of mccabe, but that's irrelevant.

    Butting in. Not agreeing with herself but with all the stuff coming out against hollywood I'm reaching a point where I think "Jesus, who's left that hasn't been accused".

    So IF she was joking, I'd agree with her. I however am not psychic and she's not in anyway worth spending any more time on.
