Was that deliberate?

Ha ha, well spotted. I've rephrased.

No, the bit I spotted was "You don't drive down a one-way street in the same direction".

Surely that should be "the opposite direction"??

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ah, sorry, I thought you were objecting to me talking about Falkner "going hard". Apologies for interpreting you at my level.

He's got a point that some people have gone mad after becoming very gender critical, like Sharon Davies. I don't know if that's true of Hadley Freeman.

Well she’s now decided ADHD is made up, so disappointingly seems to be going full Hitchens minor.

Doesn't change that what Maugham said was sexist. According to Maugham, Freeman should have stuck to writing about warm, fluffy things and not trans stuff or writing a book about anorexia.

[Crabcakes]

I didn’t say that it did. But as Tubby said, he had a point. One that seems increasingly valid re: Freeman. She didn’t deserve to be patronised, but people with ADHD certainly don’t either.

[The Weeping Angel]

That isn't a sign she's gone mad.

[Crabcakes]

That isn't a sign she's gone mad.

Ok, agreed she’s not mad in the literal “has gone insane” sense. She’s just decided writing ragebait horseshit for right-wing rags for coins is a winner.

Personally I think being labelled as mad might be preferable.
