No, @Clementine_Ford, Men Don’t Hate Women, But They Definitely Hate You

“Like most feminists, I have often been told that I hate men. I’m no longer interested in denying that claim.”
Clementine Ford, May 2015

Last year, it was reported that the birth rate in Australia had fallen to a 10-year low, and the discouraging demographic situation Down Under has merited the attention of the Australian national government. Perhaps officials should note that this decline has coincided with the career ascent of Australia’s leading professional baby-hater, Clementine Ford:

Clementine Ford’s vehement hatred of babies (or, as she would say, the “clump of unwanted cells,” which has no value whatsoever) is enough to make me glad that she’s 10,000 miles away, so that I don’t have to worry about her sneaking around trying to kill any of my children. Checking the headlines in Australia, I found two cases of babies being murdered this year — one in Melbourne and one in Geraldton — but in both of those cases, the mother was charged. However, if there are any unsolved baby murders in Australia, the police should check Clementine Ford’s alibi.

Notoriously merciless in her hatred toward children, Clementine Ford also has nothing but contempt for the male half of the human race:

My name is Clementine Ford and I’m a writer, speaker and professionally angry person living in Melbourne. . . .
I’m not interested in placating men about their intentions or feminist credentials. . . .
I don’t speak or write about feminism in order to convince men or sway them to my point of view. I do it because I want to let other women know that it’s okay to speak up and to be angry and to tell the truth about their lives. Also, women are f–king funny and rad and I want to hear more from them and less from men.

She has no interest in “placating” any male, nor does she seek to persuade males, but only to incite women to hate males as much as she does, and she never wants to hear anything a male has to say about it. Also, she cannot seem to fathom why she is so unpopular with men:

In the fifteen or so years that I’ve been actively feministing, I’ve never tired of being asked whether or not I hate men. . . . If I could summarise my experience of the anti-feminist backlash into one tedious, repetitive interaction, it would be thus: “Do you hate men? Wait, let me rephrase that. Why do you hate men?”

(Pause, reader, to reflect on why men might not enjoy being constantly insulted and belittled by a “professionally angry person” whose entire career consists of insulting and belittling men. She gets paid to portray men generally as being ignorant monsters, then dismisses all criticism of her anti-male hate rhetoric as “backlash.”)

Although my care factor for whether or not men think I hate them hovers somewhere just below zero . . . the blatant lack of self-awareness on display when this question is asked . . . still manages to astonish me. . . .

(Men are not only ignorant monsters, but they lack self-awareness, and blatantly so. So she insults you, and if you object to her insult, this proves you’re too stupid to understand her point.)

Do feminists hate men? When you consider the level of hostility women are subjected to just for standing up for ourselves, surely the better query is why do so many men seem to hate women so fiercely, so aggressively, so violently and so passionately? . . .

(You see? The feminist insults you, and considers your objection to her insult to be evidence that you “hate women so fiercely,” etc. In other words, no man is allowed to disagree with her. Shut up, you ignorant male worm, while Clementine Ford insults you some more.)

Instead of berating feminists for being misandrists, perhaps these men should start taking responsibility for the abominable, destructive and dehumanising treatment of women throughout all of history up to and including the present day.
Because here’s the thing: at a broad sweep, men have given us countless reasons to hate them. They have certainly provided ample evidence of their hatred for us, and the violence they inflict has more physical, cultural and economic power behind it than women subjugated by a patriarchal system could ever hope to replicate.

You see, you ignorant male worm — yes, you there, so despicable and lowly as to be unworthy of Clementine Ford’s notice — that you are responsible for the “abominable . . treatment of women” not only during your own worthless life, but “throughout all of history.” Clementine Ford gets paid to blame you personally for all those “women subjugated by a patriarchal system” as a consequence of the “physical, cultural and economic power” you possess, merely because you are male.

It’s rather strange that Clementine Ford, “subjugated by a patriarchal system” as she is, gets paid by the publisher Allen & Unwin, a firm founded more than a century ago by Sir Stanley Unwin, which is a division of the publishing conglomerate Harper Collins which, in turn, is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s $15 billion global communications empire NewsCorp. Rather than being “subjugated” by male-owned corporate media, instead Clementine Ford is being subsidized by these powerful men.

What does Clementine Ford think of Allen & Unwin chairman Patrick Gallagher? What is her opinion of Allen & Unwin CEO Robert Gorman? Are her publishing bosses also guilty of “abominable, destructive and dehumanising treatment of women” as she insists men generally are?

Well, while Clementine Ford is gloating about “male tears,” there is more serious reason for concern. In a recent Facebook post, Clementine Ford claimed to be in possession of “a tiny human,” although how this was to be distinguished from a “clump of unwanted cells,” she did not specify.

No one has yet been able to confirm this report, but it is alleged that Australia’s leading professional baby-hater, Clementine Ford, has somehow gotten her hands on an actual living baby.

 

Was this a kidnapping? Did she (or perhaps a lesbian partner) get artificially inseminated? We don’t know, but it’s been nearly six weeks since that rumor was reported, and she’s probably killed it by now.

Thank God I live in America, and Clementine Ford is 10,000 miles away.
