"Gutter press at its very best,sickening and depressing, this is the level newspapers are willing to fall when the real stories are totally ignored, if this is freedom of speech I start to question my support of it " I guess they print it because there are people that gobble it up. Its always an anonymous source, unless these people are willing to put their name to the allegations, they should keep their mouth shut or the journalists should refuse to report it. | |||

" One MP said: ‘She knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks " Ah yes, constantly repeating lies and unable to concentrate when a woman is in front of him demonstrates his Oxford Union debating skills. It just shows that the Tories, along with their friends in the right wing media, only see women as sex objects who offer nothing but using their bodies to leverage sex.

Then again, Tories seem to think anything that opposes their ignorant views is leftism or wokeness. | |||

Low rent, but can’t expect much more from her! While standing behind the despatch box? That's a talent for sure" Thoughts of Kenny Everett spring to mind | |||

"Do you not consider that she didn't take her exams because she was pregnant at 15, not because she was thick ? She shouldn’t be a pregnant child in the first place!!!!! 15yo makes a mistake yet works her way up. Condemn her for life. Grown man sires a number of children and cant do his job because he sees some flesh. Forgive, forgive, forgive. " Post of the day | |||

"When one practices misogyny, it becomes the 'act of misogyny' the 'act' is the determiner. Misogyny can sit as a word in abject silence to it's real world state as a descriptor. Just as a car is just a car (noun) But a car moving is really a car doing. Misogyny being acted upon is misogyny in the 'act of doing'." You have a very unique view of how the English language works. | |||

"Appalling that any woman should be subjected to such blatant sexism 2nd that. Got the Tories rattled if they're stooping this low It was the Mail." This could actually be a triple bluff: 1. Distraction from partygate 2. Opportunity for Johnson to come out and condemn the misogyny and attempt to reclaim some moral highground 3. Buuut it leaves everyone still thinking that Johnson is incapable of focusing on important state business if a pair of pins are on display! So it is still intended to damage Johnson ultimately! | |||

"They could fill it with REAL NEWS instead of salacious lies, gossip and bullshit." They could do that, but then their readers would abandon them. Mail readers like to be outraged, so the editors have to come up with an endless supply of stories that stoke the readers' righteous indignation. Sadly, that's what you get when you have a free press. | |||

" She’s thick as a plank! Do you think this just because she has a northern accent ? Although accent does have a bearing, she left school pregnant at 16 with no qualifications and went into care work. Accent makes you thick ?? Wow.. So Aneurin Bevan with his broad Welsh accent created the welfare state by accident. And yet if we compare your obviously superior brain can you compare your own achievements with her becoming an MP and joining the shadow cabinet, so if she comes to office she will be a government minister? I’m sure you have done so much better. You comments expose more about you and your prejudice than any slur on Angela. It’s perception. And yes, her accent is awful! My private life is private, but I have done far better than her! In fact, a lot of people have!! " It’s ignorance and prejudice actually but you keep believing. I’m sure bu your measure you have done fantastically well. Other measures I’m not so sure. | |||

"Tories accuse Angela Rayner of Basic Instinct ploy to distract Boris:...Newspaper article Im not a voter in The UK but is that the level that certain newspapers think is acceptable and accurate nowadays in political discussions " Distraction and basic misogyny. It's getting pretty desperate if that's where they are. I agree that it may also be cynically enough planned to give BoJo an opportunity to look like a white knight too. Misogyny in is a noun, not a verb. Misogynistic is an adjective. I misoginise You misoginise We misoginise He/she/it misoginises They misiginise I don't think so. | |||

Anyway, I would say without reservation the The Mail and The Mail on Sunday are/were far worse than any of the red top tabloids, inc NotW. At least anyone with a single brain cell knows not to take them too seriously. Sadly many people fo take the Mail seriously which is what makes it do dangerous and insideous! | |||

Describing a newspaper as a rag is hardly rational especially as it is one of the best selling Sunday Newspapers . | |||

"It's a Sunday news paper they have to fill it with something that's it end of. No it isn’t. They could fill it with REAL NEWS instead of salacious lies, gossip and bullshit. It is a hideous rag that too many people actually take seriously.. The Sunday Mail have a circulation of 767, 000 copies . Do you actually read the Sunday Mail or have you just formed your opinion based on heresay. ? I do not think that those whose choose to buy the Sunday Mail would regard it as a rag nor would those newsagents who sell it . It has many award winning journalists. Whilst everyone is entitled to an opinion your description of it as a rag is only held by a very small proportion of the population . It would be a bit of a stretch to conclude that there are 767000 stupid readers . These are people who actually pay to read it. Angela Rayner is hardly even worth discussing . She considers it acceptable to call people scum which is an appalling reflection on her as an individual . Not exactly a very nice person or a desirable attribute to have Comedy Gold My work requires me to read and be familiar with all major news outlets in the UK including The Mail so sadly I do have to read it. What this means is I have a broad exposure to wide ranging views from across the political spectrum. The Mail is an insidious salacious rag that tries to hide behind a veneer of being a serious newspaper. It isn’t. The Mail has been sued on multiple occasions and been found to have lied on numerous times and caused immeasurable damage to innocent people’s lives as a result. And yeah, I do think the majority of people who buy that rag to be either stupid or have questionable morals themselves. " Fucking hell. It’s just a newspaper. | |||

" So are you basically saying that for the purpose of this debate you have insufficient life experience to define what a women is? Whilst it may be obvious to most, it maybe unfair of us to assume that you’re familiar enough with the female of the species to draw your own conclusion for the purpose of the OP. Well, ignore the precise definition for a moment. Just work on the basis that approx. half of the global population falls within the definition (which can be broad dependant on point if view - but we’re not going there despite attempts to derail this thread in that direction). So misogyny is an attitude or if you apply sole clever grammar an act of displaying hatred towards half the global population. Now is that in your book a good or a bad thing? | |||

If you cannot define what a woman is, then logically, you cannot define what societal impact misogyny has on a woman you can have no basic knowledge of the root causes, or their eradication. You twist and you turn, but you're still incapable or unwilling to define what a woman is and that helps nobody, especially women. So are you basically saying that for the purpose of this debate you have insufficient life experience to define what a women is? Whilst it may be obvious to most, it maybe unfair of us to assume that you’re familiar enough with the female of the species to draw your own conclusion for the purpose of the OP. Well, ignore the precise definition for a moment. Just work on the basis that approx. half of the global population falls within the definition (which can be broad dependant on point if view - but we’re not going there despite attempts to derail this thread in that direction). So misogyny is an attitude or if you apply sole clever grammar an act of displaying hatred towards half the global population. Now is that in your book a good or a bad thing? " Okay, I think I’ve successfully translated this post. Your first paragraph is utter nonsense, I have said no such thing so I will ignore it. Your second sentence says essentially the same thing, but you have expanded it enough to make it into a very clumsily worded passive aggressive insult. I will ignore this too, but I won’t report you. Then this part:- “Well, ignore the precise definition for a moment.” Nobody had the courage to give the precise definition, unsurprisingly. So let’s get to the only part that makes any sense:- “misogyny is an attitude or if you apply sole clever grammar an act of displaying hatred towards half the global population. Now is that in your book a good or a bad thing?” Well, of course it’s a “bad thing”. But it’s a “bad thing” in all its forms and usages. Take a look at some of the posts above. There are misogynist comments about Nadine Dorries (as well as questioning her mental state), Theresa May, even Margaret Thatcher. There are also misandrist comments about Rees-Mogg. Are these acceptable just because they’re Tories? It seems so, because nobody has called them out. Admit it, the OP is not about misogyny, it’s about sticking one to Bojo. I don’t disagree with sticking the boot in to Bojo, he deserves it, but if it’s done in this way, it just makes most of the above posters hypocrites and belittles the plight of those who suffer from either misogyny or misandry. Neither are acceptable, ever. | |||

"'PM sent Angela Rayner personal message over Mail on Sunday article Sky's political correspondent Tamara Cohen has been told Boris Johnson sent Angela Rayner a "short but heartfelt" Whatsapp message yesterday after she hit out at "sexist" and "misogynistic" reporting about her in the Mail on Sunday. It is understood he posted a tweet in support of Labour's deputy leader shortly afterwards. An ally of the prime minister told Tamara that Boris Johnson is very clear in his view on "these kinds of attitudes" - having seen his wife Carrie branded "Princess Nut Nut" in comments leaked to the media in 2020.' SkyNews." So lets give Boris the benefit of the doubt. He seems to have been supportive so far. If he follows through and launches an investigation into the source and starts to tackle the root cause , then we’ll know he’s indeed sincere. If nothing practical and real happens beyond mere words of sympathy then we can conclude he’s really ok with what happened. Time will tell. People will be watching. | |||

Because regardless of misogyny, it isn’t a good look that the PM couldn’t maintain attention on important matters of state if a female of the species uncrossed her legs, I mean God forbid a woman actually, you know, moves! Actually think the knives are out for Johnson within the Tory party and this was in fact an attempt to make him look bad. Angela Rayner was just collateral damage. | |||

It took ages for anyone to mention Boris outside of the idea he was easily distracted by legs (which is what the article is about) But it sounds like we agree that the subject of article was not acceptable. I would hope you'd agree that it is not acceptable for an MP to make such comments to the Mail, particularly if they aren't even prepared to put their name to it. And I'd hope you'd be supportive of a PM taking steps to this out of his party. | |||

"If he follows through and launches an investigation into the source ..." What source? This was The Sunday Mail, the story was entirely made up. | |||
