The Huffington Post has found out that hard way that speaking on behalf of one half of the human population isn’t a simple task.
Yesterday, the Huffington Post waded into the row over Twitter’s cataclysmic de-verification of Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos. The famously left-wing site ran an article bearing the title “Thank You Twitter – By Unverifying Milo Yiannopoulos, You Are Standing Up For Women Online.”
In the tediously common manner of the identity-obsessed left, the author, Jessie Thompson, presumes to speak on behalf of all women. Thomspon welcomed Twitter’s punishment, arguing that the internet was a “cesspit of misogyny,” and a “scary place to be a woman.” Anticipating severe cyberviolence from Yiannopoulos’ followers Thomspon concludes the piece by announcing she is going to “make a cup of tea before they pile in.”
The trouble with speaking on behalf of half the human population, of course, is that not all of them will be inclined to agree with your opinion. Especially if it’s a quintessential example of fainting-couch feminism.

@jowilliams293 @Nero The blue ticks can talk to each other in a small echo chamber and rest of the world can get on with debate elsewhere.

@HuffPostUK @twitter @jessiecath verifying is to establish authenticity…are they now saying he's not who he says he is?

@HuffPostUK @twitter And as a woman @jessiecath you don't speak for me. I don't identify with you simply because we have the same genitals.

@HuffPostUK @twitter @jessiecath No, women need freedom of speech. #jesuitmilo Suppressing speech suppresses women. Free women are strong.

@jessiecath As a feminist, I am APPALLED at this "victory". This has changed nothing – all it does is LOOK like something's been done.
