Nothing new under the sun
The public shaming of women is nothing new, just as lynching is nothing new, torture is nothing new, misogyny is nothing new, brutality and sadism are nothing new. We know that already. We don’t need the Jeremy Clarksons of the world to remind us, let alone instruct us.
French women after the liberation for example:
The victims were among the most vulnerable members of the community: Women. Accused of “horizontal collaboration” — sleeping with the enemy — they were targeted by vigilantes and publicly humiliated. Their heads were shaved, they were stripped half-naked, smeared with tar, paraded through towns and taunted, stoned, kicked, beaten, spat upon and sometimes even killed.
Exactly like some jumped up UK sadist whose initials are Jeremy Clarkson wants to be done to Meghan Markle.
‘ I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level.
‘At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, “Shame!” and throw lumps of excrement at her.
‘Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.’
I know, that’s what the post is about. See the mention of Clarkson in the first paragraph.
