Excellent takedown of The Punch’s anti-feminist article by tallulahspankhead at The Lady Garden.
That “Feminist Whore” code in Dead Island game: nice to see a proper apology
Others please take note. This is how an apology is done – regret and responsibility. No “if people were offended” bullshit where the responsibility for outrage is weaselled from the perpetrator(s) to those who call it out.
