John Kay death - trigger warning (domestic violence, murder of partner)

PuddingPlease

So apparently this renowned UK journalists passed away and, among the glowing obituaries, nobody thought to mention that time he murdered his first wife.

The story seems unthinkable today in some ways, the 70’s really was a completely different time but for nobody to have brought it up while eulogising his marvellous achievements and professional generosity is completely off.

I read about this - sadly not even surprised anymore. It’s just expected that men are feted and lauded for all the Important Man Things they do.

I’ve just finished the last episode of Farrrow Vs Allen and still reeling from that.

Also just read an article about Biden accuser Tara Reade.

Women are chattel, objects, second class citizens. We have come so far, but there’s still a long way to go.

Made me think of this song

That is sickening.

Moo

I just…. Don’t have words.
