I applaud her. It takes guts to write something like that.

This is an excellent article. Thank you for bringing it to our attention here, and I send a huge thank you to Barbara Kay for writing it.

. Erin Pizzey, who opened the first refuge for battered women in England in 1971, was “disappeared” from the feminist movement when she revealed what she learned in her own shelter: She committed a heresy by asking women about their own violence, and they told her.

Countdown until rabid feminists 'disappear' Barbara Kay in 4..3..2..1

Thank you for posting this. I don't know why I even tried to read the comments:

I wonder what kind of warped demented world Barbara Kay inhabits. Virtually every column she writes is an attack on women or an attempt to minimize abuse of women. It's obvious that she is a rare breed, a female misogynist. It's about time the NP reviewed her credentials. Bigotry in any form should not be allowed in a national newspaper.

Yeah, because calling attention to men's issues = misogynist. The more shit I read, the less I feel I should ever call myself a feminist again, because I do not want to be associated with anyone that fucking stupid. My god. In fact, it would actually be quite the opposite of sexist to admit that women can be just as violent as men. Isn't the idea that women are delicate flowers incapable of doing any wrong part of the gender stereotypes we fight against? Ugh.

I quite like her writing. She's generally reliable to tell it like she sees it and avoid PC. The National Post in general is pretty good at that, but she's one of their better writers. Back when I subscribed to a newspaper, that was the one.
