Clementine Ford 'leaves' Australian media organisation that had given her a platform.

Ah, you beat me to reporting this piece of good news! I don’t mind at all today, I’m just glad everyone else here learned that the world became a better place an hour sooner than they would if I’d been first.

Reading her desperate justifications, it sounds as if the new management isn’t sufficiently man-hating for our Clem’s liking, and as a successful company they are presumably more committed to turning a profit than the perennially money-losing Fairfax, run by economically-illiterate Socialists (is that redundant?). Both are very good reasons for them to force her out.

Learn how to code, Clemmy.

Now she's been booted off the former Fairfax she's begging for money on patreon. Turns out they have a complaint form that includes hate-speech, something which Ford is clearly guilty of. Here's the form.

Thoughts and prayers with Clem at this difficult time. Please suggest any coding languages that might a good place for Clementine to start to learn to code.

'Ruby ~~off the~~ on Rails is my suggestion

According to her Patreon:

I have been a columnist for FFX since 2012, but the media landscape is changing. I have recently had my column halved which means my wage has also been halved. The majority of media appearances I make on radio and TV are all unpaid. I have written two successful books but making a liveable wage from books is actually very rare. As a freelancer, I have no sick leave, no holiday pay, no superannuation and no contract that provides me with stability. I say all that not to moan, but to puncture and illusions people seem to have about feminist work being an ingenious get-rich-quick scheme. I want to keep creating feminist content and running a free Facebook page and Twitter, but I also recognise that this work IS work. In order to keep doing those things effectively in this environment, I need to put a value on it - not just the hours required to produce the work, but the impact that its fallout also produces which is often abusive in nature"

So, she's a professional writer who can't make an argument without degenerating into name calling and profanity, and you wonder why business doesn't want to pay you.

At the time of writing. 686 people have pledged her money.

So, she seems to have seen this coming, which would explain why she got her Patreon going again in December. I don't know much about Patreon, but i DO know they kicked Sargon out for calling some right wingers niggers and faggots on another platform. Do they have a complaints system? And if so, why not send them some complaints giving evidence of how vile this woman is?

DubsPackage · 2019-01-31T04:26:16+00:00

She's an obnoxious hack and I have no idea why anyone even gives her a platform to communicate.

If she weren't a white woman, she would have been knocked the fuck out a long time ago.

White female privilege is real.

Now if she would just leave earth and head back to her home on Tatooine.

Well, can't say i'm surprised, i've never heard anything postive from or about the woman.

Greg_W_Allan · 2019-01-31T08:56:09+00:00

High time Clem grew up and got a real job.

fengpi · 2019-01-31T01:42:25+00:00

I can only think of one thing to say.

But, hey, I'm sure there's a lot of money in being an independent pious insult-hurling martyr all by your Strong Woman self.

ShylockSimmonz · 2019-01-31T01:49:40+00:00

She seems lovely.

Mythandros · 2019-01-31T18:10:58+00:00

Wow. Whenever I look at that horrible, man-hating face I am always surprised how ugly she really is. Inside and out. How can someone this ugly exist?
