'She warned people request “examples” of “racism and misogyny” levied against the Duchess of Sussex - adding “they expect you to do the work for them to unpick” how “misogyny manifests”.

She added: “Misogyny doesn’t just manifest because you use certain keywords. There are words that are evasive, insidious, overt and covert that manifest misogyny against women”'

In other words, you don't have ANY fucking evidence to back up your claims, but you're going to throw around insults like 'racism' and 'misogyny' and GASLIGHT people into feeling they're 'racist' and 'misogynist' without offering any actual evidence. This is the absolute EMBODIMENT of GASLIGHTING. Making people feel bad about themselves/questioning their intentions, without offering any rational argument or any actual evidence as to why they should. NO ONE who calls themselves a 'feminist' should be remotely comfortable with this support for GASLIGHTING.

Interesting to note that she has 'Dr' Proudman on her side, who is noted for consistantly gaslighting anyone who brings up recordings of Amber Heard being *abusive* to Johnny Depp, and recently simped for Prince Harry (yes, I did use the word 'simp', in this case to describe the way a *woman* is speaking about a *man*), when he bragged about his drug usage (despite the reality of the dangers of Class-A drugs not only for the people who do them, but for many of the, mostly poor and/or Black, people who courier and trade them). By the way, according to some posters here, Prince Harry has a history of abusing women, possibly even raping them, but of course 'feminist' 'Dr' Proudman isn't going to talk about that, because right now, spoiled, rich, aristocratic, white boy Prince Harry is on the *right* side of the *narrative*.

Remember folks GASLIGHTING, NARRATIVE and AGENDA usually go hand-in-hand, and what all three terms have in common is a complete disinterest in truth and facts.

'People expect you to do the work for them'

Yes, that's usually how an allegation works. The burden of proof is on the person making the allegation, and it isn't on the jury or the judge to do their own investigation if the prosecution (i.e. the people/person making the allegation) is unable to provide evidence in support of their case.

I'm really getting pissed off with the way society is devolving. All it now takes for an allegation to have any traction is a 'feeling'. Don't these people who make these allegations based on nothing more than a 'feeling' recognise how destructive and cruel their behaviour is? This *isn't* what 'compassion' and 'kindness' is all about.

Seriously, one day my fellow leftists will look back on this era as a dark time, and wonder why we ever abandoned the liberal concepts of 'the presumption of innocence' and Jewish legal theorist Maimonides' statement that "it is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death"/Blackstone's Ratio.
