‘Guilt-tripping misogynist crap’: Opinion in The Guardian tells of one feminist’s anguish over hiring female cleaner

Uncategorized

‘Guilt-tripping misogynist crap’: Opinion in The Guardian tells of one feminist’s anguish over hiring female cleaner Author Sally Howard pondered in The Guardian whether she can have a “clean feminist conscience” if she hires a female cleaner and folks responded with pure shock at the privileged issue. Howard lamented she used to return home to “a clean kitchen and bathroom and a drenching sense of guilt.” Hiring a female to clean her home weighed on her “feminist conscience,” so she was inspired to go “undercover” as a cleaner to learn more about the job firsthand for a new book. Working in office buildings and hotels, she says, “I picked used tampons off bathroom carpets and scrubbed bathtub tidemarks and sauces spattered across kitchen walls.” Sh...

NHS distributes ‘inclusive’ leaflet about smear tests for transgender men, forgets to mention women

Uncategorized

NHS distributes ‘inclusive’ leaflet about smear tests for transgender men, forgets to mention women Striving for ‘inclusivity’ has played a bad joke on the NHS which addressed a pamphlet about a cervix exam to transgender men and forgot to mention the group it concerns the most – biological women.
