I have a problem with privileged, arrogant, opinionated journalists, but I don't spout these views through the columns of a national newspaper or in public meetings. As a research historian I am constantly asked for my evidence and for my references and am constantly subject to peer review as I'm sure you are yourself.
Academic discourse, while it is often forthright, generally retains a modicum of dignity and respect for the opinions of others. Ms Bindel seems to lack these.
Of course, journalists can spout any garbage they choose and assume they won't be challenged on it..........
