Legal Beagle: Think it possible that you…, in reply to Lucy Telfar Barnard,
Let's imagine we did as Graeme suggested: we rang RadioLive endlessly, to tell them how offensive what they did to Amy was, how wrong and offensive their views on rape were.
We don't need to imagine it: the single people I've been trying to reach more insistently during the whole thing was RadioLive, and I encouraged others to do the same. Not a peep from them. Ever.

And obviously if the offending comments were removed we'd reach an irony singularity.

The wild-west atmosphere along with the many angry and unmoderated male voices creates a space in which most women don't feel safe.
Some of the comments have been extraordinary. They speak more of the men who wrote them than anything else, of course - but still.

Then you should read it again.
Actual "wow".

Not what he has said.
Indeed, but Hubbard lives in his own world in which I'm evil.

OK Graeme, here’s a question. Do you believe that structural inequality – of the type that privileges some voices over others – exists?
Sorry, missed it.
[Assuming I know what the term means] Yes, I do.
The evidence of the post strongly suggests that you don't. But at an even more basic level, I find your inability to conceive of how advertisers *already* shape public discourse quite astonishing. As I wrote in my post, the fact that the near totality of our media rely entirely on advertising revenue means that the message we see and hear are subject to commercial - and not public interest - imperatives, which is why broadcasters are strongly incentivised to offend, exclude, cause controversy. That anyone should think that this is in fact a state of purity to be preserved borders on the grotesque.

I'll warn you, people are going to say some pretty confusing things about your tits.
And about your fascist roots.

None taken. It's particularly easy when people email me personal abuse for doing it.
Let's swap inboxes!

Long but prescient
John, your constant snide inanity and obviously deeply felt desire to ridicule the whole idea that rape apology may be a serious issue have been some of the the most reliable companions I've had in the past two weeks. Keep it up.

Maybe if you dropped the link to your blog in twitter a bit more you'd have more readers.
I think there are some indigenous tribes deep in the Borneo who haven't been spammed by Mark yet. We should also sponsor him to go on an expedition.
