JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: GUARDIAN FRONT-PAGE GLOP - HERE ARE WORDS ABOUT "WOMEN PUSHING BACK IN TELLING THEIR STORIES" - THIS IS THE FEEBLE STUFF A NOW REMARKABLY-ESTABLISHMENT NEWSPAPER USES TO CLAIM ITSELF AS STILL ON THE LEFT



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY SARAH CHURCHILL IN THE GUARDIAN AND QUICKLY REMOVED


Pushing back: why it's time for women to rewrite the story 

Women have always been free to write their own stories.

And quite a few have, including some remarkable ones.

If others haven't, no one's really to blame but themselves.

I can't help feeling that this kind of article contributes little to understanding and panders to a certain crowd with not entirely rational views.

I like to call these kind of articles The Guardian's front-page glop, and they appear with great regularity.

They used to be called "filler" by publishers.
