Who was in the wrong here? I feel like Beard was onto something

>>16526229
Nah, she's a neolib

>>16526229
gopal was wrong as always.

>>16525387
The absolute JUST of it all

>>16526300
Well they both are. If I'm reading this right, the right wants to co-op a neolib that was enamored w her neolib institutions over sex crap or was at least attempting to protect it. Might as well defend un and splc

Did she died?

>>16527544
Oh yea she dead.

Oxfam executives/workers were fucking underage prostitutes in Haiti. On the one hand fucking cheap prostitutes in third world countries was perfectly normal 50 years ago, on the other charities are holier than thou shit bags and their chief executives are all over paid, plus they pray on little old ladies with tons of spam mail.

I would love to sit down with her, stare into her eyes and discuss the glory of antiquity over many cups of milk.

>The ending of Heart of Darkness has always stayed with me. The narrator returns to Europe and visits the widow of Kurtz, the most infamous and vile coloniser who died in the Congo’s jungles. The woman is described as pale, fair, and pure with a halo surrounding her – she embodies European lightness that contrasts with the African women’s darkness. The novel’s ending has stayed with me because it sums up the complicity of white women. They are viewed as innocent and childlike, too naïve to be told about the horrors of what their men are doing in Africa, Asia, and America. But they know. They are made to stay at home and when their husbands return with a brown baby in tow, they look the other way. They hide behind a performance of tears and grief. Beard did something similar on Twitter. After her first tweet, she posted a picture of herself, upset and in tears: “I am sitting here crying. I am not really the nasty colonist you say I am. I speak from the heart.”

The left are disgusting people. They train their weapons of guilt on women because they know they are the most helpless to them, and through them is the surest way to control society. If the right ever snaps out from despising women to seeking to avenge what has been done to them, the fire and fury will be as intense as the cynical subversion of female idealism for which they are retaliating.

She virtue signaled for politically left leaning pedophiles

I don’t wish harm on her, only that she shuts up

>>16527813
Those evil retards from the klan celebrate and campaign to protect womanhood “first and always” before all else

>>16527880
And they're right :^)

God do Brits really? Christ no wonder they've let the arabs in to fuck their women, it's like giving rotten fruit to the homeless.

>>16525439
Both her books are pretty good. Helen of Troy was probably 100 pages too many but still a great read. I hope she writes more.

>>16527786
She does anthropology as well. In any case, she makes my dick happy which is the most important thing

>>16528965
this
a woman's worth begins and ends with her sexual worth. Women should be euthanized after menopause and their last child has left the home and i am 100% serious

>>16525480
I know nothing about Boris Johnson's politics, but he was very based in this debate. Beard just spouted funny reddit factoids while Boris really put up a hard case as to why Ancient Greece was so massively influential to the western world at large.

>>16525501
She knows what shes doing

>>16530651
I believe you’re right.


....but look at this sick thread. A woman dies and all they can do is cry about how they aren’t attracted to her, bring out a fucking tory who can recite some of his classics, and then advocate mandatory death sentences for women who can give them a baby. Fucking pigs should roast

>>16530735
Mary Beard isn't dead what are you talking about.

>>16530735
Shut up you retarded tripfag tranny, if you want to whine go to reddit

>>16530845
Well ignore that part.

This is a continuation of a thread listing female philosophers that had Mary Beard on the list in the OP. Someone mentioned her dumb comment defending regarding aid workers exploiting women in Haiti. The picture in this thread’s OP is what she posted on Twitter to show how upset the online hate she was receiving regarding her Haiti comment made her.
