While I agree with the idiot Bindell that Peter Sutcliffe should not be released, her misandry is the usual bunkum and floats like flotsam across what should be a valid point about Sutcliffe’s incarceration.
In a way, Sutcliffe is partly responsible for me becoming a feminist, but so are the legions of other men who take pleasure from harming women and children.
Legions?!? The absurd hyperbole goes on.
If the murders of Ian Banyam, the gay man kicked to death in Trafalgar Square, and Stephen Lawrence, the young black man stabbed to death by racists, are viewed as hate crimes, why are the sex murders of women seen as the actions of individual madmen, rather than an expression of deep-rooted, institutionalised hatred of women?
Ah, yes, the old “institutionalised” bollocks again. Peter Sutcliffe killed those women and Peter Sutcliffe alone is responsible; no one else – certainly not the legions of decent men out there in the real world (the one not occupied by Julie Bindell and her man-hating feminist cohorts). Society is not to blame and the suggestion that “legions” of us are actively harming women and children is as offensive as it is nonsense and undermines anything this stupid woman has to say.
I am inclined to agree with the conclusion that Sutcliffe was (is?) insane. If serial killing is the action of a sane person, then the definition of sane has become somewhat warped.
What a stupid woman. Surely if there’s one thing to bring people together it’s that the Yorkshire Ripper should die in jail. Instead she belittles the enormity of the man’s guilt, by giving every man a share of it.

Ah, I had a post keyed up on this for tomorrow.
It’s a doozy of a column, and it’s nice to see she’s taking a beating in the comments.
I wonder what her take on Aileen Wourunos would be..?

Someone made a similar point in the comments – that a large chunk of people supporting her point felt compelled to qualify that support.
Feminist = hate men. That’s all.

She almost comes across as a caricature of a feminist, the sort that Little Britain would mock mercilessly, until you realise that she’s deadly serious and the Grauniad gives her a platform to spout her hatred of the male gender.
