Britain's Michael Fabricant Apologizes for Saying He'd Punch Leftist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

Here's the Guardian, which has the screencap of the offensive tweet, "Tory MP Michael Fabricant apologises for tweet saying he might punch female journalist."

It turns out conservative commentator James Delingpole joined the debate with an "inflammatory" post (which I like), "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO PUNCH YASMIN ALIBHAI-BROWN IN THE THROAT."

That got Louise Mensch's dander up and she defended Alibhai-Brown.

.@y_alibhai although #Delingpole is UKIP and not Tory, I am mortified by the abuse you are receiving from right-wing men #feminism

And here's the woman debating Rob Little on Channel 4, which is worth a look, heh.



In any case, I wouldn't make a comment about punching a woman (at least not so publicly), although I don't think you can ban emotional speech like that. Who knows, though. Feminists generate a lot of power with the "misogyny" meme. You have to push back and stand up for free-flowing speech.
