Don't Ban Bindel
Bea Campbell defends Julie Bindel. Regular readers may have guessed that lesbian feminism is not really my thing. But Bindel's is a hugely important voice against pornography, in favour of criminalising the purchase of sex (although I'd also ban its sale, with exactly equal sentencing), against anonymity for those accused of rape (but nor should adult accusers enjoy anonymity), and in favour of the simple scientific fact that you can cut up the tissue any way you like but the chromosomes cannot change.
