Bestselling author and social historian Hallie Rubenhold is the author of The FIVE: The Untold Lives of The Women Killed by Jack the Ripper which won the presigious Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction this year. She has meticulously reclaimed the five women who became the Ripper’s victims who, until this book, had never been given a voice of their own and, worse, had been disregarded by society for over 130 years.

My bias is showing, Howie.

I just read this as:

She has maliciously reclaimed the five women...

I thought the prize was for non-fiction?

I see Murder Maps, which is usually pretty good, is toeing the Hallie line in it JtR show which is on right now as I type.

Of course. It’s now an established fact that Polly, Annie and Kate weren’t prostitutes.

[Mr. Poster]

Shes very irritating to listen to.

A voodoo doll is full of holes. As for Hallie's book.....

She seems not to know how a voodoo doll works. It’s a representation of someone to whom you wish to do harm.

Who is Hallie representative of?

Perhaps women in general? Is that the idea, that anyone questioning Hallie’s research is really taking a swipe at the sisterhood in general?

Probably. The whole feminist thing has gotten out of hand and at times now reaches extreme hypocrisy.

Sexual accusations have been effectively used against many politicians in the U.S. If the politician is Republican, or what we say is more conservative or to the right, feminists all jump in and work to destroy the accused.

Meanwhile at this moment, Joe Biden a presidential candidate, is again accused of sexual misconduct against Tara Reade. Since Biden is a Democrat, what many of us refer to as "the left" in this country, there is extreme effort to silence the issue. (But lots of us wonder about the many video clips where Biden has his hands all over squirming females, somehow gravitating to the breast area.)

In the first instance, feminists say, "believe all women". In the second instance they try to destroy the accuser.

HR is cashing in on this mob mentality. They are all what we call 'liberals' and liberals are all about emotion while ignoring facts.

liberals are all about emotion while ignoring facts.

I know many liberals, myself included, to whom that generalisation does not apply.

I was only using the U.S. definition. It is not the same as in the UK.

Haha. Yes. In the UK we have the liberal undemocrats. They certainly are something else!
