"Feminists don't have a sense of humour"

The Hamleys campaign has annoyed some people. Paddy Murray, who wrote an opinion article about me in the Irish Sunday World called 'Sexist My Arse', is particularly rattled.

Common objections about feminists and feminism are:
1. Feminism is PC gone mad (see my interview on CNN with Richard Quest).
2. Feminists don't have a sense of humour.

This latter point reminded me of a song someone sent me on YouTube a while ago. Check this out. It's Mother of Pearl by Nellie McKay. It made me smile.

  1. So sad that Mr Murray wishes to reinforce the stereotype of Irish people being stupid. We know that's not the case.
