It’s not just men who employ misogynistic attacks on women, as I’ve discovered.

The experience of posting here this last year has also opened my eyes to the levels of hate that can be generated by female sexual jealousy. The hate that was directed at iceweasel (and to a much lesser extent myself) by Sharmuta* came totally out of the blue as far as I was concerned. As far as I knew, we pretty much agreed on most things - there had been no animosity whatsover - then one day - while I was in Glasgow with ice-ski - bam - massive downding attack followed by all kinds of bitchy comments.

Ice told me she had been expecting it - I had no idea it was coming. The idea that someone would be enraged by the knowledge of two other people she hadn’t even met finding happiness with each other was simply alien to me. Sadly, no more. I now know that for some women, there is nothing more abhorrent than knowing that another woman is happy when they aren’t.

Ditto for Irish Rose.

*There was another issue (money) involved of course, but again, I had no reason to expect that there was any ill feeling caused by it at that point.
