"I am doing this with the support of the Hair & Barber Council"

I had assumed that this was kneejerk racebaiting folkdevil bullshit designed to chase the votes of Daily Mailers, but now I know that you have the backing of a trade body nobody has ever heard of who will profit from your nonsense?

An excellent talk by Dr Nedeem Hassan, titled Heavy Metal Horror Film in 1980s' USA: Moral Panic and Folk Devil Reactions.

It took me years to realize what it was: their worldview blamed women writ large as the sole source of their emasculation. No tolerance for circumstances or exceptions. It was this abstract folkdevil of feminism that cost them their job, marriage, etc. They didn't need to change, the world did!

well, its not so much that it's "bad" as "it's a tabloid folkdevil that anyone with functioning media literacy skills should be able to spot as bullshit from space"

but ofc, you are lib dems, so
