Clementine Ford has quit Nine (ex Fairfax) after they finally tried to rein in her vile abuse:

Also, here's some tea and I can spill it now that I have resigned from Fairfax: in September, they threatened to fire me because I had called transphobic Scott Morrison a 'fucking disgrace' on Twitter and they said that new policy was we 'didn't disrespect the office of the PM'. — Clementine Ford 🧟‍♀️ (@clementine_ford) January 30, 2019

At last someone there draws a line. Fairfax previously let Ford get away with this:

Fairfax columnist Clementine Ford has printed and sold "F... Abbott" T-shirts.

Others have started to push back against Ford's business model of making a buck from anger and abuse:

In May last year, the hard line feminist had her speech for a charity fundraiser cancelled after almost 14,000 people signed a petition against her appearance. The outrage came after she tweeted “Kill All Men”, “All men must die” and “I bathe in male tears”. Also in a since-deleted tweet, Ford called then-Treasurer Scott Morrison a “racist stain on humanity”

And:

The ABC has apologised to News Corp columnist Miranda Devine after Hack Live guest Clementine Ford referred to her as a c**t.

But for too long Ford has been allowed to profit from her astonishing abuse:

Fairfax columnist Clementine Ford has jeered that a female journalist of Iranian background [Rita Panahi] "will never be a white man". Fairfax columnist Clementine Ford has called former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman a " c..t"... “In conclusion, shut the f**k up Miranda until you know what you're talking about.” – Clementine takes gentle issue with Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine... “Hey Sunrise Get F**ked.” – Ford gets her message across to the morning television program by writing it on her naked chest like a mental patient. “F**k off Sunrise you bunch of absolute f**king bell-ends.” – Ford expands on her thoughts in a Twitter post. “Well, we’d just kill them.” – Ford imagines the outcome for non-compliant men on her fantasy feminist island. “F**k off, dipshit.” – Guess who. “It makes me sad that a 15 year old is such a horrible bigot and a dickhead.” – Clementine tackles a child.

And for too long journalists have allowed her to get away with hypocrisy - with playing the martyr. For instance:

Clementine Ford is no stranger to controversy...

"You can always predict when the abuse might come in," says Ford, of the daily barrage of hateful comments she receives - and shares - on social media which usually target her feminist views.

Ford is foul-mouthed, inaccurate (check the correction), angry, tribal and a professional victim, and to me perfectly demonstrates the trashing of our civilisation. But she isn't going out without one massive primal scream:

The 38-year-old used kiss emojis with the words “Anyway, bye Fairf**ked!” to conclude several brutal tweets overnight.... "Maybe you do get to the point where you decide that your shitty salary with the shitty work conditions just isn’t enough to keep eating shit every week, and you decide that you would rather take the risk on not making rent next month just to not eat their shit again."

And you can say, well why didn't you leave earlier? But the truth is, freelancers eat shit for money for so long. We have no job security, no super, no sick pay, no leave and we learn to be grateful for what we get. Which ain't much. — Clementine Ford 🧟‍♀️ (@clementine_ford) January 30, 2019
