Julie Bindel, who said that men should be put “ in some kind of camp ,” is now claiming that misogyny is behind her ban from a debate on censorship.In an article published today, titled “ No platform: my exclusion proves this is an anti-feminist crusade ,” Bindel writes that her ban from a debate at the U.K.’s University of Manchester “is a gift to misogynistic men.”“The campus craze of banning outspoken women from university events and debates across the country is such a gift to the misogynistic “men’s rights” movement,” she writes. “If I were a conspiracy theorist I would be insisting this is a global plot to end women’s liberation,” she continues.Bindel goes on, “Any feminism that names men and men’s violence as the problem is being shut down… Banning me from speaking by claiming that my very presence would cause harm and even violence to students, when they regularly allow men who actually campaign against women’s rights to speak, is outrageous.”She concludes her piece, “No student was harmed in the writing of this article.”Bindel has come under criticism after saying that she “would actually put them all in some kind of camp.” She went on to say, “I hope heterosexuality doesn’t survive, actually. I would like to see a truce on heterosexuality.”She has also been criticized for a number of comments that were considered transphobic.
