Woman MPs would not utilize sexist abuse in order to smear Jeremy Corbyn because no one takes those fears seriously. Prominent women are often abused in some way, already have less free time than men, and often have to use that free time to fight against misogyny. The implication that women would use this to smear someone is ludicrous, because they’d rather not deal with it at all.

Key Takeaways:

• Women’s fears aren’t taken seriously.
• men live in fear of being smeared, of their careers being ruined,
• prominent women are left open to abuse at the hands of irrelevant men, that the distribution of power among the sexes is such that not only do these women struggle to deal with their bullies, but their testimony is not believed.

“Claims of abuse are a familiar focus of moral paranoia. But men who live in fear of being smeared, of their careers being ruined, ought to appreciate how infrequently this happens; and how frequently, in comparison, women lose their jobs for speaking the truth about male harassment.”
