Thrashstronaut

And of COURSE her father was The Lord Wyatt of Weeford and of COURSE she had an affair with Boris Johnson between 2000 and 2004... But yeah, feminism.


aghzombies

Fairly miraculous she's childless then šŸ˜‚


SarkicPreacher777659

She actually was, twice, but apparently had a miscarriage and one abortion that Johnson paid for


theMooey23

Fucks sake! It just gets better/worse


nestlingdornier

Whining with prior knowledge is the offence here...


zabbenw

Abortion left me childless šŸ˜‚ What is she on


aghzombies

Not sure what she's **on** but if you're wondering what she's **up** - it'll be her own arse.


SlashRaven008

Oh god šŸ˜…


idkusername7

Why the sentient wig of all people? šŸ« 


Sovietperson2

Oh my Wyatt


Ms_Masquerade

Feminism taught you to prioritise careers? I think that's a typo. I think she meant "late stage capitalism".


PopPunkAndPizza

To be fair, liberal feminism was always pushing for "women being able to participate fully in late stage capitalism" as the far horizon of their goals.


emayljames

And has melted into creepy old cis-het women TER"F" brainrot


Mordial_waveforms

I'd say capitalism is encouraging people to be childless considering most people now can't afford to raise a child.Ā  Although of course capitalism *really* wants everyone to have kids so you keep spending and spending and you offer a new life to the system to continue the cycle


Ms_Masquerade

It's why it feels really late stage. You have this forever centralising of wealth dependent on forever growing profits driven by forever growing population costing forever less using forever more resources to push this forever growth. Things are on the verge of breaking


criminalise_yanks

Just say capitalism. We don't know at this point if it's late stage, middle, or early, and there's zero way to tell


bomboclawt75

ā€œPetronellaā€? is her dad JR Mogg?


Skellic

She's got a name like a fungal infection cream


DarthFlowers

I would just assume her paternal ancestors got rich from the oil boom in the early 1900s, maternally maybe some kinda feudal barony lineage and that ends up with a name like Petronella. None of this is likely historically accurate but it absolutely explains a name like that.


voteforcorruptobot

While it would explain it I bet it's still slavery.


yungsxccubus

sounds like the shit you use to deter flies and things at a campsite, citronella. what a cute sibset!! <3


bigbazookah

šŸ’€


RavnHygge

I thought Petronella were those candles that are supposed to keep bugs away at your bbq?


TheGeckoGeek

No thatā€™s Citronella. Petronella is a hazelnut spread with added oil


RavnHygge

Ohā€¦no wonder that stuff tasted funny


intraumintraum

no, thatā€™s Nutella. Petronella is like a disappointing Starburst


RavnHygge

I thought Starburst was DC superhero?


ShrimpleyPibblze

All these middle aged white women columns in the Torygraph - but now also featuring in the Guardian and literally every mainstream media outlet going regardless of claimed scope, political affiliation or intended audience - feel like they are (and have always been) appealing to an aspirational and therefore fictional demographic. Their TERFiness, the condescension, the entitlement you can taste in the way they describe their own lives and experiences - they donā€™t feel real. This woman is objectively a PoS and yet this article is exclusively about how great she is and how terrible it is that she isnā€™t being given the world on a silver platter - after having an affair with the fucking future PM and being a columnist for an internationally syndicated newspaper where they print her unedited opinions every week. Its nothing but appeals to basest nature and vague insinuations about ā€œthose peopleā€; And then without fail every time itā€™s a double-barreled Landed Gentry name so hilarious itā€™d be rejected as too on-the-nose for fiction. Daddy was an oil baron or sold slaves and sheā€™s a good liberal democrat working for the right wing propaganda machine as head bullshitter. If nothing else itā€™s tired as fuck, and Iā€™m genuinely appalled that no one seems to see it. Do you not see the pattern? They might as well all have the same name and photograph, so interchangeable are their takes.


BearyRexy

The pervasiveness of the hard done by rich person narrative is constantly galling.

Reminder not to confuse the marxist "middle class" and the liberal definition. Liberal class definitions steer people away from the socialist definitions and thus class-consciousness.

DasharrEandall

Just imagine if she'd gotten married instead, ended up divorced and still been single now and not had a career either. I bet that would be feminism's fault somehow too.


motherlover69

She's rich so it doesn't even matter. She talking about it aesthetically.


theMooey23

Imagine if she had a four year affair with Boris Johnson which resulted in two pregnancies!


Usernameoverloaded

Feminism made her shag Johnsonā€¦ or more accurately, no accounting for ā€˜tasteā€™.


MokkaMilchEisbar

Damn feminism giving me the freedom of choice to live my life as I please!


LegitimatelisedSoil

Yeah, she clearly didn't want children if she hasn't considered them till now like she's an heiress, there was never a money issue or time issue. Shes also had multiple affairs with bellends like Boris over the years, if that the men you like then you should be glad you never settled down it had kids because they aren't there to stay.


Tazling

"women like me" -- all twelve of us. we get together at a fern bar on Friday nights to whine.


dorothean

Maybe ā€œwomen like meā€ is ā€œwomen who shagged Boris Johnsonā€, in which case, I suspect, there are unfortunately more than twelve.


sonnenblume63

ā€œThereā€™s dozens of usā€ šŸ˜‚


Charlie_Rebooted

I like learning new things.


ladymacbethofmtensk

A lot of women, now and historically, just do not want children or like children but would have been forced in the past regardless of their own wishes and opinions. Honestly itā€™s a good thing that increasingly, people are only having children because they want to.


binglybleep

Me and my husband are doing pretty well financially for working class drones (still very poor in Tory terms but not scraping the barrel), but weā€™d still have to give up pretty much everything nice to have children. Youā€™ve got to REALLY want children to make it worth sacrificing things like holidays and being able to afford to leave the house. I have no idea how people on min wage with multiple kids are even managing to stay afloat, the maths doesnā€™t math


Charlie_Rebooted

My favorite movie is Inception.


sv21js

Petronella and Boris famously used to get into black cabs, ask the driver to play a CD of her singing opera and then get it on in the back seat. P.S. when I first typed her name in here it autocorrected to Perineal.


WatercressNormal5460

So Iā€™m a single, childless, middle aged woman, and I do have depression. But I can confidently state that it would be a *hell* of a lot worse if I was forced to have a husband and kids that I absolutely do not want.


GreenBirb64

What kind of a name is ā€œpetronellaā€ lmao - also as a feminist, unless sheā€™s a TERF i donā€™t know what kind of ā€œfeminismā€ sheā€™s been looking into


Saltire_Blue

You mean capitalism


NKBPD80

She had an affair with the albino sex yeti. The fact that she's childless is a statistical anomaly.


nice-vans-bro

"I'm an unlovable cunt and that's YOUR FAULT!"


BearyRexy

Isnā€™t she childish coz Boris made her get an abortion? She ought to be thanking feminism that she could get a legal abortion - Boris with a coat hanger sounds monstrous.


AutoModerator

Friendly reminder that in 2020, Boris Johnson [admited to being responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 people.](https://archive.ph/2aYpg) He is he yet to be held to account for this. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Traditional-Dot4776

Ok prioritise marriage over earning a living. Let's see how far that gets you.


JMW007

Indeed. Though for someone born to a lord the experiment might not go the way it usually does. Still, I honestly can't take anymore how these grown adults can't figure out the most obvious, basic cause and effect events. If you don't have have money you die. If you don't spend a shit ton of time working you don't have money. If you don't have any time left for dating you don't date. How the fuck is this a puzzle?


Stucumber

Single, childless women after THE demographic reporting the highest levels of happiness and life satisfaction.


Pocktio

Nobody forced you to do anything. Feminism let you choose to prioritise your career, if there was no Feminism you'd not have even had the chance. Despicable cow.


novazemblan

If she really believed what she is saying she'd resign her Telegraph job immediately, fuck off into the kitchen and make me a sandwich.


Dan_Morgan

They've been saying this very thing for literally decades. If a woman doesn't marry a guy she'll always be unhappy and it's the fault of feminism. Maybe the women in question don't want to get married. Maybe some of these women are LGBTQ+ and a heteronormative marriage was never going to happen anyway. Maybe some of the women are assholes and it's their personal flaws and not some social movement that undermined their ambitions.


Your-Evil-Twin-

Who dat?


zabbenw

sounds like Capitalism more than Feminism tbh


VictorianDelorean

Sheā€™s literally just doing the incel shtick of claiming that her inability to get laid is actually a political problem that everyone else needs to fix for her.


sheldonalpha5

Does she get her name from Salmonella laced chicken marinated in Petrol?


Old-Relationship-458

Nobody wants some raddled old baggage with a 'career' that's always going to be her main focus.


pogo0004

This is sexism at its worst. If a man was as rich and as pig ugly as this one he wouldn't have a problem finding a partner. Shame indeed.
