Believe all women apart from Mason Greenwood's wife
As a post-revolutionary seventh wave feminist, I live according to one overriding principle, which I will capitalise to leave the reader in no doubt about my sincerity: BELIEVE ALL WOMEN There is just one exception to this rule: Mason Greenwood's wife.
As a post-revolutionary seventh wave feminist, I live according to one overriding principle, which I will capitalise to leave the reader in no doubt about my sincerity:
BELIEVE ALL WOMEN
There is just one exception to this rule:
Mason Greenwood's wife.
It is solely because of her that he is not spending time in prison for a crime which I believe happened, despite the minor technicality that I was not there.
Her claim that he did not attack her is why Mason Greenwood still earns a fortune playing football. It is because of her that he continues to be idolised by young impressionable fans who will now undoubtedly go on to commit similar abuses.
She may have been in the room when the alleged incident happened. She may have known Mason Greenwood since childhood, married him, and had children with him. She may even have gone on the record with her own account of events.
But I have a PhD in “The Contribution of Mansplaining to the Holocaust.”
I bet she doesn't.
Clearly, I am far more qualified than she is to decide whether he is guilty, and therefore whether his life should be ruined.
In fact, I cannot understand why we would even bother listening to her account. It makes far more sense to read what people are saying on social media.
This is a much more reliable tool for assessing the merits of criminal cases than quasi-colonial instruments of toxic masculinity such as the justice system of England and Wales.
