Not surprising - liberal left politics as a whole is a very female take on
the world. Everyone is nice really given a chance, encouragement not punishment,
everyone is equal even when clearly they're not, turn the other cheek, we
must atone for the sins of our fathers (note - not mothers), etc etc. All
very laudable but all very naive.

But I wouldn't worry , Guardian readership is in freefall so it won't be
around much longer and one can only hope liberal left politics gets buried
with it in the dustbin of history where it belongs.

If the Guardian folds, the Independent is ready to take over. The
Indy used to be literally that; an independent, impartial newspaper,
or at least the nearest one could ever get to that ideal.

Now, the Indy has taken a sharp left turn and would likely inherit the
Guardian's mantle if that paper were to close. The orange headlines
remind me of the Socialist Worker.
