THE song 'GERM', by Kate Nash, has gone viral – which is how I came across it on social media.
How dare she? The 37-year-old pop musician seems to be obsessed with slamming those feminists she has decided are 'bigots' and 'misogynistic'.

Julie Bindel says the lyrics represent an unforgivable betrayal of the women like Rowling who fought for the rights Nash is now in such a hurry to give away

In the lyrics she states that 'using feminism to erase the rights of others and endanger them is inherently unfeminist'.
She is, of course, referring to me and my fellow feminists – the ones sharp enough to have noticed that our rights to single-sex spaces are being eroded, and who have spoken out about the dangers of allowing men to identify as women.
She's got some nerve!
Apparently, the song is for the 'LGBTQIA+ community' – and her main target is the wonderful J. K. Rowling.

JULIE BINDEL I spent 20 years fighting to prove trans women aren't women - today, we won
Nash is such an ardent feminist that she's even persuaded the porn site OnlyFans to fund her tour.
She has also referenced female genital mutilation (FGM), dictating to feminists that we should campaign against it instead of wasting our time slagging off trans people.
Funny she should mention that, because we already do. One Somalian friend of mine – who's done a lot more to eradicate FGM than Nash has – was piled on by trans activists for using the 'exclusionary term' vagina when she spoke out.
These lyrics represent an unforgivable betrayal of the women who fought for the rights Nash is now in such a hurry to give away.
Protected by money and fame, she appears to care nothing about women seeking to escape violent men only to discover that women-only support services have been taken over by narcissistic men insisting they are women.
Her use and abuse of rape victims – such as Sarah Summers, who is having to sue Brighton council for not providing women-only counselling services – is hateful.
Nash talks about how 'cis men' perpetrate most rapes (meaning men that do not identify as women).
Julia Hartley-Brewer stands with JK Rowling
The truth is 100 per cent of rapes are committed by men – some of whom do pretend to be women.
She's clearly not the brightest spark in the plug, but her repeated allusions to the wonderful Rowling throughout do not serve her well.
When it was revealed that, across the whole of Scotland there was not a single rape crisis centre that had stuck to the original female-only premise on which they were built, Rowling put her time, money and effort into setting up Beira's place – an amazing support centre for women and girls who have been sexually assaulted.
Elsewhere Rowling has established funds to alleviate hardship for women and their children, and to help women who are being discriminated, bullied, and even sacked from their jobs for holding the perfectly reasonable belief that sex is immutable.
I'd love to know what Kate Nash has done, other than spend her time promoting porn sites, pouring scorn on feminists and inciting hatred towards those campaigning to end male violence.
Where she gets her superiority complex from, I do not know; it's a complete mystery.
One thing is clear: she should leave feminism to those of us that know what it actually is.

I was KICKED OUT of Dubai and had my £3,000 glam holiday ruined over my face tattoos – despite being allowed in before
Jordan said he was 'terrified' as he was not given his passport back for some time TATT'S NOT FAIR I was KICKED OUT of Dubai and had my £3,000 glam holiday ruined over my face tattoos – despite being allowed in before Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HEAVILY-inked Brit has vowed to never return to Dubai after claiming he got kicked out for plastering his face in tattoos. Jordan Howman, 34, said he had his passport confiscated and was held by airport workers for six hours before being given the boot - ruining his £3,000 holiday.

Jordan said his ink addiction hadn't caused him any issues during his previous two trips to his "favourite country in the world", the UAE. The dad told The Sun: "My missus has been crying her eyes out. "It has absolutely devastated me. I feel like I've been massively discriminated against.

"I'm a lovely lad, I get on with anyone. It's made me feel absolutely rubbish. I'm not allowed in a country because of the way I look. It's properly, massively affected me. 'It was my favourite country, but this has absolutely ruined it. Now I'll never go again. I've lost all of my money because of a pattern on my face.' Jordan landed at Dubai International Airport on Wednesday for a dream week-long holiday with his fiancée Theresa, 38, and daughter Kaic, 16. But he said as he ventured through passport control he was pulled to one side. After taking Jordan aside, the worker asked if he'd had his passport stamped before taking it from him.

"There had been nowhere to stamp it - we'd used the electronic gates. It was just an excuse to get the passport out of my hand.' After being held in a waiting room for more than four hours, Jordan was transferred to immigration at around midday, he said. By this time, his family had reached their five-star Anantara hotel. He called his partner and she got a taxi to the airport - but Jordan said airport staff refused to let her go to him and so she got a cab back, costing a total of £250. Jordan said he was "terrified" as he was not given his passport back for some time. 4 The dad has vowed to never return to Dubai Credit: SWNS 4 He said his passport was taken away for hours Credit: SWNS 'A woman came and took me upstairs to immigration, where they said: 'He's not coming in because of his face tattoos - you're not coming in because of the way you look'," he claimed. 'One of the staff behind the desk said a more senior immigration officer made the decision, saying I was not to enter Dubai and that I must leave the country immediately.' At 2.30pm - six hours after arriving - Jordan was put on another Emirates flight heading back to the UK. 'They sent me on a flight back to Manchester," he said. "It was only when I landed that I got my passport back. "Friday morning was the first time I got to see my daughter, over Facetime.' The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai have been approached for comment. Dubai Airports was also contacted for a response.

Dua Lipa follows in her idol Madonna's footsteps to headline career defining gig at Wembley Stadium
Just five other female artists have headlined at Wembley MADGE OF HONOUR Dua Lipa follows in her idol Madonna's footsteps to headline career defining gig at Wembley Stadium Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SINGER Dua Lipa has emulated her idol Madonna by playing Wembley Stadium at the age of 29. The superstar last night kicked off the first of two sold-out gigs at the 90,000-capacity venue. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Dua Lipa has emulated her idol Madonna by playing Wembley Stadium at the age of 29 Credit: Getty 4 Madonna was also 29 when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour Credit: Redferns 4 It caps a meteoric rise for Dua, whose first UK gig was at a 375-people capacity venue in Hackney nine years ago. She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour. Just five other women — Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue. Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28. Adele was also 29, tying with Dua as the youngest-ever Brit. An insider told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Fans had been camping outside in North West London since Thursday to see her on the Radical Optimism Tour. Last night, Dua opened with 2024 hit Training Season, and went on to perform her four UK No 1 singles New Rules, One Kiss, Cold Heart and Dance The Night. Dua's family and actor fiancé Callum Turner were also there. From cheeky topless snaps to Dua Lipa's beach break & luxury £3,600 a NIGHT villas - inside globe-trotting stars' super glam Easter getaways She was 17 when she was discovered by former manager Ben Mawson — telling him she aspired to be in the same league as Madonna. He said: 'There was something about the way she said it that made me believe her. 'It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive — and that came across. Dua's got it all.' Madonna appeared on a 2020 remix of her song Levitating. Dua recalled: 'I was talking with my manager and I was like, 'You know who'd sound really good on this? Madonna.' 'And he said, 'We could send it to her and see if she likes it.' She responded and she was so down. 'I couldn't believe that she wanted to do this record with me. I'm such a fan. It was really exciting.'
