Quotes about Clementine Ford

• Ms Ford was recently called out for signing a copy of her book with 'have you killed any men today? And if not, why not?'.
  • 'I'm not taking questions from boys': Parent claims feminist Clementine Ford 'treated boys like crap' during a school talk - before female pupils got up and walked out, Daily Mail, 31 August 2017

• Ford’s all-consuming hatred for men is absolutely dripping. She screams, “The framing of criminal acts like these as being somehow the result of depression or financial struggles or just a lack of appropriate emotional support cannot help but infest the circumstances with an air of sympathy and understanding.” She slams “traditional notions of masculinity”, rants about the “patriarchy” and then Lifeline’s number is listed at the end. The fact Ford blankly refuses to comprehend motivational factors contributing to human beings wanting out of life purely highlights why she was never, and should never be, given a platform to speak at any events by any suicide prevention organisation. Ever.
