Kate Nash is not the brightest spark but GERM song trashing brave JK Rowling for fighting for real women is unforgivable
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.

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'

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.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher FINALLY finalise divorce after toxic split as they carve up £120m fortune
SACHA Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their £120 million pound divorce – 14 months after publicly announcing their separation. In a message, posted simultaneously on both their Instagram sites on Friday , the pair said: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. 6 Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce Credit: Getty 6 The pair announced their split over a year ago with a funny post 6 Sacha and Isla shared the same statement today "We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. "We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.' They then publicly announced their break-up the following year. More on Isla Fisher They appear to have amicably resolved any differences there might have been between them. This is despite previous suggestions the couple's divorce may have been turning acrimonious as they carved up their estimated eight-figure fortune. A source said: 'It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family's well-being.' Baron Cohen, 53, and Fisher, 49, - who have three children together - first met at a party in Sydney , Australia in 2001. Most read in Celebrity Speaking of their first encounter, Baron Cohen recalled that Fisher was "hilarious". He remembered: "We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did." The pair announced the separation last year with a picture of themselves wearing tennis whites, noting: "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down." "We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy." Baron Cohen also became embroiled in some controversy last year when Australian actress film The Brothers Grimsby, where they played a slovenly married couple. All The signs Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher had secretly split from girls' nights out to hiding ring finger However, the publisher had not fact-checked the claims in advance – and they lacked substance. Baron Cohen's legal team then supplied video footage of one scene in question, plus email exchanges, script excerpts and testimony from producers and crew members, which illustrated that the scenes were actually all part of the script . As a result, the unfounded claims were removed wholesale from the autobiography in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In a statement at the time, Baron Cohen said: 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.' Baron Cohen first rose to fame in the 1990s with his Ali G character, the infamous spoof wannabe gangster who became a comedy star. He also starred as Borat, a journalist from Kazakhstan, and played the role of flamboyant Austrian fashionista Bruno . 6 Isla shares three children with Sacha Credit: islafisher/Instagram 6 The pair first met in 2021 Credit: Getty Fellow actor Fisher appeared as Shannon Reed in long-running Australian soap Home and Away before moving to the big screen. Her breakthrough role came in Wedding Crashers in 2005, and she also starred in Confessions of a Shopaholic. She has also had a series of children's books published. Speaking earlier this year of their break-up, Fisher said: 'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.' Suggestions last year that the timing of the separation may have been linked to Wilson's unfounded claims also proved wrong – in fact Baron Cohen and Fisher had separated long before Wilson's book was published. A film source said: 'The idea that Rebel's claims had anything to do with the timing of the separation or announcement of Sacha and Isla's break-up was always plain wrong.' 6 The pair denied Rebel's claims had anything to do with the split Credit: Getty All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce. Here we look at the Social media silence - Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas. Spending time with friends - Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends. Hidden ring finger - No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots. Missing man - The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year.
