It’s the same as Daniel Sloss getting praise. For what? Speaking in vague generalities? I don’t buy the “well she may have been sued”. There’s clearly sufficient evidence if the Times and Channel 4 have gone after him. Katherine did the bare minimum. Told HIM he was a predator? Cool, well done.

What was Katherine supposed to do exactly? She couldn’t go to the police on the behalves of the women who were assaulted.

The legal system is fucked when it comes to sexual crimes.

Hardly any women report, and can you blame them? Look at the discourse on social media. Full of men and women alike criticising victims for being whores, desperate for attention and/or money. Adamant that without “proof” the perp is innocent. I swear there could even be concrete proof (like video) and there would still be swathes of people denying it. Who can blame women who have been raped/assaulted for being too scared to speak to police, have their lives and reputations dragged through the mud, only to be told the police can’t take the case any further due to lack of evidence?

And of the women who do go to the police, look at the statistics. Virtually none lead to a conviction. Rape is basically legal in this country.

And somehow a man’s actions become a women’s responsibility again… tale as old as time.

His job is just...lawn

I’m so sick of people blaming her. She didn’t commit any crimes! She did what she could to help other women and get some consequences for this prick! Why should she have to sacrifice her career for him? The police would’ve done nothing even if she’d tried to report him - it hadn’t happened to her and she had no proof. He’d have ruined her if she’d named and shamed him in the press…but the press knew anyway. Where’s the blame for them? For the men working around him? Every time she opens her mouth now there’s an article published. Why are we laying any blame at all on a woman for crimes committed by an unrelated man?

Sorry but it's different. There's no point in showing off a baby sucking on a bottle because with breastfeeding it's about the personal connection. There's no personal connection with an interchangable piece of rubber is there. It's also really amazing and emotional being able to feed your baby from your own body.

Showing breastfeeding gives breastfeeding mums a bad name?! What in the 1950s misogynistic body shaming is this? Breasts are for breastfeeding not sure what your problem is.

I agree with your second point, it’s misogyny. Showing breastfeeding is just sharing part of the journey.
But the first part feels very intended to upset someone who can’t or doesn’t breastfeed. There is still emotional connection when bottle feeding. Eye contact and that quiet time is incredibly important in the bonding experience, bottle or breast. Don’t diminish that.
I say that as someone who breastfed until my daughter was four. Let’s not try and upset or exclude the experience of anyone because of how they feed their baby. Fed is best.

I was blown away when she compared that woman Rachel Dolezal who pretended to be black to people with gender identity issues... In what vein is gender identity issues and someone doing blackface the same thing!?

Well personally I can’t see the difference between RD saying that she feels like a black person inside, and presenting herself as black, with someone who says they feel like the opposite sex inside. What does it mean to be a man who says he feels like a woman (and vice versa)? I don’t think man or woman is a feeling, any more than I think blackness is a feeling.

There’s nothing wrong with being gender non-conforming. But no one is born in the wrong body

Everytime I click on this thread I hope for more Katherine goss and bobby k shade but all I get is breastfeeding posts. It's one of the most boring debates ever.

Thread suggestion!

Katherine was feminist to the core, married pyro BK and became an obedient bore.

Oh gawd please don’t let this turn into a breastfeeding v bottle feeding whirlpool of defensiveness.

I am literally begging to keep gender chat out of this thread; it infects so many threads and it's so bloody depressing.

Wow some wild theories going on here with zero evidence to back them up.

Just listened to her most recent podcast - Tattle gets a mention!

She says she doesn't approve of talking about the schools kids go to, sharing floorplans of people's houses (fair enough), but she does admit some of these 'celebs' should get a thicker skin. Said when she checked out her thread she found it funny more than anything.

Cheers Katherine!

Oh no her next podcast will be a 40 min rant defending it

She’s actually seatbelt trained Fred by anticipating dangerous road situations using her mother’s intuition and then holding the seatbelt over him.

Just listened to the new episode and find it concerning she’s talking about surrogates for future children. Why not just enjoy the FOUR you will have, give your time and attention to them as you’re already having to spread it thinly between that many. (Not to mention the planet is already overpopulated).

Gross. She’s 41, she’s on track for her third baby in 4.5 years, and she’s still talking about renting a poor woman to pop out another kid for her? Commercial surrogacy truly is Handmaid’s Tale shit.

I work in tv/entertainment and I’ve met a lot of famous people/celebrities… KR is genuinely the nicest of them all. I was pleasantly surprised - I think her media persona is just that - an exaggerated, characterised version of herself. She’s lovely, humble and just seemed “normal”. Jimmy Carr on the other hand…

Nah I’m with her - it’s gross. It’s been a few months so she might have been 17 when they met. Yeah all legal etc but gross.

Same girl, same.




She’s going to have a breakdown if she isn’t careful. Some women love to act like pregnancy and birth is no big deal, and any woman who found it difficult or traumatic is just making a fuss out of nothing. “Pregnancy isn’t an illness, guys!” etc. It’s just classic pick me behaviour.

But the problem with that is not allowing yourself to rest or heal, physically or mentally. Clearly she just wants to project a tough girl image but jeez, no one will give you a medal for jumping straight back into work.



Sounds like she fell into a woo-woo hypnobirthing rabbit hole that brainwashes women into believing an easy birth can be achieved by anyone if they want it badly enough.

Word. There's no glory in never taking a break and there's no shame in stopping to enjoy your new kiddo.

I gave birth on Monday early morning and went back to work Friday afternoon because a) he died shortly after birth and I needed to GFTO of my house and my head and b) I was 20 and working slightly over minimum wage with no family or maternity leave and couldn't afford to not work.

A good friend went back to work after two and a half weeks because she couldn't afford not to work.

A colleague came back to work after a week because her babies were born eleven weeks premature and in the NICU and she wanted to save her very limited maternity leave for when they came home.

Being able to brag about not taking a maternity leave is a reaaaaaaaaaally fucking privileged thing to do. She looooves to shit on Americans but if she had to live here for a month she'd change her fucking tune real quick.

Also, Violet saying she looks like the Statue of Liberty in drag is the best thing I've heard in a long time.

Yes - as someone who, despite my contributions to this thread absolutely count myself as a fan (I'm only here to bitch about that golfing waste of space BK ) I think it's pretty demonstrable that she did the absolute most she was able to do - and got results ie Brand was cut from Roast Battle - and was alone among her peers both male and female for sticking her neck out as far as she did

good on violet

Being shitty to service staff is a hallmark of arseholery.

I think its extra important to make sure Violet is treated the same as the other kids because she has a different dad. I am in a stepfamily, and being shunted off to economy with the nanny while my mum, stepdad and new siblings all sat somewhere else together would have hurt loads. Not even the fact that they were in business and I was in economy, but they were all together, like a perfect nuclear family, without me.
Once again it feels like one of those things that even if everyone felt ok with in the moment, may cause issues in the future.
