‘You haven’t even built a career, have you?’: Douglas Murray's row with journalist

Author Douglas Murray debates political journalist Ava Santina over gender ideology in schools before the conversation turns and he is accused of building a career out of stoking fear.

“I don’t know, Ava, anything about your career, I don’t know if you have one,” Mr Murray said.

“But you did try to imply that you knew something about mine and you just showed you know nothing about it.

“You haven’t even built a career, have you?”

Any adult advocating this nonsense should be prohibited from working with children and we should be collectively ashamed that this idiocy has become a thing. Thank you Douglas.

She starts attacking him personally rather than address the question and concern. This is the hallmark of the Identity Politics Movement.

Ava couldn't make her point, so just jumped into personal attacks on Douglas. I admire his calm, rational thinking.

[davidscanlon]

She made a comment about kids in classrooms wanting to be a cat with a straight face and then calls the most logical man in the room ridiculous!! Worlds gone mental!!

I DO NOT IDENTIFY as a woman. I AM a woman. I'm so tired of these ridiculous people trying to tell me what I am based on whatever their issues are.

[paltomori]

The safety of children matters more, than the feelings of anybody else.

[jovialgent]

So gender is basically personality. We have a word for that... it's personality! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[karinbenedetti]

Thank you Mr. Murray….you are one of the ones who honestly tells the truth…one of the very few😊

I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's. We didn't know anything personal about our teachers. We were there to learn, and that's it.

The old ad hominem argument Ava, a sure sign of a losing argument. How do they justify letting a 14 year old, who cant, bet, smoke, drive, leave school, or buy a beer make a life altering irreversible decision. Its Mad

[rangerwhite]

Douglas is 100 percent right in his assertions. Our children are the line in the sand when in comes to this indoctrination.

[charleslyall]

Douglas Murray is brilliant 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[lumav]

It's embarrassing to see a woman defending women's rights being taking away.

[LinaSydney]

Facts Douglas Murray! What he said about the poll is 100% true.

[pdizzle]

Douglas Murray speaks absolute facts and common sense.

[Blaze]

She attacked his character instead of what he said! typical behaviour from the lunatics

[derekmortensen]

Ten years ago this all would have been considered child abuse and there would be CPS workers coming out the woodworks. This is all sick and should be rejected in full.

[andrewbest]

She is horrible, an upper middle class elitist, who wants young men scared and would happily see innocent men put in prison on false charges because the accuser had mental health issues.
A very nasty bit of work

[Mzansi]

Signs of no argument:
1. Changing topic
2. Personal attacks

[shinobitatsujin]

She needs to speak to the topic, . she wasting her breath trying to make him look "wrong".
