I'm sorry, WHAT? Alan Jones? The man who literally built his career on the most disgusting and threatening rants about what women he doesn't like 'deserve'? The man who I have spent my entire life FEARING meeting because I was convinced he would attack and hurt me for being a childless woman/trans person? THAT ALAN JONES?

Fuck off.
