How are we still dealing with this shit?

papeekaboo.bsky.social•16 days ago

IDK, it's oh so tiring

liangrhea.bsky.social•16 days ago

I hope he knows he's punching well above his weight. Thank you for highlighting the gender bias 🤗🙏

pwilding.bsky.social•16 days ago

Poor stuff @journotoby.bsky.social

dragonlily.bsky.social•16 days ago

Horrible headline. To be fair, George Clooney has admitted many times his wife is far more intelligent and accomplished than he will ever be. He is probably as fed up with this shit as we are.

sevenworldscollide.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oxford male.

Celebrities get clicks. It's more about engagement numbers than misogyny. Which I fully acknowledge exists in our patriarchal system, I just dont think its the primary driver in this case.

ailbhe.bsky.social•16 days ago

If that was the case, they'd say Amal Clooney, wife of George Clooney....

But she doesn't even have her name front and centre. You have to click in and scroll to find it.

anotheroldwhiteguy.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sadly, I think we're both right.

millivanilla.bsky.social•16 days ago

Always heartwarming to see such a good looking and successful person staying married to their older, less attractive and less successful partner. That’s how you know it’s true love.

iannettleton.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well phrased!

defeline.bsky.social•16 days ago

Like why can’t they report this on her own merit? #shameful

thinkythoughthead.bsky.social•16 days ago

Another stonker @delbarrett.bsky.social !

plutonyum.bsky.social•16 days ago

If she weren't his wife this article wouldn't exist. So clearly the 'news' is that it's HIS wife, and not her accomplishment.

petramalusclava.bsky.social•15 days ago

Amal Clooney is an accomplished woman in her own right. The fact that her husband’s name made the title first is misogynistic & second antiquated but hey at least “someone” wrote about her.

whatchaknooow.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good for her!👏👏👏 Love this news.

lylescout.bsky.social•16 days ago

I heard she lets him do his little movie thing with his friends while she does the serious work in the family.

I always keep in mind that time when Newsquest thought it totally okay to accept £15,000 from the racist British National Party to run adverts for them.

#Framing ❤️

softsoulcomplex.bsky.social•16 days ago

Indeed. Awful from the Oxford Mail. Unsurprising, yet still awful. 🤢🤢😫😫

ailbhe.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ok, now you're my favourite person on BlueSky

paultjknowles.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is it that ridiculous? Would readers of the Oxford mail know her by name? She would have to be associated with her spouse/ partner otherwise readers would be like - and?

cheekyredhead.bsky.social•16 days ago

She did change to her married name (verified). However this article goes way overboard with associating her with her husband. I knew of her before she got married because of her work in international law and human rights.

anotheriain.bsky.social•16 days ago

I remember this - or another like it - from the time: https://www.thebusinesswomanmedia.com/amal-alamuddin-marries-actor/

Omg, thought I had just flipped into the 1950s there for a minute...🤔

cuevasbaza.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am sure he is very proud but also very worried because Trump has said he will seize all properties of spouses of ICC prosecutors and advisors of the cases against Israelis.

aquariously.bsky.social•16 days ago

Perhaps that's why she's moving to Oxford

arborvitaebloom.bsky.social•16 days ago

This attitude pisses me off so much

2s04dosrkzjd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Betting he is as are their kids.

berkemeyerjj.bsky.social•16 days ago

I believe he's even spoken out about this. In any event, she's way more accomplished than him.

pwallinga.bsky.social•16 days ago

One of the wildest true sentences of the 2010s: George Clooney married up

davidnice.bsky.social•16 days ago

Why not just give her name in the title and leave the 'wife' bit to the subheading.

joblogs.bsky.social•16 days ago

She must be proud.

thedivinemissm.bsky.social•16 days ago

He seemed to be quite yappy about Biden’s needing to step aside. Wonder what his thoughts are now.

mablume.bsky.social•16 days ago

Shame on you, Oxford Mail

andyroz.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's just so bizarre that still happens. Fey and Poehlers joke at the Oscars should have been the end of that.

westernzoo.bsky.social•16 days ago

I thought so too, that video went viral all over the world.

This was my immediate thought too

starwarswhisperer.bsky.social•16 days ago

Christ this again? These fools need to understand that women have an identity outside of being married to someone. I hope they get dragged for this.

beatnik69.bsky.social•16 days ago

Who is her husband? Should we know him?

heatcb.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well that headline can get in the bin.

sojaya.bsky.social•16 days ago

My young self would never have believed we would still be having to do this work. Cheers but sigh

msmitham.bsky.social•16 days ago

Who's her father? 🙄

davecl.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oxford has several schools of government?

dbcrouch.bsky.social•16 days ago

Being a visiting professor is not having a chair. She cannot use Professor as an honorific

beigewash.bsky.social•16 days ago

It is still impressive.

jennidore.bsky.social•16 days ago

🤦‍♀️ @journotoby.bsky.social really… you and your editor thought this sexist claptrap was ok?

I see Mail in the name and already figure they're all idiots!

Congratulations to the amazing Professor Amal Cooney!

bunnifem.bsky.social•16 days ago

literally wtf

auntie-social.bsky.social•16 days ago

He still owes us the Ohio movie

acripedes.bsky.social•16 days ago

The Oxford Mail has approached Mr Clooney for comment.

6thchakra.bsky.social•16 days ago

It takes a very secure man to marry up. I have massive respect for James Brolin.

alex990ism.bsky.social•16 days ago

Celebrity relatives are actually vanity trophy employees at british universities. And frankly this cult like behavior or worshiping of rich individualas is the exact phenomena and dynamic that got Trump elected!

cassampersandra.bsky.social•16 days ago

She's a human rights lawyer who has done a ton of good work. The post is highlighting the bias in calling her "george clooneys wife", not her celebrity status. She's a very accomplished person who is often eclipsed by her husband's celebrity status.

alex990ism.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oxford?
