On Laurie Penny
The fact that Laurie Penny has managed to make a complete hash of searching for an admin assistant to help with her book should not come as a surprise to anyone who has read her writings on a regular basis; of course she was going to be sexist and hypocritical about it – that’s what she does. I’ve not great desire to rehash the arguments about how idiotic she’s been. I do, however, have two questions:
1. Laurie, if you can’t afford to pay someone a living wage in order to do your grunt work, then why can’t you just do it for yourself?
2. Who the hell would pay good money to get Laurie Penny to put a book together?

Good point, well made.
She writes quite well as far as style is concerned. It's the content where it all goes base over apex.
But da youth love her. She brings out the inner Kevin The Teenager. Self-pity sells.

I'm not sure I'd trust her to. Perhaps best to start with the Duplo, eh?
"I'm not sure I'd trust her to [put a book together]."
Perhaps that's why she's advertising for slave labour?
