Feminist MP who battled men-only clubs has some explaining to do after this march

A top British politician and feminist who seems to hate normal, everyday men — particularly white ones — does, however, love her some Muslim men.

Meet Stella Creasy, a member of the British Parliament who eagerly attended a gender-segregated Muslim march in North London this weekend.

The annual Milad al-Nabi in London reportedly marks the birth anniversary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. As per Islamic rules, the march is gender-separated, meaning the men march separately from the women.

Watch the men marching by themselves below:

In response to the video above posted by Creasy, The Times columnist Jenni Russell tweeted to Creasy asking, “Where are the women, @stellacreasy? Why are they excluded?”

Creasy replied claiming women “are not” excluded. But she was lying. Indeed, in another X post, the British politician admitted that the women were segregated in their own march and defended this, arguing, “Many religions do have separate events and structures.”

You don’t say …

The hypocrisy was far too much for many critics who were quick to note that Creasy has in the past displayed the opposite attitude toward sex-segregated spaces involving, you know, normal people — not Islamic radicals.

Creasy spent years campaigning against the Garrick Club, a historical, private mens-only club in London that was founded in 1831. It’s basically no different than the male-only fraternal organizations you see in the U.S.

“For years, she’d been furiously demanding that the Garrick accept female members,” columnist Michael Deacon wrote on Wednesday for The Telegraph. “A male-only policy, she thundered in 2022, was ‘out of touch with the modern world.’ And, if it didn’t change, ‘membership of the Garrick Club should be considered incompatible with membership of the 21st century.'”

But when it to comes to the Milad al-Nabi march, on the other hand, suddenly Creasy boasts an entirely different standard.

“[D]espite being a self-proclaimed ‘proud feminist,’ Creasy did not deplore this male-only marching,” Deacon noted. “Quite the opposite. She jubilantly applauded these scenes as a glorious demonstration of inclusivity.”

Deacon isn’t the only one who’s noticed Creasy’s hypocrisy. So has legendary author J.K. Rowling:

In a lengthy X post, Rowling accused Creasy of being a selfish, “privileged” woman who only cares about herself and her own interests.

“Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women,” she wrote.

“By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers,” Rowling added.

Over at GB News meanwhile, commentator Cristo Foufas also took a stab at Creasy and her willingness to accept the Muslim march’s rules. In doing so, he echoed some of Rowling’s points.

“[F]ar from condemning the segregated nature of the Milad Al Nabi march, Creasy not only defended it, she couldn’t have been any more pious or condescending to her critics — mainly women — if she’d tried,” he wrote.

“[H]ow can an MP who has made such a virtue out of fighting misogyny, to the point her own website has an entire page dedicated to it, not only turn a blind eye, but actively celebrate such blatant segregation and sexism right in front of her?” he added. “Because it serves her politically, that’s why.”

He wasn’t wrong, because the fact of the matter is that selfishness, narcissism, and ego go together with modern feminism like a horse and carriage …
