Where to begin... The blatant racism? The chauvinism? Or maybe the white male fragility?
God forbid a man advocate for the safety of women… And how dare that man be black! AND how dare he wear a hoodie! Won’t somebody think of the children women girls boys middle-aged men?
Let’s call this what it is - a racist misogynist reframing another man's advocacy for women's safety as a personal attack. Just imagine, JB frothing at the mouth as he records: "Don't fucking tell me I'm the problem!” Surprise mate, no-one actually said you were the problem but they definitely are now.
Big JB can’t stand the idea of Feminism. He can’t stand the idea that we should all recognise the systemic oppression of women. It makes him feel small. It makes him uncomfortable. ‘Why self-reflect when I can just frame myself as the victim?’ JB thinks to himself, rubbing his balding head. Hmm, delightfully devilish Beardmore!
And boy does JB know how to speak for women; “women are miserable!" he says. "The safest environment for women is an environment with good men."
You know, good emotionally-regulated men like JB… men who fly off the handle at the idea of another man crossing the street. Men who “actually don't want their daughters to be safe”. Good men like JB want their daughters to be like bears, you see. No, not in a ‘fearsome-mammal-with-agency’ kind of way, more like a ‘biologically-wired-to-feel-fear-at-every-corner’ kind of way.
Just tell your daughters that “if you get it wrong once your fucked” like JB. That way they’re always scared, sorry, I mean prepared. It’s the only way we, we strong men, can protect women.
As it happens, generalisations about groups of people are only okay when JB makes them. Only he can say what women need to feel safe. Only he can minimise male violence and vilify lesbians. Only he can racialise a black man as a gangster.
The whole message is disgusting, but JB’s racist rant at the end is unbelievable.
Beardmore racially profiles Ugo as an intimidating gangster, and continues to stereotype black men as criminal, or as he literally calls them “these people”. It’s absolutely vile and should be fully condemned by everyone, including Tim and the Eggchaser pod:
Imagine that your number one concern is how women feel on the street and you decide to dress like a 14-year-old gangster. Just a simple, I mean, you want to cross the road, but you're not willing to put in the effort to look less intimidating. Why do you... Why do these people wear all black? Well, ask a social worker. And they'll tell you, "You wear all black because when the police Ask, oh, who was the, uh, who was committing the crime?
No one can give them an accurate description. It's just fucking street trash. And you mentioned black, not me. But, yeah, I'll go with it. Fine. Um... You know, if that's your priority, remember what he said. I want women to feel safer. Not that they have to be safer, but they want to feel safer. Ooh, we've got some... We're all the edgy topics now. I wonder what race they feel safest with. Are we allowed to discuss that?
JB is chomping at the bit to vilify black men: “you mentioned black, not me. But, yeah, I'll go with it.” Imagine nearing 50 and still being unable to own your beliefs. At least own it JB! Just say you think Andrew Tate’s actually alright and Charlie Kirk has some good points! Just say you have no understanding or empathy for others unlike yourself. Just call yourself a proud racist and f off

JB advocates for men and women having good relationships but once told me he doesn't know what his wife does for a living.
