What Jeremy Clarkson wrote about Meghan Markle was incredibly damaging – and not just for her.
To be a woman is to live with fear lurking behind corners. Keys are clutched between our fingers as we race home from the bus stop. We turn down dates in the most delicate manner to avoid potential rage in response. Young boys parrot the words of Andrew Tate and laugh. Members of the police joke about raping women. A woman is killed by a member of the police. A woman is killed. A woman is killed.
For anyone to think these things is concerning. To write them down – and to believe that “everyone who’s my age thinks the same way” – even more so, and it suggests that Clarkson has a deeply troubling way of viewing a woman he doesn’t know. But what should give us all the more pause is that these thoughts were published on a major news site. That isn’t just accepting or permitting these views, it’s promoting them. This is the normalisation of fantasising about violence against women in action.
But was that apology taking true accountability for the impact of these words? Prince Harry doesn’t appear to think so. “It’s no longer a case of me asking for accountability, but at this point, the world is asking for accountability,” he said.said sorry… but what for? A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the statement was a “PR stunt” and thatmentioned the “strong response” to Clarkson’s column, but made no mention of the actual impact of what he called a “clumsy reference”.
