Mansplaining Wind Farms

Keighley News gives an update about the controversial wind farm project in Brontë country:

Opposition is growing to controversial plans for a massive wind farm on moorland bordering Brontë country.

Campaigners say the planned 65-turbine development on Walshaw Moor, between Stanbury and Hebden Bridge, would have a huge environmental and visual impact.

Objectors include the Haworth-based Brontë Society. It fears the project would ruin the landscape for millions of people from across the world who visit to experience the surroundings that inspired the literary siblings and see ruined farmhouse Top Withens, reputedly the inspiration for the setting of Wuthering Heights.

Also opposing the scheme is Keighley MP Robbie Moore. (...)

"Whilst in Government, the Conservatives rightly placed a moratorium on onshore wind farms to protect our precious landscapes. It is worrying to see Labour now lift this moratorium and loosen National Planning Policy Framework rules.

Mr Moore will be amongst those speaking at a public meeting to discuss the scheme, at the Old School Room, Haworth, on Thursday, September 5, at 7pm. (Alistair Shand)

Wonkette reviews the 2018 Emily Dickinson biopic, Wild Nights with Emily:

The movie delves into the frustration that Emily experienced while trying to get her writing published, and the insulting dismissal of men who could not grasp that a woman could be intelligent and deserving of being heard. That was 1880. Over 140 years later and that hasn’t changed much in some places.

After mansplaining the Brontë sisters to her, an old man says to Emily,

“No man would want to marry a woman more clever than he.” (Ziggywiggy)
