The time has come for this monster to be exposed.

To those well versed in nursery rhymes from their childhood, they will easily remember the poem titled Georgie Porgie. Despite its presence for well over two centuries, it remains powerfully relevant today as the very time it was written.

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,

Kissed the girls and made them cry,

When the girls came out to play,Georgie Porgie ran away.

What’s led me to this was a tweet by one of the leading players in this space, who made an extraordinary allegation about a real-life Georgie Porgie on Medium, who is well known for being exploitative of women, who write here.

Shannon Ashley was quite canny in not mentioning the name of the real life Georgie Porgie, but starts by giving us a profile of the serial philanderer/misogynist.

And in subsequent tweets from Ms. Ashley, which I have carefully screen shot below, we begin to have an idea of how much of a monster this bloke is.
