Is there any evidence that Sarah Vine was singled out specifically because she is a woman ?
There are many possible reasons for singling out people in a list that just happen to coincide with gender, especially if that list is small.

A long list of a few dozen names where a dramitically disproportionate number of one gender were singled out for special treatment or a series of lists over time that showed a similar pattern of singling out a specific gender over an other would constitute a reasonable suspicition of gender bias.
However, a small list of 3 names on it's own is no evidence at all.

I haven't looked at the posters history so maybe you can enlighten us as to what pattern of similar behaviour you have witnessed to support that assertion ... or is it just a baseless accusation ?

Does someone need to directly call another person a name to use an article as an example?  I believe the title of the article was the example (although that was a generic 'witch hunt' rather than a direct name call).

My point was just that a woman writing an article calling other women out for raising complaints of inappropriate behaviour instead of just standing up to the people doing it probably wouldn't be bothered about being called a witch (unless she's massively hypocritical as she called herself exactly that in her Twitter account).

"We're" not going round in circles, but you seem unable to grasp the concept of using idioms.

She has of course called many people many things in the past......google it for some of her worst examples

and has referred to herself on her twitter profile as the "Wednesday Witch"

This was my question. The correct answer is “no”.

All the other bs posted by all 3 of you is deflection.

/end. I’m not going to argue my point any further. You do you.

I'm not deflecting anything?  As per my first port, I'd never heard about her until this thread and have only read the one article shared in which she gives the impression that labelling others isn't really a problem for her, so it seems odd that you've jumped to the claims of mysoginy?

Not saying it is the case here, but claims of misogyny amoungst others is used as 'faux outrage' either directly in defence of her(or the others mentioned) because of her(their) political views such as on Brexit and/or an attack or effort to devalue and discredit the comments of people with opposing political views.

On the left, outrage at perceived prejudicial comments or actions is a problem because it tends to be part of the core ideological beliefs of much of the left.
Some sections of the Left can and do actually believe innocent or neutral comments are genuinely 'prejudiced' without any credible supporting evidence.
That of course can lead to the devaluing of peoples acceptance of the significance and problems faced by those facing genuine prejudice.

Therefore, labeling a person or position that questions conservative values or policy as prejudiced has become a somewhat effective and automatic reach for tool in right wing debating arsenal.
