single person on earth who would object to Hadley Freedman being told what a despicable **** she is for this tweet?

Won't do you any good. She's one of those Guardian types. Do you think she gives a tuppeny fart about women, about Muslims, about feminism? No, she cares about being seen to be better than verminous Tories or anyone else who fails to engage in the groupthink.
Ignore her. Ignore all of her ilk. From Jones through Toynbee and Laurie to Chakraborty, the best thing you can do, for the sake of your sanity, is shrug and move on.
Why do you get the urge to be mysogynistic just because the person you disagree with is a woman, Monty? Tell us more about this deep hatred of women you have which leads to you believing in the moral righteousness of a highly insulting personal attack because she made a silly tweet.
It's not a confusion, it's an inevitable contradiction that has come about because they subscribed to an unintelligent binary world view in which there are merely 'right' people and 'wrong' people. This has rendered them incapable of believing that someone with 'wrong' views on - say - which political party to vote for - can possibly be 'right' about - say - the place of Islam in western society or its attitudes to women. This means that, if 'wrong' voices are heard attacking something to do with Islam, all the other beliefs of the 'right' person will be subordinated to opposing them no matter how inherently contradictory that makes their stance or how strange or distasteful the bedfellows they are required to make. This is why you end up with anti-racism campaigners hobnobbing with people who have uttered the blood libel or radical feminists happily supporting men who believe women should be entirely subordinate to their husbands.
The 'right' people genuinely believe they have a monopoly on morality and virtue and are blind to any other possibility. This renders them morally and intellectually bankrupt.
