Not-so-nice white lady Andrea Hardie — perhaps better known on the internet as Janet Bloomfield and/or JudgyBitch — is still ostensibly the Social Media Director of the fading Men’s Rights hate site A Voice for Men.
But with AVFM no longer grabbing the headlines it once, if briefly, did, the attention-seeking Canadian has apparently decided to hitch herself to the hate movement that’s really going places these days — the so-called alt-right, a loose collection of white supremacists, anime Nazis, and cuck-clucking Trump fans who enjoy trolling Twitter with hateful garbage as much as Hardie herself does.
Her latest publicity stunt? An almost gleefully racist Twitter tirade against Beyoncé and her fans as “feral animals” and “thugs.” As the singer’s fans took to Twitter to celebrate the premiere of Bey’s “visual album” LEMONADE, Hardie jumped into the fray with Tweets designed to offend:
UPDATE: Hardie’s Twitter account has evidently been suspended; I will replace the missing tweets with screenshots when I get a minute. Luckily the text remains:

When one Puerto Rican woman took offense at her not-very-well-disguised racist language, Hardie cranked the racism up further:

Hardie followed up her Twitter tirade with a blog post titled, with her characteristic subtlety, “Beyoncé fans are feral thugs, like her.” In it, Hardie managed to find an excuse to use the word “feral” five times, “thugs” and “thuggish” six times, and “animals” four times. Here she manages to use all three in once sentence:
What I am saying is that #BlackLivesMatter thugs can scream to high heaven they are just frustrated victims of racism, but their actions are those of feral, wild animals.
Beyoncé’s recent, Black-Panther-referencing, Super Bowl performance was “an attack on the police officers of America,” Hardie sniffs. LEMONADE is worse, a sign that Beyoncé has fully “embrace[d] the violent thuggery of #BlackLivesMatter.” And while Beyoncé’s music and music videos won’t
cause anyone to go out and shoot an officer … these thugs are already so inclined, and it sure does provide a nice musical background!
In her blog post, Hardie makes much of the fact that that some women responded to her racist Tweets with threatening language. “When I tweeted to the hashtag #Lemonade asking why Beyoncé was embracing such ugly stereotypes about Black women as feral,” Hardie writes, “a legion of her fans showed up to prove they weren’t feral at all! Good job, ladies!”
Hardie posts screenshots of Tweets in which women offended by her Tweets tell her to “shut up, bitch” and “die slow.” One women, whose account seems to have since been banned, threatens to “slice [her] like a f**ing cheesecake” as well as to do some exceptionally disturbing things to, and with, the penis of Hardie’s father.
While acknowledging that when people on Twitter threaten her, she “threaten[s] them right back,” Hardie for some reason neglects to post screenshots of any of her responses. Here are several of them, which may strike you as a tad feral, animalistic and thuggish themselves.

As it turns out, Hardie is something of an old hand at threatening Twitter foes with gruesome violence. Apparently she regularly fantasizes about flaying off the skin of her enemies, gouging out their eyes, and/or bolting their heads to cars and doors. Among other things.

In the interest of keeping this a SFW blog, I will refrain from posting a Tweet in which Hardie pulls out the c-word before threatening to “gouge out [the] eyes” of a woman before stuffing them up her posterior.
I will also refrain from posting a Tweet in which Hardie told another Twitter foe how much she would enjoy “bolting your head to the roof of my car” because Hardie, who regularly affects great concern over being doxxed, included what I presume is her home address in the Tweet.
There are more examples, many more. And she is not shy about threatening people off of Twitter either.
But I think the point is fairly clear. If we were to judge all white women by the Twitter timeline of Andrea Hardie, we would have to conclude that they are feral, animalistic thugs — with a rather vivid imagination when it comes to imagining how they might torture, kill and dismember their foes.
Despite her penchant for floridly violent threats, Hardie — the wife of a Canadian academic — has so far refrained from explicit racial slurs, at least on Twitter.
And while she has occasionally dropped the alt-right buzzword “cuck” — once when referring to me — she hasn’t taken up another alt-right favorite, the racist slur “dindu.” She seems content, at least for now, to stick with racial-slur-substitutes like “feral” and “thug.”
She feels no such compunction about using the word “faggot,” which she trollishly pretends is not the slur that it is.

And these are just from the past 24 hours. I left out the worst one, a crudely sexual bag of insults directed at the excellent @TakedownMRAs
Hardie, while perhaps not the credit to her race that she evidently thinks she is, continues to celebrate (as she has been doing for some time) what she sees as the superiority of “white culture,” or at least the more traditionalist aspects of it.

As that last Tweet suggests, Hardie not only apes the rhetoric and the obsessions of the alt-right; she has begun to embrace the label as well.

And then today, this rather inept attempt at blackface.

I suppose it’s only a matter of time before she starts dressing up as Hitler.

If you do check out that post, do some poking around in Hail to the Gynocracy’s archives. The site, which tracks the alt-right and other reactionary doofuses, deserves a lot more attention that it gets.
Dollar-Store Ann Coulter say what?
Ugh, I really can’t with her, today. What a grotesque, miserable person.
Good lord, she’s trying really hard to impress her new friends, isn’t she? Doesn’t she know that repeating this stuff over and over again is only going to get tiring? Come up with some new material, Janet. You’re stuck on repeat.
Oh, and nice job with the spray bronzer. You look like you’re from Jersey Shore now! You’re practically an American! Now you can not use your right to vote to not vote for Trump! Hooray!
Andrea seems to be channeling Ramsey Bolton, with the heads on spikes stuff. Wouldn’t such threats get you banned from Twitter anyway? Thought they were strict on that stuff.
I wonder how many of any of these Tweets have been reported. Then again, hardie’s a perma-ban scofflaw, so who knows whether Twitter would care.
Um…looks more like Trump-face to me.
And thanks for the shout-out too, Dave.
I’ve never known anyone who uses “SJW” unironically to be capable of having a proper debate. His twitter feed is full of insults and bigotry. Gosh, I wonder why people will accuse him of such instead of having a proper debate?
Well. Isn’t that a charming display of good manners?
No, wait. Strike that. Reverse it.
Normally, I’d think you have to be quite sheltered to find Beyonce anything other than light Pop.
@Pen: I’m just gonna leave this here.
Good grief, what an…unusual person. I haven’t figured out why she’s so enamored of bolting peoples heads to flat surfaces yet.
I’ve never cared much one way or another about Beyonce, but I did watch “Lemonade” and I liked it very much. I think it would have been my go-to “relationship drama/break-up” album if it had come out about 10 years ago.
Maybe she isn’t well versed in the lingo enough to know which words are dog whistles.
@ Paradoxical Intention – I guess white Americans do have a sense of humor then?
Just like how without Indians, Muslims, and Chinese there wouldn’t be modern math??
Also “eating dirt”? Nobody eats dirt. Dirt is not food. It will not sustain a person, no matter how “feral” you think they are.
To my understanding, Canadian laws on racial harassment is much stricter than American laws. Why doesn’t someone report her to the proper Canadian authorities? Or report her tweets to Twitter so that she can be banned like Charles Johnson?
Good on Beyonce for getting on White Supremacists’ nerves. I have always loved her music and really appreciate that she’s becoming more political and pro-Black women with her music.
Is that black face? She looks like she got into a fight with some cheetos and lost. I don’t know if I should be angry because of the racism, or just sad because it was done so pathetically.
I’m so far into feminism, such a fervent advocate of crushing the patriarchy, that–should Andrea Hardie run across me at her local teeny-tiny strip mall in Smalltown, Canada–she wouldn’t bother threatening me. She’s clearly an honorable woman. She have no honorable choice but to visit a slow, agonizing, horrible death upon me.
And yet even I am concerned about the well-being of Andrea Hardie’s professor husband, not to mention the well-being of his career. Her flirtation with neo-Nazis will not reflect well upon him in academia. Or really, anyplace where civilized people gather.
Won’t someone think of Andrea Hardie’s husband?! It’s clear that Andrea Hardie won’t.
@David
Uh, David, you know I’m a huuuuge supporter of your work. I read every post and, while I don’t always participate in the comments, I’m cheering on from the sidelines. I don’t question your feminist/ally credentials in the least. But in this case, even though we’re dealing with a garbage human like Hardie/JudgyBitch, I have to gently point out that on a feminist blog, to define a woman as someone else’s wife, seems a little out of place.
I hope you will consider amending this part of your otherwise excellent post, especially as it seems to have no relevance to anything.
Cheers, your Llama-rific friend and supporter
I don’t get her. When she came out against women voting I wondered if she was sneakily trying to undermine the Men’s Right Movement by making it look ridiculously extreme. But it seems like she’s just full of venom. She must have been awful at school.

This doesn’t actually have anything to do with JB, but I’m posting it anyway.
The alt right is cancer. Janet Bloomfield is just one of many examples.
Now I understand why ‘Harpo’ had so many supporters….
[‘Harpo’ = Mr. Stephen Harper, former Canadian PM]
*facepalm*
@ Patricia K. I don’t think that Twitter is specifically subject to Canadian laws…
That’s not blackface. It’s trumpface duckface.
Poor Andrea needs a hobby. I’d suggest crocheting — to combine her love of both things domestic and violently spikey.
