Great article, heartening to see there are women out there who don't hate us.
May I suggest a look at this video. This brilliant young woman made a series of videos about feminism/men. She was eventually hounded out of youtube due to the massive harassment she received after her short series of videos and she also received death threats - from women. I cannot highly recommend this video enough. How sad she is no longer on youtube.
'Childcare' in the sense that the WEP means it, involves other women looking after WEP women's children. The childcare workforce is less well-educated, more working-class, more likely to be of BEM background than the women taking advantage of the provision. Plus ca change - the suffragists and the suffragettes were campaigning for votes for women like them.
good article - thanks Ms Brown
"- We need a more 'diverse' police force to 'better understand the survivors of violence' -"
Oh?
WHAT, exactly, do these ominous sounding words mean?
WHY, do we 'need' this 'extra diversity' in the first place?
Taken from society as they are, surely the police are already more or less as diverse as society itself - unless the suggestion is that it should be more 'diverse' even than that - somehow.
WHEN is it that this 'needs' to happen. Gradually, or in a "Great Leap Forward"?
HOW is it to be brought about - by general social consent, or by precipitous emergency legislation steam-rollered through parliament by a three line whip?
WHERE are these 'more diverse' police persons going to come from - some hitherto mysterious, unknown place wherein hidden ones patiently await?
WHO are they that will come forth and manifest their diversity all over us - surely not just a bunch of butch left wing zealots?!
So are we to finally conclude that the main job of work the police must perform is to go round delivering shed loads of "better understanding" about a pernicious political ideology?
I think I might just stick with Kipling's 'six honest serving MEN', - if that's alright with them.
Thanks for taking an interest in men - especially in genital integrity - https://hooded2016.wordpres...
I don't give up so easily.
Good. Please don't give up. This fight needs to be led by women such as yourself.
Excellent article Belinda - wholly agree with what you have to say here.
Because I’m a man I can’t have a baby. It’s not fair. Why aren’t these equality ladies doing something about that?
Good point about male homicides.
One group is FINALLY TELLING THE TRUTH: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The words 'Anita Sarkeesian' and 'telling the truth' are an oxymoron if said in the same sentence.
this is why you have to have brain cells to understand the point of satire. you fail at life lol!
I made a simple statement of fact, not satire or a critique.
I don't really agree that the way to combat this is to show how bad men have it, isn't it boring to hear interest groups compete about how tough it is?
In the end, let the market decide. If women are such pains in the family courts then men won't get married, which screws the women up. The greatest weapon men have always had is that, at a fundamental level, we just aren't all that needy. Men can shrug their shoulders and do something else and don't even have to join a talking group to handle the stress of it. They just need a hobby.
The women who take advantage of today's family courts are behaving logically, but hurting their unmarried sisters. They're unlikely to care. In today's Times a wife was awarded 90% of the marriage assets, even though the husband had earned all the money. Her needs were paramount and children are the get out of jail card that skewed everything in her favour.
These princesses expect to be kept for the rest of their lives. So much for equality and self respect. Until the balance is restored the rate of marriage will continue to decline. My suggestions would be to end pension sharing, which is legalised theft. In a financial settlement, the financial contribution at marriage and during the marriage should be taken into account. The main contributor on most occasions getting 60%. We all know some women regard marriage as the golden ticket that enables them to be kept for the rest of their lives.
They just need a hobby (lol) to distract them from marriage. Such as pornography?
Well, I was thinking of fishing, stamp collecting or football! :)
Ssshhh . . . the fainting couch feminists will want to ban those avenues of pleasure next. Don't you know philately promotes rape. Or something. It certainly sounds offensive.
I get your point but I really think it would take the wind out of feminist sails and speed things up.
Maybe, I'm just of the mind that the way to beat an strong competitor isn't to play their game, and boy are feminists expert at being victims! I doubt guys can compete there. We're unbeatable when it comes to indifference though.
I agree to an extent, but the market won't correct unless young men are actually aware of the risks marriage presents to them. Maybe 'Sex and Relationship' classes at schools should teach boys the truth about outcomes from marriage (or more specifically divorce), and the reality of their (virtually non-existent) reproductive rights?
Do you think boys would hear the truth? Or a very feminist version?
In the current climate, they will be told feminist lies. But they should be told the truth.
Yes indeed.
Tell young men about money and currency too.
How to know the difference.
How the only true money, is gold and silver.
Lawyers love marriage and divorce.
spot on!
The increase in the number of women on the board of listed British companies, has gone hand in hand with a decline in productivity a reduction in share value and a concentration on peripheral issues which do nothing to enhance company profitability!
A free ride and free stuff, all at the expense of the men in society. This is toxic femininity at it's worst. These women are blood suckers who will use all of the vile hatred of the feminist movement to suck as much out of society as they can before they destroy it.
WEP is just another facet of the feminist grievance and victimhood culture. Their biggest enemy are the hoards of women in this country who are at least reasonably content with life, and see no need to support this bunch of empowerment-bores.
"Sandy Toxic" - spot on.
I'd have more time for the 'Equality Party' if they started campaigning to get more men into teaching (all male shortlists anyone?), the NHS, in fact the entire public sector which is predominantly female. And also demanding that women become sewer cleaners, dustmen, road sweepers, steel erectors, electricity line men, in fact ever dirty dangerous job going that are guaranteed to be 99% male.
Don't think its very likely, do you?
So true. I note the prominent role of FGM in the speeches etc. And the very far fetched link with Board Room non execs.
It is indeed interesting that there is a new Party campaigning for exactly what both mainstream Parties already support.
As you say the very real inequalities and problems faced by boys and men and indeed non "professional" women are either ignored or lectured on (for instance the "false" ideas many women have about child rearing being best done by family).
Now in the real world boys and men will still have to compete. While it appears women squabble about spending the "spoils".
Of course we could decide that all working together rather than in camps might be a good idea. Many things men have to do ,they don't particularly want to, but actually we don't rush to get them comfy office jobs. So come on Sandi start tarmacking the road, reconnect the power lines, go on. She could even try carrying the Cameras or sound equipment on the other side of her showbiz life.
The beauty of the WEP is that if they contest seats, they will take more votes away from Labour than the Conservatives.
Thus the Left fragments itself like it last did in the 1980s.
The more lefty fringe parties there are, the longer the Conservatives will remain in power.
In 15 years time the WEP will be banned in the new Islamic Britain that the political establishment is busy creating.
True.
The Tories are ruling the UK with 24% of the vote of the total electorate.
76% didn't vote Tory last year.
There is but one single solitary Tory MP in all of Scotland.
This is the system we all love.
This is democracy UK style.
As it was when Blair's bunch were winning elections with a smaller vote share. I don't recall mobs of unhinged, frothing mouthed, masked lunatics baying for electoral reform and the overthrow of the government in the days immediately after the election back then.
Excellent article, Belinda. Jobs for the girls whilst they stand on the pain of the glass cellar, talking about love & cake.
No not jobs for the girls but cushy jobs for the girls.
Where are the real feminists demanding not that 50% of board members are women but that 50% of sewer workers and people on the bins are women?
True, James. The Patriarchy have excluded women from the homeless & suicides. So sexist!
Westerm feminism has always only been about benefiting the daughters of the upper middle class bien-pensants. It's not about real equality, it's actually "equality when it suits me"
Someone should ask Sandi why gay women in the UK earn 9% more than straight women? How is that inequality created, Sandi?
Labour & Tory leaders in Scotland are women.
SNP leader and Scotlands First Minister is a woman
It's just those awful Greens and LibDems wot let us girls down.
Men have too much of everything Everyone knows this.
The fact, that men voted for these three women to lead them, doesn't mean, that men don't have some nasty hidden agenda.
https://www.craigmurray.org...
I agree men do have too much...
Too much in the way of deaths in the workplace,
Too much in the way of suicide rates,
Too much in the way of a lack of male role models (teachers) at Primary and pre-school levels,
Too much in numbers of men murdered as compared with women.
Women are vastly under-represented in workplaces that are dirty and dangerous I've yet to see a feminist campaign calling on there being more women down the sewers, or emptying bins or on deep sea trawlers.
But the fact of the matter is that even in places where we're told that men and women are equal - in such enlightened employers as the Armed Forces - we know that in truth the standards set for women are lower than they are for men of the same age.
Thank you for this Belinda. An excellent article, and oh so very true!
Is the collective noun for feminists an 'Outrage'?
I think it's a 'coven'.
Perhaps an " Asylum" of feminists?
Only 45,000 members out of upwards of 25,000,000 potentials? Not good odds really.
