We couldn’t think of anything to say about this story which wouldn’t insult your intelligence:

Sweden forces girls n’ guns, boys n’ dolls ads
A depressing piece from December 2012, denial of children’s gender-typical differences:
Ever more evidence from neuroscience tells us that most people are born with gender-typical brains, but left-wing social engineers are immune to reason. From the article:
Four years ago, the franchise holder for Toys R’ Us and BR Toys, Top Toy, was demonized by Sweden’s advertising standards watchdog for the ‘sin’ of gender stereotyping in its Christmas catalog, which was guilty of displaying boys with guns and girls with dolls in its ads. Today, the toy franchise that spans from Scandinavia to Northern Europe is conditioned to see things the government agency’s way. Top Toy’s Jan Nyberg told Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra that her company was given ‘training and guidance’ from the advertising watchdog group about the way the retailer is to steer clear of gender stereotyping in its ads.
‘With the new gender thinking, there is nothing that is right or wrong,’ reported Nyberg. ‘It’s not a boy or a girl thing, it’s a toy for children.’ Needless to say, the Christmas catalog of Toys R’ Us’ Swedish offshoot has cleaned up its act since 2008 and averted condemnation by ridding its content of gender stereotyping. This year’s converted issue now dons a boy caressing a doll and a girl wielding a toy assault rifle.
Female prison guard who sent explicit video and texts to violent armed robber she fell in love with jailed for eight months
Another day, another story of a female prison officer ‘acting inappropriately’:
From the article:
Levens admitted she was ‘lonely and depressed’ and sought solace in the inmate’s interest in her. ‘I was obviously going through a bad time. I’m not saying it was right, but at the time I was not in the right state of mind,’ she told the judge.
‘I’m not saying it was right…’. Wow. And what male prison guard would ever think of saying by way of mitigation in similar circumstances, ‘I was not in the right state of mind’? It’s about damned time we eliminated the personal accountability gender gap.
Wife cried rape to keep her six-year affair secret just a month after her wedding
A (female) judge gave Jessica Gore (32) a suspended prison sentence. The ‘justice’ system has become a very sick joke.
Interview with Dr Helen Smith, author of ‘Men on Strike’
Helen Smith is an American psychologist, and the author of a book which has attracted a lot of favourable comment, Men on Strike. This audio interview (with Jerry Bowyer, from Forbes) is lengthy (51:36) but well worth listening to in its entirety:
Jenny Willott MP, consumer affairs minister: ‘Aiming toys at just boys or girls hurts economy’
Our thanks to J for pointing us to this gem:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26064302
In his email he asked a perceptive question::
Do these women MPs need to be sectioned?
Clearly they do.
We’ve added Jenny Willott MP to our list of candidates for the next ‘Whiny Woman of the Month’ award. If we had more time available, we’d replace it with a ‘Whiny Woman of the Week’ award. There’d no shortage of obvious candidates.
Quentin Letts on three Entitlement Princesses – Lady Sally Morgan, Lady Liddle (Catherine Thomson), Zarin Patel
A gem from Tuesday’s Daily Mail:
From near the end of the article:
The other BBC supremo who took a pasting yesterday was Zarin Patel, former chief financial officer. She was exceedingly grumpy and obstreperous – pouting like David Mellor’s less photogenic sister – when being interrogated by Tory MP Richard Bacon.
She kept talking about how the decision to press ahead with the digital initiative had been ‘our collective judgment’. What a coward.
Working at the BBC is said to be a hellish steeplechase of committee meetings, but all those committees do have their uses. They can help embarrassed executives dodge responsibility.
Paul Elam: ‘End of Whom You Say?’
A pithy response from Paul Elam to Hanna Rosin and her book The End of Men:
5 wacky things liberal feminists believe
An interesting piece from across the pond, where ‘liberal’ means ‘left-wing’. As it all too often does in the UK, to be fair…
Our favourite lines from the piece:
There’s a reason feminists are stereotyped as bitter, man-hating, trench harpies. It’s because most of them are bitter, man-hating, trench harpies.
Selfishness – OK for mothers but not for fathers
Few reasonable people would challenge the proposition that women who deny ex-partners reasonable access to their child(ren) are being both selfish and malicious, as well as emotionally abusing their chid(ren) and ex-partners. Is this selfishness deemed sufficient reason by the justice system to award custody of the child(ren) to fathers? No. So what happened when a man sought custody of his seven-year-old daughter, after his ex-partner died unexpectedly? On the advice of social workers, the girl is being sent to live with relatives in the United States:
