One of the useful things about running WordPress blogs – such as the three we run – is that you learn of the terms people have used during internet searches, which led them to your blogs. And so it is that we’ve just learned someone who googled the term ‘ladies in their knickers’ earlier today arrived at a blog piece posted on one of our associated websites, that of the Anti-Feminism League, in July 2013. It concerns the Fawcett Society. We hope he – or possibly she – wasn’t too disappointed:

Just when you’ve started to think feminists couldn’t get more whackadoodle, they prove you wrong:

The comment stream is worth reading, as usual with AVfM.]

After the recent debate at Durham University I was approached by Daniel Pryor, an engaging young man studying Politics, Philosophy & Economics at Durham University. He’d enjoyed the debate, and asked if I’d write an article for the online magazine of which he’s the Deputy Editor, The Backbencher. I’d heard only good things about the publication, so I agreed. The article has just been published, and I invite you to leave a comment after it. Thank you.

I can’t bring myself to comment on this story about the murder of 47-year old Glaswegian Daniel McEwan, who was ‘alleged’ to have touched his 24-year-old murderess on the chest, beyond reflecting on how little a man’s life is worth in Britain today:

An extract from the BBC article:

It was alleged Mr McEwan – who kept in poor health and rarely left his own home – touched McKelvie on the chest while at the property. This prompted Fleming to kick the father-of-two before Mr McEwan attempted to leave the flat. Prosecutor Bill McVicar said McKelvie then followed Mr McEwan out and struck him on the throat with a piece of glass. A dying Mr McEwan was then abandoned before a resident discovered him.

Our attention was drawn this morning to a report on the BBC’s website about an idiotic move by Lloyd’s Bank (link below). If you own any of the bank’s shares, now is the time to sell them. The share price has fallen by 3% already today.

But we were particularly drawn to some truly nonsensical assertions at the end of the piece from Vince Cable, Business Secretary. This has prompted our new public challenge, in the form of a FoI request, seeking the ‘clear’ evidence for his assertions:

140203 FoI request for Vince Cable

We shall, of course, be publishing the response. DBIS – along with other government departments – has never been able in the past to supply any evidence of a causal link between driving up the proportion of women in senior roles, and enhanced financial performance, and we confidently expect them not to supply any evidence now.

A lengthy (1:51) but very interesting edition of Erin’s show, broadcast yesterday, including some interesting material on Harriet Harman (18:38 – 20:26). The show was ably co-hosted by Portsmouth-based James Williams of Men’s Matters Radio https://www.youtube.com/user/Menmatters/videos.

Hot on the heels of the female professor at Yale who whined about gender discrimination when her contract wasn’t renewed, we have the unedifying spectacle of Sally Morgan, a Labour peer, whining because her three-year contract as chairman of the schools inspectorate OFSTED isn’t going to be renewed:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2549992/Michael-Gove-sack-Tony-Blairs-former-aide-charge-Ofsted-bring-person.html

The comments stream is well worth reading, and includes some apt references to ‘champagne socialists’.

Ms Morgan’s contract is due to expire this month, but she’s expected to stay on until the autumn, when a replacement will take over. There’s a clear pattern emerging here. Women land senior jobs – often on large salaries, courtesy of the taxpayer – and won’t resign when their performance has been woeful, or they whine when their contracts aren’t renewed. The whole point of fixed-term contracts is that they may not be renewed. Why do so many women have a problem with this reality, when no men do? They clearly want the rewards of senior positions, with none of the associated risks. People with such mindsets – people who don’t feel shame the way normal people do – aren’t fit for senior positions regardless of their gender.

Ms Morgan is whining about the Conservative-led coalition appointing Conservative supporters to such positions. Given the shocking extent to which the coalition has appointed Lefties to such positions since 2010 – a matter covered at length by Quentin Letts in the Daily Mail – I’d say about damned time! Especially in anything connected with Education, where Education Secretary Michael Gove is doing some good things. And let’s not forget he appointed the woman to the position in the first place – presumably a decisions he’s now regretting.

Ms Morgan would be in the running for ‘Whiny Woman of the Month’ but we’ve already presented the February award to Hannah Betts, a journalist. Some supporters have pointed out there are plenty of candidates to justify a ‘Whiny Woman of the Week’ award, but there are only so many hours in the day.

We were considering presenting Ms Morgan with a ‘Harpy’ award – previous winners have included Harriet Harman and Janet Street-Porter – but by chance a donor called this afternoon for a chat about the Sally Morgan story. He referred to her as ‘yet another entitlement princess’ and that’s when an idea came to me. An excellent website presents ‘Entitlement Princess of the Month’ awards:

When I’ve posted this piece, I’m going to submit Ms Morgan as a candidate for the February 2014 award. She’d be a very worthy winner.

Robert St. Estephe is an MHRA with an unrivalled reputation for tracking down and publishing material about the historical assaults on men’s rights by states, acting to give ever more privileges to women. Many of his pieces have been published on AVfM, and his comments there are always worth reading.

He’s just emailed over a link to a piece which he published yesterday on his website, The Unknown History of Misandry (link below). The World’s League for the Rights of Men was launched in Vienna in 1926 – 88 years ago – and Geoffrey Kimber founded the British branch three years later. Enjoy:
