A forthcoming Panorama documentary is going to be about abuse of the elderly in care homes. In the Mail Online report with video footage of ‘care’ workers abusing the elderly (link below) all the workers appear to be women. We’ll have to wait for the programme to see what proportion of the abusers overall were women. It’s often claimed that women are better suited than men for such work as they’re intrinsically more caring. Ha.

On feminism’s infantilisation of women
A terrific piece posted today by AVfM:
I must forward a link to Laura Bates, Caroline Criado-Perez…
Will someone change Laura Bates’s diaper?
Yesterday I posted a piece linking to Laura Bates’s recently-published book, Everyday Sexism. I posted some comments on Amazon, and later one ‘D.F. Dodds’ posted his (or her?) own comments, with the title, ‘Will someone change Laura Bates’s diaper?’
Western women today are just about the most privileged and pampered group in the history of humanity, but that doesn’t stop Laura Bates wailing like an incontinent toddler about how tough she and her sisters have it.
Seriously Laura, is this where 50 years of feminism has brought you and British women?
Time for you and the other infantilised whiners to grow up!
What an inspired metaphor – ‘wailing like an incontinent toddler’. I invite you to leave your own comments. Link here:
Victor Zen uses a power drill to…
We’re big fans of a 23-year-old American MHRA, Victor Zen. This is his new video, not a short one (23:59) but well worth watching from beginning to end. It’s mainly a critique of a talk given by a feminist at a TEDx event at the University of Georgia. If you don’t have the time to watch the whole piece, at least watch the section from 5:46 – 7:29, in which Victor finds a novel use for a power drill.

Laura Bates’s book has been published. Yippee.
Someone told me the other day that Laura Bates had compiled a collection of whines in a book (paperback and Kindle editions) with the inevitable title, Everyday Sexism:
Published by a major commercial publisher, the book is the #1 bestseller in the Amazon ‘Discrimination & racism’ category, #1 in ‘Feminist criticism’ and #2 in ‘Social issues’, proving there are a lot of whiny female book buyers out there. In her Amazon profile Bates is described as a ‘freelane (sic) journalist’.
I’ve just posted the following comments along with a one-star rating (Amazon don’t allow zero stars). Amazon have published the comments but pulled the links. I imagine Bates and others will whine at Amazon until it’s removed:
Just what the world needs, a collection of whines from the inaugural winner of our political party’s ‘Whiny Woman of the Month’ award. Her certificate is downloadable through this link:
https://j4mbdotorgdotuk.wordpress.com/laura-bates-whiny-woman-of-the-month/
Bates is one of those whiny feminists who complain about people trying to silence her, yet she and Caroline Criado-Perez (‘Lying Woman of the Month’ and ‘Whiny Woman of the Month’) are on the radio and TV with monotonous regularity. Of course there are a few sexist men around, but expecting the world to change, and sexism to end, infantilises women. Still, with this book out and presumably selling well to other whiny women – there’s never a shortage of them – Bates officially becomes a professional whine merchant.
I see men get a mention in chapter 10. Yippee. The difference between the sexism faced by women and that faced by men is that men don’t whine about it, they suffer in silence. If you want to get a sense of the sexism faced by men, visit http://thealternativesexismproject.wordpress.com.

University of Wisconsin to host first feminist biology post-doctoral programme in the US
Our thanks to James for this utter gem:
UW to host first feminist biology post-doc program in nation
Presumably the university will follow the feminist tradition of replacing ‘seminars’ with ‘ovulars’…
Unbe-leaf-able! Man grows world’s largest cauliflower which is SIX FOOT wide and weighs 20 times more than normal
Sometimes you can’t help but be proud to be a man. It’s almost always men who manage such great achievements:
‘What do you have to do to get sent to prison?’ Fury as female carer caught on CCTV stealing from frail pensioner who later died of the stress walks free from court
We really shouldn’t be surprised at the relentless stream of stories like this. Once again a woman walks free after being convicted of carrying out a cynical crime.
Man tips waitress $1,000 on an $80 cheque after hearing that she couldn’t pay vet bill to help her beloved dog who swallowed a ball
A heart-warming story from the US. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the story is that the man wishes to remain anonymous.
