Two young mothers who stole £800 of scooters and hair straighteners from John Lewis because security was ‘so lax’ walk free from court

Our thanks to Jeff for this. Here we go again. Why, damn that ‘lax security’ – how could women be held responsible for taking advantage of it? They’re not, of course:

Male workers at Welsh university win equal pay claim

Our thanks to Nigel for this gem:

While we were pleased to read this story, the idea of ‘equivalent pay for work of equivalent value’ was, of course, a feminist invention designed to push up the pay of women at the expense of men. How can you equate work done by men who work outdoors in all conditions, with that of women working as secretaries?

Janet Bloomfield interviewed by Paul Elam

We’re big fans of Janet Bloomfield (‘JudgyBitch’). So when we learned she was interviewed recently by Paul Elam, founder of AVfM, we looked forward to a treat – and having just watched it, we weren’t disappointed. It’s not a short video (a little over 40 minutes long) but it’s worth watching from beginning to end. I’m really looking forward to meeting her at the Detroit conference in late June.
