Some months ago I was pleased to have Sargon of Akkad, a British blogger/commentator, critique one of the London Live TV discussions in which I’d taken part, in a piece titled The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum. I imagine Dina Rickman, a ‘journalist’ also in the discussion, was less pleased by the critique. Her dire contributions to the discussion led to her ‘Whiny Feminist of the Month’ award.
The actress (note, not actor) Emma Watson recently gave what was, by all accounts, a very silly presentation about feminism and gender equality at the UN. I was determined not to waste any time on it, but Sargon of Akkad has just published an 11-minute critique of it on AVfM, which is well worth watching. Enjoy.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Well of course I had to look. Interesting in that such a prominent speech should both acknowledge the unpopularity of Feminism and dip a toe into some men’s issues. An obvious celebrity fest and dishonest promise of liberation for men, still delivered by someone clearly not in any way disempowered by her society. Even sillier will be the men daft enough to sign up. But the admission of unpopularity and recognition that an appeal to White knightery isn’t enough, well that is new from the UN. Interesting.
