We should not be surprised by this. The leaders of the Church of England are in thrall to feminism, an ideology derived from Marxism. They should be ashamed of themselves.

An insightful piece, particularly in relation to Sandi Toxic (Women’s Equality Party spokeswoman). Her allusion to Nigel Farage having lost a certain body part to cancer is deplorable. Would she think it acceptable for a man to joke about a woman who’d had a breast removed, due to cancer? Of course she wouldn’t. Under her carefully cultivated affable exterior, the woman is vile.

My thanks to Eldritch Edain, who runs the excellent Men’s Psychology blog, for publishing his response to an intelligent piece by Lucy Walcott, a feminist – I assume she’s American – on the subject of whether it can ever be justified for a man to hit a women. There’s enough insightful material on her Not Particularly Pauciloquent blog for me to add it to our list of recommended websites. Now I never thought I’d be adding a feminist’s blog to that list, and obviously we’d suggest she stops describing herself as a feminist (likewise Christina Hoff Sommers, come to that). I invite you to check her website out for yourself, and let me know what you think.

Why should Lucy stop identifying as a feminist? For the reasons outlined by Herbert Purdy in an article last October.

Our thanks to M for pointing us to a report on the BBC website. Another ridiculously lenient sentence, this time in France. I cannot help but look in such articles for the inevitable excuse(s). Inevitable because women must not be seen as having moral agency, as being the equals of men when it comes to being held responsible for their actions and inactions. The excuse is at the end of the piece:

Medkour’s lawyers blamed her addiction to alcohol and she apologised for her actions. “I’m not heartless,” she was quoted as saying.

The following lazy journalism is not unexpected in a piece on the BBC website:

French campaign groups say abuse by men against women is three times more common, but say as many as 7,000 men complain of abuse every year.

‘French campaign groups’, eh? Hmm, I wonder if they might be run by feminists, given that in the UK the figure would be 1.5 times more common (British Crime Surveys consistently report this ratio). And anyway, does the ratio matter? Should we not care about men such as Maxime Gaget?

7,000 Frenchmen complain of abuse every year, they say. Even if the figure is true, it’s surely a huge under-statement of the number of Frenchmen being abused by female partners.

Another excellent piece from Mr Purdy. I invite you to leave a comment on his blog, in response. His pieces deserve more comments than they generally receive.

Maybe feminist professors will be more careful in future, before posting ill-advised comments on our blog pieces. Well deserved:

InsideMan have just published this. It relates to the case of a boy born to an Iranian couple based in London.

MGM is at least as injurious to males as one of the four forms of FGM recognised by the WHO is to females, and leads to physical and mental health problems, and all too often death. Leaving aside the issue that FGM (in the UK as elsewhere) is invariably performed by women at the behest of women – one of the reasons there’s never been a successful prosecution for FGM in the UK – what if a father had the least injurious form of FGM performed on his baby daughter, against his partner’s wishes? Headlines like the following would surely be on the front pages of our newspapers:

Father circumcises daughter despite mother’s plea to save her from the procedure

The man would soon be arrested, and would serve a lengthy prison sentence. The mainstream media’s response to this and other tragic examples of MGM? Utter indifference.

Excellent.

Good to see Kathy Gyngell articulating some home truths that spineless business leaders and major employers’ organisations won’t in their relentless pandering to women, regardless of the impact. We see the same spinelessness with respect to increasing the proportion of women on corporate boards, with the FTSE100, CBI, and the government in an unholy alliance driving this initiative forward, despite being aware it will lead to corporate financial decline. It will in due course be extended to ever-smaller companies – the government is known to have a target of gender parity on FTSE350 boards – and will have a disproportionate impact on smaller companies.
