We’ve had a huge number of hits on yesterday’s piece in the The Daily Mash about the man who rugby-tackled an obese woman in Greggs. Almost two years ago we posted a compilation of pieces from the same site, including one about Harriet Harman, titled, ‘Women Still Face Discrimination, Says Jumped-Up Cow’. Enjoy.

Our thanks to a number of people who’ve contacted us asking to view the response from the Department for Education following our public challenge of Nicky Morgan. There’s a link to their letter in a blog piece we posted at the end of July – here.

Our thanks to Francis for this. The gender gap in university attendance has hit a new high, with women being 35% more likely than men to attend university. From the article:

Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook said poor white males should now be the focus of “outreach efforts”.

She said much the same thing last year, and precisely nothing happened, predictably. We shouldn’t be surprised at the education gender gap. The education system was changed in 1987/8 precisely to create the gap, with the replacement of ‘O’ levels by GCSEs, as William Collins explained here.

Nicky Morgan MP is the Education Secretary, and Minister for Women and Equalities. As she’s not ‘for Men’, it follows that she’s perfectly happy about the education gender gap. In June we publicly challenged Ms Morgan about the matter – here – and the response from one of her officials displayed no concern at the Department for Education about the gender gap, and therefore no plans to reduce it.

As far as feminists are concerned, the system is working just how they want it to. I predict next year’s gender gap will be yet higher, and we can be sure we’ll again be reading comments like this in our papers:

Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook said poor white males should now be the focus of “outreach efforts”.

Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions, failed to respond by the required deadline to our FOI request asking for minutes of meetings she’s had since she took on her role, with organizations advocating for victims of domestic and/or sexual abuse. Her response is now EIGHT weeks overdue.

Our letter to Ms Saunders is here. We’ll publish a post each week on the delay, and email the Crown Prosecution Service each time, until we get a response.

There are a group of London-based MRAs whose activities include speaking in Hyde Park Corner. They call themselves ‘The London Group’ and their new YouTube channel is here. We wish them well.

Our thanks to Francis for this, a BBC piece concerning a documentary being shown tonight. Yet again, male victims of domestic violence – or death at the hands of women, directly or by proxy – will not be heard.

We highlight many examples of BBC anti-male bias here.

In January 2014, Newsnight broadcast a piece on domestic violence which violated 50+ of the BBC’s editorial guidelines. Our piece on the matter is here. We lodged an official complaint, detailing every breach of the guidelines, and it was contemptuously rejected.

An appeal was rejected, as was a second.

The utter futility of making official complaints to the BBC has meant we haven’t since devoted any more of our limited time lodging official complaints with them. The BBC is a bully.

The bully knows he’s bullying.

He’s not going to stop bullying, just because someone complains about his bullying.

Our thanks to Kevin for this. Nathan Muir is, indeed, a hero.

Our thanks to Toy Soldier for this.

Our thanks to Pat for this, an article by Brendan O’Neill, editor of spiked.

Our thanks to Chloe for this. Just the latest in a long line of silly uncritical articles penned by (mainly) female journalists about women and the world of work.

In August, Ann Francke, CEO of the Chartered Management Institute, won a Lying Feminist of the Month award for comments she made about the gender pay gap – the story is here. An extract from the Daily Mail article:

CMI chief executive Ann Francke said the notion the pay gap would ‘resolve itself over time’ without Government intervention was ‘flawed’, and that the problems facing both working mothers and non-mothers needed to be addressed.

‘In 2005 the pay gap for senior women was less than it is today, which may be very surprising to hear,’ she said. ‘The reasons for that are cultural. There are far too few women in senior positions. We talk a lot about the motherhood penalty, but I think we need to look broader than that … it affects non-mothers as well as mothers. [Would this be the non-motherhood penalty?]

‘It’s about the culture of success, about how we define who is successful, it’s about this long hours, presenteeism, not fitting work around the modern lifestyle.’

She added that women ‘did not aspire’ to succeed within a culture where deals were ‘nailed on the golf course’, [Another feminist conspiracy theory] and called for the Government to compel larger companies to publish their gender diversity statistics. [The government has already done this, at the insistence of feminists.]

There we have it. Work shouldn’t involve long hours, it should ‘work around the modern lifestyle’. She’s basically confirming the substance of Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory, which explains why only a minority of senior staff are women… while at the same time, calling for more women in senior positions. She’s just nominated herself for another award, Gormless Feminist of the Month.
