A Lidl anecdote

I witnessed a heartwarming little scene in Lidl this afternoon.

Ahead of me in the queue, having completed a huge Xmas shop, was a man, maybe in his 30s. With him were his very young daughter and son, both commendably well-behaved. The man accidentally dropped a penny from the change the cashier had given him, and while he carried on packing his shopping, his daughter picked up the coin, and dutifully held it up for him, craning her neck upwards.

He was very busy packing and didn’t notice her, but she resolutely kept holding the penny up, for some time. Eventually he saw her, gently took the coin, and thanked her. He and I made eye contact, and smiled. She saw us smiling, and she smiled, too. She then tried to pull the till receipt from the machine, but couldn’t summon the necessary force, so he helped her, and handed her the receipt. It was quite the most moving thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Have a good week.

Why are women above the law?

There are currently over 80,000 men in British prisons, and fewer than 4,000 women. William Collins has shown that if male criminals were treated as leniently as female criminals in sentencing terms, five in six of the men serving sentences in British jails today wouldn’t be there. His article is here. The government plans to close women’s prisons, and fill them with male prisoners. On this website we’ve published links to a huge number of cases showing that women are often above the law, very often because they’re given suspended sentences.

One form of paternity fraud is persuading a man (or trying to) that he’s the biological father of a child, when he’s not. It’s estimated millions of British men have been victims of this crime, and the scandal continues. For many years the CSA has learned of 500+ cases of paternity fraud every year, where men have demanded paternity tests, and thereby proven they’re not the biological fathers of individual children. So the state knows the identity and home address of many thousands of women who’ve committed this crime.

We can be very sure far more men naively believe the women in question, and then pay to support the child for up to 20 years, even if they’re denied access. This is financial and emotional abuse of men, and emotional abuse of children who deserve to know who their true fathers are. It’s one of the reasons we’re calling for compulsory paternity testing at birth.

How many women in the UK have been convicted of paternity fraud under the terms of the Fraud Act 2006?

None.

Men are far more likely than women to be incarcerated for serious crimes, and serve markedly longer sentences when convicted of the same crimes. An edition of the Mail on Sunday carried a report which brought down the red mist. When you read it, bear in mind:

– British men pay 72% of the income tax paid in the UK, £68 BILLION more every year than British women;

– 90% of the street homeless are men

– homelessness is a major driver of suicide

– the male/female suicide differential rose from 1.7:1 in 1983 to 3.5:1 in 2013

– suicide is the #1 cause of death of men under 50

So, what could reasonable people object to in the report?

1. The provision of a council flat for an 18-year-old woman on the grounds that she’d managed to become pregnant. This made her ‘vulnerable’ so the taxpayer has to fund her flat – near London’s Hyde Park!

2. She miscarried, yet was still in the flat 11 years later, and presumably would be there today but for the fraud she carried out.

3. She was on a good salary, and had alternative accommodation options, so how would she be more ‘vulnerable’ than a homeless person in London?

4. She sub-let the flat, whilst living with her boyfriend or mother, and netted £24,000 by doing so.

5. She lied about being penniless, but fraud investigators found an account with £11,000 in it.

6. She was found guilty of fraud but received only a suspended sentence.

Last week she avoided jail by agreeing to pay back £10,000. So the woman netted a profit of £14,000 from her crimes, took up the resources of the taxpayer-funded criminal justice system, and her punishment is…. nothing. Can we doubt that a man in the same position would have gone straight to jail? Surely not.

Another report, this one about a 21-year-old woman who stole £3,000 from her employer. Her ‘punishment’ was to repay £500 of the sum over two years.

Another report. What prison sentence would a woman who (with a female accomplice) buried her husband in her garden, and fraudulently received £77,000 of benefits in his name over several years, receive? The answer is here. The man’s body was obviously so decomposed by the time it was discovered, that it was impossible to ascertain a cause of death.

Women can sexually assault children with impunity – rarely being given prison sentences as a result – as we’ve frequently reported. A recent example is here. Yet it’s been known for 30 years that a majority of incarcerated (male) rapists were sexually abused when they were children by one or more women, sometimes their own mothers – here.

What might we conclude from these and countless other cases? It’s simple:

There’s one justice system for men, another for women.

Camille Paglia lays into Jessica Valenti, Laura Bates, Kat Banyard, Caroline Criado-Perez, Laurie Penny…

There are only two women in the world today who proclaim themselves to be feminists, for whom I have the slightest regard… possibly because they’re both clearly anti-feminists. It’s about damned time they identified themselves as such. One is Christina Hoff Sommers, the other Camille Paglia. Spiked published an interview with the latter yesterday. Enjoy.

Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer of England, is a sexist bigot… and why fat women are fat

Our thanks to Stuart for this.

We’ve published pieces on this odious feminist before, but she’s really surpassed herself this time. She’s now in line for a Toxic Feminist of the Month award. Extracts from the article:

Obesity is the biggest threat to women’s health and the health of future generations, warns England’s chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies. Her annual report, which focuses on women this year, said tackling obesity should be a national priority to avert a “growing health catastrophe”.

She said the food industry needed to do more or it should face a sugar tax. Dame Sally is also calling for better treatment of ovarian cancer and more open discussion on incontinence.

England’s top doctor said obesity was so serious it should be a priority for the whole population, but particularly for women because too often it shortened their lives. In England in 2013, 56.4% of women aged 34-44 and 62% of women aged 45-54 were classified as overweight or obese. Obesity increases the risk of many diseases including breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease…

Elsewhere in the report, the chief medical officer recommended that:

clinical staff be better trained to recognise and respond to violence against women, including female genital mutilation, domestic abuse and sexual violence

more research is needed to improve maternal and child mental and physical health

more research on screening tests, preeclampsia and foetal growth is also needed

children should receive integrated personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) with sex and relationships education (SRE) at school

a full range of contraception services should be available to all women, at all reproductive ages

Nowhere in the reported quotes from the woman is there any concern for the health of men, nor a recognition of existing double standards in healthcare provision, nor a recognition that obesity is caused by eating and drinking too much and/or exercising too little… but is it, specifically in the case of women? In Feminism: The Ugly Truth – shortly to be made available as a paperback, in addition to the existing ebook edition – there’s a short chapter titled, Why Are Fat Women Fat?. The mystery solved.

Kathy Gyngell: Dave’s legacy. The ruination of motherhood

Excellent. Kathy really hits the nail on the head with this:

He (Cameron) will go down as the man who presided over the institutional devaluation of motherhood. Who needs Labour and Harriet Harman when we have Cameron and his so-called Conservative Party (that has apparently no interest in conserving anything) leading the State’s feminist charge towards the destruction of families and the family life?

Cameron has won our ‘Toady of the Year’ award – presented to men in recognition of their support of radical feminist agendas, such as the destruction of families – four years in succession – 2012/3/4/5. Details here.
