There’s no limit to women’s craven shamelessness. Where are the female commentators railing against WASPI? Or male commentators, come to that? Theresa ‘this is what a feminist looks like’ May will predictably cave in to these harridans’ demands, with male taxpayers (as always) footing 75% of the bill.

Feminist charity quits Scottish Women’s Aid network in dispute over male director
Our thanks to John for this. Extracts:
A feminist charity has quit the Scottish Women’s Aid network after being threatened with expulsion for appointing a man to its board.
The group, called Moray Women’s Aid, had accepted Graham Leadbitter onto their committee eight years ago but it was after his role was discussed at a national training day that umbrella charity Scottish Women’s Aid (SWA) warned they had breached conditions of their women-only membership…
In the resignation letter, Elle Johnston, services manager for Moray Women’s Aid said the appointment of Mr Leadbitter, a local councillor and a member of the White Ribbon campaign which works to stamp out violence against women, was based on merit.
She added: “It is whether you have the necessary skills and passion that is the most important, not whether or not someone has a beard.
“We have 10 members on our board, all the others are very strong females working alongside men to achieve equality for all. Not all men are abusers, [my emphasis] there are good decent men out there…”…
In a letter this week to network members, SWA (Scottish Women’s Aid) Chief Executive Marsha Scott said: “It recently came to our attention that Moray Women’s Aid has appointed a man to their Board of Directors.
“Moray Women’s Aid management team and board have confirmed they will not change their stated position… we are sorry that Moray has left our network”.
The letter, sent to all remaining members of the network, says the departing group has been “offered support” to change their position, adding “SWA appreciates that as feminists we will not always agree”.
While acknowledging that SWA’s articles include a commitment to reflect the diversity of Society, Ms Scott said they were also clear that membership is only open to groups staffed and managed by women. [my emphasis]
So, SWA is committed to reflecting the diversity of society, but demands that only groups which are exclusively staffed and managed by women can be members. Got it. That makes sense.
The article ends with some weasel words from the man at the centre of the story:
Graham Leadbitter said he had “huge respect” for (SWA). He said: “If this creates some debate about equalities, that is all well and good but I wouldn’t want to detract from that vital work”.
Women work 39 days a year more than men, idiotic ‘study’ claims
More BS from the BBC. According to a World Economic Forum ‘study’, women in the UK ‘work’ an average of 15 minutes per day more than men. This palpably ridiculous conclusion requires that ‘unpaid work’ be included, presumably including hatchet-faced feminists listening to Woman Sour or watching Loose Women. Life is too short to track down the report, but I’d be surprised if commuting isn’t excluded, because men do much more of it than women.
As a rule of thumb, work that is unpaid is more interesting and rewarding (other than financially) than paid work. I should know, as someone who’s done around seven years of unpaid work up to the present day. Maybe you could throw a pound or two in my direction, by buying one or more of my books.

Women Against Feminism
There’s a well-known website, Women Against Feminism, where women hold up sheets of paper explaining why they’re not feminists.
Our thanks to a lady for informing us of a Facebook page, also titled Women Against Feminism. It’s a closed group, which you can apply to join. She tells me there are a few men in the group, but they’re obviously targeting women. We wish the site every success.

Emma Rice: Shakespeare’s Globe boss to leave over lighting row
Our thanks to Francis for bringing us good news. He writes:
Do you remember her? She’s the silly cow who renamed the Shakespeare play Cymbeline as Imogen!
An extract from the (BBC!) piece:
The Times recently published an article headlined: “The Globe has been a success story – and Emma Rice is wrecking it.”
In a review of a recent reworking of Cymbeline, set in modern gangland Britain, The Telegraph’s Dominic Cavendish wrote: “I can’t see what this version is doing at Shakespeare’s Globe, or, if this form of hacking about with the canon is to be the new norm under artistic director Emma Rice, what the point of the Globe now is.”
In a review of the same show, the Financial Times’s Ian Shuttleworth asked: “One wonders – in what has already become a mantra during Emma Rice’s first season at its helm – what the hell it’s doing at the Globe.”
Rice nominates herself for a Whiny Feminist of the Month award:
Rice recently said the way people have talked about her since she took over the theatre has made her “blood boil” because critics did not use the same language about men. [A precis: Wah! Wah!! Wah!!!]
We do sympathise with Ms Rice over two things. It’s a little cruel of the media to repeatedly use the same photograph of her, taken immediately after she was presumably (from the state of her hair) struck by lightning. Also, her jumper appears to have shrunk in the wash. Maybe she should use the cool cycle next time.

‘American Circumcision’ film – $50,000 crowfunder to cover post-production costs, over $9,000+ raised in the first 12 hours
American documentary maker Brendon Marotta has been working on the film American Circumcision for over five years, devoting much of his own time and money to the project. He now needs $50,000 to cover post-production costs, without which the film will never see the light of day. We feel it’s an important project, and urge you to donate what you can afford to help make it a reality. Over $9,000 has been donated already, within 12 hours of the appeal launch. The crowdfunder is here. Thanks.

BBC 3 Counties Radio: ‘Sorry Mike, we just ran out of time. Really sorry!’
The 30-minute-long piece on 3 Counties Radio, about the use of sexual history as evidence in court, has just ended. I was called halfway through the piece, and the last contributor – at some length – was Lisa Longstaff of Women Against Rape, the organization we recently reported is coaching women into perverting the course of justice. When the piece was over, I had an apology from a woman working on the show, ‘Sorry Mike, we just ran out of time. Really sorry!’
This wasn’t the first time the BBC have used this tactic, and it won’t be the last.
