Our thanks to Jeff for this. The insane harridan has spewed forth her opinions once again. Extracts:
Harriet Harman, Labour’s former deputy leader and a prominent feminist, has demanded the BBC appoint a woman as the next Doctor Who. She also said the new Doctor’s assistant should be a man, so she could ‘tell him what to do’…
Speaking at a Westminster lunch yesterday, Miss Harman [Miss, nor Ms.? Has anyone informed her husband, the perenially (and understandably) weary-looking Jack Dromey, of the impending good news?] agreed that the next Doctor should be a Time Lady.
‘Of course there should be a female Doctor Who but what we need is a man as her assistant,’ she said. ‘She has got to just tell him what to do, he will need that leadership.’
We should start a new award in Ms Harman’s honour, ‘Bossy Cow of the Month’. In the meantime, a number of pieces about her in The Daily Mash are here, including Women Still Face Discrimination, Says Jumped-Up Cow.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

Harriet Harman? Yep. She has a bit of a bee in her bonnet does she not?
Presumably a male bee…
I saw her name in the media last week… she was banging on about how some tosser (let’s be honest) of a university lecturer ‘came onto her’ some time during the last century when she was a student.
As some kind of distorted flattery (?) she still remembers it, holds on to the thought, and apparently still struggles to cope with it was an incident in her life. What a charmed life she must have led to hold that up as an example of her relentless suffering at the hands of men.
We would all agree Harriet, not good behaviour on the part of the university lecturer, but in the great scheme of things it was hardly serial institutionalised rape.
It reminded me of a time I was in temporary work.. stood at a work bench in an industrial assembly environment. A bloke on the shop floor who appeared a bit ‘dodgy’ walked past me to get a coffee. On his way past me he reached out and pinched my backside, then smiled a creepy smile over his shoulder…
Not nice. Not welcome. Did I wait for years to bitch about it on social media? No. I waited til he came back with his coffee. I walked calmly over to him, got close into his space, pointed my finger in his face and said firmly and quietly “You do not touch me. You understand”. He looked a little unsettled, moved back a little, and nodded. I walked back to my bench.
Job done. He did not do it again. If he had done we would have moved to ‘step two’ of the procedure which would have been entirely my decision. He didn’t take that risk.
My point being? -There are deviant individuals out there. Not ‘men’ as a class, as a group, as an entire gender, or even species, but deviant ‘individuals’. Hate to complicate things but individuals of both genders can be ‘tossers’.
I would suggest that women like Ms Harman need to learn how to look after themselves rather than spread generalised hatred towards any perceived generalised ‘threat’. She may then realise that in a sometimes hostile world EVERYONE faces hostility or inappropriate advances from other people sometimes : Not just her, not just women, not just girls.. EVERYONE. When she realises this reality she will hopefully be able to see that ‘men’ are not the enemy…but in fact that some ‘deviant individuals’ must be avoided and treated with vigilant caution. It’s called ‘looking after yourself’ and its what adults do.
Thank You Harriet Harman for the opportunity to point this out Hopefully she will one day learn to respect men in general in recognition of the fact that the vast majority of us are more than deserving of that respect.

Thanks for this. I think she invented that story about her uni lecturer, hence her ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award. Her new book has a series of allegations against men – mostly unnamed – which are just accepted as accurate by most people. In an admiring review of her book the Sunday Times’ political editor Tim Shipman touched on some of those stories without once conveying the suspicion she might have been lying or exaggerating at some points. Like many feminists she’s a narcissist who thinks she’s so attractive, and men are such base pigs that they can’t help themselves around her. Linda Bates is another obvious example.

I’m convinced of it otherwise how is the daughter of aristocracy going to have “credibility” in the Labour Party victimhood Olympics.

…makes sense to me Mike. I could add to my previous story that when I was at college during the first year, a mate of mine paired up with a girl on our course. They went out for a while. Then, in the second and third years, she ‘went out’ with the Head of Faculty. (..a bloke as it happens.. it was the 1980’s :-)). Presumably she enjoyed the attention, status , and ‘benefits’?… oh, and of course the meaningful intellectual conversations and dinner parties with other higher profile educators. She graduated that third year with a First Class Honours Degree… Poor little victim she must have been, all of it beyond her control at 22 years of age… and what a Big Bad Man he was towards her. (The word t–sser would suffice I think). My apologies here for slipping into a little sarcasm, but perhaps Ms Harman and those like her need to get out more and open their eyes to the ways of the world. But then I think they do mostly understand.. they just play dumb when there’s a benificial pay-off.

Given the perpetual sour face she displays I’d say the bee was in her knickers.

“demanded the BBC appoint a woman” Says it all really as if contracting an Actor to play a part is the same as some civil service job. But then I suppose behind the Iron Curtain it was!

I don’t imagine any will be surprised if the bbc obliges, we shall shortly see.
Personally, I think it essential that ‘mother nature’ be changed to… ok, you’re ahead of me, I can tell.
Also ships should be blessed with the words “and all who sail in him”.
“Sister organisations” — to “brother organisations”.
“Alma Mater” — to “Alma Pater”, particularly appropriate since ‘bounteous’ resources usually come from men.
Clearly, we should get the Matriarchy onto it.

How typically female to confuse bossiness with leadership. Petulantly dictating orders and stamping one’s foot when they are not done promptly enough or to one’s satisfaction is not leadership. But then, Batty Hattie never having been a leader, one cannot reasonably expect her to know that.
