‘I thought it was a mistake’: Australian university offers scholarship that favours men

Our thanks to Martin for this. Excerpts:

A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student, who asked not to be named, said: “I was really surprised. I really thought that it was a mistake – some sort of clerical error. Sexism exists in our society but I thought the uni held itself to a higher standard.”

Gender balance in vet science as a profession has reversed in the past 20 years from male to female-dominated, but the student said this did not justify the scholarship’s terms.

“Female graduates of vet school are still paid less, from day one,” she said. “Professor Edwards was a lovely man who did a lot of fabulous work. This is not about hurting his reputation.

“I just think it shows very little thought into the causative agents of under-representation of women in STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths]. The barriers that prevent men from entering vet science are not the same barriers that prevent women from entering every single other academic area.”

Grant [Imogen Grant, the women’s officer on the Students’ Representative Council at the university, i.e. a feminist parasite] conceded there were women-only and indigenous-only scholarships offered at the university, “but what distinguishes those scholarships is they are in place to procure benefits for people who face structural barriers to receiving an education”.

“To have male-only scholarships is to continue male privilege within society,” she said…

She [a university spokeswoman] said women were still eligible to apply, and that academic excellence would be “prioritised”.

“Of this year’s graduate entry for the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, over 90 per cent of the intake is expected to be female. This is a trend seen over the past five years along with an increasing trend away from rural practice.”

The federal government’s latest Job Outlook data reports that of employed vets, 19 per cent are male (full time) and 3 per cent (part time) compared with females 48 per cent (full time) and 30 per cent (part time).

Night czar Amy Lamé: I want to stop other women being victims of sex assaults on the Tube

Our thanks to Mike P for this. The start of the piece:

Night Czar Amy Lamé today revealed [correction: alleged] that she had been groped on the Tube as she pledged to tackle sexual assaults of women after dark in London.

There are CCTV cameras all over the London Underground, including in carriages. Why do the high-profile women who claim to have been victims of ‘sexual assault’ there not take their allegations to the Transport Police, for prosecutions to be brought? The answer is perfectly obvious. Their allegations are almost invariably false, and used to create a climate of unjustified fear among women, so yet more taxpayers’ money gets diverted to feminist parasites.

We thank Ms Lame (an appropriate name) for nominating herself for a Lying Feminist of the Month award.

Philip Davies MP speaks in opposition to the Aggravated Murder of and Violence Against Women Bill

Our thanks to Rod for this (video, 10:50). The House of Commons website page on the Bill is here.

The body language of the MPs on the government benches (including Michael Gove, to Philip’s left) tells you all you need to know about the government’s attitude towards men’s issues – they’re an embarrassment to these apparatchiks. Gove was formerly the Justice Secretary, in which role he did precisely nothing about the extreme anti-male bias of the criminal justice system.

A Canadian judge has been forced to capitulate to feminist groupthink

A tip of the hat to Barbara Hewson, an Irish barrister, for this, published by spiked.

From her Wikipedia page:

She is a critic of the modern social purity movement and of fourth-wave feminism, whose supporters she believes infantilise women as inherently fragile and vulnerable.

Miriam kicks off over ‘Mrs Clegg’ invite to International Women’s Day: Former deputy PM Nick Clegg’s wife shames organisers after they didn’t use her maiden name

Our thanks to William for this. I note the couple’s children are named Miguel, Antonio, and Alberto – it’s clear who wears the trousers in the Clegg household. And should we be surprised that Nick Clegg (as well as Ed Miliband) infamously wore the Fawcett Society’s ‘This is what a feminist looks like’ T-shirt? I think not.

Unspoken abuse: Mothers who rape their sons

The issue of sexual abuse carried out by women was covered in the longest of 20 sections in our 2015 general election manifesto (pp. 31-7). We linked to an American study (Petrovich and Templer, 1984) which found that of a sample of (male) rapists in one prison, 59% had been sexually abused as minors by one or more women, sometimes by their own mothers.

Sexual abuse carried out by women is a subject Toy Soldier has covered a number of times, his latest piece is here.
