Student equality campaigners slam all-male University Challenge final blaming ‘hostile’ world of quiz societies

Predictable and pathetic. Excerpts:

Azita Chellappoo, equality and diversity officer at Wolfson College, told the Daily Mail that university quizzing societies can be ‘very hostile to women’…

She said: ‘The underrepresentation of women on University Challenge is a big problem.

In plain English:

Wah!

Wah!!

Wah!!!

One ‘solution’ to Special Snowflake’s ‘big problem’ will be understood by anyone with a functioning brain – feminists being excluded, by definition. Every seat of learning that wishes to put forward teams on University Challenge should field two teams, one all-male, one all-female. They should compete under University Challenge rules, and the winning team enter the official competition. The outcome in the final will inevitably be the same as last night, all-male teams. Cue yet more feminist whining.

Persona non grata

A tip of the hat to Tom Parker, the maker of this video (15:02). The full description on YouTube:

A parent normally assumes they have a legal right to bring up their child.

Taken from numerous first hand accounts, this 15 minute film shows how our legal system does not protect our children from a parent who is pathologically selfish. There is nothing written in law to uphold the equality that most parents assume is their legal right.

Tania Chikwature, 32-year-old ‘mum’ three times over the blood alcohol limit, lost control of her car in a high-speed crash as her 20-month-old son sat in the back seat. The car was catapaulted 14 feet into the air. She’s been jailed for 26 weeks for dangerous driving, no punishment for drinking and driving.

An appalling case reported by the BBC. I’m heartily sick and tired of female criminals being described as ‘mum’ in report headlines and in the reports themselves. It’s a bid to get unwarranted sympathy, when criticism and stiff punishment should be in order. You seldom see the word ‘dad’ used with the same intent, when used it’s usually to incite anger at the man in question, for being a ‘feckless father’. An excerpt:

Chikwature refused a breath test at the scene but after submitting a blood sample, through back-calculation officers found she had 246mg of alcohol in 100ml at the time of the incident. The legal limit is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

She was jailed for 26 weeks for dangerous driving and 12 weeks for drinking and driving, to be served concurrently, and was banned from driving for three years.

Would someone like to tell me what the point of the ‘concurrent’ sentences are, if not to avoid punishing the woman for the crime of drink driving, which was the cause of the accident which could have killed her, her toddler, and other road users? Her punishment is derisory, as it invariably is for female criminals.

August Lovenskiolds: ‘Women hate being CEOs – and they suck at it’

A tip of the hat to August Lovenskiolds for his illuminating analysis. The bottom line:

In 2012, 20 S&P 500 companies had female CEOs.

By 2017, 10 of the women were no longer CEOs.

By 2017, all the female CEO’s companies had fallen in the S&P rankings.

Government Equalities Office: Gender Pay Gap Reporting Goes Live

Appalling. Excerpts from a government website, containing not one sentence with which Harriet Harman or Jess Phillips would disagree – and this from a Conservative government!

Thousands of employers will publish their gender pay gap figures for the first time from today, helping break the glass ceiling [my emphasis] and create a more modern workforce.

The UK is one of the first countries in the world to require gender pay gap reporting and follows the government’s commitment to introduce the requirements at the last election. This is a key part of the government’s work to eliminate the gender pay gap… [my emphasis]

The UK gender pay gap is already at a record low of 18.1 per cent. These requirements will help employers to identify the gaps in their organisations and take action to close their gender pay gap. [my emphasis]

Ensuring that women have the same opportunities as men to fulfil their potential in the workplace is a key part of building a country that works for everyone, as the Prime Minister made clear in her first speech outside Downing Street…

As part of the new regulations, employers will be required to:

Publish their median gender pay gap figures
By identifying the wage of the middle earner, the median is the best representation of the ‘typical’ gender difference. Employers will be asked to use data from a ‘snapshot’ period in April to calculate this average.

Publish their mean gender pay gap figures
By taking into account the full earnings distribution, the mean takes into account the low and high earners in an organisation – this is particularly useful [for ideologically-driven campaigning purposes] as women are often over-represented at the low earning extreme and men are over-represented at the high earning extreme…

The new gender pay gap mandatory reporting requirements are part of wider work the Government is doing to support women [my emphasis] in the workplace. This includes £5 million to increase returnships, offering 30 hours of free childcare, and introducing shared parental leave and new rights to request flexible working. There is also extensive cross-Government work to get more women into the top jobs at the UK’s biggest companies and to get more girls taking STEM subjects at school. [my emphasis]

Professor Jordan Peterson: Postmodernism – practise and pathology

Jordan Peterson is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, and a key figure campaigning for free speech on campuses. We were interested in a video (54:28) – on his channel – of three speeches in February. Peterson talks for 12 minutes (23:04 – 35:05) on, ‘Postmodernism: practice and pathology’, and it’s well worth catching. His talk is followed by a discussion with the two other speakers.

First video footage from last Thursday’s anti-MGM protest outside the Thornhill Clinic, Luton

A supporter video recorded parts of our protest last Thursday, and is currently editing it. We’ll post it as soon as it’s available. In the meantime, herewith a short edited piece (4:24) recorded by my bodycam.

Women’s attacks on men’s employment and promotion prospects

In stark contrast to the feminist ‘glass ceiling’ myth – that men preference men to women in recruitment and promotion terms – the truth is that women have a far stronger in-group preference than men. My personal experience as a business executive over 30+ years was that men exhibit no such in-group preference. When men mainly recruit or promote men, it’s because there are more men of merit seeking recruitment of promotion. Steve Moxon covered the subject of gendered in-group preferencing well in The Woman Racket (2008).

There is no doubt that many men are finding the task of seeking employment and promotion more difficult, because women – sometimes through their roles in Human Remains departments – are manipulating systems in order to give jobs to women rather than men. Last week I was contacted by a psychologist, his story takes up the remainder of this blog piece, and is reproduced with his permission. The name is, of course, a pseudonym:

I am James Smith B.Sc. Psy (Hons); M.Ed (Open) and I need to bring an issue to your attention regarding education.

The primary drive behind this email is one of complexity. But, it does concern the reality facing men working in the Social Sciences. Obviously, I need to put this in to context.

I have worked all over the country with CfBT OFSTED; as an Agency Worker and as an independent specialist teacher. However, over the last 8 – 10 years I have been systematically restricted from teaching Psychology. This has been due to, not only women dominating the social sciences faculty, but also how it is suggested that men are not emotionally mature enough to teach Psychology (I have been explicitly told on four different occasions). [my emphasis]

For example, over 2016 I was interviewed for 3 separate Psychology roles (N.B. I must point out also, that the interviewing panel were all women) across East Anglia and each job was given to a female Sociology teacher that had a counselling degree. What interested me was the fact that the Job Specification asked specifically for a Psychology teacher. I explained at the individual interviews that I had achieved a Single Honours degree, which means that my first year was clinical psychology i.e. the first year of the single hons degree is equal to completing a 1st year of a PhD.

It has also been my observation that – generally in colleges – the social sciences dept. are dominated by women. In my last role as a Health and Social Care tutor there was only 2 men in the dept. i.e. around 10 – 15% and 10 – 12 women. If feminism is about equal opportunities for all – not just women – then why are social sciences dept. predominately female? The ironic thing here is that the interviewers at each interview asked questions about equality and diversity, but did not exhibit that in their dept. This is not only having a snowball effect on men teaching in the social sciences, but also on men studying Psychology or Health and Social care.

I could go on, but I hope you see the problem.

Belinda Brown and Kate Smurfwit on The Big Questions: ‘Would gender-neutral language be better for mankind?’

A big tip of the hat to Belinda Brown for her appearance in this morning’s edition of The Big Questions on BBC1. The second of three debates, ‘Would gender-neutral language be better for mankind?’ lasts from 21:08 – 39:54, and is available for 29 days. We have no plans to capture the piece for our YouTube channel.

As always Nicky Campbell gave far too much time to feminists – Kate Smurfwit was allowed to witter on at length, as usual – but despite this, Belinda’s contribution to the debate was substantial, passionate and insightful.
