Our thanks to an Australian MRA for this:

How many MRAs does it take to change a light bulb?

Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to hold back the feminist protesters who are complaining there aren’t enough women in light bulb changing.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. An excerpt:

Mrs Tippett was studying for a humanities degree at university and Mr Kerslake, who walks with crutches after hurting his back in a fall, was raising their four children.

Their 19-year marriage ended six years ago and Mr Kerslake has become estranged from his children, aged between seven and 22. [J4MB: He ‘has become estranged’ from his four children – between one and 16 when the marriage ended, if we read that sentence correctly – who he was raising until just six years ago. Hmm, might his ex-wife bear some responsibility for that?] He lives alone in a housing association bungalow in Llanharan, a village near Bridgend in south Wales, while Mrs Tippett works part-time in a church breakfast club.

Depressing news. The woeful woman was fired by Theresa May when she was Education Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities, and in the past week or two has spoken of the need to do something about the low number of women in senior positions in the Financial Services sector. Because with all the threats to the economy, that’s what the chair of the Treasury committee should be focusing on.

A tip of the hat to Lloyd Evans at The Spectator for this. The piece ends:

She [Miller] silenced the House with an amazing statistic. ‘Only one in five public statues is of a woman,’ she announced. And truly it is amazing to discover that some feminist academic has found time in her busy schedule to tour the entire national stock of public monuments counting up the bronze skirts and the marble trousers. And did her census include crucifixes? Probably not, even though the tally of semi-naked Jesuses would increase the male majority even further. But there’s a reason for this preponderance of masculine statuary across the UK. We poor men suffer dreadfully from anxiety when we contemplate the billions of female images – tens of billions in fact – that appear on our coins, bank-notes, passports and stamps.

But Ms Miller has good news. The hurt feelings of the Sisters are to be assuaged by the unveiling of a statue in Basingstoke in honour of Jane Austen. But hang on. Ms Miller has got her feminism back to front. Jane Austen? The founder of chick-lit? The patron saint of paternalism? The simpering bourgeois spinster who created a series of weepy Hollywood romances which promote and perpetuate the commodification of the uterus? True feminists will tear down this monument to ovarian enslavement and perform the rites of Sappho in the rubble. And I, for one, will be there to watch.

I’ve left a comment and invite you to do likewise.

This interview (audio, 8:33) took place on TalkRADIO on 30 June. It was prompted by the Nottingham MGM case we’ve linked to, where Dr Balvinder Mehat was charged with suspicion of inflicting Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent on a baby boy, and the boy’s paternal grandparents charged on suspicion of conspiracy relating to the same charge.

Our thanks to Rod for this, by a female journalist in the Women’s section of the Telegraph. She’s concerned about the ‘societal implications’, surely meaning ‘the implications for women’. The home-made Scarlett Johannson (£35,000) looks very impressive.

It is with considerable sadness that I report the recent death of Peter Leckie, 55, a former Trustee of Parity. He was a supporter of J4MB from the outset, and at his request I spoke at one of Parity’s AGMs.

Peter, a Roman Catholic, suffered serious back problems throughout his adult life, following a sports injury when he was a teenager. About 18 months ago, in frustration with conventional medicine, he went online and bought some drugs, which apparently resulted in a speedy decline in his physical health. In more recent times he contracted Motor Neurone Disease.

A short obituary in the Liverpool Echo is here, along with details of his forthcoming funeral.

Our thoughts are with Peter’s family and friends.

BBC1 is currently showing Venus Williams v Jelena Ostapenko, a Latvian player, at Wimbledon. When she serves, Ostapenko screeches like a demented parrot. The umpiress should cancel the match, but of course she won’t.
