One thinks of Mrs Merton….

Well we know we’re in “The Crucible” territory as unreported “rape” (still not actually reported to the Police) is conflated with hugging “too long” and knee brushing. I am amazed on one level at the silliness. At nearly 60 years old I can’t recall a time without some sort of entirely predictable scandal. Peers and MPs have always been good, while Vicars and Bishops have faded with their prestige and wealth as we became secular. Hollywood scandals well Douglas Fairbanks, “Fatty” Arbuckle, Chaplin, Hedren Vs. “Hitch” to “Sex addicted” stars and drug addicted studio bosses. Hollywood continues to be the gift that keeps on giving.
Perhaps the good news is that the scandals today aren’t paternity suits, debauched drug soaked parties, sexual depravity. No its knee holding, crude jokes and hugs. Even la Keunssberg seems to be losing patience with the triviality of it all.

“Female presenters did not do the cute researcher, even if he was the same age as them or older. Male presenters did the cute female researcher. And so on, all the way up the food chain.”
If we could have an honest discussion about the goals of female sexuality, without being screamed down by enraged feminists, many people in this country would be a lot happier. We could even be daring and try to look at the ways men and women differ (the ultimate taboo in a country where men and women are identical, unless a scientific study shows men are inferior somehow).
Of course we won’t see that as we are in the midst of a giant shift in power and norms towards female values. The feminists will deny this of course, and insist they only want equality; but it will be equality built around things that women say they want, not men.
What people don’t realize is the key to success in British society in the 21st century is higher education, which is increasingly dominated by women, and soaked in feminist values. Even the male graduates are ‘allies’ or appropriately cowed after they leave. The result is a power structure that reflects feminist priorities and norms, and regards questioning those as heresy.
But just imagine, in a perfect world where Jess Philips et al where dropped on their collective heads and woke up reset to their factory settings. Then it might be possible to get them to admit that women have sexual goals that differ from men – they like trading up materially with their men for example, find status to be an aphrodisiac, generally want to be courted (urgh), etc etc. Basically the opposite of what a man wants, which is a series of attachment free shags with as many women as possible, whilst having a faithful primary partner for emotional support and children (I never claimed we were any better than women…).
