Amnesty International in Ireland will fight order to return George Soros’s £137,000 donation for pro-abortion activism

A piece in The Irish Times. George Soros is, of course, infamous for funding ‘progressive’ causes and organizations. Breitbart too has published a piece on the Amnesty International in Ireland story. It ends:

Soros’s organisations have been working across the world to undermine nations’ cultures, autonomy, and laws, with Hungary most notably hitting back by pushing for legislation on greater transparency of foreign-funded NGOs and universities – both directly affecting Soros interests.

In response, the European Union has threatened Hungary with probes and legal action. Leaked documents reveal that at least 226 Members of European Parliament are considered “reliable allies” of Soros.

In late 2015, while we were searching for a venue to host ICMI16, we approached an Amnesty International venue in London which, on the face of it, could have been perfect. The venue staff refused to even have a phone conversation on the matter, denying us the opportunity to host a conference at the venue on the basis J4MB is an anti-feminist organization, and Amnesty a pro-feminist one. Amnesty were making it clear it didn’t give a damn about the human rights of men and boys as a class. Our blog piece on the matter is here.

Stanford law professor Michele Dauber calls for extreme violence against Brock Turner, 21, ex-Stanford student, because he’s appealing college sexual assault conviction

A tip of the hat to Justice for Men for this. The start of the piece:

As reported in the Stanford Daily Post, Michele Dauber, a Stanford Law Professor is advocating violence on Twitter against 21-yr. old, Brock Turner, who was kicked out of college and criminally convicted of sexual assault. The reason? Because he is appealing his case…

After denigrating his appeal in social media (the appeal has not been heard yet), Dauber then tweeted a song with lyrics calling for extreme violence against Turner:

Brock Turner/You’re the definition of scum
Get stomped on like old gum/I hope your face gets kicked in

I hope you never get a job/I hope you never get the girl
I hope you get tossed in a Dumpster/F*** Brock Turner

When confronted by a former female Judge, Dauber claimed the tweet was “satire”. Is this conduct fitting for a law professor? A teacher tasked with impartially educating law students now advocates for violence against a former student because he is appealing his case and exercising his civil rights? If the situation involved a male professor posting lyrics calling for violence against an accuser, do you think he would still be around?

Please join me in emailing Mary Elizabeth Magill, Dean of Stanford Law School, and calling for Michele Dauber’s employment contract termination or resignation. Her email address is emagill@law.stanford.edu.

Venice Allan, 42, kicked out of Labour Christmas party because her views on transgender rights ‘made guests feel unsafe’

Venice Allan, 42, accused the Labour Party of 'an appalling, Orwellian betrayal of women' after she was made to leave a Women's Network Event (pictured: Lily Madigan in the background of the photo)

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

A feminist campaigner was thrown out of a Labour Christmas party because her ‘anti-transgender’ views made a trans teen party member ‘feel unsafe’.

Venice Allan, 42, a single mother from Lewisham, known for her controversial views, accused the Labour Party of ‘an appalling, Orwellian betrayal of women’ when she was made to leave a Labour Women’s Network Event.

She claimed she was removed from the event by chair Olivia Bailey because her presence was making Lily Madigan – the first transgender person to be elected as a women’s officer – feel uncomfortable.

Valerie Curbelo, 24, threatened to kill everyone on US domestic flight after being asked to stub out cigarette

Extraordinary. The’re’s a short video at the beginning. The end of the article:

CBS 13 sent a reporter to the jail to get her side of the story. It didn’t clarify matters much.

“Why did you decide to smoke in the bathroom?” the reporter asked Curbelo. “That’s what they say you were doing.”

“The anxiety,” Curbelo said. “Yeah, the anxiety.”

“You were saying some pretty threatening things,” the reporter continued. “Like, you were going to kill everybody on the plane.”

She nodded.

He asked why.

“I don’t know,” Curbelo said. “It was not me. It was not me.”

Jo Pike, the Labour challenger of Philip Davies, seeks “to explicate the contested nature of power relationships played out between teachers, lunchtime staff and pupils within the spatial and temporal boundaries of the dining room” in four primary schools

Dr Jo Pike is the feminist ‘academic’ (i.e. parasite on taxpayers) who plans to stand against Philip Davies in Shipley in the next general election. Our thanks to a supporter for this, a link to a ‘study’ she published in 2010. It has the snappy title, ” ‘I don’t have to listen to you! You’re just a dinner lady!’: power and resistance at lunchtimes in primary schools’.” The full Abstract:

Over the last decade the school setting has emerged as a crucial site for the promotion and maintenance of children and young people’s health. Issues relating to the types of foods served in and around schools continue to dominate school health policy and occupy a central position in government attempts to avert impending public health crises expected to arise from the perceived ‘obesity pandemic’. While acknowledging the ways in which school food has become a lens employed to focus the medical gaze towards the regulation of children’s bodies, we need to be mindful of the tendency to regard these bodies as ‘docile’ and children as passive targets of school food policy. Rather, this piece seeks to problematise this view, seeking instead to develop an understanding of school dining rooms as spaces in which traditional power relationships between adults and children are contested and renegotiated. Data are drawn from an ethnographic study of four primary schools in Kingston upon Hull to explicate the contested nature of power relationships played out between teachers, lunchtime staff and pupils within the spatial and temporal boundaries of the dining room. In conclusion the argument is made that policy relating to school food is mediated by power relationships within schools. Rather than operating on static axes of power, these dynamic relationships constantly shift and are continuously renegotiated, redefined and contested.

The Guardian: “Sexual harassment ‘rife’ in schools but largely unreported, study says”

In March 2014 the odious feminist Kat Banyard, the genius behind UK Feminista, then 32, won our first Lying Feminist of the Month award in recognition of a downright life she’s uttered in the course of Jon Snow’s simpering interview of her on Channel 4 News in March 2013. She stated the following, and was of course not challenged by Snow:

What we know is, one in three girls at school experiences sexual harassment on almost a daily basis

The interview is here, her award certificate here. For those with the time to read the evidence that Banyard had lied, it’s contained in a piece I wrote for A Voice for Men in March 2013, Kat Banyard, Laura Bates, Finn Mackay: The noisy handful. Suffice to say that her claim was, of course, a grotesque exaggeration – as claims of the ‘one in three girls’ and ‘one in four women’ type invariably are. The issue of sexual harassment of boys in the study from which Banyard derived her claim, was of course not mentioned by her.

We turn to a piece in today’s Guardian, its headline a contender for the most stupid headline of the year, “Sexual harassment ‘rife’ in schools but largely unreported, study says”. It adopts the customary tactic of such articles, including unverifiable anecdotes, most (if not all) of which we can assume to be journalistic inventions. An extract:

Female teachers complain about sexual harassment by pupils. “I have been whistled at whilst trying to teach, and one extreme case where a boy pushed his crotch up against my back to intimidate me,” one told researchers.

Another extract:

The use of sexist, misogynist language is also widespread with 66% of female sixth-form students complaining they have either experienced or witnessed the use of sexist language in schools.

To feminists any language used by a male in reference to a female is sexist, so I’m only surprised that it wasn’t 100% of female sixth-form students who had ‘complained’. The ‘study’ to which the Guardian article refers is here.

Ex-page three glamour model Samantha Fox says David Cassidy (RIP) grabbed her breasts and put hand up her skirt in restaurant toilet

Can anyone seriously believe this, allegations made by Samantha Fox 32 years after the supposed incidents, and timed to coincide with a new ‘autobiography’? This isn’t the first sexual assault allegation made by a prominent woman against a dead man to increase book sales, and it won’t be the last. In January we presented Harriet Harman with a Lying Feminist of the Month award – here – for alleging a week before the publication of her book A Woman’s Work, that lecturer Professor TV Sathyamurthy told her she could have a 2.1 degree ‘in return for sleeping with him’, while she was a student at the University of York. The professor died almost 20 years before the publication of Harman’s book.
