Joanna Williams is the education editor of Spiked, and the authoress of Women vs Feminism. Some weeks ago, before the resignation of Damian Green MP, she was on Daily Politics with the vile Jess Phillips MP. Our thanks to Mike P for this (video, 8:52).
“Smart Woman Explains How Men Are Getting Used By Women …” And who is to blame for that?

The Male MP was a good example. Deferring to Ms. Philips claim to be an “expert” and introducing the notion that the Police might prevent early disclosure of the complaint, when in fact only one of the “Pestminister” cases involved the police (if one excludes the dubious ex-police breaking confidentiality to “get” Green). All the rest (including those about the Welsh MWP) were too minor for law enforcement, and these days that’s a pretty low bar. So rather than simply stick up for standard good employment practice he simpered.

“the vile Jess Philips MP”
Heh heh, it almost sounds like a title when you put it like that, or one of those old fashioned story titles – Joanna Williams & the Vile Jess Philips MP.

There was a young toddler called Jess,
whose tantrums would scarcely impress,
her verbal excreta
too often would teeter,
on vomiting shite more or less.

Jess Phillips talks a lot about power. One hundred years ago women didn’t have the vote but they still managed to coerce millions of men to go and fight in WW1 by shaming any man who was reluctant to go. I think that is a pretty good example of how powerful women were even then let alone now.

Women have already had a great deal of informal power. What they’ve done in the last 100 years is add considerably to their formal power, whilst ceding none of their informal power. In the meanwhile men have lost much of their formal power, and have no more informal power than they ever did. It’s a bit rich for Phillips, appointed from an AWS, to talk a lot about power.

Yes, Phillips is using the traditional left technique of simple reversal – turning things back to front and thus upside down as well.
So well recognised is this (although perhaps not by ‘the general public’) it has it’s own acronym,
DARVO.
Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.
The beauty of this as far as they are concerned is that it is easy, simple enough for any numpty to use and effective.
Orwell makes use this when he refers to the ministries of Love, Peace, Truth and Plenty, from which it is clear what they really are….
