Our thanks to James for this piece in The Guardian. Women marching for gender equality, eh? Marvellous. Which of their many privileges are they prepared to give up to achieve this objective, I wonder? An extract from the piece, to give you a flavour of the intellectual content of the march participants:
Bea Miller, holding a sign that read “I rebel therefore we exist”, said: “I’ve been fighting for equality for women for as long as I can remember and feel like the time is now for women to finally smash the patriarchal system that keeps us all – men and women – oppressed.”
She added: “I think it’s fantastic that so many people have come out in this awful weather and we’re just saying ‘no more’.”
A group of 13- and 14-year-olds were also in attendance. One of them, Yuri Watanabe, said: “Women are being oppressed everywhere, even in places you wouldn’t even imagine. We came here to represent.”
Her friend, Zara Khan, said: “When you go to work it should be a professional environment and you shouldn’t be abused. So many women can’t say anything because of the power over them. It’s important to raise awareness and show support as women.”
Justice for Men & Boys 
‘A group of 13- and 14-year-olds were also in attendance.‘
I thought they were all 13 – 14 years old.

It says something when they need to enlist 13 and 14 year olds who know nothing because they have not lived long enough to.
And of course I’m preaching to the converted I realise, when I say why would women want mere equality when they already have privilege and advantage….

the demand for ‘equality’ or ‘women’s equality’ is never presented as something comparative but as an absolute. Feminists don’t want to be equal to anyone, least of all to men. It has far more in common with Chaucer’s concept of female sovereignty. We should have listened.

If women really were oppressed in this country, that march would have been a massacre, just like at Peterloo two hundred years ago. Instead its just another opportunity for feminists to trot out their tired old grievances and recycle them through the media once more.

The same old tired, generic claptrap…….do these women and those youngsters say anything that isn’t a cliche?

so basically
it was a waste of shoe leather by people feeling the need to blame someone or something else for their own failures or inabilities to accept responsibility for their own actions.
ladies do you really want to know who is the most oppressed group in the world with the least ability to defend themselves?
babies .. and specifically male babies who can’t say NO to MGM, nor do they have a plethora of chest thumpers, pearl clutchers and ambulance chasers to cater for them as they do for female babies for FGM.
maybe you ladies should be campaigning for a better education. one that teaches you to apply rational and critical thinking to any situation. one that teaches you empathy towards everyone else rather than your current favourite cause to “big you up”. one that teaches you to take responsibility for your own actions rather than blame everyone else( you do realise that its classified as domestic abuse when you blame others for your action?)
I get it that you feel the need to belong to something , like a great worthy cause, so how about belonging to the human race rather than a lost uneducated generation ?
