Our thanks to a number of people for this. Extracts, emphases ours:
Last October, I attended Liverpool Fashion Week. Unlike its London counterpart, it was billed as an inclusive and diverse event, with female models of all shapes, ages, colours and sizes.
Rather less PC was the fact that those of us in the front row were served prosecco and muffins by muscular, tattooed male waiters wearing nothing but an apron, exposing their naked, hairy bottoms. Goodness! We were never served up anything like that in Milan.
Unlike the female reporter who last week ‘exposed’ the skimpy clothes worn by hostesses at the Presidents Club charity dinner, I had no need to go undercover to report on this blatant sexism: there it was, laid bare, inches from my nose…
Doubtless, the feminists wailing in the press and on social media are far too principled to deploy their looks as part of their armoury. Having said that, I know two high-flying female journalists who, despite their Oxbridge educations, used their breasts and much perching-on-the-male-boss’s-desk to get promoted. ’Twas ever thus, and always will be, no matter how many #MeToo hashtags clog Twitter.
Don’t take my word for it. A young woman I know takes occasional work hostessing at London events not unlike the Presidents Club. She explained: ‘It’s a type of girl who applies for those jobs. They aren’t idiots and they like being paid to look pretty and flirt.
‘Yes, they may bitch and moan with the other girls. But they go back because they enjoy the attention, the nice venues… the better pay than most other shift work.
‘You’d be moronic not to know what was coming. I was warned the dresses on one job would be microscopic; shorts were recommended underneath, but no one wore them because they didn’t want to ruin their “look”.’
This is not to justify sexual harassment, ever. It’s only to say that for all the talk of men abusing their power, never underestimate the ability of women to manipulate male desire to get what they want.
Feminism is the phoniest, most hypocritical and dishonest movement ever. It is outright shameful and should be banned.

It must be awful to forge a career in journalism only to watch a pretty 18 year old get paid more in a single night than you earned in the last month.

What would a pretty 18 year old do, to earn that much money in one night?

Hostess at an exclusive party for example.

And you think they’ll earn more than an experienced journalist in the course of a month? Please explain. Thanks.

It’s a class war. Pretty, working class girls can out earn middle class women and they hate it. If this does nothing else it should help women realise that their real enemy is other women, middle class feminist women in particular.

True, but twas ever thus. Look at how many epic political battles across the world have been fought between a male minister (who frequently rose on their own merits) and whatever tart was warming the king or prince’s bed chamber at the time.

Liz ‘Sperm-Jack’ Jones thinks that she’s being edgy by stating the bleedin’ obvious. Don’t worry, normal man-hating service will resume presently.

‘This is not to justify sexual harassment, ever.‘
A lot of what is currently considered ‘unjustifiable’ is so only because the meaning of harassment has been corrupted to criminalise what is perfectly normal and natural behaviour. Once we’ve re-established the proper meanings of so many similar politicised words we can begin to consider whether or not they actually apply to the actions that disapproved of.

Its always nice to the see unacknowledged other side aired in public. In these sorts of cases, the trad cons are bluntly a lot more honest then the feminists (ever see a Guardian writer mention that she’d been served by apron-wearing strippers; no, because as much as she might have enjoyed it, saying so would undermine the credibility of the Cause).
