Our thanks to Sean for this. Extracts:

Clearly, we’re going wrong somewhere. Men are socialised to feel ownership over women’s bodies, regardless of their pain or happiness. Women are conditioned to accept degrees of male aggression, and will often temper their response knowing that they risk being seriously hurt or even killed if they fail to comply… [J4MB: And the frequency with which husbands seriously hurt or kill their wives after being denied sex would be…?]

Consent can’t begin and end with dates. Consent can’t be the absence of a “no”. It can’t be an extra. It can’t be a one-off check. Consent [J4MB: From women only, presumably] has to be affirmative and enthusiastic every single time, from the first time to the last time. [J4MB emphasis]

The writer of the idiotic piece in the Independent is Hera Hussain. At the end of the piece:

Hera Hussain is the founder of chayn.co, a tech for good project supporting women and non-binary people experiencing domestic abuse [J4MB: She appears to have missed out men experiencing domestic abuse. We’ll get in touch with her, to alert her to her slip.]

The stated ethos of ‘Chayn’:

Everything that Chayn does has originated from a burning passion for gender equality, and for the emancipation and empowerment of women against overwhelming tides of patriarchy, oppression and abuse. Everything that Chayn does is to protest the patriarchal and misogynistic culture that still permeates the society. We don’t want to just speak out, but also act to stop it.

Our thanks to Sean for this. An extract:

World number one Michael van Gerwen has said the tradition should end.

However, former world champion Raymond van Barneveld is supporting an online petition to reinstate it. As of Saturday morning, more than 5,000 people had signed the appeal.

“I will really miss the girls!! For me they are a part of the darts,” Dutchman Van Barneveld wrote on Twitter.

Please join me in signing the petition, which is titled, “I want to keep tradition in darts and keep women in a job”.

Enjoy (video, 33:59).

The conference is less than six months away, ticket sales will end on 31 March. Tickets sold out for the 2016 conference, and with fewer than half the tickets remaining for the next one, we’re confident that too will sell out.

You have only four days left – until 24:00 GMT next Wednesday, 31 January – to take up the option of paying the first of three monthly interest-free instalments for your ticket(s), details here. We look forward to meeting you at what will surely be another very successful event.

We’ve just published this (audio, 10:59) on our YouTube channel. Yesterday, Jenni Murray interviewed the journalist Martin Daubney as well as Mark Rice-Oxley, a Guardian ‘journalist’ and mangina (but I repeat myself). Please leave any comments on the video link, rather than here. Thanks.

Our thanks to Ray for informing us that a woman on LBC this morning referred to the False Allegations Support Organisation.

Our thanks to James for this piece (video, 4:03) from Paul Joseph Watson.

The BBC rewriting of history, inspired by George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, rumbles on. Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

The BBC has announced the names of five “forgotten” women whose work they will now record and broadcast: Leokadiya Kashperova, Marianna Martines, Florence Price, Augusta Holmès, and Johanna Müller-Hermann.

In some cases, their pieces will be heard for the first time in a century; others will be played in public for the first time ever.

Alan Davey, controller of BBC Radio 3 and classical music, said it was “incredibly exciting” to “shine a light” on the composers, explaining:

“It means that we are not only expanding the canon of classical music, but also actually helping to redress its historic imbalance when it comes to gender and diversity. Can I talk off the record now? Thanks. Why has nobody ever heard of these women before? Because the quality of their work is bloody woeful compared with the work of the best male composers of their generations. But hey, this is the sort of crap you have to do to keep your job at the BBC these days, with the feminazis and manginas running everything. As I said, off the record, right?”

Our thanks to Mike P for this.

Up to now only the Metropolitan Police and Surrey Police had committed to reviewing all current rape and serious sexual assaults cases. Our thanks to Mike P for this. The piece starts:

Every rape and serious sexual assault case in the country is under review following the collapse of a number of high-profile trials in recent weeks, the Crown Prosecution Service has admitted.

Last night Alison Saunders, the director of public prosecutions, revealed that that the review would involve every force in the country in an attempt to improve public confidence in the justice system.

Hopefully the review will reveal the truth that “public confidence in the justice system” is utterly misplaced, that the CPS and police are deeply corrupt in this area, and have been for years.
