Our thanks to Martin for this. Extracts, emphasis ours:

After showing a 15-minute TED Talk by transgender ex-pastor Paula Stone Williams discussing the “reality” of “mansplaining,” “sexism from men,” and “male privilege,” the professor asked the women [J4MB: Thereby demonstrating female privilege] in the class to share their thoughts. When no women in the class said anything, Ingle spoke up, challenging the professor on biology and the gender wage gap…

Ingle objected to Downie’s “overall abuse” as a professor “indoctrinating” students because she won’t listen to the other side of a controversial argument.

“You can’t say that anecdotal evidence is fact,” Ingle said. “My professor pretty much just tried to shut me up because she was just letting women speak. I brought up the fact that biologists don’t agree that there’s more than two genders and I said the wage gap she’s referring to – 77 cents on the dollar – that even the New York Times debunked that.”

Our thanks to Sean for this (video, 1:24). 84 seconds of sour-faced feminists – including two manginas, one of whom uses the words “male, pale, and stale” to impress the wimmin. The short comments section is worth reading.

Just published (video, 10:59). The Human Rights Tribunal is a scandalous assault on the human rights of citizens by the Canadian government.

Regular commenter “Groan” posted some particularly insightful comments in response to the South Korea #MeToo story (South Korean women are being shunned in the office) we posted earlier this afternoon. We thought they merited a blog piece in their own right. He writes:

Well in watching the “Pestminister” story unfold I was struck by the similarity with my experience. Women find it incredibly hard to take responsibility, to “own” their issue. This means they leap to “procedure” or “policy” in an attempt to get someone else to address their beef. I think genuinely they don’t consider how disloyal and duplicitous this is. Hence so many of the men accused are genuinely taken aback at accusations from former colleagues or even those they thought friends (remember all “incidents” were in fact years past).

In my experience women quickly go “nuclear” to avoid directly addressing the smallest issue, with the most trivial motivation, and because they haven’t in fact any empathy with ideas of honesty or loyalty, they are genuinely completely at a loss at any adverse reaction.

I think this is why the advent of social media has proven so dangerous. As it gives an opportunity to make an accusation then “hide” amongst the “Twitter storm”. Almost none of the Pestminister “list” has resulted in any official complaint, because of course an investigation might involve such cowards in “put up or shut up”.

I hope “Pestminster” and “#MeToo” has taught men how very dangerous women are. In a sense it’s not their fault. They will never have been taught responsibility, because they never feel the consequences of their actions. They are dangerous precisely because they are literally irresponsible.

Our thanks to Martin for this.

Our thanks to Chloe for this (video, 1:06). Are there no limits to women’s self-obsession?

Our thanks to Martin for this.

Our thanks to Tom for this, on an American website. The gender balance with respect to preferring diversity or free speech is in line with what you’d expect, surely hinting that much of the problem of free speech being denied on university campuses stems from female-dominated student bodies. An extract:

Asked to select which is more important, about 53 percent of the students interviewed for the study picked diversity, versus 46 percent who chose free speech. This data is based on telephone interviews with 3,014 traditional-age students (18 to 24) at 100 four-year institutions, both public and private.

When the authors broke down the data further, they provided a clear picture of what certain campus demographics prioritize. About 61 percent of men favored free speech rights far more than a diverse and inclusive campus (39 percent). Conversely, 64 percent of women believe that diversity is more important, versus 35 percent who picked free speech.

Ken Dodd was funnier than all the female BBC “comedians” combined. A piece in today’s Times:

Sir Ken Dodd, the veteran comedian and fixture of British showbusiness, died yesterday at the age of 90.

Two days earlier the entertainer had married his partner of 40 years, Anne Jones, at their mansion in Liverpool.

Announcing the death, Robert Holmes, Dodd’s publicist, said: “He passed away in the home that he was born in over 90 years ago. He’s never lived anywhere else.”He added: “With Ken gone, the lights have been turned out in the world of variety. He was a comedy legend and a genius.”

A chest infection forced Dodd to cancel his 2018 tour dates. Speaking at the end of February after a six-week stay in hospital, he praised the staff who cared for him but hinted at other health problems: “I need to get my legs sorted out,” he said, “because they seem to take me in a different direction than the one I want to go in.”

Our thanks to Mike P for this garbage in the Mail. We’re going to see much more of it in the coming weeks as firms reveal their utterly meaningless ‘gender pay gaps’. An extract:

But some now have following pressure from campaigners. Sophie Walker, leader of the Women’s Equality Partner, said: ‘These figures show gender inequality runs through every level if the economy. It is scandalous that women still make up barely a fifth of top earners, and this discrepancy is not confined to those in well-paid jobs.’

It comes as the Women’s Budget Group, which analyses the impact of Government policies, warned of pledge to raise personal tax allowance to £12,500.

It said the increase will disproportionately benefit men because 66 percent of those who do not earn enough to benefit are women. [J4MB: Workers who earn over £12,500 disproportionately benefit over those who don’t. More men than women earn over £12,500, so men disproportionately benefit. Anything which disproportionately benefits men, regardless of the reason, is to be deplored. Anything which disproportionately benefits women, regardless of the reason, is to be welcomed.]
