Our thanks to E for preparing this (audio, 20:02). The interview lasts until 15:16, after which Mike P takes over.

Janice Fiamengo has reached a mediated settlement with the female student who made a vexatious complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, her interview with Steve Brule is here (video, 48:04). Two years of stress and a frustrating resolution for Janice, as she outlines. A tip of the hat to everyone who contributed towards her CAN$15,000 legal fund.

Enjoy (video, 47:03).

Very good (video, 14:16). Karen draws on UK stats on the impact of fatherlessness, and introduces us to a word we’d never encountered before, in relation to chavs, an example of a backronym or bacronym. You live and learn.

Our thanks to a number of people for this (video, 7:54).

Times caption: Female MPs wear T-shirts supporting today’s 24-hour feminist strike

A piece by Graham Keeley in yesterday’s Times:

Spain’s first national strike by women is a victory for Satan, the Bishop of San Sebastian has claimed.

José Ignacio Munilla said that radical feminism had been infiltrated by demons and was harming the position of women in society. He made his remarks as Spain prepared for today’s 24-hour strike called by feminist groups and two of the country’s biggest trade unions.

The action is being staged by women who want more recognition from men for the contribution they make in the workplace and at home. They are also demanding tougher action on domestic violence and sexual assaults against women.

Queen Letizia has cleared her diary for what is International Women’s Day in a gesture interpreted as tacit support for the strike.

Bishop Munilla said that moderate feminism was a “just cause” but radicals were “committing a kind of suicide” because their objectives harmed female society. The right to abortion had caused an infant “genocide”, and many women had died terminating their pregnancy. He is against abortion even in rape cases.

His comments angered feminists and were criticised by politicians in the Basque country. María Álvarez, the spokeswoman for the strike, said: “The bishops’ comments are another attempt to try to discredit women on the part of reactionary forces just when we are building up to a historic moment in the feminist movement.”

Our thanks to Sean for this (video, 1:01:17). Normally we’re disinclined to post links to such lengthy pieces, but this is a video featuring Karen Straughan, so no further justification is required. The woman’s a legend. At the July conference Karen’s talk title will be, “Why women must consign feminism to the dustbin of history”. It would be worth attending the conference for her talk alone, but there will be 14 others. The list of speakers is here.

You can book your conference ticket(s) (until 24:00 GMT, 31 March) here.

They’re catching on.
