Goldsmiths and Kings College London get rid of “women”

In an attempt to be more inclusive, Kings College’s Womxn in Physics Society and Goldsmiths Student Union have both adopted the term “womxn”.

“The latter, in a Facebook post promoting sports at the institution on November 20, said: “Why not give our Womxn’s Basketball session or Adidas Womxn’s Fun Run a go later on today?””

The laughs just keep coming from these institutions.

Our thanks to Ray for this piece in The Guardian, from a fortnight ago. An extract:

The paper, which covers many male-dominated industries, is keen to attract more women readers, with its research suggesting they are put off by articles that rely heavily on quotes from men.

Oxford Mail: American Circumcision – Spat over controversial town hall showing

A reminder that the Oxford Men’s Group is putting on a free screening of American Circumcision tomorrow evening in Oxford Town Hall, details here. We believe it’s the first screening of the award-winning film outside North America. Sadly I won’t be able to attend personally, as I have to be in London tomorrow evening.

The Oxford Mail has picked up on the story and published two pieces online today – here and here. The first has attracted 15 comments, some from MGM supporters, I encourage you to post you own comments. Thanks.

Women are strong!
Women are amazing!!
Women need sponsorship, additional support, mentoring, special events, workshops, flexible working arrangements, and so much more, compared with men!!!

Oxford: Esperance Hakizimana, 42, found guilty of illegally subletting her housing association flat since 2014, making a profit of almost £10,000. Her “punishment” – to pay back the money she stole, a fine of £500, and costs of £480.

If this is a deterrent to criminal women, I’m a great crested newt. The woman should be in prison. She’s made money at the expense of people who’ve lived on the streets of Oxford these past four years.
