Anne Rucchetto, 27, Canadian writer and “part of the BBC’s 100 Women series”, is a blithering idiot

Our thanks to HappyCheese for this, a ludicrous tract on why men should cover the costs of first dates. Mainly, because of the gender pay gap, innit? An extract:

Ultimately, equality is not the same as equity. Equality is everyone getting the exact same pair of shoes. Equity is everyone getting a pair of shoes that fits them. In good relationships, people will strive for equity.

Daisy Cousens: Why International Men’s Day has feminists freaked!

Enjoy (video, 11:26). Nobody does it like Daisy, a young Australian lady who I had the pleasure of meeting at ICMI17 in Gold Coast, Australia. She’s surely the only MRA in the world who could appear in a remake of Gone With the Wind in her everyday attire.

Women don’t want to work for a woman

Our thanks to Celia for this (video, 4:47) from 2015. At 2:45, Lucy Brogden (founder and patron, Sydney Women’s Fund) utters this, to enthusiastic approval from the women:

I’m always mindful of Madeleine Albright’s great comment, “There’s a special place in Hell for women that don’t look after other women”

So… most women (and men, for that matter) don’t want to work for a woman, so women should positively discriminate for women, and against men. Yes, that makes sense.

PROBLEMS with MEN: Privilege

Excellent video (20:33) from The Glass Blind Spot’s new series ‘PROBLEMS with MEN”. This episode examines the claim that straight white men play the game of life at the lowest difficulty setting.

Women gain higher earnings from degrees

Our thanks to Rick for this link.

In short: a study has shown that, at age 29, women graduates out earn women non-graduates significantly more than men graduates out earn men non-graduates. The assumption is that this is caused by the tendency for women non-graduates to take part time work or be stay-at-home-mums.

Margaret Thatcher has made the Bank of England‘s longlist to be the figure to feature on the new £50 note.

A tip of the hat to Guido Fawkes for this. His petition to have Mrs T on the banknote is here. But with Mrs T being one of 800 contenders on the longlist, we’re more likely to see Jess Bloody-Phillips appear on the note.
