Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss said macho culture in the City might be putting women off top roles and called for a shake-up. [J4MB:… or might not be?]

What exactly is “macho culture”? A competitive culture, in which men tend to do better than women, because more men than women are work-centred (by a ratio of 4:1, according to Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory), and are therefore more likely to compete and therefore succeed?

Liz Truss is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. In a more sane world, she’d do nothing more demanding than looking after the office plants. No man with such limited abilities would be appointed a minister.

We don’t need more female MPs.

Nostradormouse, Lynton, Jake, Richard, Rod, Ewan, Big Nose, Mike

I’m looking forward to our third meeting this year at Speakers’ Corner (Hyde Park, near Marble Arch) next Sunday, 10 February. We’re planning to attend more regularly this year than in previous years, every second Sunday.

As usually we’ll be meeting at a nearby cafe at 09:30 (if you’re known to us, contact me – mike@j4mb.org.uk – I’ll let you know the address) and we try to get to Speakers Corner around 10:30. We look forward to meeting you, whether it’s your first time there, or not. We plan to record video of the MRAs who engage in public speaking, and engage with members of the public, for our forthcoming promotional video of the location.

We’ll again be displaying large placards (see image from our last meeting, above) with the theme “Equal rights for men and women”, which you may recall was one of the key themes of the 2018 conference. We’ll be handing out the related leaflets, printed on both sides, here and here.

The largest placards (printed both sides) are more than a metre high, and cost about £30 each, but are very impactful and readable from a considerable distance, so…

Just received from Tina:

Hi Everyone,

Jordan Peterson is in Australia next week and I was thinking back to my long interview with him last year. At the time I considered taking him on about his reluctance to call out women’s bad behaviour  – which seems odd when he constantly tells men to pull themselves together. But since this was just after the Cathy Newman interview I realised that strategy was a really lousy idea.

When we did the interview I did make some pretty strong statements about women’s misbehaviour which in some areas seemed to make him a little braver. But he was still is very reluctant to sheet home women’s misdeeds.

I decided this week to put together a video about why men are so reluctant to criticise women – using my interviews with a number of prominent men to illustrate what’s going on here. I suggest that as an academic, Peterson is trained to avoid the wrath of the feminists who dominate his workplace.

Ditto Josh Zepps, who made a long podcast with me last year. Zepps is a great interviewer, happily exploring diverse ideas in his  wethepeople podcasts. But hs is a self-confessed “lefty”, works occasionally for the ABC and approached the interview with me clearly nervous of irritating his feminist friends. But I noticed I was able to embolden him by voicing strong criticisms of women’s duplicitous behaviour, which lead him to become positively brave by the end of the long interview.

Conservative men are equally reluctant to call out women’s bad behaviour but for different reasons. Here the problem is chivalry, old-fashioned adherence to the gynocentric ideal of women on a pedestal, whose virtue no gentleman would challenge. This form of benevolent sexism exploits men’s culturally-imposed desire to protect and show reverence for women. And that means they too wimp out when it comes to acknowledging that women can be very, very bad.

It proved a fascinating exercise pulling together my video showing how all this works. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwhWlm7YwV8

I hope you enjoy it and help me promote it.

FAKE RAPE CRISIS TOUR

A really scary development. I have discovered the National Union of Students had an agenda item on their National Conference Policy Document Policy called “Bye Bettina” which condemned my campus tour and offered funds for activists to run counter-protests against me. The document is here. Isn’t that wonderful that the compulsory student fees which support the NUS are being used to shut down free speech and allow feminist rape propaganda to go unchallenged?

Cheers, Tina

[Note added 4.1.19: The debate on YouTube is here.]

Yesterday’s edition of the BBC programme The Big Questions, specifically the discussion on “Is feminism in crisis?”, was even worse than expected. The presenter was a woman, predictably, Rachel Burden. Far too much time was given to the grisly harridans Sheila Jeffreys (English lesbian, now based in Australia, authoress of The Industrial Vagina) and Finn Mackay – on the right below, from her Facebook page, sporting a bow tie, with her partner (wife?):

So Ms Mackay (a waste of space funded by British taxpayers, mainly men) votes Labour. What are the chances?

Is it just me, or is Finn Mackay the spitting image of Stan Laurel?

She mentioned in the programme that she has a son. You have to feel VERY sorry for the poor mite.

Belinda Brown, the only person in the studio with any public profile as a critic of feminism, was given very little time to speak.

The ridiculous claim was made by the presenter that 46 per cent of British women self-identify as feminists, although we know from a Fawcett Society survey figure from 2016 that the true figure is only 9 per cent. So the BBC exaggerated the true figure five-fold.

People with a BBC licence can watch the discussion on iPlayer, here (from 32:09).

The Big Questions is a popular BBC1 discussion programme, broadcast live on Sundays, 1:30 – 12:30. We’ve appeared on it a number of times, in part because it’s as feminism-driven as the rest of the BBC’s output, and the live broadcast format suits getting some important messages over to the public.

Tomorrow’s edition (11:30 – 12:30) will include a discussion on the topic, “Is feminism in crisis?” It will be available on iPlayer lafterwards, we’ll post a link to that, watchable by BBC licence holders.

Caption in The Sun: American Michelle Vanbuskirk was handed a suspended sentence for drunkenly attacking cabin crew and forcing the flight to turn back to London

Our thanks to Steve for this. Extracts:

Michelle Vanbuskirk, 43, forced the pilot to turn the United Airlines flight back to London Heathrow instead of continuing to Washington DC in September.

She had started drinking before boarding the flight and was then found swigging on a bottle of gin on the plane as she repeatedly banged on the TV screen in the seat in front of her.

When stewardess Porsha Chaplain asked her to stop and confiscated the booze, Vanbuskirk started swearing and screaming…

The decision was taken to turn the flight back to Heathrow, forcing the 209 passengers to stay in London overnight before flying out the next day…

Sentencing Judge Curtis Raleigh said: “A prison sentence is almost inevitable with the sentencing guidelines so that is the starting point.

“But I have to take into account mitigation. Being a woman is sufficient mitigation in itself, obviously. However, for the sake of appearances, I’m required to come up with some shit to explain why I won’t be giving you a prison sentence, so here goes.

“You take anti-anxiety medication for a diagnosed panic disorder.

“You work colleagues and friends have called you a hard worker, generous, kind and warmhearted.

“The assault on board was reckless rather than deliberate.

“You have a prestigious job… if you are put into prison you will lose your job, be deported and banned from the UK.

“The behaviour is totally out of character for you.

We may have inserted a couple of sentences there, to explain in plain English what was going on.
