Hi Everyone,

Plan for Sydney University – Wednesday February 27

It’s four months since I filed a complaint to Sydney University about last year’s violent protest against me and the University’s failure to enforce codes of conduct with regard to the key organisers of the protest. This protest led a national enquiry on campus free speech.

Since then Vice Chancellor Michael Spence has publicly dismissed the concern about that protest as a “circus”, claiming “Nothing really happened at Bettina Arndt’s event. In the end, she had her lecture, the protesters had their protest.” He has wrongly stated that my audience was not prevented from attending my talk by the protest – yet this only happened after the riot squad cleared the protesters from blocking access to the venue.

In the face of this indifference and inaction by the University, I am planning the first stage of a concerted information campaign at the university to warn male students about the risks the rape scare campaign poses.

Next Wednesday, February 27, we are planning a clandestine operation which I will tell you more about after it happens. But believe me, Michael Spence won’t be happy.

I urgently need more people to help me late afternoon and into the evening on that day, to hand out leaflets to students outside the gates of the university. I’m disappointed that  I have had so little response to my call-out last week seeking helpers.

Come on people! If this 69-year-old grandmother can do it, so can you. I really need a few more women and many men to help with this task. It is neither illegal nor dangerous. I’ll explain more when you contact me.

Next Stop – University of Western Australia March 7

I’ve finally managed to get my talk organised at UWA after endless frustration. It’s worrying that none of the student groups at UWA were prepared to host my talk. It just shows the power of the feminist groups on campus who have succeeded in intimidating other students – with the help of the National Union of Students which is using compulsory student union fees to fund protests against me.

In the end I managed to organise to host my own event, with the help of many people including a major organisation that provided the critical public liability insurance.  The university has required me to hire two security officers for within the venue – I’ll be using crowd-funder money raised last year to fund that. We’re also paying students to distribute flyers at campus entrances – the university will not allow me to post any publicity for the event, nor distribute material on campus. Plus I have a group of volunteers helping with this but we urgently need more – including some women. It is a far better look if there is a mixed group handing out flyers about this sort of event.

So we really need your help in getting the word out that this is happening. You can promote the post on my Facebook page or on my website. Or my tweet. It would be great if you could blitz all possible social media connected with UWA so we can get the message out to students and staff that this is happening. Remember, the goal is not just to sell tickets but rather to alert ordinary students to what is happening at our universities.

Here’s the link for buying tickets on EventBrite. Here’s the link to the flyer which you might be able to print off and post on noticeboards etc.

Note – It looks like we have also made it into the ANU – hopefully on March 12. More information about this soon.

An End to Family Courts?

In my book, #MenToo, I mentioned the decades I spent involved in family law, writing articles and speaking out about the horrendous damage being caused by our current system. I was appointed to various government committees trying to push through reforms and it has been a most depressing experience to see so many of those being wound back by subsequent governments.

I’m very conscious that I haven’t done much on family law in my YouTube videos, yet still I receive endless emails from people suffering as a result of the injustices that are commonplace in the system.

The most worrying issue is the impact on children and that’s why I am delighted to introduce you to David Curl who set up a wonderful organisation called For Kids Sake, which is getting real runs on the board in working towards proper reform designed to protect children during family break-up. I hope you will be impressed by his passion and intellect, his calm, strategic thinking. It is no wonder so many members of parliament are listening to him. David is working alongside Aaron Cockman whose children were murdered in Margaret River last year as a result of family law battles. I hope you will support their foundation.  

Here’s the link to the video – please help me spread the word about this important initiative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGBpoBH9820

That’s it for now. Until next time, Tina

In 2013 I wrote a piece predicting that there would one day be a feminist campaign for men to wear blinkers (‘blinders’ in the US) as used on some horses during racing. It seems I was prescient.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. The piece starts:

A man is set to stand trial after he was accused of propositioning a woman by winking at her in a pub.

Grezegorz Kwiecien is accused of repeatedly winking at the woman at Dexy’s Bar in Dundee, despite her continuously rebuking his advances.

Had Grezegorz Kwiecien (fine Scottish name) been wearing blinkers, the woman might have suffered less emotional trauma. Years ago, such newspaper stories would only have been published on April Fools’ Day.

Our thanks to Matt for this link.

Mr Afolami told Sky News he is looking forward to not working at a “million miles an hour” and getting “time to think” as he helps bring up his third child in the family’s Hertfordshire home, adding “being a female MP with young children is harder than being a male MP with children”.

Our thanks to Myfanwy Morgan – we suspect she might be Welsh – for this. An extract from the piece, you couldn’t make this s*** up:

Smith was given a 15-month prison sentence, half of which will be served in custody.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

A spokesman for the groups said: ‘Why are men willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a robot that obeys their smallest command?’

Adding: ‘A female robot cannot say no to something that the man wants, if she is not programmed to do so.’

The feminists said that the dolls allowed users to play out their violent fantasies, leading them to believe such things are possible with real women.

The true reason feminists wish to ban sex dolls is that they reduce the sexual power of women, as a class, relative to men. They oppose prostitution and pornography for the same reason. Feminists are incapable of considering relations between men and women through any lens other than that of power. It’s one of the reasons they’re so reliably miserable all the time.

Our thanks to hequal for this. As usual with such pieces involving mothers, the headline and content refers to her being a “mum”. Surely the only people who call women “mum” are their own children? Extracts:

A mum-of-four left a man with a permanent scar on his forehead after hitting him hard with a 4in stiletto heel on a night out.

Single mum Louise Kenny, who works for the NHS, struck Adam Welch with her silver shoe and left him bleeding after he told her to walk away from an argument…

Lowri Wynn Morgan, prosecuting, said Kenny got involved in an argument with someone she did not know and Mr Welch tried to calm things down.

Kenny was caught on CCTV holding her shoe with the heel pointing outwards and lunging at the victim’s face.

His brother took him to A&E at Nevill Hall Hospital where they had to wait for six and a half hours. [J4MB: Presumably they had to wait until all the women had been attended to.]

Sentencing her at Cardiff Crown Court, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke said: “All he remembers is blood running down his face and into his eyes.”…

He said he gets shooting pain around the scar and had to miss work to attend medical appointments. He is also unable to work normally due to dizziness.

Police arrived at the scene and, when she was arrested, Kenny said: “My kids. What about my kids?”

She said later said to an officer: “I can’t believe he wants to take me to court for this. It was his fault for getting involved. He deserved it.”…

The defendant said her behaviour was out of character and she would have gone home if she was sober. [J4MB: Wow. Just wow.]

Prosecutors said she had two previous convictions – both offences against the person – dating back to 1995 and 2011. [J4MB: So her behaviour was NOT “out of character”.]

Kathryn Lane, defending, handed the judge a letter from Women’s Aid [J4MB emphasis – a charity with a declared mission to reduce domestic violence against women, supporting a violent woman] and said her client was in an abusive relationship at the time. [J4MB: You never hear this defence when a man assaults someone. Do courts ever check the veracity of such claims, anyway? My hunch is they simply accept them, because it’s a well-known fact that women never lie.]

Kenny was jailed for eight months.

Our thanks to Jim for this. The two writers of the article are women – what are the chances? – and they start with this:

Four in 10 private companies that have published their latest gender pay gap are reporting wider gaps than they did last year, according to BBC analysis.

The BBC looked at a company’s median pay gap – that is the difference in pay between the middle-ranking woman and the middle-ranking man.

This is different to unequal pay – paying women less than men for the same work – which is illegal.

They could have made the point that the gender pay gap doesn’t reflect a problem other than through a feminist lens, which of course they don’t do, this being the BBC website (not that other media outlets are any more honest about the matter). The gap is assumed to be a problem, and the rest of the article reflects that perspective. You’ll be delighted to learn that when the gap is in favour of men it’s “positive” (the problem must be solved), but when it’s in favour of women it’s “negative” (no problem to be solved).
