Feminist campaign to criminalise flirting

Feminist M.P.s, including Angela Crawley (see image above) and Nicola Sturgeon with the Scottish National Party, are currently advocating for pick up artistry to be including under hate crime legislation targeting misogyny, specifically. Richard Lucas, leader of The Scottish Family Party, gives a very reasonable analysis (video: 18:50).

‘I want patriarchy to fear women’: Mona Eltahawy says the time for being civil, peaceful and polite is over

Our thanks to Douglas for this. Mona Eltahawy is a blithering idiot, even by feminist standards. Douglas writes:

Feminist writer Mona Eltahawy, in a recent interview promoting her new book that “radical steps” says steps must be taken to destroy the “patriarchy”, including “justified violence” against men. Aren’t we lucky that women are so peaceful and that there would be no violence if only feminist ran the world!

An extract from the article, in response to a question asking what the word “patriarchy” means to her:

I want people to imagine patriarchy as an octopus. The head of that octopus is patriarchy [J4MB: So patriarchy is an octopus, and the head of that octopus? That makes sense, at least in #WhackoFeministLand.] because that is the ideology that moves the eight tentacles of the octopus. And each one of those tentacles is what we call systems of oppression, or various institutions that oppress us. So it would be white supremacy, capitalism, misogyny, homophobia, bigotry, ableism, things like that. I want people to understand that patriarchy is not men. I’m talking about an ideology that uses systems of institutions and oppressions to privilege male dominance.

When the mask slips… #ThisIsWhatAFeministLooksLike

I posted the above image on Twitter last Sunday (6/10/19), after attending Speaker’s Corner – and the platform’s resident feminists did not appreciate it! I’ve had a busy couple of days since but have enjoyed logging in and reading their responses, every-so-often, immensely. Warning, the following includes repeated examples of bad language.

Some feminists are rude:

Many feminists have bought into the idea that feminism is solely responsible for all of my rights and freedoms as a woman (ie. that without weaponised gynocentrism and rabid misandry, I’d be at home – or in an asylum, disenfranchised, and wearing a skirt) and are fully sold on feminist revisionist history:

 

 

Other feminists believe that I’m still (unknowingly) oppressed, in 21st Century Britain:

 

 

 

I found the papal authority on who is and isn’t a feminist (phew!):

 

 

 

And a hilarious number of feminists agree that it’s ok to slut shame women, if they’re non-feminist women:

 

 

Then there’s Dr Strowbridge…

And the one that escalated:

 

 

These are just some of the deluge of responses that my post has attracted from feminists. I haven’t redacted their Twitter names, since it is a public platform, so you are free to respond to any of them – if you wish – but please be dignified, there is no need to stoop to their level, and please do not report any of them because sunlight is the best disinfectant and it’s best that everybody can see that #ThisIsWhatAFeministLooksLike!

Harriet Wistrich, Julie Bindel’s partner: Juries should be abolished in rape cases because they are biased against victims

Our thanks to Mike P for this. Harriet Wistrich has long been involved in efforts to deny men due process in cases of alleged sexual assault and/or domestic violence.

We refer readers again to an article by Janet Bloomfield, 13 reasons women lie about being raped.
