In March 2013 we posted a piece titled Female firefighters – coming soon to a fire near you? Fingers crossed! I was reminded of the piece – and others we’ve done on the predictable problems associated with female firefighters, such as New York City Fire Department drops physical test to boost female hiring, Why Dany Cotton, the London Fire Brigade commissioner, should resign (and why she won’t), 58 of New York’s 10,000+ firefighters and officers are women. $77 MILLION has been spent installing women’s bathrooms and locker rooms since 2002, Caring female firefighters to the rescue (so long as you don’t weigh more than 8st 8lb) and Feminists Slander Australian Firefighters and All Men – The Fiamengo File Episode 114.

It was of course only a matter of time before male firefighters were accused of “institutional misogyny”. The BBC’s piece on this matter is here. An extract:

One firefighter told the review that she advised her female friends not to let male firefighters in the house to give safety advice because “they go through women’s drawers looking for underwear and sex toys”.

But of course institutional misandry is okey-dokey.

Hi Mike.

This caught my eye because it’s so typical in terms of rough sleepers who die on the street, almost exclusively male, and to remind readers of our brothers out there in this season.

Jon’s story begins with a traumatic incident when he’s a teenager, which then leads on to self-medication through drug use, which disfigures his life with bouts of being “clean” and addiction. Motivating factor for rehab being to see his daughter, and his periods of homelessness being no doubt when he feels his daughter and partner are better off without him. And after a life of slow suicide he dies in a doorway in Hull.

His sister and partner appear to have cared for him as best they could, as did the good folk of Hull. But of course all through his life the standard response will have been his recovery was his responsibility and the initial trauma is “no excuse”. Being a working age man, he would have been at the very bottom of the queue for any help to get off the streets.

The story is all too familiar. Tragically the low priority in the “points” or “priority” system as a working age man who was “intentionally homeless” would no doubt have been matched by his own belief in his worthlessness. As you read it, the story is shot through with a sort of fatalism which assumes nothing could be done. A fatalism that is in total contrast to the public horror at the very occasional death of a woman living rough.

Just published. Heidi Crowter, who has Down’s Syndrome, is an admirable young lady, and we’re sorry (but not surprised, sadly) that she lost her case. On the BBC Radio 4 News at One, the presenter introduced a few words from Heidi, who said she (Heidi) thought it was wrong (and discriminatory) to kill babies with her condition up to the point of birth. This was followed by the presenter saying:

We’ll be speaking with a disability rights campaigner who takes the opposite view.

At that point I switched off. There’s only so much progressive propaganda a man can take.

Sign our petition urging Elon Musk to stop banning gender critical voices on Twitter

We’ve started a petition urging Elon Musk to restore the accounts of people expressing gender critical views on Twitter, e.g. the view that sex is biological and immutable and women can’t have penises. We think the number of accounts that have been banned for this reason runs into the hundreds and possibly the thousands. Here is one of the key paragraphs:

Some gender critical accounts have been taken down simply for asserting the view that sex should be defined biologically. Posts such as “Only females get cervical cancer”, “If you have a uterus you will be female”, “If you have periods you are a woman” and “Having a penis is what makes someone male” were all deemed by Twitter to be in violation of the platform’s rules against ‘hateful conduct’. But such views are not hateful. In banning gender critical accounts on the grounds that such views are ‘hateful’ – or banning accounts because they have ‘misgendered’ or ‘deadnamed’ trans people – Twitter is appealing to an imaginary consensus in favour of the view that it is transphobic to define sex as biological and immutable, or that self-declared gender identity should determine access to single sex spaces and services, or that people are entitled to compel others to use their preferred gender pronouns. No such consensus exists, which leads us to conclude that the reason so many gender critical accounts have been banned is because Twitter’s content moderators have taken the side of the transrights activists in this debate. If Twitter is to become the digital town square you want it to be, where free speech is sacrosanct, the moderators must remain above the fray when it comes to matters of ongoing public debate. They should act as holders of the ring, not political combatants.

Please sign the petition and help persuade Twitter’s new owner to lift the ban. You can find the petition here.

New research reveals generational divide on free speech issues

A new report for the think-tank Policy Exchange by FSU Advisory Council member Professor Eric Kaufmann has found compelling evidence that UK schools are becoming sites for indoctrination rather than education (Telegraph, Times, Unherd). The report surveyed attitudes among different age groups and found that young people are markedly less liberal than older generations on issues like free speech, democracy and the need for tolerance of dissenting opinions. Specifically:

• Nearly a third (29%) of 18-24 year-olds say author JK Rowling should be dropped by her publishers for her gender critical views – that figure falls to 10% among adults, and just 3% among those over 50.

• An equal proportion of young people (38%) agreed and disagreed with the idea of removing Winston Churchill’s statue from Parliament Square because he held racist views – among adults as a whole, 68% disagreed with moving the statue compared to just 12% who agreed.

• Two in five 18-24 year-olds agree that schools should “teach students that Britain was founded on racism and remains structurally racist today” while 25% disagree – adults as a whole rejected that statement by 53% to 24%.

It’s all too easy to blame ‘perma-offended’ young people for this generational divide, says Madeline Grant (Telegraph). But what about those she describes as “enabling adults”? After all, educationalists have long understood that teaching professionals are important role models, possessed of the capacity to influence the attitudes, values and behaviours of those under their tutelage. So when, say, colleagues of the philosopher Kathleen Stock turn and look the other way as she’s getting hounded on campus by transactivists (Unherd), or when senior academics fire off emails to students that denounce visiting speakers like Dr Helen Joyce and apologise for the “distress” her immutable biological presence on campus may cause (Spectator, Telegraph), or when academics instigate public discussions about how to cancel an early career researcher who has been investigating the various forms of discrimination experienced by gender critical feminists in academia (Spiked), or when… and so on and so forth – in those moments it’s difficult to believe that impressionable young undergraduates aren’t able to spot the moral of the story for anyone who wants to get ahead in life.

Joanna Williams seems inclined to agree, although the “enabling adults” she’s concerned about aren’t academics, but teachers (Spiked). So-called ‘activist teaching’ has been on the rise for a while (Guardian, Spiked, Telegraph), but what the Policy Exchange report reveals is that the politicisation of children’s education is beginning to have an impact on the views of young people. Polling commissioned for the report reveals that six out of 10 school leavers say they were either taught about ideas associated with neo-Marxist critical race theory or heard about them from an adult at their school. These include concepts like white privilege, systemic racism and unconscious bias. Slightly more – 65% – say they either encountered the concept of patriarchy or the idea that there are multiple genders from adults at school.

As to what we should do about it, Joanna thinks it’s high time activist teachers had some schooling of their own – the crucial idea that none of them seem to have grasped, she says, is that conveying subject knowledge and pushing a particular political view are not the same thing when you’re a salaried, public-sector worker in a western, liberal democracy.

Not that that would solve the problem overnight. As she readily concedes, there’s the rest of the ‘woke-pedagogic-complex’ to think about. Because behind every local, pink-haired, non-binary teacher forcing children to take the knee are the academics writing the school curriculum and textbooks, the university educationalists training each successive generation of teachers, the journalists and campaigners agitating for their own pet issues to gain a foothold in the classroom, and the people stocking the school library and putting together online resources for teachers and children alike.

Employee activists thwarted in bid to cancel academic conference

An academic conference in Glasgow was nearly axed at the last minute because LGBTQ+ venue workers were so upset at the thought of the event’s likely content that they “weren’t willing” to come to work (Christian Institute, Scottish Daily Express, Times).

The ‘Education not Indoctrination’ event was originally due to take place last Saturday at Civic House at the city’s Speirs Locks. Delegates including Dr Stuart Waiton (Abertay University), Emeritus Professor Frank Furedi (University of Kent) and Dr Penny Lewis (Dundee University) were set to debate the ways in which woke ideology is taking over schools and universities, and often has a ‘chilling effect’ on those who dissent from it.

Speaking to the Scottish Daily Express, Dr Waiton said: “This attempt to cancel the event is illustrative of the dangerous and deeply intolerant times we live in, where any discussion or disagreement about issues like race and gender are silenced. The whole point of this conference is to have a discussion about some of the dogmatic and ideological developments in schools, developments that clash with the idea of an open, liberal education for all.”

Jointly organised by education campaign group Hands Up Scotland, alongside The Christian Institute, Academics for Academic Freedom, The Battle for Ideas, Stand By Me (Scotland) and For Women Scotland, the conference comes at a crucial time for schools, particularly in Scotland, where the SNP-led government is at the vanguard of imposing woke values on society.

Take Education Scotland’s forthcoming Racial Literary Programme, for instance, with its content on intersectionality, anti-racism and “racial microaggressions” (Critic). Then there’s the General Teaching Council of Scotland’s renewed professional standards document, which states that “Scottish teachers must demonstrate professional values of social justice”. There’s also the Scottish Government’s new sex-education curriculum, which will expose very young children to overtly sexualised material and risks normalising underage sexual activity (Herald). And there’s also a new LGBTQ+ vocabulary (cisgender, transgender, bisexual, non-binary, genderfluidity) being taught in schools, and new government guidance on ‘Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools’, which advises teachers not to question a child’s desire to transition (Times).

Important issues, you might think. But not everyone agrees that any of this should be up for debate.

In an email sent a few days before the event was supposed to take place, Agile City, a “community interest company” which operates the Civic House venue, emailed the organisers claiming that the conference’s programme had upset the values of protesting LGBTQ+ staff who would refuse to come to work if the event went ahead. Agile City said: “The content of the event has just been highlighted to us via your online marketing, and through further research to be in opposition to the values held by our team and staff members who comprise part of the LGBTQ+ community. As such the staff who were booked to manage the event are not willing to work. Without staffing in place, we cannot host your event.”

What the whole affair reveals, according to Rob Lyons, “is the brittleness of woke thinking” (Spiked). It is one thing to be passionate about particular issues, he says. But it’s something else entirely to think that the mere airing of a different point of view is a threat, in and of itself.

Thankfully, the story has a happy ending – conference organisers were able to find another venue and the event went ahead at the city’s Tron Church.

Women’s rights campaigner attacked by pro-trans activists now threatened with arrest for ‘hate crime’​

Sussex Police has threatened a women’s rights group founder with arrest in connection with something she said at a feminist rally two months ago unless she ‘voluntarily’ agrees to be interviewed at a police station. Ironically, she and other protestors were attacked by transrights activists at the rally (Mail).

Kellie-Jay Keen, whose online campaigning name is ‘Posie Parker’, was told by a Sussex police officer that a complaint had been made alleging she had used “words or behaviour to stir up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation”.

Before the event in question – a Let Women Speak rally held in Brighton on September 18th – Kellie-Jay was sent threatening messages, including some advising trans activists to “fight her by any means you see fit”. Officers arrested two people at the rally after masked pro-trans campaigners clashed with attendees (Spiked, Critic). It prompted JK Rowling to tweet: “I see the Be Kind brigade are once more hiding behind their black masks, throwing smoke bombs, screaming ‘scum’ at women speaking up for their sex-based rights.”

Ms Keen has now released a recording of the phone call she received from Sussex Police, in which she was threatened with arrest (which you can listen to in full here). Pressed by her as to what the allegation was, the police caller replied: “The crime is use of words or behaviour to stir up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. It’s gonna be a voluntary interview so you can give your side of the story as well.”

But when the officer is asked exactly how voluntary the interview is, she replies: “If you don’t attend then we will potentially be looking at getting Wiltshire Police to come and arrest you so they can come and interview you themselves.”

Sussex Police has found itself at the centre of a series of controversies regarding gender and women’s rights and has previously been described as being “at the forefront of ‘woke’ politics” (Telegraph).

The force was subject to ridicule in 2017 after a sergeant warned high street stores that “feminine care” signs on women’s sanitary products breached gender equality rules. More recently, Sussex Police unveiled plans for a system where criminals can be recorded as having no gender or other identities (Independent).

In 2020, the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner trumpeted the inclusion of Sussex Police in Stonewall’s Top 100 LGBT inclusive employers.

Earlier this year, approximately three dozen officers, including Chief Constable Jo Shiner, celebrated this year’s Brighton LGBTQ+ Pride event by posing in rainbow colours and tweeting “Have a ‘fabuloso’ time!” (Breitbart).

In September, the force was criticised by Home Secretary Suella Braverman for “playing identity politics and denying biology” after its Twitter account leapt to the defence of a male paedophile who identified as a woman and who had been misgendered online, warning social media users that they could be committing a hate crime and suggesting that “if you have gender critical views you wish to express this can be done on other platforms or your own page, not targeted at an individual” (Spectator, Telegraph).

Why do so many women have it in for male cyclists? All the jokes about unsightly Middle-Aged Men in Lycra, complaints about tight clothing revealing everything it shouldn’t. It seems there’s growing female irritation with blokes getting up at the crack of dawn, gathering in large packs to go through their paces, and sitting around in coffee shops having a manly chat. How dare they have so much fun?

I’m wondering if this is just one more activity that traditionally attracts men – a boys’ club – which women resent and want to take over. It reminds me of covetous children. Haven’t we all witnessed kids who have no interest in a toy or activity until it attracts the attention of another child, particularly a sibling? Then the battle is on, as the first child seeks what the other one has.

Women seem endlessly to covet things that give men a thrill. They love to take over activities previously reserved for males – determined that men shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy anything that was traditionally their territory. Everywhere there are women making the case that men should be forced to share their toys.

Toys like bicycles. With twice as many men as women enjoying regular cycling, there’s a major push to attract more women and that means making it safer. “The main reason most women don’t cycle in the UK is because they think it is dangerous,” claims this Guardian editor.

Fair enough. But according to gender researcher Kate Jelly, this means we must “build cycling infrastructure that is explicitly feminist.” Take a look at her mad article, also published in The Guardian, which argues that the reason more British men than women use bicycles is the “UK’s cycling infrastructure is especially hostile to women”. The author is convinced that motorists have it in for female cyclists. “We have normalised a society in which men can move around as they please while the rest of us fear for our lives for the simple act of travelling home,” she writes.

And the evidence for this extraordinary statement? Jelly digs up an absolutely ludicrous study which found that motorists are 3.8 times more likely to pass too closely to female than male cyclists.

Get that – drivers are nearly four times more likely to try to mow down female cyclists. That’s shocking, isn’t it? Well, hang on a moment. It turns out this so-called research study, from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, studied only ONE female and two male cyclists, measuring the distance between the cyclist and the passing motorist in nearly 3,000 separate events.

Their data in fact revealed almost all the motorists behaved well – all but 1.12% keeping the required safe 3ft distance from the cyclists. And the much-heralded greater hazard for women turned out to be based on motorists passing three inches closer to the women (68ins compared to 71ins) in the tiny number of risky passes. Naturally, the researchers assume the motorist is at fault in such incidents, rather than entertain the possibility that the problem is a wandering woman who doesn’t stay on track.

Is there no limit to the lengths gender warriors will go to claim victim status for women?  It seems not when it comes to arguing that women shun cycling for safety reasons, rather than acknowledging more mundane issues like helmet hair and the bottom-amplifying effects of Lycra. The lesson is clear – if women believe that the roads aren’t safe for them to ride, then cycling infrastructure will have to change.

Yet an element of risk-taking is surely part of the attraction of cycling for many men, who regularly sail past me on Sydney’s hazardous roads as I dutifully stick to the city’s infuriating cycle paths, complete with uncoordinated traffic lights stopping us at every corner. In the past it was often the bicycle which gave little boys their first chance to escape their mothers’ skirts, a taste of real freedom, even if it came with the occasional bent bike, scraped elbow, and bloody knee.

But now that more women are keen to take up cycling it is decreed that safety is paramount.  That’s par for the course with the fair sex. As Canadian commentator Janice Fiamengo has pointed out, we’ve recently seen women’s obsession with safety in full flight, with women leading the push for Covid lockdowns in most countries: “If Covid was a war, as it was frequently depicted as being, it was one in which none of the typical masculine virtues required by war were in evidence. Gone was the valorization of stoicism, courage, forgetfulness of self, rational risk assessment, and the curtailment of emotionalism. In their place came generalized anxiety, self-righteous vindictiveness, and the longing for (an unattainable) safety at all costs.”

Safety at all costs isn’t usually what springs to mind when facing city roads on two narrow, wobbly wheels but never fear, women will find a way.

The result is city cycling will end up being a tamer experience. That’s the point. Whenever women muscle in on men’s activities or interests, the end project is something very different, often holding far less attraction for either gender.

The classic example is the humble comic book, inevitably featuring the heroic male superhero, which provided endless entertainment for generations of little schoolboys – and a few of their female friends. But when feminism came to control our cultural narrative, it was determined these pale, stale supermales must be shoved off their pedestals.

The comic book creators started tinkering with the formula, introducing all manner of female superheroes and acceptably diverse new characters. We saw Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenager girl, became Ms Marvel, and the introduction of a new female Thor, as well as a black female Ironman.

Well, that all went down like a lead balloon. According to Marvel Comic’s Vice president, David Gabriel, it was becoming obvious that “people were turning up their noses” at the new female characters. Speaking to a 2015 sales conference about the studio’s falling comic sales, he reported fans “…didn’t want any more diversity. They didn’t want female characters out there.”

His words created an uproar and he was forced to backtrack, stating his company was proud of their new creations. Feminist authors produced surveys claiming growing numbers of young female comic fans and the diversity crusade continued. Recent offerings include the Secret Six’s asexual Indian character, Roshanna Chatterji, the deaf Phoenix host, Maya Echo Lopez, and Marvel’s first Latin-American LGBTQ+ superhero, America Chavez. A thrill a minute, eh?

Traditional fans obviously don’t think so. Last year the very non-woke Japanese Manga comics absolutely dominated the market, accounting for more than three of every four comics in the country. American superhero comics made up a pathetic 6.5%.

Not only are audiences turning their back on the socially engineered comic industry, but Marvel’s woke superhero movies are bombing badly. Wonder Woman 1984 lost Warner Bros more than $100 million at the box office last year. According to Wall Street Journal, “since the beginning of 2021, the average global box-office gross of the six films produced by Marvel has fallen to $773.6 million—roughly half the $1.5 billion average of the previous six films.”

So, there you go. Superman. Batman. Spiderman. Magical creatures who captured the hearts of generations of young people. But women had to butt in, take over and create their own heroes. Look what happened.

Endless other male bastions are currently under siege. The exclusive Australian Club is holding out, still refusing to admit female members after 146 years of men only. Sydney’s Cranbrook School is being bullied to submission, forced by a new head to admit girls. This week the school board resigned after strenuously resisting the move. Given that one of these Eastern suburb schools spawned Chanel Contos who in 2021 encouraged thousands of private schoolgirls to publicly shame males using sexual assault allegations, it seems risky business to invite these woke, privileged young ladies into the fold.

One of the most outrageous examples of women chasing men’s toys is their demand for entry into Men’s Sheds. Here we have a rare organisation which was started exclusively for males only about 15 years ago – designed particularly for older retired men to come together and support each other. But suddenly women wanted in and sheds found themselves under pressure from women who liked the idea of joining in cosy woodwork sessions with the boys. It’s led to a huge split in the movement between those still keen to promote the mateship they believe is vital to encouraging proper support for vulnerable men, and those who prefer to win brownie points from the ladies by embracing inclusiveness.

Four years ago, I had great fun making a video about this controversy and still hear from people on both sides of this fence, including men who say their sheds weren’t the same after women joined their benches. The jury is still out as to which side will prevail but given the huge numbers of women’s organisations thriving across the country it is quite remarkable that blokes weren’t allowed to keep this one for themselves.

That’s it, folks. I’m back from my holidays – still in one piece – and thought you might enjoy this lighter fare, rather than the endless dire stories I keep presenting to you.

I’ll resume my regular fortnightly schedule now, probably right through the festive season.

Speaking of the upcoming festivities, here’s an idea for the man who has everything. How about a gift subscription to my blog – just the thing for the men in your life to show you’re rooting for them!

Please also “like” my blogs and post comments to show others that there’s a big audience out there for sane views about gender politics.

Our thanks to Nigel for this. Women’s immunity from punishment for their crimes now seemingly extends to crimes which are “not sophisticated”. Nigel writes:

Another story about a woman sentenced to a suspended sentence even though, “Blackmail is always a serious matter and immediate terms of custody are usually to be anticipated”, in the words of the female judge. But of course, yet another woman somehow getting away with it. Can anyone seriously believe a man blackmailing a woman and then making a false sexual assault accusation to the police would be told such crimes would usually lead to a custodial sentence and then effectively let off with a ticking-off?

I’d say the very evident leaning over backwards to be hold women unaccountable exhibited by our supposed “justice” system is by itself evidence there is no “patriarchy” busily oppressing women and exalting men. This poor guy definitely got much the worst end of this. The worst of it is it’s probably a good “ploy” because men know full well any accusation, however ludicrous, will put them into the hands of public institutions desperate to “believe women”.

The judge’s decision gives the green light to any woman wanting to try out this “unsophisticated” crime against men.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Wilko Johnson at 75. His obituary in The Guardian is here.

Wilko was one of the greatest British rock guitarists of his generation, and a personal favourite. I recall first seeing him play with Dr. Feelgood in Reading in 1977, a memorable gig. I last saw him play about 20 years ago at the Cambridge Corn Exchange with a personal hero, the legendary John Otway. It was a simply magical gig. Otway had been a memorable performer in the pubs in and around Aylesbury, including The Black Horse in my then home town of Leighton Buzzard, in the mid-1970s, when I was in sixth form. Happy days.

Dr Feelgood’s most famous track was possibly Roxette, and from the numerous YouTube clips of Wilko and the band I’ve selected this (video, 2:42), the band playing on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975. The singer was Lee Brilleaux, who died at the age of 41, in 1994.
