Combatting violence against women: Council adopts decision about EU’s accession to Istanbul Convention

Predictable, but no less disappointing for that.

The fearless MUM PATROLS taking on street gangs to keep their kids safe — but why are the police so toothless that it took women as old as 73 to cut muggings?

Our thanks to Groan for this. He writes:
This might seem “off topic” but actually it’s a really good example of the casual attitude to male victims of crime, and the real world consequences. In this story no one thinks to ask why almost all the victims are boys. But the reason is simple and relates to our general gynocentrism. Ask any policeman and there are two reasons. The first is of course that the gangs themselves will reflect a masculine revulsion at harming girls. The second is actually quite a practical result the slightly more organised gangs coming from other Boroughs will know from experience that if their targets are boys there is little likelihood of any targeted “crackdown” by police. Whereas experience will have told them that mugging girls will get a lot of attention and cause a police campaign in response. So they will know that targeting boys is likely to leave them undisturbed in their activities! Of course the relevance to Domestic Abuse is that the same completely different response is evident in the attention to male victims of abuse and the immense resources put into protecting women and girls. Actual equality would mean the “mums” in this story could expect the same police response to protect their sons that would be delivered if the list of girls mugged grew. And paradoxically that the robbers’ masculine code didn’t prevent them from taking the easy pickings from girls. The whole feminist industry benefits from this “benign sexism” (or gynocentrism) while openly lying that society “condones” violence against women and girls!

GUARDIAN: Frilly dresses and white supremacy: welcome to the weird, frightening world of ‘trad wives’

A hilarious piece by Sian Norris, a hatchet-faced feminist ‘journalist’ in yesterday’s Guardian. Below the headline there’s a photograph of an anti-life land whale holding a banner bearing the words, “DON’T TREAD ON MY UTERUS”. I very much doubt any man, sane or otherwise, would want to (or could, if he tried). The article starts with this:

In some more traditional relationships (but not all) the man disciplines the woman either physically (like spanking) or with things like writing lines and standing in the corner,” one woman advises another on the Red Pill Women forum, an online community of rightwing, anti-feminist women.

Welcome to the weird and frightening world of trad wives, where women spurn modern, egalitarian values to dedicate their lives to the service of their husbands. My research into this far-right subculture began during the writing of my book on the far right and reproductive rightsI was curious to learn how the movement, determined to reduce women to reproductive vessels to aid white male supremacy, recruited women to its cause. The answer was a toxic combination of anti-feminism, white supremacy, normalised abuse and a desire to return to an imagined past.
