Rod Liddle: “The excellent Julie Bindel…”
Rod Liddle’s column in today’s edition of The Sunday Times included a short section which started, “The excellent Julie Bindel…”. Ms Bindel had written a piece critical of sourdough bread in The Spectator (for which Liddle is an associate editor and a columnist – the paper has printed 50+ articles by Bindel). I felt obliged to post some comments in response. They were passed by the moderators at The Sunday Times, to their credit. My comments went automatically for moderation due to my use of hyperlinks.

‘Comply or else’: Gender and net zero red tape blamed for stifling British business
Since launching Campaign for Merit in Business in 2012, I haven’t seen any signs of resistance from businesses or business organizations to the drive for more women on boards. Indeed, they’ve often been the keenest on the mad direction of travel.
So you can probably imagine my excitement at this piece by Simon Foy in today’s Sunday Telegraph, sent by Jeff. The start of the piece:

Rules demanding that companies report gender diversity and net zero targets are damaging Britain’s competitiveness, regulators have been warned. Two influential advisory groups to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), composed of a host of City heavyweights, said that the “comply or explain” regime has become too rigid. In a joint response to the FCA’s primary markets review, they said: “The ‘comply or explain’ regime has in reality become ‘comply or else’ and, as such, we believe that it is acting as a constraint on the discretion and efficacy of boards as the delegated managers of issuers. “This is ultimately to the detriment of the UK when compared to competitor jurisdictions.”The two advisory groups are the Joint Listing Authority Advisory Panel and the Markets Practitioner Panel. I shall be contacting both organizations, but in the meantime I’ve left the following comments (the article has attracted 300+ comments since it was published less than five hours ago).
The drive for greater gender diversity on boards was based on a lie, that companies could expect better financial results if they appointed more women onto their boards. In 2012 I presented evidence (from numerous longitudinal studies) to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries. The evidence showed a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate fnancial DECLINE. That evidence: https://c4mb.uk/improving-gender-diversity-on-boards-leads-to-a-decline-in-corporate-performance-the-evidence/ I’ve challenged many high-profile proponents of “more women on boards” to provide evidence of a causal link with improved performance, and they’ve never come up with anything. The most recent challenges, last December, included a challenge of Helena Morrissey, founder of The 30% Club in 2010: https://c4mb.uk/2022/12/14/women-on-boards-our-public-challenge-of-four-leading-proponents-2/ It is time to end the “women on boards” scam.

Pearl Davis: Are Women That Smart…..Really????
Enjoy (video, 17:11). It’s good to see Pearl referencing things I and other MRAs have introduced her to. In the case of this video, she references (from 6:23) what I told her about the feminisation of the teaching profession since the 1980s in my recent interview with her, here (video, 1:15:19). It’s had 38,000+ views to date.

Mohammad Siddiqui, 54, charged after performing 34 illegal circumcisions on boys
Our thanks to Ron for this. An unusual case – of course ALL circumcisions are illegal under the Offenced Against the Person Act 1861 but the criminal injustice system refuses to bring prosecutions against the criminal butchers (or allow individuals including myself to bring private prosecutions).

Campaigners in Ireland are trying to increase the incentives for women to claim they are being abused.Indeed. Not a word in the article about the 50%+ of victims who are men, and of course the stock photograph is of a man threatening a woman. The start of the piece, my inserts in square brackets:
New paid leave for people [allegedly] suffering domestic violence has been broadly welcomed by [alleged] survivors but calls have been made to increase the promised five days of paid leave to 10 days.
Ireland will be one of the first countries in Europe to introduce paid [alleged] domestic abuse leave, which will be formally introduced this autumn, when regulations and guidance being developed by Women’s Aid will be published.
The Government announced this week that [alleged] victims will be given five days on full pay through the scheme and they will not have to show any evidence of abuse. [J4MB emphasis]
