Our thanks to Gerry for this. He writes:
Strange that women’s and feminist causes are swash with money but nobody is buying their narratives.

Pearl Davis: Why Do “Trad” Influencers Dress Like 304s?

Interesting (video, 7:43). Not quite sure what a “304” is, but the estimable Pearl tends to refer to women who make money on OnlyFans as 304s.

Cara James, 37, mother, caught trying to smuggle £1,400 of Spice into prison inside her bra is spared jail after claiming her teenage daughter suffers from ‘separation anxiety’

What’s the point of prosecuting female criminals? Think of the time and money that could be saved across the criminal justice system if women were simply told they won’t face prosecution and possible punishment for committing crimes. It’s long been the reality that they won’t be punished adequately (if at all) when found guilty. The start of the piece:

A mother caught trying to smuggle £1,400 worth of the synthetic drug spice into prison for her boyfriend has been spared jail after claiming her teenage daughter suffers from ‘separation anxiety’.

Cara James, 37, faced up to 10 years behind bars after she was found carrying 14 sheets of A4 paper, laced with the so-called ‘Zombie drug’ inside her bra when she attended Hindley jail near Wigan, Greater Manchester.

The synthetic drugs, which have been blamed for a rise in deaths among male prisoners, [J4MB emphasis] were for James’ partner who was behind bars for assault. Each sheet of paper would have fetched £100 each on the prison black market.

At Bolton Crown Court she admitted attempting to bring a Category A prohibited item into prison and possession of a Class B drug.
