Feminism has unwittingly removed the blinkers that blinded us to the behaviour of women. Now we have come to expect that even their most egregious conduct will be excused by blaming men.The start of the piece:
A female assistant headteacher asked a boy ‘are you a virgin?’ while pretending to be a 17-year-old girl after setting up a fake social media account. The woman, who also sent sexual photos and accessed married dating site Illicit Encounters at work, sent the message while ‘under duress’ from a male teacher she was having an affair with, an employment tribunal heard. She was in a ‘coercive and controlling’ relationship with the colleague and feared something would happen to her children if she didn’t, the hearing was told. When he later reported her to bosses, the teacher of 20 years – referred to only as XX – was suspended before being sacked for for gross misconduct. The assistant headteacher – who allegedly suffers from recurrent depressive disorder – sued the school for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. However, she has now had her claims thrown out by an employment judge who said her sacking was ‘proportionate’.Another extract:
On August 19, 2018, XX [J4MB: the woman] reported PP [J4MB: her colleague] to the police, after he made threats to kill himself and he received a caution for harassment. He took his own life on the 21st.In an email to me, Tom commented:
He’s dead so can’t speak or defend his honour. Convenient.
