Female football commentators – Euro24
I’m watching the ITV build-up to the semi-final of Euro24 (England v Netherlands), ITV saw fit to torture serious football fans (men) with two young women on the pitch wittering on about the coming game, adding ZERO content of any interest to football fans, serious or otherwise. My thanks to the genius (a man, inevitably) who came up with the idea of a “mute” button on TV remote controllers, perfect for such moments. I unmute when the women are no longer on the screen.
This brings me to a video in the award-winning comedy channel (158 videos) of our associated website Laughing at Feminists, titled Where’s the Bloke? (1:29) with Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse.
Jess Phillips made minister following frontbench resignation over Middle East
Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“Well, as well as two ministers for women the new government will have Jess Phillips pushing her favourite agenda. Expect to see “Male violence” trotted out for policies as unconnected as quotas for more female CEOs and Directors of big companies, discriminating against Male students in STEM subjects at school and University, revival of “gender pay gap reporting and improvement plans” and of course many other “gender equality” policies all tied to “2 women killed by men every week” (no mention of the stat that a third of those killed by partners are men ) even though this is actually a tiny number in a population of 66 million. Indeed overall our murder rate in general, the vast majority of victims being Male, is so low that this remains one of the safest places to live on the planet. Certainly the numbers are so low as to have no statistical significance as to “society” as a whole. Yet the gynocentrism of our society will mean any rational discussion is ignored. And of course the ideal of zero murders of women is so illusory as to mean it will always keep delivering. I’ve never heard anyone suggest the idea that zero men murdered is a target in any way, simply because it is impossible to stop such a rare occurrence. Well at least the current Gov. will be clearly anti Male and have undisguised hatred for males, rather than the contradictory bumbling white knightery of the Tories.”
Hey, we’re all femininists!!!
I’ve just ordered the Kindle edition of the Collins English Dictionary and Thesaurus, a steal at £1.99. I can now read it along with the other books in my Kindle library on my PC and Amazon Fire tablet, the latter of which is now so heavy (because my Kindle library is substantial) that I can barely lift it off the table.
I turned to the page which defined feminism, and found the usual nonsense, “A doctrine or movement that advocates equal rights for women”:
My eye was caught, however, by the word “femininism”. Hey, we’re all femininists!!!

Shoe0nHead: “Women Aren’t Funny”
Enjoy (video, 15:02). So good to see Canadian Diana Davison from 7:01.
Christopher Hitchens: “Why Women Still Aren’t Funny”
Enjoy (video, 4:58). The late Christopher Hitchens’s response (in 2014) to a Vanity Fair piece challenging his earlier assertion (in a Vanity Fair article) that women aren’t funny. The video description is an extract from the video:
“Women don’t need to be funny, but for most men if they can’t make a woman laugh they are out of the evolutionary contest. They’re never going to get laid. Most men are fantastically unattractive. What women see in them is mysterious to most men, as well as most women. If you can’t make them laugh, you don’t have a chance. With women, there is no need to be rendering yourself attractive to men in that way — we already find you attractive.”

Keir Starmer’s first speech as PM in the House of Commons
Check out this GB News video published a little earlier this evening, starting at 2:05. At 2:50 eight MPs are visible around Keir Starmer – seven women and one black man, almost out of the frame. At 3:07 the camera pans out to reveal a frame with 17 women and seven men, four of the men looking dejected as they resort to sitting on the steps between the benches. There are, needless to say, no women on the steps. Welcome to an insight into how Starmer will run the government over the next five years.
