Radical anti-feminism the most prevalent form of violent extremism in Australia, report finds. We find University of Melbourne’s Dr Sara Meger to be a blithering idiot.

Hilarious. The start of the piece:

“Nearly 20 per cent of Australian men believe that feminism should be violently resisted, if necessary, new research from the University of Melbourne and the University of Queensland has found.

For their newly published report, researchers surveyed 1,020 people from across Australia and found that misogynistic beliefs were a significant predictor of most forms of violent extremism. The researchers also found if authorities recognised anti-feminist beliefs as a separate form of violent extremism, it would represent the most prevalent form of violent extremism in Australia today.

Among men surveyed, 19.4 per cent believed it was legitimate to violently resist feminism and over 30 per cent of all respondents agreed or slightly agreed with statements expressing hostile sexist views.

Report author University of Melbourne’s Dr Sara Meger said the results showed the urgent need for security and policing agencies to take misogynistic and racist attitudes seriously as predictors of violent extremism, regardless of ideological or religious motivations.”

Eagle-eyed readers of the piece may spot that not one example of “radical anti-feminist violent extremism” is cited. Yet it’s the most prevalent form of “violent extremism” in Australia, says Dr. Sara Meger. Even by radfem standards the woman is clearly batshit insane.

Is Jacob Rees-Mogg OK?

We’ve long been admirers of the former Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose nicknames in parliament included “The minister for the 18th century”. He continues to host his “State of the Nation” slot on GB News, 8 – 9pm weekdays. I was startled this evening to see his facial expression when passing over to newsreader Polly Middlehurst, watch from 0:50 – 0:58, here.

Jordanian asylum seeker, 27, who assaulted a female police officer after drunkenly pestering female joggers is spared community service due to ‘health and safety issues’

Lost for words (Mail, £). The start of the piece:

“An asylum seeker who assaulted a female police officer cannot do community service because it would be against health and safety rules, a court heard.

Jordanian national Mustafa Al Mbaidin cannot speak English and would need a full-time translator with him if he were to do a period of unpaid work which would raise ‘issues’ with the health and safety at work laws, his lawyer argued. [J4MB: Why would he require a f/t translator to do jobs such as picking up litter?]

Instead the 27-year-old was fined £26 for the offence of assaulting an emergency worker which he will pay at a rate of £2 a month.”
