UNITED STATES: Temujin Ketsu was jailed in 1987 (37 years ago) for the murder of 21-year-old Scott Macklem. One small problem, he was 438 miles away from Macklem at the time of the murder, yet remains in prison. Gretchen Whitmer, lawyer and governor of the state of Michigan, has declined to pardon him for six years.

Our thanks to Gerry for this, watch from 11:45 – 51:00. The only basis for the prosecution was the claim of his possible guilt by his seven-month-pregnant girlfriend.

The NHS “doesn’t always have the needs of women at its heart”, Amanda Pritchard, the chief executive of the service, has admitted to MPs.

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes the following (it takes up the remainder of this blog piece):

Misogyny has become a pretty meaningless term. The current CEO of the NHS points out the NHS was built by men “She said that the NHS has largely been built by men and “doesn’t always have, I think, the needs of women at its heart” but she said: “Women’s health is a priority for the government. It is a priority for the NHS.” [J4MB: Another way of saying “Men’s health isn’t a priority for the government or the NHS.”]

But apparent not always putting women’s health first is “medical misogyny” according to the Women and Equalities Committee in Parliament and Pritchard duly agrees. “Can I first say I agree with you on misogyny” she says. The nonsense of this is pretty much evidenced by the fact that the people complaining that women’s health isn’t getting ring-fenced money are the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) who represent whole sections of the “largely been built by men” NHS! There is of course no similarly large departments dealing with men’s health.

And of course this leaves out the fact that most health issues affect human beings, just under half of whom are male, so somewhat misogynistically occasionally the NHS might pay a bit of attention to sick males too. Of course it should do so because if the measure of health outcomes were based on the data for men it would mean reducing them for women! So we have a service that actually treats men less well than women already, and is build by men, is supposedly “misogynistic” because its struggling to find funds to treat women even better!

Like “sexism” before it “misogyny” is just a word that gets thrown about. If the NHS has a problem hating women when it already has specialist services and treats them better than men (literally because they get earlier diagnosis, more rapid treatment and better outcomes for almost all non-sex specific diseases). What does “hate” mean?
