Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was a German philosopher. A supporter responded in our piece linking to William Collins’s “2025 Misogyny Bills” with this:
“Way back in 1851, Arthur Schopenhauer opined that women should be kept well away from courts of law, even as witnesses, due to certain undesirable traits which they seemed unable to overcome (bottom of page 3 in link) https://www.theabsolute.net/misogyny/onwomen.html. Now, they are the jurisprudence class. What could possibly go wrong..?”
“On Women” includes this famous line:
“In our part of the world, where monogamy is in force, to marry means to halve one’s rights and to double one’s duties.”
For a mere 78p you can order from Amazon the Kindle edition of Essays of Schopenhauer. It includes “On Women” as well as 12 other essays, along with Preliminary Notes and a Biographical Note.

Justice for Men & Boys 
A typical example of the dissembling is this report from the Guardian Female doctors outnumber male peers in UK for first time | Doctors | The Guardian Widely reported in other newspapers too. Now the medical profession is “representative” of the general population in terms of sex. In that just over half are women in a population which is almost 50/50 men and women. No need for any more preferencing then?
But of course not !Because somehow its not good enough that men and women Doctors tend to choose different specialisms. (It being no surprise women predominate on Gynecology for example or GP). However somehow its a “problem” that they don’t predominate in every sector. And of course there has to be a problem with “sexual harassment” and here the Guardian is careful to leave out the actual questionnaire data in which 9% of female and 4% of male medics reported unwanted comments and jokes suggesting this “harassment” is not a huge problem for either sex. Though it does report that women are very much in the majority of student medics and young medics so the profession runs the risk of not “reflecting the community” but becoming unbalanced and unrepresentative of the general population it serves. But then that unrepresentativeness not a problem for the feminists. So there is still a need for interference and quotas and special treatment for women!
