Rachel Watson, the first female Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct: “My reflections on International Women’s Day”

Give me strength. It contains this gem:

“You may have seen studies that found that women’s presence on companies’ boards generally increases profits.”

She is clearly alluding to a causal link. Nobody has ever seen any such studies, because they have never existed, and never will. A causal link resulting from increasing gender diversity on companies’ boards is with financial decline. If I had a pound for every time I’ve written such sentences since 2012, I’d be living in a beautiful apartment in Mauritius with a swimming pool.

Mark Carney, mangina, former Governor of the Bank of England, set to be the next Canadian prime minister

Mark Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England over 2013-20, and a committed mangina, a male feminist. Dick Masterson employed the word in his masterpiece Men Are Better Than Women (2008).

In his role at the Bank of England Carney increased the number of women in senior roles i.e. he reduced the number of men in senior roles. In 2014 we posted a blog piece, Our public challenge of Mark Carney, Governor, Bank of England. An extract:

Last week a national newspaper reported Carney as warmly welcoming the ‘success’ of initiatives designed to increase the number of women in senior roles at the Bank of England, and then he came out with this gem: “Hiring more women in senior roles makes us much, much more effective.”

Author uncovers surprising secrets of female sexuality, including monogamy and rape / submission fantasies

Our thanks to Patrick for this. An extract, taking up the remainder of this blog piece:

The results of 10 separate studies so rattled sexologist Marta Meana that she was initially hesitant to talk about them: Between 30 and 60 percent of women reported frequently having what’s been termed “rape fantasies,” and many of the women who described their own daydreams were also disturbed. “If I truly believed in women’s equality with men,” said one, “then I’d have to have sex and imagine sex that reflected that — no domination, no rape fantasies. One result was that I married a nice liberal man who shared my convictions on how sex should be. Seven years later we divorced.”

Most experts believe that the number of women who have so-called rape fantasies is actually much higher, but the notion and nomenclature is so taboo few are willing to admit to it. One theory holds that the fantasies actually dial into female narcissism, the notion that one is so unbelievably desirable that a man — whether a professor or family friend or stranger — is so overcome with longing that he loses control. [J4MB: Maybe the fantasies also “dial into” female preference to avoid agency.]…

“I hate the term ‘rape fantasies,’ ” Meana says in the book. “In fantasy, we control the stimuli. In rape, we have no control. They’re really fantasies of submission.”
