The bookstore at the heart of (great) comedy ‘Portlandia’ (who hated it FYI), In Other Words is closing because “reform [of Capitalism] does not work” and the store was “founded on white, cis feminism (read: white supremacy)”. Full statement on their site.

Two lifeboatmen who were sacked over a silly secret Santa Present have lost their appeal to be reinstated.

The story of the teaching assistant harassed by Human Relations authoritarians at Laurier University (after playing footage of Jordan Peterson to her class) thickens. After winning the intellectual battle, and securing an apology from the university, Shepherd has launched a lawsuit that could go a long way towards protecting freedom of speech in Canadian higher education.

Bizarre and hilarious rules of conduct for staff have been established by Netflix. The response from the bewildered cast and crew on the first film set to be affected, Black Mirror in London, was irreverent humour – with people reportedly looking at each other, counting to five, then diverting their eyes. I imagine they may have felt like they were living in an episode of the dystopian series!

An extreme example of the kind of environments #MeToo is spawning, and surely an over-dramatic death throe of intrusive, authoritarian, bloated Human Relations departments in the workplace.

Humans are a sexually reproducing species and, when you put them into close contact in places of work, flirting is a virtually inevitable consequence. Sometimes it will be welcomed and can even lead to serious relationships, sometimes it is ill-judged with comic, tragic or simply uncomfortable results (possibly depending on your perspective). But, in the vast majority of cases, individuals are able to manage such situations quite well on their own.

As part of Sadiq Khan’s #BehindEveryGreatCity campaign, today “Schoolgirls from across the city will be joining forces with Wikipedia’s experts and women in the tech industry to create a surge in new pages about women, and to add more detail to existing ones.”

According to Sadiq, writing in The Telegraph, the facts that 83% of Wikipedia biographies are about men and that 87% of editors are men is a “woefully inaccurate reflection of women’s achievements” that “has to change” in order to “level the playing field”…

As Sadiq acknowledges, there are no barriers to women editing Wikipedia pages – it would simply appear that more men are more interested in contributing.

I look forward to Sadiq’s battle against Instagram’s 58% female user skew and Pinterest’s 71% female user skew.

Our thanks to Alexander for notifying us that today is the 20th Anniversary of Emma Humphreys’ suicide and providing us with this interesting series of posts discussing the murderess herself, the successful feminist campaign to have her sentencing quashed and her subsequent ‘canonisation’.

In a classic (archived) piece of feminist propaganda, Suzanna Danuta Walters has proposed that hatred of men as a class is a legitimate perspective. As vile a read as her Washington Post article is, it’s really another feminist gift to us, as the opposition. Writing on such a heinous level in such a prestigious and widely-read publication can only serve to further alienate the non-feminist sector from feminism and potentially flick the activation switch in some of these individuals who will be prompted to take a stance.

Robert Brockway has published an open letter to the president of the university where Ms Danuta Walters is a professor of sociology and director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.

A video from Eye is Bloke containing a case study example involving gendered dress codes which helps to illustrate how the ‘Equalities’ framework in the U.K. effectively ignores issues impacting on men and boys.

In a study that will no doubt astound supporters of J4MB, it has been shown that when faced with moral dilemmas, women who rate themselves as more feminist are more likely to be willing to sacrifice men (hypothetically…).
