Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Today is Valentine’s Day. I’ve had the pleasure of informing all my virtual girlfriends that I don’t celebrate the occasion.

A supporter (cp) has sent in these comments in relation to the discussion (video, 59:58) on Matrisensus:

“Having read the premise of ‘Matrisensus’ on Kindle, it would appear very similar to that put forward by William Collins in his excellent 2022 book ‘The Destructivists’ – that when female ‘moral power’ escapes from domesticity into the wider environment, it corrupts every system which men fought so hard to build through competition.

Basically, women have an inbuilt domestic expectation that men provide and women receive. They then take this with them into the workplace (‘quotas’, EEO, AA, ESG, DEI), and see competition and fairness as ‘bullying’, ‘oppression’ and ‘misogyny’.

I’ve a certain amount of experience on this. From 1980 until 2003, I worked as a research chemist. Initially, the labs were entirely innocent of women, and the endeavour was one of science and truth. We all knew what we were doing, and what the expectations were.

Through the 1990s, this began to change. Management wanted to demonstrate their ‘progressive’ credentials to other managers by ticking boxes. The labs slowly filled with women. If those managers (mostly weak) thought that the ladies would do their bidding, they were wrong. The power flowed one way, those women could wind managers round their little fingers. The less discreet amongst them openly boasted about it. As a result, I saw male scientists sacked for ‘bullying’ (= trying to get a day’s work out of female technicians for a day’s pay), and for accusations of ‘sexual harassment’ which could, conveniently, remove rivals for promotion.

There were unwarranted and undeserved promotions of females. This was often followed by further chaos. Her husband wouldn’t be ‘good enough’ for her any longer. The protracted and messy divorces which followed would be accompanied by tears in the lab, and little work done.

There was also a lot of sneaky manipulation. A woman in charge of biodegradation studies kept putting my materials in for the wrong tests, knowing that they’d fail. She had an ulterior motive for this. My molecules threatened her molecule, which was being fast-tracked through the system. Management had spent a lot of money on molecular modelling, and needed a result. She was being spoon-fed through a Company-sponsored PhD to promote a pack of lies, and was so dim that she didn’t even realise she was being used.

Meanwhile, a female technician was fiddling results in favour of a (married) chemist, with whom she was having an affair. She was a single mother. He’d promised her that he’d leave his wife. While they strung one another along, everyone else’s work suffered. It took years for this to come to light.

To cut a very long story short, by 2003 I was having my projects sequestered from me by management, to support this shower. Nor was my wife supportive. “I don’t know what all the fuss is about – you’re still being paid, aren’t you?”

I took a good look around me in 2003. I was supporting five women. Two female ‘scientists’ who had their claws into my work, their two female ‘technician’ hangers-on, and my wife. In a domestic environment, a man is offered sex in return for his work. I certainly didn’t want that from my female ‘colleagues’ (nor was it offered!!). But my wife had now guessed that I was about to quit, and had initiated her own version of the 4B Movement – withdrawal of sex, love, affection, and eventually even conversation, in an attempt to keep me in halter.

I quit anyway. Told her I was selling the house, going back to Scotland, and she could come with me, or try to go it alone. She chose the latter. In all honesty, I was past caring. What did I have to lose, after all?

I think there’s a lesson there for women in general, as they push their weight around in the political and social sphere, expecting men to keep working, to support women in welfare and social advantage, while getting nothing in return. Eventually, we’ve had enough. Eventually, we’ll quit. I’ve never been happier since 2003. Our house was already paid off, I got a job as a postman for ten years, it kept me fit.

There’s something else that feminists would do well to remember. The transfer of resources in domesticity was dependent on them producing a child. Until then, they’ve contributed nothing to ‘pair-bonding’. Personally, being a working class kid with a badly broken nose, I had to get a BSc before women would even look at me. By the time I had a PhD and a good job, I had to beat women off with a shitty stick. You’ve still got to spend all the money in courtship rituals though, while they suss you out as a prospect for peonage.

Those days of free tuition fees and good jobs for men are gone. I wouldn’t have taken on £80k of debt for qualifications. That wouldn’t have improved my chances in today’s dating market. Nor would I be likely to get a job at the end of it, being lacking in the va-jay-jay department.

There’s much more I could say, but will end here for the moment. Happy Valentine’s Day!!!”

RegisterHer: Chinese student Hao Li, 28, jailed and warned she faces deportation over false rape claims against serving police officer.

Interesting. Details posted on RegisterHer, here. The start of the piece:

“A Chinese student who made up false rape claims against a serving policeman has been jailed and told she faces possible deportation.

Hao Li, 29, was warned by a judge that her conduct risked deterring ‘genuine victims from coming forward’.

A court also heard the accusation had a serious impact on the police officer, who was arrested and held in cells for 35 hours before being suspended for five months.

It was only due to the ‘foresight’ of the officer, who had set his phone to record an earlier conversation between the pair and left it on, recording the sexual encounter, that he was not charged. 

Li, a master’s degree student, was charged with perverting the course of justice but fled Britain before the case could be heard.

She was subsequently arrested at Manchester airport after arriving on a return flight and remanded in custody last July…

The judge told her she would serve about half of the six-year sentence in custody before being released on licence, when she will probably be deported to China.”

High Court ruling against Palestine Action terror ban will convince far-left activists they can ‘hold UK to ransom’, warns ex anti-extremism tsar

Outrageous. We can but hope a future Reform UK government will reverse the politicisation of the judiciary. An extract:

“Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp MP also backed Ms Mahmood’s appeal and accused Palestine Action of being bent on ‘intimidation, destruction, and violence’. 

He said: ‘Palestine Action repeatedly invades secure sites, sabotages military aircraft, attacks police officers and causes millions in criminal damage. It is organised political violence and cannot be tolerated.’

While the judges found that the decision should be quashed, they warned that the group remains banned pending Ms Mahmood’s appeal. 

However, this distinction appears to have been lost on the Met Police, which said it would now stop arresting activists who express support for Palestine Action and merely ‘gather evidence’ against them instead.”

Kathy Ruemmler, top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, resigns after revelation of Epstein relationship

Interesting.

“During her time in private practice after she left the White House in 2014, Ruemmler received several gifts from Epstein, including luxury handbags and a fur coat.

“So lovely and thoughtful! Thank you to Uncle Jeffrey!!!” she wrote to him in 2018.”

Esther Baker, 43, accused of false sex abuse claims against John Hemming and the late Roy Jenkins, ex-Birmingham MPs, to stand trial.

Interesting. The end of the piece:

“Charge sheets state Baker falsified allegations of abuse by ex-Liberal Democrat MP for Birmingham Yardley John Hemming and the late Lib Dem peer and Labour Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, who represented Southwark, Birmingham Stechford and Glasgow Hillhead in Parliament.

She is also accused of falsely implicating Simon Cole, the former chief constable of Leicestershire Police, who died in 2022, as having aided or abetted the commission of sexual offences against her.

A fourth charge alleges Baker wrongly claimed she was a victim of abuse by men on Cannock Chase, as well as other outdoor locations, private houses and unknown places. The counts relate to a period between December 31, 2014 and September 19, 2020.”
