Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“One interesting thing about this is that the male teaching assistant’s behaviour is described with regard to a holiday so as to lessen our sympathies, needless to say if the sexes had been reversed a female’s other bahaviour would not be so described. However that being said the young man won his case and as the judge said:
‘Similar comments made by a senior man, particularly if older, are generally regarded as unacceptable if directed towards a junior or younger female and perhaps, belatedly, such comments made by a female Head Teacher towards a younger Teaching Assistant should now similarly be regarded as unacceptable.’
Now of course in reality none of this really warranted the fuss made, however seeing as feminists have made it so such trivia is regarded as “sexual harassment” men should be encouraged to make use of the law. Their major handicap in this regard is the assumption that such things exist solely to help women. Entirely understandable given the huge public investment in Charities, NGOs and publicity campaigns directed only at women. Frankly I believe it is only when men start to use the legislation in the same way as women that we’ll get a retraction of such laws and the beginings of a return to common sense. After all it was the suggestion of following feminist ideas and making parenting an equal responsibility that made a feminist “volte face” and a doubling down on the idea of “tender years” and “mother’s unique contribution” as they realised the real trump card in divorce etc. is having the children as if the mother’s possessions. And of course the very ideas of feminist “icon” Judith Butler (apostle of gender identities) are turned into a “patriarchal plot” when it’s clear women’s privileges in society might be accessed by even a few confused men.
Men have little to lose and a great deal to gain by simply demanding equal rights and responsibilities with women, and in doing so will find many women considerably less keen on equality than they thought.”
