The first of many such suspensions, hopefully.

Professor Matt Goodwin: The Collapse of the British Family

Just published. I’ve posted the following comments:
Thanks Matt, but I don’t know how it’s possible to write such an article without exploring the state’s war on fathers. For decades wives – who file for 70%+ of divorces – have been incentivised to destroy their marriages and, if they wish, deny their ex-partners access to their children with false allegations of abuse which will almost certainly never be investigated. The family courts aren’t broken, they’re designed to destroy men financially and emotionally in their probably futile bids to see their children, if their ex-wives don’t want it. The women will get Legal Aid simply for alleging abuse – which women’s charities, lawyers etc. will recommend they do – while the men will get no such support and have to act as Litigants in Person if they’re not well-off. I know of no better commentator on all this than William Collins, the man behind The Illustrated Empathy Gap http://empathygap.uk/. There’s also a lot of content about these issues in his masterly book, “The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect” (2019). The ebook is a steal at under £5.00. You write, “Britain has become a world leader in the breakdown of family life —yet nobody wants to talk about it.” On the contrary, countless people (Men’s Rights Activists, in particular) want to talk about it. But the government relentlessly and reliably dances to the tunes of feminists, for whom the nuclear family is an abhorrence. This is despite only 9% of British women (and 4% of British men) self-identifying as feminists (Fawcett Society report, 2016). It hardly needs saying that the Conservative party, once “the party of the family”, have been as anti-family as the other major parties since at least Cameron’s election as leader (2005).

JULIE BURCHILL: This wasn’t about the score – it was about a future forged by women. The fact our Lionesses lost wasn’t as important as the way they played the game

Our thanks to Jeff for this. He writes:
what crap she writes Mike
I couldn’t put it better. Burchill (64) always strikes me as a teenager determined never to grow up.

Janice Fiamengo: Richard Bilkszto Was Publicly Shamed for Being White (and his suicide offers a case study in the effects of sanctioned hatred)

An outstanding piece about an appalling tragedy. In the words of the title of a video by Jordan Peterson, “DIE must DIE”.

Rise of the Lazy Girl jobs: Demand for posts that offer working from home and are low effort are in huge demand among Gen Zers – these are the 25 most sought-after roles

Our thanks to Gerry for this. Is this anything more than another reflection of fewer women than men being work-centred, as pointed out by Dr Catherine Hakim with her Preference Theory (2000)?

The saddest thing that’s ever happened in the world?

I don’t have the words to express my grief…. Apparently both teams played well, by women’s standards. Let’s hope neither team lets the hype go to their heads, leading them to challenge teams way out of their league e.g. under-12 boys.
