Interesting. Of course the man should NOT have apologised. In his book The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect (LPS publishing, 2019) William Collins calculates (using two official statistics) that 77% of rape allegations made to the police are false. I’d say that was “very often”.

They can’t bring themselves to mention a man in the headline. Which makes one wonder how many women were in the trial.

Georgia Nicholson, 22, mother who left taxi driver blind after frenzied attack with stiletto, is jailed after original suspended sentence overturned by the Court of Appeal
Our thanks to Mike P for this. The taxi driver lost an eye and can never work as a driver again. Nicholson allegedly paid the man £4,000 “compensation”. What compensation is that for a loss of livelihood?

Top mountaineers were ‘more interested in setting records than saving life of K2 porter left to die at the top of the world’, claim climbers who say local guides are treated as ‘second-class humans’ by Western explorers – who threw a PARTY afterwards
A piece in the Mail. An extract:

After footage of the incident emerged, Norway’s Kristin Harila and her team who passed by Hassan are now facing claims they were more interested in securing a new world record than helping the stricken climber. She is also accused of holding a party shortly after clinching the record that saw her climb 14 of the world’s highest peaks in just over three months despite Hassan’s death.
The fellow mountaineers, reigniting fury about how Sherpas are treated as ‘second-class human beings’, said a Western climber would not have been left to die in the same instance.

Chloe Kelly penalty shot faster than every Premier League goal in 2023 (excluding shots struck from inside the penalty box, including penalties)
Is it a combination of emotional neediness and a (fully justified) sense of inferiority that accounts for women’s pathetic need to pretend that women can compete at the top level as men in competitions including sports, even in competitions (e.g. chess) where that decline to compete directly with men? Boys routinely beat national women’s soccer teams by embarrassing margins.

Being a football fan I’ve seen this pushed around social media a lot today. It didn’t smell right, so I did five minutes research. Now I’m fine with a powerful penalty, but how strange that the media don’t mention that the men’s figure quoted is only for goals from outside the penalty area. Inside the penalty area (including penalties) doesn’t count.Chloe Kelly’s much-lauded penalty had a speed of 68mph. I did a little research of my own, and found this. An extract:
It’s hard to give an exact figure, but the average penalty kick in professional football ranges between 70 and 80 mph.The bottom line? Chloe Kelly’s penalty was slower than the average penalty in professional football. And that’s including all the men’s penalties, including the slow but well-positioned ones.

Felix Klieser
[Update 16:30 – Fanny Mendelssohn makes her entrance…]
I’ve been listening to a Mozart horn concerto on BBC Radio 3. No mentions so far today of the transatlantic slave trade, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Fanny Mendelssohn or Clara Schumann, but the day is young. The horn player on the recording is the remarkable Felix Klieser, a German professional player of the French horn. He was born without arms, and plays the horn by using the toes of his left foot to operate the valves.

Moment seven officers drag ‘autistic’ girl, 16, kicking and screaming from Leeds home for committing a ‘hate crime’ after she told female cop ‘you look like my lesbian nana’
This is what results from feminising the police force. Every profession that has been feminised – education being an obvious example – crashes in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. And male taxpayers pick up most of the cost.

Simultaneous attacks by snakes and hawks – women most affected
Interesting. The end of the piece:
Mrs Jones described the attack as severely traumatic, adding that she thought she was going to die and has had trouble sleeping since it happened.
She told CBS that living in rural Texas, she is no stranger to wildlife encounters.
“I’ve actually seen a hawk pick up a snake. That’s something they do, that’s how they kill their prey,” she said.
