Around lunchtime today, I was walking through the car park of one of my local stores – Sainsbury’s, where prices are only 50% higher than those at Aldi or Lidl – and a few people were on a little zebra crossing. One lady, maybe in her 80s, tripped and fell flat on her face. A man maybe also in his 80s picked her up. The lady was quite shaken, she’d grazed her hands, the man and I then had this exchange:

Me (to man): Do you know this lady? He: Yes, she’s my wife. We’ve been married over 60 years! Me: Very commendable of you, but that’s not what I asked. Do you know her?

I’m pleased to report they both laughed and thanked me for showing concern. I felt I’d done my good deed for the day, no need to do any more.

Our thanks to Groan for this. He writes:

This might seem “off topic” but actually it’s a really good example of the casual attitude to male victims of crime, and the real world consequences. In this story no one thinks to ask why almost all the victims are boys. But the reason is simple and relates to our general gynocentrism. Ask any policeman and there are two reasons. The first is of course that the gangs themselves will reflect a masculine revulsion at harming girls. The second is actually quite a practical result the slightly more organised gangs coming from other Boroughs will know from experience that if their targets are boys there is little likelihood of any targeted “crackdown” by police. Whereas experience will have told them that mugging girls will get a lot of attention and cause a police campaign in response. So they will know that targeting boys is likely to leave them undisturbed in their activities! Of course the relevance to Domestic Abuse is that the same completely different response is evident in the attention to male victims of abuse and the immense resources put into protecting women and girls. Actual equality would mean the “mums” in this story could expect the same police response to protect their sons that would be delivered if the list of girls mugged grew. And paradoxically that the robbers’ masculine code didn’t prevent them from taking the easy pickings from girls. The whole feminist industry benefits from this “benign sexism” (or gynocentrism) while openly lying that society “condones” violence against women and girls!

A hilarious piece by Sian Norris, a hatchet-faced feminist ‘journalist’ in yesterday’s Guardian. Below the headline there’s a photograph of an anti-life land whale holding a banner bearing the words, “DON’T TREAD ON MY UTERUS”. I very much doubt any man, sane or otherwise, would want to (or could, if he tried). The article starts with this:

In some more traditional relationships (but not all) the man disciplines the woman either physically (like spanking) or with things like writing lines and standing in the corner,” one woman advises another on the Red Pill Women forum, an online community of rightwing, anti-feminist women.

Welcome to the weird and frightening world of trad wives, where women spurn modern, egalitarian values to dedicate their lives to the service of their husbands. My research into this far-right subculture began during the writing of my book on the far right and reproductive rights. I was curious to learn how the movement, determined to reduce women to reproductive vessels to aid white male supremacy, recruited women to its cause. The answer was a toxic combination of anti-feminism, white supremacy, normalised abuse and a desire to return to an imagined past.

I am wont to describe juryless rape trials as “madness”, with which Wiliam Collins disagrees, with good reason. He accurately describes them as simply one manifestation of tyrannical radical feminist strategies. Our thanks to Douglas for this. I’ve only scan-read it, but this section (pp.52/3) could have been written by Julie Bindel:

Juryless trials In England and Wales, juries are used in serious criminal cases. The jury gives the verdict and decides the facts, while the judge determines any legal questions and will sentence the defendant if they are convicted. Jury trials can contribute to defendants having a fair trial under the ECHR, but they are not required, and a trial can be fair without a jury. There are already contexts where defendants don’t face juries in England and Wales. These include less serious offences tried in the magistrates’ court, when a defendant pleads guilty, offences tried in the Youth Court, and cases where there is a danger of jury tampering. Some academics and stakeholders [J4MB: feminists, one and all] have suggested that juries are not the best way of reaching a verdict in sexual offences cases. Studies with mock jurors have found that levels of “rape myth acceptance” among jurors affect their verdicts. [J4MB: Absolute BS. William Collins’s piece on the matter here.] This means that jurors will be more or less likely to convict based on pre-existing ideas about sexual offences, rather than their decision being based on the evidence in the case. This reduces the chance of a fair trial. Further, it might be especially traumatising for complainants [J4MB: Women who might well be liars] to have to give evidence in front of 12 laypeople, and advocates might be encouraged to play to the jury or support stereotypes. To deal with this, juries could be removed for sexual offences cases. Instead, a judge, a panel of judges, or a judge with some lay assessors (non-judges) could hear cases. They would give reasons for their verdicts, which would give clarity to all participants. Rather than having to train new juries on myths and misconceptions for every trial, training [J4MB: “Training” by radical feminists]  could be targeted at the judges (and lay assessors). [J4MB: a job creation scheme for otherwise unemployable feminists.]
