Our thanks to Nigel for a piece on the BBC website, Government shuns CBI lobby giant after rape claim. He writes:

One wonders if the CBI’s male executives might be feeling rather less inclined to virtue signal on the topic of quotas for women on boards and fast-tracking promotion of women. It seems this has not made them immune to the sort of scandal that makes the “Pence” doctrine of avoiding  women in work as much as possible look like common sense.

Increasingly the logic is not “diversity” but strict segregation of the workforce so no such accusations, which it seems always are followed by a social media storm of “he looked at me funny”, “it was “creepy” etc. could be possible.  Perhaps one could be forgiven some schadenfreude at seeing the unctuously PC CBI staffers caught in this sort of mess. They’ll find the truth and their innocence count for nothing.

How have major organizations not yet found an antidote to the feminists’ tactics? Feminists whip up ridiculous allegations of sexism, sexual offences and misogyny, following which the organizations put numbers of these useless parasites into senior positions where they force the organizations to do their bidding, including the advancement of women far more than they merit. The Metropolitan Police and the Welsh Rugby Football Union are but two recent examples.

Like Nigel, I have zero sympathy for the CBI. Over 10 years ago the organization was instrumental in driving the ‘women on boards’ agenda, and their senior people (including the director general) point-blank refused to engage with the evidence I sent them on behalf of Campaign for Merit in Business of the causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and financial decline. One of my letters from 2012 to the director general is here.

Our thanks to Nigel for this:

Here comes the pay gap again. These two pieces neatly illustrate the chicanery with these figures. One article Men out-earning women: Five things you need to know – BBC News does a reasonable job of explaining that its not about being paid lees than men but about the different jobs, and choices made. Pointing out the really big issue is children when women seek a work/life balance.

Of course no one bothers to mention  the other choices made as the data also shows its the arrival of a child that propels men to seek better pay through promotion or additional hours. Yet next to it is this  Eight out of ten firms pay men more than women – BBC News which merrily uses weasel stats. to suggest women just  paid less with various lines like this  “At Easyjet, despite an improvement from last year, the average woman takes home just 53p for every £1 earned by men”. [J4MB: Hmm, might it possibly be because the vast majority of pilots are men? Should Easyjet pay their pilots much less, or their other employees much more? Maybe both? Of course the pilots would leave the company, but I’m sure Easyjet would operate fine without pilots.]

Of course what they don’t suggest, using their fancy footwork on stats, that because the most profitable sectors are those with the biggest pay gap, maybe its because they are “dominated by men” they are the most profitable! That is the correlation on their graph.

A woeful article by Paola Diana in the Express. I’ve debated with many feminists on TV and radio over the past 10+ years, and I’d say Paola Diana was the most stupid of them (and that’s a high bar she’s jumping). Looking into her eyes, I kept having the thought, “The lights are on, but there’s nobody in, is there?” I won’t link to any of those discussions but I thought you might enjoy Elizabeth Hobson’s encounter with the fruitcake last year, Elizabeth Hobson and Paola Diana discuss “dick pics” on RT International (video, 11:10).

A hilarious piece on the BBC. An extract:

Ofcom said it would examine whether it complied with rules about politicians presenting programmes, and whether it included a sufficient range of views.

A sufficient range of views, eh? Clearly the BBC themselves are exempt from this requirement.
