I often start my day by looking for new articles in Quillette which is an online journal supporting free-thought. Quillette has given a voice to many people who have been ‘cancelled’ or whose voice has been suppressed by censorious individuals, mostly on the progressive left. For this reason, it has been labeled as alt-right but… Continue reading Faux victimhood and narcissism
Author: femgoggles
I was abandoned by my parents in the black mountains and raised by timberwolves. On my return to the 'civilised world' with questionable table manners, I became a detached observer of human behaviour in general and gender relations in particular. This blog is the product of those observations.
The smearing of Jordan Peterson
I have said in a previous post that I have mixed feelings about Jordan Peterson. I agree with some of what he says and disagree with other things. However, I do not see him as a folk-devil in the way ‘progressives’ do. Indeed, to me, his accusers seem to be a lot worse and most… Continue reading The smearing of Jordan Peterson
Fatbergs and gamma bias
This post was prompted by a perfectly unobjectionable story from the Guardian. Click on the image below if you want to see the article. Sewers have arguably been the greatest contribution to our public health and the people who build and maintain them (mostly men) are largely invisible. Ask yourself this question- who saved the… Continue reading Fatbergs and gamma bias
Jordan Peterson vs fragile feminist
I am not Jordan Peterson’s number one fan. I agree with some of what he says and disagree with some of it. That nuanced approach is not allowed and it seems that you either have to be an uncritical fan or a hater. Like the rest of us, Jordan is a complex flawed human being… Continue reading Jordan Peterson vs fragile feminist
Victim mongering
Just when you think the Guardian might be improving, some bit of new victim-mongering crops up. The article ‘There is a lot of distrust’: why women in their 30s are hesitant about Covid vaccination‘ was published in the Guardian of Jan 30 2021. The article written by Lucia Osborne-Crowley can be accessed here or by… Continue reading Victim mongering
Toxic femininity?
*Mystery Man Muses has just written very thoughtfully on this subject in his blog post of October 6th that you can find here. He differs over some aspects of this topic and I hope you read his post as well as mine. Toxic femininity like toxic masculinity is a pretty daft idea. However, a recent… Continue reading Toxic femininity?
About this blog
This UK-centred blog will take a sceptical approach to feminism by challenging the selective vision, or confirmation bias, of some feminists who choose to view the world through victim-tinted lenses. In particular, the selective world view held by some ultra-privileged media feminists that enables them to promote their victim status over all men, whatever their… Continue reading About this blog
Janice Fiamengo
Some of the best critiques of modern feminism have come from former feminists. Good examples being Christina Hoff Sommers and Janice Fiamengo. Not only are they insightful but they are brave because feminism, along with other cults, views apostasy as the worst crime of all. I was prompted to write this post because of a… Continue reading Janice Fiamengo
Only the education of girls matters
A commonly heard trope is that only the education of girls is a global problem. Selectively focussing on the education of girls, it is argued, will lift countries out of poverty and benefit both sexes. A recent variation of this article of faith can be found on the BBC website ‘what planet are we on’… Continue reading Only the education of girls matters
WHO and UN – misandrist?
Bias against men’s issues within the United Nations and the World Health Organisation: A content analysis. Twenty-twenty has given me some cause for optimism and I think we can see the earliest signs of the pendulum swinging away from the feminists. Laura Bates’ book ‘Men Who Hate Women’ was, in my opinion, a recognition and… Continue reading WHO and UN – misandrist?
