Incel (involuntarily celibate) has become a derogatory term or a put-down for a man (usually) who is unable to attract a mate. It is distinct from MGTOW or men who choose to go their own way. I suspect there may be some overlap and sometimes the MGTOW identity is adopted as a post hoc justification of involuntary… Continue reading ‘Incels’ will always be with us
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.
Only girls matter
Another matronising femsplainer at the The Conversation Anyone who is any doubt about the degradation of academic standards in the UK should read The Conversation, an online outlet written by UK academics. You might expect balanced arguments, nuance and rigorous background research. You might expect that, but you will struggle to find it. What you… Continue reading Only girls matter
Suzanne Moore and the Guardian
One of my favourite blogs is Why Evolution if True by Jerry Coyne. I can also recommend the book of the same name. However, the post of November 25th concerning Suzanne Moore, who has recently resigned from the Guardian, misses the point. The Guardian used to to be a fine, slightly left leaning, quirky and… Continue reading Suzanne Moore and the Guardian
The Guardian men’s page
(Even the men’s page is full of asinine misandrist dreck) The Guardian is notorious for its toxic coverage of gender issues and in the main it seems to reflect the views of privileged, female, Oxbridge educated, social sciences and humanities (in particular English Literature) graduates. In its own way, the Guardian is as nasty and… Continue reading The Guardian men’s page
The Feminist Glass Escalator
Privately Educated (mostly), Oxbridge, English Literature feminists in the media I am often struck by the lack of cognitive diversity among commentators on gender issues at outlets such as the BBC, Guardian and the Independent. They are almost invariably female, privately educated, from a social sciences and humanities background (usually English Literature) and disproportionately Oxbridge… Continue reading The Feminist Glass Escalator
Female leaders and COVID
The press has been full of articles praising female leaders while ignoring some egregious examples of poor behaviour and poor leadership. The latest example of poor behaviour concerns the female Member of Parliament Margaret Ferrier who represents Rutherglen and Hamilton West in Scotland. For a brief report of her actions click here. It seems that… Continue reading Female leaders and COVID
Female Academics More Likely To Discriminate
On August 3rd, 2020 the Policy Exchange Report, ‘Academic Freedom in the UK‘ was published and it has gone on to receive cross-party support. The report also met with approval across the range broadsheet newspapers including the Times, The Guardian (half-heartedly) and the Daily Telegraph. The report notes that there has been an expansion of… Continue reading Female Academics More Likely To Discriminate
The comment I couldn’t post in The Independent
On Sunday 13 September 2020 Ceri Radford reviewed Laura Bates book ‘Men who Hate Women’ – you can find the review here. No surprise that they are both Cambridge English Literature graduates – the old girl network in progress. When I tried to post a comment on Ceri Radford’s review it was blocked on the… Continue reading The comment I couldn’t post in The Independent
COVID -19 and Female Supremacists
Media feminists have responded to the COVID 19 pandemic in stereotypical ways. These can be summed up as, More men are dying but it is their own fault through not washing their hands and having poor health habits. Male morbidly and mortality from COVID 19 is higher but women are suffering more. After all, nothing… Continue reading COVID -19 and Female Supremacists
Whac-a-mole
This piece of toxic feminism appeared in The Conversation on August 3rd –The female brain: why damaging myths about women in science keep coming back in new forms. Increasingly the Conversation, a periodical sponsored by a number of UK Universities, is a go-to place for toxic-feminism. That, in turn, tells us a lot about the degradation… Continue reading Whac-a-mole
