*My two posts about Jess Phillips have been getting significant extra and unexpected traffic. I fear this may be due to Elon Musk’s intemperate and inaccurate Tweets. While I remain opposed to much that Jess Phillips stands for if you are looking for more dirt of the sort thrown by Elon Musk you are looking… Continue reading Jess Phillips MP
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.
Emma Renold and Jessica Ringrose
Rod Liddle has written an engaging piece in the Sunday Times of 12/12/21 that you can find here. Rod laments the plan in New Zealand to give traditional Maori ways of knowing equal billing with science within the science curriculum of schools and universities. Naturally, Maori folk law and history should be taught in New… Continue reading Emma Renold and Jessica Ringrose
Two BBC Headlines
(A tale of gamma bias at the BBC) Two articles from the BBC News website tell us a story about the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). When suffering involves women, gender will be to the foreground. The story may not even be entirely about women, it only has to be a majority for the headline to… Continue reading Two BBC Headlines
The Guardian and Judith Butler
The Guardian appears to believe that the works of Judith Butler are sacred canonical texts that are beyond disproof or criticism. For those of you are not familiar with the work of Judith Butler she is a ‘philosopher’ who’s work is rooted in postmodernism and the author of books such as Gender Trouble: Feminism and… Continue reading The Guardian and Judith Butler
Female academics and ‘wokeness’

Professor Emma Renold (2)
(More on the boy-blind professor of childhood studies) Feminists love their neologisms. Mansplaining, manspreading and the shecession are recent examples culled from daily newspapers in the UK. Today, I would like to coin my own neologism – andranopsia (an means without, opsia means seeing and andros means man), a condition the renders men and boys… Continue reading Professor Emma Renold (2)
Flannery Dean
Sometimes the Guardian comes up with a headline that is so epically stupid that even my cynicism struggles to catch up. The Guardian of 30th November contained the article below. Click here if you want to read it. It was written by Flannery Dean who, even by Guardian standards, must be pretty clueless. I haven’t… Continue reading Flannery Dean
COVID and Male Employment
A big part of the feminist project in the media is to keep female victimhood to the foreground at all times. This can be seen as one dimension of gamma bias that operates within a matrix of four judgements about gender; doing good (celebration), doing harm (perpetration), receiving good (privilege) and receiving harm (victimhood). For… Continue reading COVID and Male Employment
Professor Emma Renold
(Another post in the series on feminist quackademics) Emma Renold is Professor Childhood studies at Cardiff University. You might then think that her area of interest would include both boys and girls. If so, think again, her output is heavily skewed towards girls. According to her web page (here)… Working with feminist, queer and post-humanist… Continue reading Professor Emma Renold
COP26 and Dodgy Feminist Statistics
The half-truths, repeated, authenticated themselves. Joan Didion, ‘The Womens Movement’ It had to come, it was only a matter of time before gender activists put their stamp on the COP26 proceedings. As you might expect, Gender Day at COP26 only looked at the impact of climate change on women and girls there was no mention… Continue reading COP26 and Dodgy Feminist Statistics
