Climate change is not a culture war issue

The blame lies with both the right and the identitarian left. Climate change is an existential threat to humanity and needs to be taken seriously by political figures on the left and right. The reality and potential risks of global warming and climate instability are undeniable. However, the possible solutions may vary according to your… Continue reading Climate change is not a culture war issue

Some thoughts on the women’s football World Cup

The women’s football World Cup is over now. In the final, England lost narrowly in terms of goals, but they were completely outplayed by Spain. I would have liked England to win, but my feelings on the matter do not run deep and I seldom watch any football on television. My thoughts on the matter… Continue reading Some thoughts on the women’s football World Cup

Does feminism make women (feel) unsafe?

There can be no doubt that women feel less safe than men out on the streets, despite 3-4 times more violent crime directed at men and boys. This is a good point point to dispose of the often heard argument that violence against men and boys does not matter because it is mostly committed by… Continue reading Does feminism make women (feel) unsafe?

Universal Suffrage

You might think that the only significant event in the path to universal suffrage was the enfranchisement of women in 1918. Indeed, many people I have spoken to believe that men had enjoyed the vote for hundreds of years before women. Another common belief is that universal suffrage came about because of the activities of… Continue reading Universal Suffrage

Real Power Imbalances

Of late, I have been less active on this blog. That is not because I have run out of ideas or I no longer care about the problems that arise from toxic-feminism. For the time being at least, a combination of work pressures and fighting issues in another domain has left me with less time… Continue reading Real Power Imbalances

“…the influential classes, and those who take upon themselves to be leaders of the people, are fully liable to all the passionate error that has ever characterized the maddest mob.” Nathaniel Hawthorne On 20th April, The Guardian, The Independent, and New Statesman covered the shocking statistic that at least 1,300 people died while homeless in… Continue reading Homeless Men

The Welsh War on Boys (2)

In a previous post, I highlighted the problems with the Welsh RSE curriculum (The Welsh War on Boys) which has an overtly political and feminist content that is little short of indoctrination. I do not believe these problems are specific to the Welsh curriculum and similar reports are coming from Scotland and England. Some of… Continue reading The Welsh War on Boys (2)

Toxic Femininity at Stanford*

Is this what toxic femininity looks like? In previous posts, I have discussed the greater tendency of female academics to favour shutting down or disinviting speakers they disagree with. Helen Dale noted that ‘women are systematically more hostile to freedom of speech than are men. As institutions, including universities, have become more feminised, they have become more… Continue reading Toxic Femininity at Stanford*

Charlotte Proudman: Women will not be silenced?

Women are systematically more hostile to freedom of speech than are men. As institutions, including universities, have become more feminised, they have become more hostile to freedom of expression and thought” Helen Dale, Cap X. Men should respect. International Women’s Day and men should expect the same from women on International Men’s Day. That does not mean,… Continue reading Charlotte Proudman: Women will not be silenced?

Let’s blame men for trans* issue

Following the debacle over the Scottish gender self-identification bill there appears to be a campaign, organised by some the of the less self critical strands of feminism, to blame the problem on men. This ignores the fact that there are more biological females transitioning to male, than males heading in the opposite direction. It also… Continue reading Let’s blame men for trans* issue
