The latest bit of feminist tosh to emerge from a female Labour MP appeared in The Independent see here. Marsha de Cordoba is MP for Battersea and reading this article makes you realise why the Labour faces electoral extinction. I was a member of the Labour Party for most of my adult life and it… Continue reading The Labour Party’s problem with men (2)
Why I don’t feel sorry for gender-critical feminists
Feminists are brilliant at analysing any problem and extracting from it that, and only that, which makes them the victims. One of the most recent is the problem with trans-women and the fact that women quite properly feel threatened by the presence of biological males in what would normally be considered as women-only spaces such… Continue reading Why I don’t feel sorry for gender-critical feminists
Jordan Peterson and Heather Heying* on Patriarchy
*Since I wrote this post Heather Heying and Brett Weinstein have been promoting the use of ivermectin in Covid-19, both as a prophylaxis and an alternative to vaccination. I dissociate myself from this aspect of Heather Heying’s work. Ivermectin is an unfounded and possibly harmful treatment for Covid-19 and vaccination remains the best form of… Continue reading Jordan Peterson and Heather Heying* on Patriarchy
Laura Bates – the missing chapter
Laura Bates is the author of a toxic and divisive book “Men Who Hate Women’. The book tells us much about Laura, her love of confirmation bias, and her disregard for nuance and normal standards of fact-checking. The book tells us nothing useful about relations between men and women. Nonetheless, it has received favourable reviews… Continue reading Laura Bates – the missing chapter
NHS Diversity A-Z
(No S for scepticism or N for Nuance) A disturbing document that reflects ideological thinking in the UK National Health Service (NHS) briefly appeared on a public facing part of the NHS website before it was taken down and hidden in a password-protected area. Presumably, this was to ensure that the taxpayers who fund the… Continue reading NHS Diversity A-Z

His crime, which led to his dismissal, was to make a YouTube video that discussed the concept of masculinity. Given that the pupils had previously had to endure the teaching from Laura Bates you might… Continue reading Victims of feminist intolerance
Lived Experience
One of the more toxic concepts of Critical Theory is the overriding importance of ‘lived experience’ and the disqualification of empirical data and statistical reasoning. The latter are seen as tools of the western white male patriarchy and not to be trusted. There are several problems with an approach that centres unverified ‘lived experience’ and… Continue reading Lived Experience
Meghan Markle and the missing 49 million men
Covid-19 has brought out the worst in some feminists. One common theme is that that the pandemic is affecting women more than men. No surprise then that Meghan Markle, who speaks fluent feminist cliché, has jumped on this bandwagon and no surprise either that her comments have been uncritically reported across a range of news… Continue reading Meghan Markle and the missing 49 million men
Laura Bates and pervasive misogyny
Laura Bates appears to believe that misogyny permeates society and the framework in which this operates is an invisible one – the patriarchy. The evidence for this is unverified ‘lived experience’ of women and even then, only ‘lived experience’ that conforms with feminist liturgy. The problems with ‘lived experience’ rather than empirical evidence will be… Continue reading Laura Bates and pervasive misogyny
Laura Bates and the axis of radicalisation
Laura Bates is something of a media celebrity and the author of books including Everyday Sexism and Men Who Hate Women. She is guaranteed uncritical acceptance on daytime TV and I have yet to see her asked a remotely challenging question. That is a pity because her most recent book, at least, is ‘full of… Continue reading Laura Bates and the axis of radicalisation
