It was predictable that as the horrific events in Ukraine unfold, femsplainers in the media would be claiming that wars would not happen if the world was run by women. Putin’s actions were even attributed to toxic masculinity by a few commentators. This comes hot on the heels of the now thoroughly debunked claims that… Continue reading Female Leaders and War*
Women Who Hate Women?
The book, Men Who Hate Women, written by Laura Bates, sets the bar low when it comes to defining what hate is. Any disagreement with feminist orthodoxy or any men’s rights advocacy, is sufficient evidence. As a result, people who manifestly do not hate women are sucked into her divisive narrative. Examples include Warren Farrell,… Continue reading Women Who Hate Women?
I’m a Victim
Just a little place filler that recapitulates a previous post on mine on virtuous victim signaling being part of the dark triad of personality traits that include, narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – see post here. I am sure we can all think of numerous media feminists who fit into this toxic stereotype. This YouTube video… Continue reading I’m a Victim
Diversity in the media
The subheading of my last post, Lit Crit Femsplainers was ‘the diversity problem that nobody is talking about‘ – Now I realise that this is not quite true and a better subheading might have been ‘the diversity problem that almost nobody is talking about.’ That person who is talking and writing about the problem is… Continue reading Diversity in the media
Lit Crit Femsplainers
A Diversity Problem That Nobody is Talking About I have written elsewhere in this blog about the overrepresentation of female English Literature Graduates, from Oxbridge in particular, in our media. Most of these journalists have pronounced feminist leanings. See The Feminist Glass Escalator, Laura Bates and the axis of radicalisation. For an amusing account of… Continue reading Lit Crit Femsplainers
Abusive women
It is commonly assumed that women in the public eye face more abuse and those dishing out the abuse are men. As always, the evidence is mixed. That is why this story caught my eye (click here for a full account). In a series of emails, Sundas Alam (female) threatened Bradford West’s Labour MP Naz… Continue reading Abusive women
The Glass Blindspot*
(What do Will Knowland, James Damore, Allessandro Strumia, Larry Summers and now Glass Blind Spot have in common?) Feminists like to claim that it is they who lack power but were they to ask themselves two simple questions they might reach a different conclusion. First, how many feminists have lost their jobs for expressing often… Continue reading The Glass Blindspot*
Alexandra Topping
More misandry from the Guardian That zombie click-bait rag, the Guardian, has been excelling itself with the misandrist dross it publishes. The article below, written by Alexandra Topping, appeared in the Guardian on December 23rd. Alexandra is yet another Oxbridge English Literature graduate writing for that ‘newspaper.’ A degree in English Literature, particularly from ‘Oxbridge’… Continue reading Alexandra Topping
Jess Phillips MP
*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
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
