This UK-centred blog will take a sceptical approach to feminism by challenging the selective vision, or confirmation bias, of some feminists who choose to view the world through victim-tinted lenses.  In particular, the selective world view held by some ultra-privileged media feminists that enables them to promote their victim status over all men, whatever their… Continue reading About this blog

Some of the best critiques of modern feminism have come from former feminists. Good examples being Christina Hoff Sommers and Janice Fiamengo. Not only are they insightful but they are brave because feminism, along with other cults, views apostasy as the worst crime of all. I was prompted to write this post because of a… Continue reading Janice Fiamengo

A commonly heard trope is that only the education of girls is a global problem. Selectively focussing on the education of girls, it is argued, will lift countries out of poverty and benefit both sexes. A recent variation of this article of faith can be found on the BBC website ‘what planet are we on’… Continue reading Only the education of girls matters

Twenty-twenty has given me some cause for optimism and I think we can see the earliest signs of the pendulum swinging away from the feminists.

The popular narrative is that men have it easy and that most societal biases favour the male sex. You can find this pervasive world view reproduced in numerous media outlets; the BBC… Continue reading Female Privilege: Unpacking the Visible Handbag –

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

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

One of my favourite blogs is Why Evolution if True by Jerry Coyne. I can also recommend the book of the same name. The post of November 25th concerning Suzanne Moore, who has recently resigned from the Guardian, misses the point however. The Guardian used to to be a fine, slightly left leaning, quirky and… Continue reading Suzanne Moore and the Guardian
