Carol Vorderman

https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1835377554514981252 A rather disappointing performance from Carol Vorderman on an LBC chat-show. I like Carol Vorderman, some of her posts in the run-up to the 2024 General Election, exposing the hypocrisy and malfeasance of the then Conservative Government were quite brilliant. This, however, was a shabby and lazy performance. Okay, we all fall short sometimes,… Continue reading Carol Vorderman

Dodgy Feminist Statistics

The half-truths, repeated, authenticated themselves. Joan Didion The ease with which feminists can implant questionable and sometimes overtly fabricated statistics into the narrative should be a cause for concern for everybody, male and female. It requires two things, a willingness to lie and dissemble, and a gullible media that does not examine far-fetched claims. What… Continue reading Dodgy Feminist Statistics

How feminism harms women.

It is, I believe, obvious that feminism has been harmful to men and, in particular, boys. However, this argument alone will ‘cut little ice’ with feminists in the media and in parliament. I want to suggest that feminism is also harmful to women. Not only indirectly through its consequences upon men but directly through distortion… Continue reading How feminism harms women.

A confected moral panic

Many media feminists, J K Rowling, for example, are dissatisfied with Labour Policy and, in particular, with Keir Starmer. Sir Keir has apparently ‘turned his back on women’ – ‘has marginalised women’ – ‘has erased women’. According to the ever-unhinged Julie Birchill, writing in the Spectator, ‘the climate of misogyny now being as rabid as… Continue reading A confected moral panic

Why feminism needs men’s rights activism

The unexamined life is not worth living: The unexamined philosophy is not worth having — feminism has become that unexamined philosophy…. Feminism has become the hegemonic ideology in academia and much of the media. This isn’t even a good thing for feminism. Ideologies that go unchallenged, that do not face questioning voices to keep them… Continue reading Why feminism needs men’s rights activism

Salem was not about misogyny

(History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes) A recent, post on medium.com (here) argued that the Salem witch trials were about misogyny and then drew a straight line from there to the overturning of Roe v. Wade decision in the USA. The lessons to be learnt from Salem are about the dangers of a… Continue reading Salem was not about misogyny

A tale of research misconduct and gullible hacks?

“A lie can travel round the world while the truth is putting on its boots“ A story about women receiving abuse while running appeared in the Guardian here and on the BBC website here. It seems that 2/3 of women experience harassment while running. The real story, I suspect, is one of research misconduct, gullible… Continue reading A tale of research misconduct and gullible hacks?

Men are not to blame for trans culture

There has been some predictable femsplaining from journalist Victoria Smith, writing in The Critic (here). Victoria is one of those ‘prolific’ journalists who could turn winning the Euromillions lottery into a feminist oppression narrative. I put ‘prolific’ in inverted commas because, in reality, she publishes the same articles over and over again. Predictably, she comes… Continue reading Men are not to blame for trans culture

If you want something done…

“If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” The above words were uttered by prospective Republican Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley and were accompanied by loud whoops of approval that were reminiscent of tribal noises heard in cinemas every time the word patriarchy was mentioned in the Barbie… Continue reading If you want something done…
