There have been chaotic and potentially violent scenes where the public had to be cleared from a council room in Gwynedd (North Wales). It seems that protesting individuals were reacting (over reacting perhaps) to a meeting on sex education in Welsh schools (see here). According to the article on the BBC website, passions had been… Continue reading The Welsh War on Boys

I, Me, My- Mesplainers
In a previous post I surveyed the headlines of daily newspapers over two days and found that the majority of articles with I me or my in the title were written by female journalists. Not all such articles are evidence of narcissism. Sometimes, the author was establishing their situation to speak authoritatively about a subject.… Continue reading I, Me, My- Mesplainers
Adult Diagnosis of ADHD
(also dyslexia and autism) But it’s still fashionable to talk about your struggles with ADHD, or your gifted-kid childhood traumas. These aren’t real tribes, though. They’re just shared victimhood labels” N. Rusell – Quillette 16/8/22 (here) Feminists clearly do not feel they are getting a big enough slice of the victim-pie when it comes to the diagnosis… Continue reading Adult Diagnosis of ADHD
The Independent and Women’s Health
When The Independent newspaper first appeared in the 1980s I was one of its most avid readers. It seemed to offer something new, fresh and as its title suggested, independent. Sadly, that is all over now. The Independent is now a zombie clickbait rag, peddling predictable right-on opinions. The article that piqued my interest, is… Continue reading The Independent and Women’s Health

Moira Donegan*
Another week another daft article in the Guardian (here). This time, Moira Donegan (author of the Shitty-Media Men spreadsheet), argues that we are in an antifeminist backlash that is silencing women. Opening the discussion with the defamation lawsuit brought against Amber Heard is not a good place to start if you want to make that… Continue reading Moira Donegan*

Depp v. Heard and The Myth of Male Power
Critical Theory is the thought system that makes toxic feminism – toxic. According to that theory, knowledge is socially constructed and the narratives of the most powerful are what constitute accepted knowledge or truth. This means that proponents Critical Theory have to be able to divine power relations in society and in this regard they… Continue reading Depp v. Heard and The Myth of Male Power
The gender ‘I, Me & My’ gap
(A tale of me – me – me feminism) Feminists like to claim that men are narcissistic and fragile. This is little more than a throwaway jibe that is seldom backed with evidence. If you look at articles in newspapers written by male and female journalists, a different picture begins to merge. The criteria for… Continue reading The gender ‘I, Me & My’ gap
Trans Athletes
The complex story of Emily Bridges Media feminists are feeling a little sorry for themselves over the threat posed to female athletes by competitors who were formerly male. The most recent of these cases in the UK is the cyclist Emily Bridges. In May 2021 Emily finished 43 out of 45 male riders in the… Continue reading Trans Athletes
