Harriet’s gender bender agenda

Our thanks to Melanie Phillips for this excellent article in the Spectator
So what do you expect if you have something called an ‘Equality Minister’? She will impose gross injustice wherever she can in the interests of a coercive and preposterous ideology. Harriet Harman’s proposal that companies should positively discriminate in favour of women job candidates (ie discriminate against men) is yet another example of the way in which feminism got hijacked and turned from a campaign for fairness for women into an onslaught against men. Her proposal is not only …

Campaign of boy-bashing

Not content with attacking men, the feminist lobby is now turning its vitriol against boys.
This morning we see in the press yet one more plank in the Government’s campaign to vilify and demoralise boys. Psychologist Linda Papadopolous published her report on the sexualisation of youngsters. Commissioned by the Home office, the report finds what everyone already knows, that children are exposed to inappropriate sexual images. The sub-text to the report, however, is that girls are victims of sexual abuse and boys are to blame.
The facts of domestic abuse are studiously …

Australia – the silent abuse against men.

In this day-time TV interview, Dr Elizabeth Celi calls for a national debate about Australian social attitudes which demean normal and natural masculinity and manhood, and denigrate fatherhood: “Where women were many decades ago, in terms of the silent phenomena of domestic abuse, that is where men are now.”

Kenya’s Daily Nation reports that 1.5m men are victims of domestic violence:
“Men stay in abusive and violent relationships to protect their children afraid that if they left they will never be allowed to see their children again. The man is afraid the woman will influence the children badly by misleading them that he is a bad person or that he doesn’t love them.” The group called for active advocacy to fight domestic violence against men.

Michelle Obama and Equality

While husband Barak attended the G20 summit, Michelle Obama took the opportunity to visit a North London school. Excellent – the students must have been delighted, an event they will always remember, and be encouraged by. But why, oh why, did Ms Obama choose a girls-only school to visit, and why did she speak about the world needing strong women?
It is boys rather than girls who are disadvantaged these days in schooling. They are the ones who need encouragement, so why visit a single-sex school, and why make it girls rather than …

Violent Wife Eliminates Father

My name’s Dave. I know people are more used to hearing that it’s women who are abused in a relationship, and maybe this is more common, but it does happen to men too.
I met my wife-to-be about thirteen years ago. Straightaway she seemed very clingy and constantly required reassurance that I loved her, but I wasn’t too worried by this as she’d had a difficult childhood with parents who didn’t seem to care that much about her.
We were married a year after we met. It was then that the real …

The Suicide Gap

We are reminded daily in the media of the plethora of gaps purporting to prove women are seriously disadvantaged in our society. The most often repeated of these is, of course, the so-called pay gap (of which more in a later article).
But the one I’d like to draw your attention to today is a real gap, revealing a very big difference between the genders in the UK. One I will call the suicide gap.

A view from Tracey Wilkinson
“The passing of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill this week raised quite a few concerns for me, not least the further downgrading of the role of the father in families and society today”.
Why should it concern me? I am after all a woman, a single parent, and if I were to really look at the description of terms, a liberal feminist, since I believe that men and women should be considered equal in terms of law and society. So I should be jumping for joy. …
