Our thanks to Jack for this. Extracts:

A single mother was captured taking a celebratory selfie outside a courthouse after she avoided jail for a nightclub glassing attack which left a builder requiring plastic surgery.

Cherelle Brown, 27, took smirking photos of herself on the steps of the building then uploaded them to her social media page with the caption: ‘Feeling the luckiest little b**** ever right now!’

Minutes earlier Brown had successfully begged a judge not to lock her up claiming she was ‘regretful and remorseful’ for throwing a bottle in Samuel Litherland’s face in a drunken rage…

At Preston Crown Court, Brown, of Blackburn, admitted unlawful wounding but said a stretch in jail would be ‘disruptive’ for her three children, one a boy and the other two girls aged four and 18 months.

After being given an 18 month jail sentence suspended for two years she posted the pouting picture and said: ‘One door closes and another opens! Feeling the luckiest little b**** ever right now! Once again the kids have saved me from myself.’…

The court heard Brown had a string of convictions for theft and assault. She told police she had little recollection of the attack on Mr Litherland because she had been drinking.

Our thanks to Groan for this. He writes:

Government funded course. Two things occur to me. One is that an awful lot of this stuff is charlatans fleecing public bodies, feedback I had from quite a few of my female former colleagues was that they had a “nice day out” rather than learned much on such “empowering” courses. On the other hand the list of skills and abilities that men must either have in their genes, or learn by doing the job, should make us a much better bet as future managers, certainly much less high maintenance in every way.

As always with Groan, good points, well made. The issue of gender differences in confidence is of enduring interest to me. Why do women need such courses, you might well ask, when men apparently don’t? To me, the answers are obvious:

1. As a sex, women tend to be more anxious than men, more narcissistic, and spend more time and effort managing and exploiting relationships rather than building competences.

2. Only one in seven women is work-centred, while four in seven men are (Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory)

3. From the moment they leave full-time education, women are markedly more likely than men to either not engage in paid employment, or to only work part-time. They therefore spent less time than men in building competences, and to advance they’re more likely than men to leech off those (invariably men) with the competences they lack, as mentees. Men don’t need mentors, thereby proving for literally the gerzillionth time that men are better than women. (We recommend the book, “Men are Better Than Women”, by an American, Dick Masterson. Hilarious.)

4. Building competences is the key to building confidence, for both sexes. Women want confidence without putting in the huge amount of time and effort required to build sufficient competences in advance. As so often the case with women, they want the upside, but not the downside.

The University of Kansas is offering a course on angry white men and the role of “dominant and subordinate masculinities” as they connect to “rights-based movements of women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals.”

“Angry White Male Studies” (HUM 365), which is being offered during the fall 2019 semester, will explore “the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger” in Europe and America from 1950 to present, according to the course description.

There are so many things deeply amiss with women in the modern world, and they’re all of their own making. One is their bid to hide their often passive, anxious, narcissistic natures through celebrating and identifying with women such as Madonna and Beyonce, in a bid to appear “strong”, and they’re suckers for ridiculous “empowering” things such as this. Because self-objectifying and strutting around in public looking like a drunk hooker is empowering, right?

Part of an account by Florence Derrick on the Eventbrite page about the STRUT masterclass:

I’m staring at my own face in the mirror, and wondering if I’ve ever truly done it before. Taking in the curve of my eyebrows, the shape of my jaw; noticing my dimples and the pinprick scar on my nose. I’m struggling to remember the last time I contemplated my reflection without seeing it through a prism of self-judgement. [J4MB: That would be within the past hour or two, probably.]

“I am beautiful,” Madam Storm cries, and I repeat it after her. “I am enough. I am a woman. I am here.” [J4MB: Think how laughable it would sound if any man stated, “I am handsome. I am enough. I am a man. I am here.”]

I’d signed up to the STRUT masterclass expecting to learn how to walk in heels like a boss, [J4MB: An important skill for any boss, we can all agree] but things just got real. Female confidence coach Madam Storm uses six-inch stilettos as a tool to get women not just strutting their stuff, but owning their space – physically and psychologically… [J4MB: What does “owning their space” MEAN?]

Not many people would be able to get me to publicly perform a sexy catwalk. But within the first five minutes of STRUT, it’s clear that Madam Storm has a special gift for creating a safe, empowering environment that glows with sisterhood. We stand in a circle and introduce ourselves, clapping reassuringly at each other’s backstories. One woman has just begun chemotherapy. Another is going through a bad break up. Others are there to celebrate a birthday. All are just as keen to support each other as Madam Storm is.

“In this class, we don’t say ‘yes’,” our teacher begins, dressed in a black leotard, over-the-knee velvet boots and a jaunty trilby. “We say ‘YAAASSSS, HONEY’…

It takes courage to walk tall, especially in the face of life’s most earth-shattering curveballs. My afternoon at STRUT has left me in awe of the strength shown by these women. [J4MB: Since when was exhibitionism “strength”?] In their honour, I keep my heels on, and power strut to the Tube to begin my Saturday night. Shoulders back, core engaged, tits up. What other people think of me is none of my business. [J4MB: A sure sign of narcissism.]

Pathetic. Attempting to appear more confident in such ways only emphasises these women’s deep-seated emotional neediness. Cynical women are making money from gullible weak women who want to appear strong. The latter have to become full-time actresses, in effect, in a bid to sustain their own fantasy, and that must inevitably take a toll on their mental health.

The BBC published this half an hour ago. 10 minutes ago, BBC Newsnight broadcast footage of a team of Israeli scientists talking about the failed mission. Not a woman in sight. At least one lesson is clear. Missions fail when women aren’t in charge.

Our thanks to Alan for this. The start of the piece, emphases ours:

A serial drunk driver who smashed into three cars after downing a bottle of wine was spared jail by a judge because she is a woman.

Victoria Parry, 30, was told by a woman judge at Warwick Crown Court that if she had been a man ‘it would have been straight down the stairs’ to prison.

The court heard the alcoholic was driving her Fiat Stilo when she ploughed into three vehicles before crashing into a ditch where her car burst into flames.

She was dragged from the burning wreck by other drivers after she crashed on the A46 near Stratford-upon-Avon on May 23 last year shortly before 7pm.

Parry, a shop manager who lives in a £235,000 home near Stratford-upon-Avon, already had two previous convictions for drunk driving when she appeared at court yesterday.

She admitted dangerous driving and was given a three-month suspended sentence.

Judge Sarah Buckingham said: ‘If Miss Parry was a man, there is no question it would have been straight down the stairs, because this is a shocking case of dangerous driving against a background of two previous convictions for excess alcohol.

‘But this offence was committed in May 2018 and she has not been in trouble since. [J4MB: Wow. Ms Parry has managed not to get caught drink driving over the past 11 months. Give her a medal.] She has clearly got an alcohol problem. She is, whether she admits it or not, an alcoholic.’

Addressing Parry, the judge added: ‘You richly deserve an immediate custodial sentence of 18 months. [J4MB: “But you own a vagina, and therefore cannot be held accountable for your actions”] I want to see whether you can really address the issues rather than paying lip service.

‘If you succeed, I will not make the custody immediate. If you don’t comply, I will conclude that you are not worthy of the chance.’

The court heard Parry almost caused a major crash when she overtook into oncoming traffic before ploughing into three vehicles.

Later in the piece:

Lucy Tapper, defending, said Parry started drinking up to two bottles of wine a day after being in an abusive relationship.

The standard claim made for female criminals, probably not even followed up. And the incident happened AFTER the relationship, anyway. Bottom line, a man is responsible for a female criminal’s actions, as usual. Maybe there was no such relationship, or if there was, she was the abuser.

Being in an abusive relationship should not be considered a mitigating circumstance. If women lack the moral agency to leave such relationships, they lack the moral agency rightly expected of adults, and should be denied the rights that come with adulthood e.g. the right to drive, the right to purchase alcohol. We would all be safer if Victoria Parry was denied those two rights, rather than being released to drink drive and possibly injure or kill people in future. Maybe it will take her killing people through her drunk driving, to finally be incarcerated.

A piece by Peter Walker, political correspondent, in today’s Guardian. Predictably, the comments are disabled. An extract:

The Labour MP Wes Streeting said he was concerned that Davies would attend the event. “The International Conference on Men’s Issues is at best a gathering of insecure and sexist man-babies, but more worryingly it also includes speakers with a whole host of extremist views,” he said.

“Philip Davies should not be lending what little credibility he has on gender equality issues to such an event, and it’s time that more men in parliament called out sexism and misogyny directed at women.”
