‘We must build an NHS that works for women’: Health Secretary Matt Hancock pledges to close gender pay gap in the health service

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2019:

One of the inevitable and predictable consequences of the feminisation of the NHS over the past 40+ years has been a severe drop in the effectiveness of the organization, as it has pandered to women’s demands for part-time working and flexible working. The obvious solution would be to reverse the feminisation, and recruit far more men than women in future, but that’s never going to happen.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. Matt Hancock believes pandering even more to women is the solution to the woes of the NHS. The start of the piece:

The UK’s Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced plans to close the NHS’s gender gap.

Mr Hancock will today say he wants to promote more flexible working options for women and promote them into better-paid jobs in the health service. [J4MB emphasis]

He will call gender equality ‘mission critical’ for the NHS and say it needs to change to accommodate ‘how people expect to work and live now’.

And he will praise the courage of female NHS staff who have faced huge personal difficulty because of the way their jobs are organised.

Mr Hancock, MP for West Suffolk, will make the comments in a speech at the Royal College of Physicians’ annual conference in Manchester this afternoon.

‘We need an NHS working culture that reflects Britain 2019 and accommodates how people expect to work and live now,’ he will say.

‘So it should be deeply troubling to all of us that the NHS gender pay gap is still 23 per cent, that male GPs are, on average, paid a third more than female GPs and that over half of junior doctors are women, but at consultant level it’s only a third.

‘The gender gap is a good barometer of the health of the NHS, [J4MB: What an idiotic assertion] and it’s clear we must do better.

IRELAND: Gallery moves Barbie exhibit on violence against women following complaints

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2019:

Article caption: It had been hoped that the powerful work would inspire a discussion around violence against women (Pineapple Black/PA)

Our thanks to Sean for this. The start of the piece:

An art exhibit showing Barbie dolls being abused in a bid to spark a conversation about violence against women and girls has been moved by a gallery after it received complaints.

The work shows images of the children’s toy being kicked by boyfriend Ken, giving birth to an unwanted child, and hanging herself from a tree.

The directors of the Pineapple Black gallery in Middlesbrough’s Hillstreet shopping centre in the UK had hoped that the exhibition, created by artist Lidia Lidia, would raise awareness of violence against females and the “realities that a lot of women and young girls actually end up living in”.

But it had to be moved from the premises’ front window after passers-by complained about the graphic images and that fact that young children were able to see it.

We know that in couples experiencing partner violence, in the minority of cases where it isn’t reciprocal, it’s twice as likely that the perpetrator is the woman, rather than the man. An image of Barbie kicking Ken would be more realistic than the converse, statistically speaking.

Feminists, eh? What are they like?

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2019:

An image of a group of women has recently come to our attention (below). While the women are obviously not normal women, but feminists – the anger and obsession with female genitalia are clues – we have no evidence to indicate they’re feminists at Cambridge University, so hopefully they won’t turn up at our talks there on 24 May. They could be feminists anywhere, to be honest.

We can only hope the people in the building opposite didn’t glance out of their windows at the critical moment.

Kathy Clugston, 49, BBC continuity announcer, knows nothing about gardening. She will host Gardener’s Question Time.

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2019:

For the sake of my mental health I restrict how much BBC TV and radio I listen to, in particular avoiding Radio 4 at all costs (you rarely have to listen to Radio 4 for more than a minute or two before becoming aware of feminist influence). The ratio of women to men has become obscene – even on sports reporting – and much of the output seems to be women talking to other women about how they feel about things. And so it is that even a woman who knows nothing about gardening can host Gardener’s Question Time, a Radio 4 staple for 70+ years. An extract from the BBC piece, from the penultimate paragraph:

Last month, former GQT chairman Professor Stefan Buczacki accused the BBC of ‘dumbing down’ after her appointment was announced.

Women’s groups left outraged over the coverage of Parental Alienation on Woman Sour

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2019:

Our thanks to Catherine for this. Even Woman Sour is starting to tell the truth about Parental Alienation. About damned time.

Join me in cancelling your TV licence. Stop funding BBC TV left-wing and feminist anti-male propaganda.

The requirement to have a TV licence if you want to watch any live TV – not just BBC TV – is like having to buy The Guardian when you buy another newspaper. I’ve just done something I should have done years ago, and cancelled my TV licence. Last year over a million British people did the same, depriving the organisation of £150+ million.

I’m sick to death of funding BBC left-wing and feminist anti-male propaganda, which run through so much BBC TV output – drama, “comedy”, non-fiction, news, the whole shooting match. BBC Radio is also a major source of the propaganda, of course, and is also funded by the TV licence fee, but at least we don’t have to pay for listening to BBC Radio.

Millions of people are paying for TV licences despite not watching any live TV output. So, how can you discover if you need to have a TV licence? Check here. Then, if you don’t need one, inform TV Licensing (TVL) here. You need to give them a month’s notice, and pay a final monthly Direct Debit if you have one set up, but then that’s it. You’ll soon stop funding BBC TV left-wing and feminist anti-male propaganda, and walk taller thereafter. Congratulations!

I can’t recall the last thing that gave me as much pleasure as cancelling my TV licence. Now, what to do with my windfall of £159.12 p.a.?

AUSTRALIA: New push to rename body parts like the Adam’s apple and Achilles’ tendon because they are ‘irrelevant and misogynistic’ (Dr Kristin Small is a blithering idiot).

Our thanks to Geoff for this piece. The start:

Australian doctors are calling for people to stop using terms named after ‘men, kings and gods’ to describe body parts – such as Adam’s apple and Achilles heel.

Queensland specialist obstetrician, gynaecologist and anatomy lecturer, Dr Kristin Small, teaches students to phase out irrelevant and misogynistic medical language.

She believes the terms represent older generations and is pushing to use more practical and descriptive terms for body parts.

‘I think we have a personal choice to decolonise our language and these historical terms will fade out,’ Dr Small told the Courier Mail.

Dr Small said she makes sure her students still know eponyms for exam purposes and says there are always alternatives for the ‘dead man’s name’.

Women are strong! Women are amazing!! Women are as tall as men!!!

On BBC News at Ten last night, there were excerpts from Boris Johnson’s Covid-19 press conference earlier in the day. The ITV News file is here (video).

I almost choked on my chilled Evian water (ice and a slice of lime) when I spotted that the woman also in the press conference, Dido, was standing on a plinth – play the video from 18:07, she appears a few seconds later. The only possible explanation, I think, was to make her look as tall as the prime minister. Women’s emotional neediness knows no bounds.

I imagine Dido will be pleased to return to her singing career once the pandemic is over.

Far more men than women are dying from Covid-19. Women affected more by the pandemic.

Our thanks to Groan for this. A recent study by psychologists at the University of Leighton Buzzard – as yet, unpublished – revealed that 99.2% of “academics” producing “studies” on “gender gaps” are women. I shall be calling on the Patriarchy Council to have them all fired.
