SCOTLAND: Grezegorz Kwiecien, 36, is to appear in court accused of propositioning a woman by WINKING at her in pub. The lesson for men? Don’t be a winker.

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 February 2019:

In 2013 I wrote a piece predicting that there would one day be a feminist campaign for men to wear blinkers (‘blinders’ in the US) as used on some horses during racing. It seems I was prescient.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. The piece starts:

A man is set to stand trial after he was accused of propositioning a woman by winking at her in a pub.

Grezegorz Kwiecien is accused of repeatedly winking at the woman at Dexy’s Bar in Dundee, despite her continuously rebuking his advances.

Had Grezegorz Kwiecien (fine Scottish name) been wearing blinkers, the woman might have suffered less emotional trauma. Years ago, such newspaper stories would only have been published on April Fools’ Day.

Cheshire Police found guilty of discrimination after rejecting white heterosexual man for job

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 February 2019:

Our thanks to Ken for this. Extracts:

A police force has been found guilty of discrimination after it refused to give a potential recruit a job because he was a white heterosexual man.

Cheshire Police are believed to be the first organisation in the UK to be found guilty of using positive action to discriminate by deciding to shun 25-year-old Matthew Furlong in 2017.

The force rejected him while in the midst of a diversity drive after a report found in 2015 it was one of only four constabularies to have no black officers.

Mr Furlong, whose father is a serving detective inspector at Cheshire Police, claimed he was told after the interview stage “it was refreshing to meet someone as well prepared as yourself” and that he “could not have done any more”…

An employment tribunal ruled that while positive action can be used to boost diversity, it should only be applied to distinguish between candidates who were all equally well qualified for a role…

The tribunal in Liverpool heard four days of evidence before reaching its conclusion, published earlier this month, that Mr Furlong had been a victim of direct discrimination on the grounds of his sexual orientation, race and sex.

The force’s claim it had seen 127 candidates who were equally suitable for the role of police constable was a “fallacy”, the tribunal concluded. [J4MB emphasis]

In my 30+ years of working in the private sector, I never once faced a situation where two or more candidates were “equally suitable” for a role. The lie of “equal suitability” is a cynical construct in the heart of The Equality Act that enables ideologues to discriminate between candidates, and the victims of that discrimination tend disproportionately to be white heterosexual men, as in this case. “Positive action” is discrimination in all but name.

Oxford Men’s Rights Action survey asked men: Would you rather have sex with (a) a feminist, (b) a sex doll, or (c) a potato?

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 February 2019:

Our thanks to the good men at Oxford Men’s Rights Action for conducting a groundbreaking survey into men’s preferences for sex with (a) feminists, (b) sex dolls, (c) potatoes. More men opted for the feminist options, than we would have expected. Preferences below:

4% – Kate Smurthwaite – feminist “comedian”.

96% – A sex doll

The feminist below is Laurie Penny, who does something at The New Statesman.

Women working longer hours more likely to be depressed. Men working longer hours not more likely to be depressed.

It’s “No shit, Sherlock!” time again. Our thanks to Ken for this piece in The Guardian. The start:

Women who work more than 55 hours a week are more likely to suffer from depression than those who work the more standard 35-40 hours, a British study has found.

In contrast, men who put in the same hours are no more likely to exhibit signs of the condition, researchers say. They suggest this could be because women face a “double burden” of very long hours spent in their job on top of domestic chores, which they tend to do much more of than male partners.

White and male UK judiciary ‘from another planet’, says racist, sexist, Lady Hale

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 January 2019:

As a member of the Supreme Court, Lady Hale was the least qualified to be appointed President, but she was appointed anyway, because vagina. Our thanks to Geoff for a piece published by The Guardian. If for no other reason, click on the link to see a photograph of the woman proudly exhibiting one of her pet caterpillars, on her jacket. An extract:

Women working in law and other professions are increasingly aware and resentful of earning less than men, said Hale, who is the court’s first female president since its creation 10 years ago. She also described the compulsory retirement age of 70 for judges as a “waste of talent”. [J4MB: Hale will be 74 at the end of this month.]

Having been appointed President because of positive discrimination, she says the following:

Lady Hale does not approve of positive discrimination, chiefly because “no one wants to feel they have got the job in any way other than on their own merits”.

It’s always about feelings, isn’t it? The damnable woman shouldn’t have been appointed to the supreme court in the first place. As a feminist, she was always going to focus on corrupting the court by advancing women regardless of merit.

Why more female penguins than male penguins are washing up dead in South America. Reflections on gender differences in spatial awareness.

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 January 2019:

piece published today on the BBC website. The full text:

Every year, thousands of penguins become stranded on South America’s coast – with females three times more likely to wash up dead or injured than males.

Now scientists from Japan and Argentina have concluded this is because female Magellanic penguins are migrating further north in search of food than their male counterparts. [J4MB: Where, self-evidently, food is LESS plentiful. Doh!]

The findings are published in the journal Current Biology.

Hmm, this might well be a manifestation of the female spatial awareness problem, which affects virtually all animal species. It explains why, for example:

  • in migrating birds, the birds at the front (who alternate from time to time, to share the wind resistance burden) are invariably male, because only they know where on earth to go (literally); and
  • women need much wider and longer spaces than men in which to park their cars. Recent research at the University of Leighton Buzzard (as yet unpublished) concluded that the average woman needs a space at least 25 metres wide and 25 metres long in which to park, without becoming highly stressed. The length requirement doubles to 50 metres for reverse parking.
