A piece just published online by The Guardian. Extracts:

Harriet Harman has claimed that the arrival in parliament of a fresh generation of “Tory feminist” MPs alongside men with modern attitudes has the power to boost the women’s rights movement.

The Labour MP, who has been parliament’s leading feminist advocate for decades, said the changing nature of female Conservative politicians from the “doughty tweedy matrons” of the past to today’s feminists had been critical. She claimed a newfound cooperation across party lines amounted to a dramatic shift and she welcomed the arrival of men who no longer thought of a woman’s place as being in the home.

“They are the sons of the women’s movement,” she said of political colleagues who had spoken out in recent debates about making parliament more family friendly…

Asked to whom she was referring among the Tory feminists, Harman listed Maria Miller, who chairs the parliamentary women’s and equality committee, Nicky Morgan, who leads the Treasury committee, Sarah Wollaston at health, and Theresa May’s parliamentary private secretary, Seema Kennedy. She also praised former education secretary Justine Greening, as well as Anne Milton, Rachel McLean and Mims Davies, and said there were “loads more”. [J4MB: Are there any sitting Tory female MPs who’ve declared themselves publicly to be non-feminists, let alone anti-feminists? If so, please let us know (info@j4mb.org.uk).]

A tip of the hat to Quentin Letts for writing this. The start of the piece:

Sid James and Benny Hill might have been banged up longer than the Yorkshire Ripper, if Melanie Onn had her way. Mrs Onn (Lab, Great Grimsby) yesterday proposed criminalising misogyny (ie discrimination against women).

She and other MPs demanded ‘appropriate sentencing’ for culprits of ‘street harassment’ such as wolf-whistling and the sort of hello-darlin’ pavement ogling that can occur outside pubs on balmy evenings.

Welcome to liberal Britain. Blow up a British Cabinet with a terrorist bomb and you will walk free. But if you and your mates are outside the Pig & Whistle and compliment a lass on her summer frock, you could face clink. We’d better start building an awful lot of prisons.

Mrs Onn (majority 2,565) opened a debate on ‘misogyny as a hate crime’. Only nine MPs were present and only one was a man. Tut tut. Worse, he was Philip Davies (Con, Shipley), serial skewer of political correctness. He was there long enough to ask two awkward questions.

Did Mrs Onn think there should also be a law against misandry (ie discrimination against men)? She did not. ‘There is a power imbalance in society that disproportionately affects women negatively, so I think misogyny should be an exclusive strand of hate crime,’ she averred. Glowering.

Interesting. Extracts:

Lovedoll UK in Gateshead was offering “try before you buy” sex with dolls for £50 (US$69.40), before selling them for £2,000. The owner, Graham, was then investigated over whether or not he needs a license. [J4MB: So is there a market for ‘previously loved’ sex dolls, as there is for ‘previously loved’ cars? What sort of discounts can you expect? Is ‘number of times loved’ the equivalent of car mileage? How would you know a seller wasn’t lying about the former, as sellers sometimes lie about the latter? It’s a minefield…]

The sex service offers men the chance to have sex with “the girl you’ve always wanted” {J4MB: Cameron Diaz? Keira Knightley? How often do they visit Gateshead?] and apparently it’s working. Customers have said they found it impossible to get a slot on a Friday evening [J4MB: The time-honoured time slot for conjugal relations in Gateshead?] and even securing a lunch visit was tough.

I was a big fan of Graham Parker & The Rumour in the late 1970s, whilst a student at one of the three most prestigious universities in the UK (Oxford, Cambridge, Reading). Happy days. My thanks to Nick for this (audio, 6:08).
