Journalism has long been a prime career choice for manginas, and Robert Verkaik is a prime example. In today’s iNews his piece Critics warn that measures forcing firms to reveal gender pay gaps do not go far enough was published. Excerpts:
Maria Miller MP says: “Gender pay gap reporting is only one step forward… Most of the businesses in this country are SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises] and they will not be affected by this legislation at all. Our report recommended including companies that are a smaller size and that would be more in line with other countries in the EU.” [J4MB emphasis]…
Last year the UK’s biggest private-sector equal-pay claim came to court in a case that could eventually lead to around 15,000 predominantly female Asda workers recovering well over £100m in pay. Judges have already ruled that lower paid shop workers – mostly women – can compare themselves to higher paid workers in Asda distribution centres, who are mostly men, because their jobs are of roughly equivalent value to the company. [J4MB: This is nonsense on stilts. Most of the women wouldn’t last a day in a busy warehouse, and certainly wouldn’t be willing to do the heavy lifting often involved, driving costly capital equipment such as fork lift trucks, working unsocial hours, often in warehouses with chilled or frozen goods. No, what they they want is equal pay for sitting on their backsides passing goods over a scanner, something I’ve been doing for some time at my local stores, saving time in the process. They should be ashamed of themselves, but will instead be jubilant because vagina.]…
Miller adds: “There are long-standing reasons why there is a gender pay gap and that is because historically women have taken time out of the labour market and then not been able to find the high-quality [J4MB: In plain English, highly-paid jobs in comfortable surroundings] flexible work [J4MB: Flexible for the women, not the employers] that enables them to rejoin the labour market after they have had children or after they have finished their caring responsibilities. [J4MB: Possibly they can’t find these jobs BECAUSE THEY DON’T EXIST? With several children, what does ‘after they have finished their caring responsibilities’ mean? A possible 20+ year gap in employment? Why should that disincline an employer from paying her the same as a man who worked through those 20+years? Sorry, I forgot. Because mangina, as always.]
“And that is not a historical problem. That is a current problem today which my select committee report on the gender pay gap said will not be resolved in a generation, which is the Government’s objective. Unless those labour-market barriers [J4MB: WHAT barriers, you dingbat?] are addressed, particularly around more high-quality, flexible, part-time working, women have to downgrade their jobs below their abilities so they take jobs in other lower paid sectors.”
It’s time Maria Miller took on a job more suited to her intellect. Holding a sign pointing to a golf merchandise store in Oxford Street comes to mind. Maybe she could job-share with Robert Verkaik, the ‘journalist’ of this woeful article.

Our thanks to William for this. Excerpts:
However the defence for the forces said that in order to succeed as a dog handler it is vital to be physically fit as tracking criminals over long periods of time in debilitating conditions and then arresting the criminal was especially challenging…
Judge Street said: ‘Where a standard test had negative impacts on members of a protected group, here women, then it either needs to be changed or objectively justified.’ [J4MB: Didn’t the police forces in question “objectively justify” the test as it stands (as above)? And if not, why not? The influence of senior female police officers, perhaps? So what will happen in a real-life situation where the dogs need to be carried by their handlers for some distance? Will only the male handlers go ahead, while the women – on the same pay as the men, obviously – stay behind and do nothing? If only a female handler – or handlers – are available, will the criminals escape arrest by the simple expedient of crossing ground where the Special Snowflakes would decline to go?]
The judge agreed women were at particular disadvantage compared with men and awarded Miss Carter a total of £14,930 for indirect sex discrimination.

Freelance journalist Miss Phillips said afterwards: ‘She was so lovely. I said it was really lovely to have a feminist in the Royal Family and she said Harry is a feminist too.’

Women and cycling are, in combination, a rich source of comedy. Who could forget the piece we posted in 2014, Meg Hillier MP: More women would cycle if they could ‘pootle along’ in a ‘slow lane’? Ms Hillier was elected an MP in 2005, having been selected from a Labour all-wimmin shortlist. In 2016 we posted Concealed motor found on female cyclist’s bicycle at cyclo-cross world championships.
Our thanks to James for this important piece on the BBC website. Let me summarise the comments from women: “Wah! Wah!! Wah!!!” Surprisingly, Laura Bates, inaugural member of The Whine Club, makes no appearance in the whine festival.
For sheer entertainment, at the end of the piece is some good advice published in New York World (1895):

Our thanks to Cheryl for this. The start of the piece:
Iconic feminist Germain Greer has stunned fans by saying it’s too late for women who “spread their legs” for Harvey Weinstein movie roles to start “whingeing.”
The 78-year-old spoke out about her distaste for the #MeToo movement, railing at actresses who say Harvey Weinstein assaulted them.
“If you spread your legs because he said ‘be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie’ then I’m afraid that’s tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about that,” Greer explained, before being honoured as Australian of the Year.

I worked for the Conservative party as a business consultant at their London campaign HQ (2006-8), during which time I became a party member and minor donor. In the autumn of 2009 David Cameron announced his intention to introduce all-women shortlists for some seats (winnable ones, inevitably) for the coming general election. Along with many others members, I cancelled my party membership on the day of his announcement. The plan was quietly shelved.
Caroline Spelman MP was the party’s chairman during part of the time I worked for them. Four years ago we posted a piece titled Caroline Spelman MP drives me to despair, Laura Bates drives me to drink. In a BBC radio interview she was calling for all-women shortlists despite admitting that during her tenure as party chairman, ten times more men than women had applied to become prospective parliamentary candidates (PPCs). This partly explains why MPs selected from all-women shortlists are invariably blithering idiots (Jess Phillips comes inevitably to mind). Needless to say, the Tories wish to jump on the anti-meritocratic bandwagon, because vagina.
There’s an appalling piece by Lauren McEvatt in the current edition of The Spectator, Should the Tories consider all-women shortlists? The issue of gender-typical differences in ambition to become a PPC merits not one sentence from the silly woman. An extract:
Is it possible that women are not standing because they are worried about the rough-and-tumble of Westminster politics? I like to think we’re made of stronger stuff than that, so I sincerely hope that’s not the reason. [J4MB: Your ‘hope’ is driving your analysis?] Equally, is there a sense that it’s hard to strike a balance between having a family and work life? I know many of my female contemporaries share my view that having children before standing for election would be our preferable outcome, but this is not always possible. [J4MB: Why not? If only there were means couples could use to prevent pregnancy…]
In order to overcome this, [J4MB: To overcome WHAT?] the Tories may have to [J4MB: WHY may they have to?] consider adopting a selection system that I have always felt to be patronising to women, namely the all-women shortlist [J4MB: It privileges women, it doesn’t patronise them]. It could then be imposed [J4MB emphasis] on an adequate percentage of winnable seat selections. [J4MB emphasis: So, the same system that’s been adopted by the Labour party, the Lib Dems, and the SNP. That makes sense.] While this would certainly guarantee us an increase in female representation within the Conservative parliamentary party, would this guarantee us high-calibre candidates? [J4MB: No, it would by definition guarantee you low-calibre candidates, because they wouldn’t have to be better than the best men available.]

Our thanks to Martin for this hilarious piece in the International Business Times. An extract (emphases ours):
A job advert that called for the “ability to deal with the male banter” has been panned online for its everyday sexism.
The position, which was listed on Guardian Jobs but has now been taken down for its “inappropriate” language, was for an EA & Investor Relations Associate at an unnamed property investment firm in London with a salary of £40,000 to £45,000, plus bonus. The job also appears on LinkedIn, where the listing says it is no longer accepting applications.
The advert describes an office of about 45 people, including various friends and family members, where “everyone gets on well” and there is a “relaxed and buzzy environment although everyone works very hard”. Duties include diary management, travel, scheduling meetings, client interaction, ad hoc private support and other typical executive assistant tasks. [J4MB: Translation – secretarial duties, one and all.]
Later, in the skills and personality section, the advert calls for an ability to deal with male banter in the office alongside a “good personality” [J4MB: A creative attempt to stop feminists applying for the job, but they’ll ignore it] and someone who is “sociable but not distracting”. It also wants someone who is “great in dealing with HNWIs” – high net worth individuals.
Ads for all office jobs should demand:

Appalling. An extract:
Elsewhere during the session, Malala was reminded that she had once said that feminism was a tricky word. What changed?
“I looked more into it and I realized that feminism is just another word for equality, and no one should object to equality … When you speak about women’s rights, you become a feminist, whether you embrace it or not.”
