Our thanks to William for this. An extract:

Some 46 per cent of young adults say they have suffered from anxiety in the past 12 months – significantly higher than the 35 per cent recorded by adults.

It comes after the Government’s behaviour tsar last February labelled students who demand to be protected from controversial views as snowflakes.

Tom Bennett said that the problem began at school when too many children were protected from the ‘harsher realities of the world’.

And last month the Mail on Sunday uncovered that growing numbers of ‘snowflake’ students are appealing for special exemptions after missing essay deadlines.

Our paper’s investigation found top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, were inundated with thousands of appeals last year – because students overslept. [J4MB emphasis]

Our thanks to Mike P for this. Excerpts:

It is fondly known as the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. But the Bank of England may have to lose its nickname under plans for the 323-year-old institution to go gender neutral.

The Prudential Regulation Authority, part of the bank which polices financial firms, said it wants to ‘remove gendered language to encourage equality and diversity’.

It will ditch the title ‘chairman’ and instead use the gender-neutral ‘chair’ and also plans to stop using ‘his’ and ‘her’ when referring to senior figures in its reports…

Nicky Morgan, a Conservative MP and relentlessly sexist blithering idiot, the former Cabinet minister who heads the Treasury select committee, has twice warned in recent months that the Bank needed to improve diversity at the top of its organisation.

I may have added a few words there, but I don’t think anyone with an IQ above that of an intoxicated fruit bat would find them inaccurate.

Our thanks to Ray for this. An excerpt:

The Tory government has demanded that 50 per cent of all 5,500 public appointments in Britain go to women, and 14 per cent to ethic minorities.

Constitution minister Chris Skidmore unveiled the targets, which the government wants to see met by 2022, as part of the Cabinet Office’s 10-point Diversity Action Plan on Thursday…

Of the five and a half thousand public appointees currently in post across large institutions and public bodies, 43 per cent are women and 10 per cent are from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Mr Skidmore said that while he welcomed the soaring numbers of female appointees since the first targets were put in place, [J4MB emphasis] “there’s more we need to do across all aspects of diversity.”

Launching the Diversity Action Plan, which he said “will make public appointments even more open and accessible to all”, [J4MB: The unsubstantiated implication being, of course, that the public appointments aren’t already FULLY ‘open and accessible to all’] the constitution minister said:

“We need diverse ideas and perspectives at the helm of our public bodies, so it is vital that public appointees truly reflect the society they serve.” [J4MB: The classic self-serving argument used to justify the appointment of ever more women to cushy well-paid jobs, regardless of their merit.]

Breitbart London has previously reported instances in which the Tory government has made this assertion about diversity, as part of its drive to reduce the number of white men across British institutions. [J4MB emphasis]

All this from a Conservative government. Mrs T must be spinning in her grave.

As a proud feminist, Sadiq Khan has pledged to tackle gender inequality in all its shapes and forms. [J4MB: Genital mutilation? Suicide? Homelessness? Domestic violence? Employment in dangerous and dirty environments? Cancer screening? Education?] The Mayor will use the centenary of the Representation of the People Act in 2018 to work with London’s many leading industries – from culture, education and business, to politics and public life – to support the continuing success of women [J4MB: And the corresponding continuing failure of men] and to push for greater gender equality for women [J4MB: But not for men] from all backgrounds across the city.

My brain hurts. Extracts:

A YouGov survey for the Young Women’s Trust released in the U.K. on Thursday found that 25 percent of hiring-representative respondents are more likely to say that men are more ambitious than women. Just 5 percent of employers said that women are more likely to be more ambitious than men. Sixty-seven percent of employers say there is no difference. The survey asked 800 employees within human resources [J4MB: A profession dominated by women for many years] how they make their decisions when hiring…

The survey also found that one in 10 recruiters were aware of a gender pay gap at their company, in which women are paid less than men for jobs at equal levels of seniority. [J4MB: Hmm, so nine out ten recruiters were NOT aware of such a gender pay gap?]

“Young women do not lack ambition [J4MB: The survey you commissioned suggests otherwise] but too often they are held back by employers who – knowingly or not – discriminate against them,” [J4MB: Ah, unconscious discrimination. The result of unconscious bias, no doubt.] Young Women’s Trust chief executive Dr. Carole Easton said in a statement to Newsweek. [J4MB: Right. Because it couldn’t be that more young women than young men are unambitious, could it? Or that while only one in seven British women is work-centred, four in seven British men are? Hmm, not far from the 1:5 ratio reported in the survey. That’s surely a coincidence? Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory (2000).]

I’ve been on the wagon for some time, but suddenly I need a beer. Maybe two.

Our thanks to Martin for a piece in the International Business Times four days ago, Women-only climbing clubs take participation to new heights. Written by a female journalist – what are the chances? – it’s firmly set within the ‘women are as strong as men!’ genre. Extracts:

She [J4MB: Wing-Sum Wong, didn’t Benny Hill do a sketch about someone with a similar name?] is hoping for a better understanding of equality [J4MB emphasis] between male and female climbers: the 34-year-old frequently finds herself as the only woman in the training area.

“Quite often I will come into the training area and train and I get told ‘Oh, you’re really strong’ and that’s great, it’s a compliment, but at the same time it’s almost like it’s not expected of me to be strong,” Wong says.

“It’s an unconscious bias that people have adopted through being part of a society [where there’s] the expectation that women aren’t strong and they’re very surprised when a woman is strong,” she adds. [J4MB: Hmm, might that ‘unconscious bias’ be linked to her comment that she frequently finds herself as the only woman in the training area… so CONSCIOUS bias would be perfectly reasonable?]…

“Some of the best female climbers can outclimb male climbers [J4MB: the worst male climbers] on the competition circuit,” says Wong. “We just have to take a different approach to climbing something because we’re different sizes, different heights, but we get there. We all get there.”

A string of female achievements in climbing has followed the sport being included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games for the first time. World bouldering champion Shauna Coxsey, [J4MB: you wouldn’t know from the article, but there are men’s and women’s events, including bouldering – here] who recently confirmed her bid to compete at the Tokyo games, received an MBE in the Queen’s 90th birthday honours in 2016. [J4MB: Jenni Murray and three-times winner of our Lying Feminist of the Month award, Caroline Criado-Perez, received OBEs, your point would be…?]

And in October, Austrian climber Angela Eiter became the first woman to complete one of the world’s hardest climbs, the La Planta de Shiva near Malaga, Spain. [J4MB: She’s a strong climber for a woman, we get it. But why the relentless pretence that women’s sporting prowess comes anywhere near men’s? The emotional neediness is off the scale.]

Our thanks to Stu for an embarrassing piece by Robert Webb in New Statesman, Male feminists are the turkeys who voted for… a long and fulfilling life. An extract should give you a flavour of the piece:

In fact, the point of International Men’s Day on 19 November is to highlight those areas where men disproportionately need help rather than disproportionately cause trouble. It will be pointed out to me that it is “no laughing matter” that three out of four suicides are male. It is also true that the overwhelming majority of murders are perpetrated by men and I can’t say my sides are splitting about that either. The two things are linked, [J4MB: How, precisely?] but the problem with IMD is that these serious issues attract the attention of some deeply unserious people. [J4MB: Cue smug self-satisfaction among the ‘serious’ feminists who read this trashy publication.]

Webb than takes two statements by Paul Elam which made perfect sense in the context of the pieces in which they appeared, and no sense out of that context, before attacking The Red Pill, which I doubt he’s even watched:

Which brings us to the second category. Who wrote this? “You see, I find you, as a feminist, to be a loathsome, vile piece of human garbage. I find you so pernicious and repugnant that the idea of fucking your shit up gives me an erection.” Yikes! And this: “Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.” Ooh.

These are the public musings of Paul Elam, generally considered to be the “father” of the modern men’s rights movement and founder of one of its more respectable websites. Paul shows up in The Red Pill, Cassie Jaye’s cack-handed and helplessly partial documentary about people like Paul which claims to be entirely objective despite being part-funded by its subjects.

At next year’s conference Paul Elam will be giving the keynote speech, “Female privilege: Why women should be ashamed of themselves”. Webb’s article is a reminder that plenty of men, too, should be ashamed of themselves.

The equivalent publication on the other side of the political divide is The Spectator. Feminism is rarely criticised, often lauded, and from time to time it features articles by the likes of Julie Burchill and Julie Bindel.

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 December 2017:

Words fail me. The start of the piece:

A wheelchair-bound pensioner who married a Tunisian toyboy 36 years her junior has spoken of her heartbreak after he left her after just a fortnight of married life in Britain.

Patricia Hancocks, 64, met Mondher Mezni, when he was 26 on an online dating website and believed at last she had met ‘the One’ – but now fears he ‘only married me for a visa’.

The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance and got engaged after just 19 days together, on Ms Hancocks’ second holiday to Tunisia to visit her toyboy.

They married in north Africa in November 2012 in a lavish ceremony, which included the ceremonial slaughter of a sheep, and she paid for it by living on toast and butter.

After a brief honeymoon they spent eight months apart while the twice-married retired cleaner secured him a visa.

Mr Mezni, now 29, moved to her home in Leicester where he stayed at home to cook, clean and care for his new wife before he suddenly fled a fortnight later.

Being human, I guess we could all be victims of scams like this. The next time a 20-something lingerie model starts chatting me up in my local JD Wetherspoon public house, The Pilgrim’s Progress in Bedford – outstanding real ale at £2.29 per pint, 10% discount on Mondays – I shall be on my guard.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

Julie Bindel, a feminist writer who has also been swimming at the pond for more than three decades, added: ‘It is totally unacceptable to allow men who identify as women, but who are otherwise male bodied and socialised as men, to be in a women-only space. I have seen mothers bring their young daughters who are self-conscious about their bodies but want to feel good about swimming and exposing their skin to the sun. The last thing they want is to look behind them and see a male-bodied person pretending to be a woman in order to gawp at them.’ [J4MB: We expect they wouldn’t want to be gawped at by lesbians such as Julie Bindel, either.]
