Yesterday I was in Canary Wharf, one of the most iconic buildings in the UK, engaged in an interview with Alex Hudson, a reporter working for the Mirror. His article, and my reflections on it, are here.

When I entered the building, I was struck by a common characteristic of the four receptionists, and took a photograph of them – here.

All the receptionists were young, attractive, cheerful, and of the female persuasion. Three of them were blondes. Shocking. Deeply shocking, to be honest. It shouldn’t be allowed.

We invite three ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award winners – Caroline Criado-Perez, Special Snowflake (Laura Bates), and Roz Hardie – to launch a campaign for Canary Wharf receptionists to reflect the diversity of British citizens. They should demand more receptionists who are:

– male

– middle-aged, or older

– unattractive

– miserable

– not blonde

Three days ago I was a contributor to a show on BBC Radio Ulster, The Stephen Nolan Show. Also on the show was Kate Smurthwaite, a feminist ‘comedian’ who – like all such women – is as funny as a dislocated shoulder. The BBC is introducing gender quotas for panel programmes, so we’ll see more of women like her. Joy. Our YouTube clip of the exchange is here. It’s already received 50+ comments, 50+ upvotes, and no downvotes.

After the programme, Ms S posted this on her Facebook page:

Here’s me on BBC Ulster with Mike Buchanan from the anti-feminist party lot. To be honest more shocking is the way we’re introduced with references to “whiny feminists” and “has the pendulum swung too far?” No, Stephen, while women are still a tiny minority in the corridors of power and two a week are murdered by their male partner or ex-partner, the pendulum has not “swung too far”.

Hilarious. My sides are splitting. Of course Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory (2000) explains why a minority of senior politicians (and business people, Nobel Prize winners etc.) are women, but let’s focus on this gem:

…two (women) a week are murdered by their male partner or ex-partner…

Yes, it’s the long-discredited claim that led to both Caroline Criado-Perez and Special Snowflake being presented with ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ awards. Why do feminists keep handing us these gifts? If we had the spare time we could present them with ‘Lying Feminist of the Day’ awards.

In a moment I’ll send a link to this piece to Ms S’s Twitter account @Cruella1. Our challenge:

Kate, the latest government statistics of which J4MB is aware showed that 75 women  were killed by male partners or ex-partners during the year in question – nearer ‘one per week’ than ‘two per week’, unless in Femland there are 37.5 weeks in the year? The idea that the number says anything other than men tend to be stronger than women, and more likely to have access to firearms, is one of countless feminist myths.

The number has declined by around 25% in 10 years. These deaths were attributable to both murder and manslaughter, while you refer only to murder.

Even Vera Baird dissociated herself from the ‘two women a week’ claim in 2010, when she was a Labour MP, shortly before being booted out of office by her electors. We recently called for her resignation as PCC for Northumbria.

We publicly challenge you to provide evidence to back up your assertion ‘… two (women) a week are murdered by their male partner or ex-partner… ‘ by 5pm February 7, and if you fail to do so, we’ll present you with a well-deserved ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award. Have a nice day.

This article in the Cambridge News is simply priceless. Our thanks to Ian for pointing us to it. We look forward to the suggestion that women could compete equally with men at high jump events if only they were given the tiny concession that they could jump from a platform one metre higher than the one men jump from, and could compete equally with men at 100 metres events if given a mere 40 metre start because patriarchy.

And more women could become FTSE100 directors if the companies were threatened by the government with legislated gender quotas. No, hold on, the last initiative has been underway since the Davies Report (2011), resulting in a near doubling of female directors on FTSE100 boards – nearly all of them appointed as non-executive directors, needless to say, where no doubt they ‘pootle along’ and are rewarded handsomely for doing so.

I digress. Ms Hiller was elected a Labour MP in 2005, having been selected from an all-women shortlist, the source of so many talented female politicians – or possibly not. She’s an early contender for this month’s ‘Gormless Feminist of the Month’ award. In July Labour MPs made a clean sweep of our monthly awards:

Whiny Feminist – Harriet Harman
Lying Feminist – Gloria De Piero
Gormless Feminist – Yvette Cooper

Yvette Cooper – who’d have to call herself Mrs Balls in a just world – is already a strong contender for this month’s ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’. More in due course.

Another day, another discrimination – pregnancy discrimination. Our thanks to Jeff for this article. The ladies at the Fawcett Society continue to trot out their ridiculous narratives. The start of the article:

One in 10 women in low-paid work is demoted when she returns from maternity leave, according to research that reveals the scale of discrimination against new mothers and the difficulty of challenging it.

A survey of women in the UK earning £7.44 or less found that ten per cent of mothers who returned to work in the last five years came back to a more junior role. The research by the Fawcett Society exposes the extent of prejudice faced by women in already poorly-paid jobs.

The Fawcett ladies were worthy winners of our inaugural ‘Gormless Women of the Month’ awards. Their certificate is here.

A woman from the DBIS managed to upstage the Fawcett ladies with a statement of such mind-numbing stupidity we just had to reproduce it here:

A spokeswoman for the department of Business, Innovation and Skills said: “Pregnancy discrimination is unacceptable; there is no excuse for it. Mothers coming back to work after maternity leave have the legal right to return to the same or similar job. Women deserve the right to pursue their goals and not feel they have to choose between having a successful career or having a baby.

What man ever thought he could take the time off work that women typically take off after having babies, without it affecting their careers? Why must women, uniquely, be compensated for the consequences of their freely-made choices?

Our thanks to Ian for another of his contributions to our ever-expanding ‘You couldn’t make this s*** up’ file. If the map leads to feminists staying away from the Grand Union Canal in Berkhamsted, the local residents will surely be happier, local house prices will rise sharply…

Perhaps the whole canal and its footpaths could be designated the UK’s first feminist-free zone? A small step on the way to making the whole country feminist-free, perhaps. Now wouldn’t that make for a more contended, less dysfunctional country to live in? Here’s the map.

My warm thanks to all of you who’ve sent me links to some interesting materials during my short break sur le Continent, including a report on Radio 4 yesterday about someone thinking of forming a feminist party. Given that all the main parties (with the possible exception of UKIP on a good day) slavishly follow feminist agendas, we can’t wait to hear what a feminist party might demand above and beyond what the parties are already delivering, or planning to deliver, with respect to advantaging women and disadvantaging men. I digress. I’ll get to all the emails and linked materials in the next 2-3 days, but I simply had to send you a link to a piece published by the fine folk at AVfM about Laura Bates getting married. Dear God, does her fiancé not have other options? They’ve lived together for years, it seems; so many years, so much laughter. Given the choice – which, to be fair, Ms Bates is unlikely to offer me – I’d sooner be a Cistercian monk and embrace a life of celibacy than marry her. And gnaw off both feet without the benefit of anaesthetic, if that’s what it took to save me from such a grim fate.

Some months ago, in the course of one of her innumerable media interviews, Ms Bates drove me to drink – two stiff drams of Highland Park, to be precise – as she usually does, whenever I hear her speak. How can her fiancé have coped with the tsunami of whining to which he’s surely been exposed for years? And how will he cope with being exposed to it until his dying day? The piece in question was about whether the cosmetic surgery industry should be regulated, a subject on which Ms B held firm opinions, quelle surprise. Laura debated the matter with the president of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons (‘BAPS’, appropriately… and pleasingly).

The AVfM piece includes a link to Laughing Laura’s Guardian piece on the matter, which – based on word count alone, please don’t ask me to read the damned thing, unless you’re prepared to donate £1,000 to J4MB – serves as a reminder that, as with other prominent young feminists (Laurie Penny, Caroline Criado-Perez, Kat Banyard come inevitably to mind) a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder wouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Three of these four women have won our Lying Feminist of the Month awards, two of them – CC-P and Special Snowflake – twice.

A quick check on Wikipedia informs me that the estimated population of the world today is 7.175 billion, from which we can logically conclude – if we ignore the fact that women are more than half the population of the world, because men work themselves into early graves, and health systems treat men as second-class citizens  – and guesstimate that 25% of the males on the planet are of marriageable age and single, the number of lucky men in the world at this moment is precisely:

896,875,000

Laura Bates is making almost 897 million men happy. Now that’s not a sentence I ever expected to write.

Our thanks to Pete for this. The patriarchs are to blame, of course. Not only are they forcing their women to have this surgery, presumably through such cruel acts as threatening to cut up their Harrods credit cards, but they’re also stopping their women from doing what they’d much prefer to do, e.g. become engineers, lumberjacks, car mechanics, plumbers, long-distance lorry drivers, sewage workers etc. Bad patriarchs!
