Synchronised Wimmin.

The Labour Party has clasped the clitorally vulnerable victim-hood of the Feministas to its bosom and bitterly resents any attempt to portray an ideologically opposed female as representing âFeminismâ at any level. Witness last nightâs riveting Newsnight battle between Louise Mensch and dear little Laura Penny, sometimes known as âPennyRedâ (for good reason).
Laura âthereâs no reason why I shouldnât sport a bloodstained rat over my left eye, Iâm not to be judged on my hairstyleâ was off to a flying start of denigration, by pointing out that Oswald Mosley supported the Suffragettes âtherefore it was possible to be both a Fascist and a Feministâ â not that she was accusing Louise of being a Fascist, no, no, perish the thought. She just wanted us to know the association of Feminists, Fascists and Tories that lay in her mind. There was, she opined, such a thing as âwrong Feminismâ, a lame opinion which rivals British Railâs âwrong kind of snowâ.
Louise âjust because I pose for GQ magazine I shouldnât be labelled Tory Tottieâ put up a spirited defence, more intelligent than I had previously given her credit for; neatly nipping Paxo round the ankles when he chastised her for straying from âthe pointâ and she belted back âI should know my place I supposeâ. Indeed Louise. PennyRed can stray from the point because she is the right sort of Feminist in Paxoâs eyes, not the Nadine Dorries variety who want to give women a choice in the counselling they receive regarding abortion, but the sort who only display strength of mind on behalf of those victimised women who truly believe that sex and pregnancy is something which just âhappensâ to them, inflicted on them by brutal uncaring men. Itâs OK to be strong and opinionated on behalf of the vulnerable, but woe betide you should be strong and opinionated for your own sake.
The synchronised Feminista wimmin havenât merely contented themselves with giving Newshite a chance to re-run old footage of â1960s Tory women in hatsâ; in the past few days they have mounted a full frontal attack on the Leveson Inquiry. Tuesday saw the massed forces of Four groups â Eaves, End Violence Against Women, Object and Equality Now â hijack the end result of the Guardianâs claim that News of the World journalists had hacked âdead Millyâs phoneâ, thus setting in progress a sequence of events which resulted in 500 first class journalists and editors losing their jobs.
Now that the Guardianâs speculation has been found to have no evidence to support it, the massed harridans of the Left have abandoned their Feng Shui and candle making classes to badger poor Leveson into agreeing that âsomething must be doneâ about the âhighly sexualised imagesâ of women which appear in newspapers. They apparently have no objections to highly sexualised images of David Beckham in his knickersâ¦..
First up was Marai âdedicated to the creation of an equal world. Committed to ending violence against women and girlsâ Larasi, who seems to have no problem with violence against men in her equal world. She wanted a regulatory body set up to ensure that women were portrayed in a different light by the media.
Then we got Anna van Heeswijk, from Object, a lobby group against the âobjectificationâ of women. She wants legislation banning pictures of naked or semi-naked women in newspapers, arguing the images would not be allowed in the workplace because of equality legislation, and should not be sold in an âunrestrainedâ manner at âchildrenâs eye-levelâ.
Leveson was dutifully polite, saying his powers were limited and such a change would require ârock-solid legislationâ, thus neatly avoiding a caustic comment such as âthis has naff all to do with this inquiryâ which would not have gone down well in the pages of the Guardian. The man deserves a medal.
All of these off-side assaults were enthusiastically cheered on during the day by a series of Tweets from the Boiler-Suit-In-Chief, Vera Baird.
She, of course, is smarting from the mighty smack down administered by Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge who allowed the appeal by Jon-Jacques Clinton. Clinton will now face a retrial that can include the evidence that his wifeâs âgoadingâ regarding her sexual infidelity can form a partial defence to a charge of murder. Vera was particularly proud of the legislation which stated that those accused of murder cannot use evidence that their victim was unfaithful to them as part of the reason why they snapped and killed them, she had no problem with the fact that women are allowed to use premenstrual tension as a mitigating factor in sentencing â testosterone is the âwrong sort of hormoneâ and not an acceptable defence in her book.
They are such hypocrites these women, proud of their campaigning strength on behalf of the rest of the sisterhood which must remain dependant on them, and through them, the State. They want to see true equality as much as Diane âracist Tweetsâ Abbott.
Good grief â I just noticed, Veraâs banging the âFemale Bloggers Cry Rapeâ tambourine.
Cause and effect Vera, cause and effect; if you, and dear little Laurie, want to bang on endlessly about men being such utter bastards that should be neutered at birth, you can expect them to respond, and yes, it is liable to be as sexist as your views were in the first place. Just as Diane Abbott is likely to engender racist comments to her racist Tweets, or those who claim superiority of one religion over another.
Itâs not Equality the synchronised âwimminâ are after, itâs Superiority.
Men should know their place. Test tube. Fridge. Now.

I work with lots of women and we do a âdifficultâ job involving the public.
A lot of the women I work with are a higher grade than I am as well, so its
not a question of â Iâm the bossâ do as I say, more I do as Iâm told. All the
women I work with are great and you can trust them to watch your back and help
you. There is banter boyz v girlz but we all have a laugh at it and work as a
team.
To be honest , most of the lady â Bossesâ can be much worse to other
women than they can be to a man
Its not all like the feministaâs

Wonderful piece, 9.9.
I look forward with glee to your critique of Bea Campbell and Polly
Twaddle.

Nothing is as poisonous as a left wing âfeministâ , I quote because they
are the antithesis of actual equality.
And for gods sake ladies just
because your feminists doesnât mean itâs acceptable to sport a mustache and
chin hairs.
January 27, 2012 at 11:53

Mustaches are in these days â am rather proud of mine. It is a luxuious
handbar and I wax the points, all the better to twirl them as I tie a
helpless, weeping man to the train tracksâ¦â¦â¦mwah hah hah hah!

Even though I believed I was ever-vigilant with the Immac, recent
photographs assert that I habitually â if unwittingly â sport what I
recognise as a âFlash Harryâ (see George Cole in St Trinianâs if you
arenât old enough to picture it) â¦
What with my failing eyesight and diminished wits, I had interpreted
this slight emphasis of my top lip as an indication that I hadnât quite
finished applying lip-liner-enhancement but now I see I was quite
mistaken.
Oh the shame.

Nice to see your back Iâ sure! Another stimulating piece!
Spellingsâs a

Why just David Beckham? Sure, he looks better in underpants than I do, but
I am sure that my wife could give me a list of another dozen who also do.
January 26, 2012 at 23:19
-
Indeed, Beckham may have commendable pecs and sizable âjunkâ, but his
silly whining little voice let him down when ever he speaks.
Iâd rather look at Damian Lewis, (but with his clothes on).
January 27, 2012 at 09:36

It *is* a silly voice isnât it? Looks like adonis, sounds like a
childrens carrtoon character.

Cant help seeing a photograph of twelve women posing and clutching
themselves strategically to conceal Those Areas That Society Rules We Should
Not See as a sign that we have a long way to go before any kind of reason
prevails.

âThe Labour Party has clasped the clitorally vulnerable victim-hood of the
Feministas to its bosomâ¦â
That is comic genius and most amusing if you imagine Red Ed actually doing
this with the aid of Hariet Harperson.
Anna, I would salute you if you were man. I physically laughed out loud at
that opening sentence.

2 short points:
1) Feminists are not interested in sexual equality. They are interested in
the advancement of the interests of women, as against those of men. They
frequently claim to be interested in sexual equality in principle, as this
allows them to criticise men for doing what they in fact do, i.e. seek to
advance the interests of their own sex at the expense of those of the other.
But in reality they only ever seek to advance the interests of women.
2) There is nothing intrinsically left-wing about being a feminist. To the
extent that being a feminist is about liberation, feminism is a particular
manifestation of liberalism. Socialism has nothing to do with feminism â the
fact that one frequently notices the two forms of agitation in a single person
merely results from the fact that right-wing feminists, being conservative,
tend not to make so much noise.

Feminists are not interested in sexual equality. They are interested
in the advancement of the interests of womenâ¦
I used to think that, but now I do not. Harriet Harman is a Socialist and
feminist, which is why she rigged it for her husband to get the candidacy
for an all woman list in Birmingham.
Diane Abbott is a socialist and feminist, which is why she sent her child
for private education.
They are in it not to advance the cause of women but to advance their own
self-interest.

I am a feminist and I am interested in ensuring women get a fair crack of
the whip. I am not interested in doing men down â that is a pretty poor way
to make myself feel better. Actually I think it is a pretty poor way for
anyone to make themselve feel better. I have a visceral dislike of bullying
and thatâs what most â-ismsâ come down to.
I say âfeministâ because thatâs the usually accepted tag for someone who
thinks women and men are deserving of equal consideration in law and in
society. Clearly my definition isnât the same as yours.
I agree with your second point though I think youâll find there have been
quite a few strident conservative feminists in the past!

However *you* define feminism is one thing, but most rational people
judge any movement on the actions not the claims. Misandry is a huge issue
that has repeatedly demonstrated feminist intentions. And in todayâs
world, whenever we see misandry in action â itâs practically a guarantee
that feminism is in there somewhere promoting it. Thatâs why society is
not accepting the lie that âfeminism = equalityâ because in reality
âfeminism = misandryâ.
January 27, 2012 at 15:03
-
âsomeone who thinks women and men are deserving of equal consideration
in law and in societyâ is not a feminist but an egalitarian.
As with any movement or belief system, it is worth researching feminism
and the feminist literature, meetings and doctrine before stating that you
support it.
(Try an Internet search on âWhy many women think they are
feministsâ)

My latest thought on LP is that being 25 â far from being Louise Mensch
patronising her â is probably the only viable excuse she has left.
January 26, 2012 at 17:17
-
probably setting myself up for the blunt gelding knife but where I have no
problem with competent strong women (Iâve had some great female bosses), the
feministas just make me laugh out loud â I simply cannot take them seriously.
As a student I saw too many of the laurie penny type â they are simply a
caricature to be mocked.
January 26, 2012 at 17:08

I think it would be a jolly good idea to complain to the Leveson Inquiry
that special interest groups get a disproportionate coverage in the press.

Newsnight is drivelling obsessive pinko nonsense for the chattering
classes.
Its okay for you living in France, we have to bloody well pay for it.

No we donât. There is life without TV.
January 27, 2012 at 10:15

There is, but I still get colleagues asking if I saw a particular
programme the previous night. Shades of the Lost Boys â âyou read the TV
guide, you donât need a TVâ (with apologies for doubtless misquoting).
January 26, 2012 at 14:57

Crikey Anna, how much coffee have you had today? Step away from the
expresso!
I donât watch newnight anymore â TVâs blunt my axe edge and I keep having
to re-sharpen it.
I do find politicians trying to lay claim to feminism
hugely amusing. Just a few things to throw out there:
Men had a great deal
to do with the movement for giving women voting and property rights â any
number of MPâs and John Stuart Mill I think?
And lets just have a look at
how politically homogenous feminism has been. Lets look at the Pankhursts
shall we? Middle class, professional protestors.
Mother P and Christabel
advocated use of violence, suspended their suffragette campaign during WW1,
influence on final results overstated IMHO
Sylvia fell out with mummy,
objected to violence and WW1 conscription, campaigned for women in east-end,
hooked up with an italian, socialist politics.
Third sister started off a
commie ended a lighter shade of fascist.
Now which political party would you say they exemplified? Any takers?
Thought not. There are some bat-shit crazy women out there claiming to
represent all women. They donât. They just have delusions of grandeur.
I would call myself a feminist â I am a women so to be fair I do have an
axe to grind â and I am not bloody well represented by either Louise Mensch or
Laura Penny. Whereâs that axeâ¦â¦â¦â¦.

Is Vera Baird still active then?
Obviously no shame in being publicly labelled an âexpenses fraudsterâ
â¦â¦â¦..having the highest swing AWAY from any MP in history in the 2010 GE,
losing Labourâs safest seat ever â Redcar.
In 1997 Mo Mowlam had 32,000 people vote for her â maj. 21,600
In 2001 Vera Baird had 23,000 people vote for her â maj. 13,500.
In 2005 Vera Baird had 20,000 vote for her â maj. 12,000
In 2010 Vera Love Baird 13,750 vote for her â losing 17,000 votes
Says all we need to know about Vera Baird, her views and her
performance.
Dog-shit.

I donât suppose Louise Mensch pointed out to la Penny that Mosley left the
Conservative party, allied himself with the left and was a Fabian, just like
her.
January 26, 2012 at 21:34
-
No of course not because Mosley was a LABOUR MP
January 26, 2012 at 23:00

Oh, John! Youâve gone and done it now!
Provided the Mosley/Fabian/Labour Party link!
Penny-dreadful and Vera ainât gonna like that!

Extremists easily move from 11pm to 1am on the political clock. What
they share is the love of uniforms and the idea of their own power over
others.
At that stage, whether they are socialist dictators or fascist ones
hardly matters. It just becomes a pissing contest between
mass-murderers.

Am I doing it wrong? I donât seem to fit in the fridge.

Vera Baird makes me feel very ill, for so many reasons, and on a very

Thatâs funny. She has the same effect on me, so itâs not gender

Agree entirely, I also think Tim Worstall hit the nail on the head:
âLike most gender differences in outcomes, there only ever seems to be
concern when women are under-represented in fields like politics, and never
any concern when men are under-represented for outcomes like bachelorâs
degrees, masterâs degrees, doctorâs degrees, graduate school enrollment,
biology degrees, veterinary degrees, optometry degrees, pharmacy degrees, etc.
The only exceptions are when the outcomes are negative like prison
populations, learning disabilities, occupational injuries and fatalities,
motorcycle injuries and fatalities, suicides and drug addiction and then there
is no concern about female under-representation.â

When I worked in a JobCentre I was amazed that no women were interested
in applying for the relatively well-paying jobs on offer from a recycling
firm. The job involved pulling wheelie-bins from the kerbside to the loading
arms at the rear of the dustcart and pushing the emptied bins back (or
pushing and pulling). The smell and dirt involved was no worse than
nappy-changing. It was a pity as women were under-represented in this
employment sector.
