Janice Fiamengo: Fakery, Posing, and Madness - Feminism Comes of Age in the 1960s

Professor of English, Janice Fiamengo, began as a committed feminist. But gradually began to question the ideology, and has ended up completely disavowing it.

Her studies of feminism's history make fascinating reading. Here, she looks at the 1960s - with privileged women like Betty Friedan. Gloria Steinem and Kate Millet coming forward to shape the Second Wave, while men in the glass cellar jobs, making their privileged world of illusion and hate possible, died in great numbers - completely ignored.

Jess Phillips - 'UK' Parliament (In This Case England & Wales) - Misandrist On The Rampage

Image
Mad Dogs and Englishmen? In this case it's Mad Dogs and an Englishwoman! Jess Phillips spews a load of emotional vitriol and misandry and gets away with it every time. Women's own group bias and male chivalry see to that. The so-called 'UK' Parliament (asymmetric national devolution) has become a nightmare. Jess likes to make out she has a UK remit (calling an absurd 'national emergency'), but her powers only extend to England and Wales. Apologies to the sensitive if this blog post seems a little ranty. Jess Phillips is highly emotional and proudly 'gobby' when it comes to her own agenda, so I've echoed her style a little - but with far more objectivity!  By the way, I'm an old socialist, not 'Right Wing'. The modern day is so lazy in classifying people who don't blindly follow the herd and go 'baaa' in time with each other. English MP Jess Phillips is mad. She was weaned (workwise) on misandrist dogma, and is now a ranting, h...

EastEnders - Albert Square Investigates Misogyny & the 'Manosphere'? Try Misandry & Feminism, Me Old Chinas!

Image
Albert Square - AKA the 'Misandry Mile' - like most UK soap operas. EastEnders , the BBC's 'flagship' soap has just done a 'deep dive' into the 'manosphere'. Oh, great. Men's rights, misandry, Warren Farrell, Karen Straughan, William Collins and Janice Fiamengo? Nope. It was a misandrist hatchet job, designed to show that women and girls are perfect, 'oppressed' lovelies, and all men's problems are their own fault. The Nazi-esque, gender narcissism of women and the devout chivalry of men. Fortunately, not many people watch EastEnders or the documentary, which was a bizarre concoction of misandry and a parody of serious reporting. Misogyny? Criticising a female politician and any male act that disagrees with feminism. Misandry? Ignoring the fact that men do the vast majority of glass cellar jobs which uphold our infrastructure, are 95% of workplace deaths, suffer domestic violence with hardly any shelters for them - or their children, ...

Netflix, 'Adolescence' & Intense Man & Boy Hate in the UK - Sponsored by Women, Men & 'Our' Politicians...

Adolescence , the recent Netflix drama shown in the UK about a boy stabbing a girl, has sent feminists, chivalrous men and the chattering classes in general, including the media, politicians and some academics, into a frenzy of misandry. Of course, our girls (angels without wings) deserve every protection from boys (monsters incarnate) based on a piece of fiction based on a slightly different, isolated incident. Many people, men and women, question the narrative, but the likes of Jess Phillips, who laughed at the notion that men's issues, like the suicide rate, should be raised in parliament, and Keir Starmer, the UK's Prime Minister (although a lot of his domestic legislation does not encompass the entire UK) are beating the drums to protect our angels without wings and to demonise schoolboys. Suffer the little children... Society is clearly extremely unwell. But why? My own theory is that the impulse to protect women sprang from necessity, as did the female aversity to any n...
