Out of the mouths of babes...lies
After eons of struggle against cruelty and oppression
it appears that we are now down to just two communities still suffering under
the lash of oppression: women and men. Despite this good news much remains to be done.
Here’s a short outline of the injustices still faced by these two remaining
groups of downtrodden based on the claims of their most vocal advocates.
Women:
• Are paid about 20% less than men.
• Live in a rape culture.
• Suffer violence at the hands of men.
And…
• Are not equally represented on the country’s
banknotes.
• Are dressed in pink and bought Barbies.
• Are often judged on their appearance.
• Do more of the housework.
• Have doors opened for them and other
micro-aggressions.
• Are condescended to by men.
• Have to queue for the toilet.
• Are called “bossy” if they assert themselves.
Men:
• Receive much higher sentences in courts than women
for the same crime.
• Are also heavily discriminated in the family courts
after divorce.
• As boys suffer at the hands of a feminised education
system
• Commit suicide at three times the rate of women.
And…
• Research into male diseases a fraction of that into
women’s.
• Suffer false rape allegations.
• Are discriminated against in the workplace in the
name of “positive” discrimination .
• Die for their country and community at many times
the rate of women as soldiers, police, firemen, etc…
• Are constantly mocked in popular culture.
• Are lectured to constantly about toning down their
evil masculinity.
• Suffer much more physical violence than women (Yes, it’s
true. They are usually attacked by men, but how is that relevant in the case of
a peaceful man attacked in this way. Is a mugged black man not a victim because
most muggers are black?).
It would be invidious to say which sex suffers the
most but I’ll take a stab at it anyway. I will start with only the first three most
serious charges made against men.

Feminist deploys her primary weapon |
First and foremost is the claim repeated ad nauseam and most recently by the delightful
Emma Watson in her widely lauded UN speech that women earn 20% less than men “for
the same work”. This is just a flat out lie that will never be made true no
matter how often feminists and those deluded by them keep on repeating it. In
short, it’s against the law to pay women less for doing the same work and any
employer who tried it would get the bum’s rush through the courts before he
could say “Make me a coffee, darling”. Significantly almost the only cases that
come up these days concern the grey and subjective areas of bonus payments. The
reason that women earn less than men is largely down to fact that they don’t “do
the same work”. Women tend to choose occupations that are less well paid. Apart from career choice the
breaks they take in their careers for child bearing and rearing account for
most of the rest of the difference. In support of this assertion is the news from Britain and America that women in their 20s (before having
children) are now paid more than men.
Next. There is no rape culture. Men are every bit as appalled by rape as women and the whole of society demands that convicted rapists are dealt with severely. The use of this meme by
feminists which exploits society’s natural abhorrence of this barbaric act is
shameful. The
only real problem in dealing with rape is the usual context of the crime. It
happens away from witnesses and physical evidence given modern sexual tastes is
often ambiguous to say the least. So many cases inevitably boil down to a
matter of he said, she said. The sad fact then that a relatively low percentage of rapes are
punished is not yet another aspect of the "patriarchy" at work, but simply the
result of the natural desire of juries to only convict people when their guilt
is proved “beyond reasonable doubt”. Making a unique
exception to this laudable principle of justice in the case of rape by relaxing the rules of
evidence (as feminists demand) would only result in more innocent men being jailed and poison relationships between the sexes. In fact false
accusations of rape are already a real problem. According to the BBC around two women a month are prosecuted for the offence and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
All the serving policemen interviewed for David Copperfield’s Wasting More Police Time considered the
number of false claims significant with some even suggesting they were a
majority of claims. Here’s one except from a detective constable:
(They) meet a
bloke in a pub , go back to his flat to shag him, and then sober up and wonder
how to explain the love bites, ripped knickers and staying out all night to
their boyfriend or husband. We get a fair few reports like that. We also get
women alleging rape to get at the other side in custody battles, we get
prostitutes alleging rape because they haven’t been paid by their punter, we
get women alleging rape who haven’t have sex with anyone in six months.
And this from a sergeant:
I honestly
cannot understand why more of the false reporters don’t get charged.
This leniency is semi-officially justified as the
lesser evil. The greater one being that the rigorous charging and imprisonment
of these “vulnerable” women would
discourage others from approaching the police. But there is also the very real fear among senior police of the
reaction of liberal opinion formers to the imprisonment of these “victims”. Also
when convicted of “perverting the course of justice” the penalty doesn’t match
the seriousness of the crime which can result in a man being sent to prison for
8 years or more. This is, however, just another aspect of the much bigger
problem of sentence bias in favour of women offenders.
The most effective way of reducing the level of rape would simply be for women not to place themselves in a position of vulnerability by getting hopelessly drunk or going back to his place soon after hooking up. But this advice is clearly too offensively commonsensical for today’s feminists and whenever a brave judge makes this suggestion he’s excoriated to an inch of his life. Much better to send innocent men to prison. After all they are all latent rapists anyway.

The other serious feminist charge is that women continually
suffer violence at the hands of men. There is some justification for this as
the number of women seriously injured by their partner greatly exceeds the
number of men. But once again the picture is far from black and white. The
experience of Erin Pizzey is worth mentioning here. She founded the first
shelters for battered women in Britain. As such she should be an icon for
feminists, but she had one terrible flaw from the perspective of the
sisterhood: she likes to tell it as it is. Annoyed by the cartoon image of violence
between men and women being promoted by feminists she pointed out that most
domestic violence is reciprocal with the women in her shelters being the instigators
just as often as men. This has been well known for decades by experts in the field. For not toeing the
party line she was shunned, harassed and suffered credible threats to her life
and had to have her mail opened by bomb disposal experts. Pizzey was finally
forced into exile by the mental and physical strain that other women subjected
her too thus proving her point. In 2009 she said that she has “never been a feminist, because having
experienced my mother’s violence, I always knew that women can be as vicious
and irresponsible as men.”
Then there’s the embarrassing reality that the most
physically abusive relationships of all are those between lesbians. While this finding
is once again the result of research it can be anecdotally confirmed by anybody
who has had the misfortune to have know many lesbians. Also children suffer
just as much violence at the hands of their mothers as from their fathers.
There may be good reasons for this, the most obvious being that women spend
more time with their children. But it is nevertheless a sobering fact if you
have been deluded by feminists into believing that only men are violent.
So examining the serious issues that concern women
reveals a much more complex set of problems than the propagandists would have
us believe. But the key fact is that all
of these problems have already been addressed by society. Unequal pay,
violence against women, and its most heinous variety rape are abhorred by
society and punished appropriately.
But when you turn to those problems faced by men you
quickly notice one glaring difference. Men are
systematically discriminated against by society and society hasn’t
addressed the issues at all. Curiously enough most of us including us men are pretty
blasé about it.
Once again I’ll only look at the most important problems.
Let’s start with the justice system. Men are given much
stiffer sentences as an official policy of discrimination. The disparity varies
according to the offence but on average men are about three times as likely as women to be imprisoned for the same crime. There are, of course, good
historical reasons for this but they are all tied up with the pre-feminist patriarchal
view of women. Now we are equal shouldn’t we be treated equally before the law?
The question answers itself, but that’s counts for nothing because nobody in
authority seems to be asking it.
One aspect of the extreme inequality in the justice system is
the rank prejudice on display in the family courts. Men are openly and
officially discriminated against particularly over access to their children.
Then there’s the education system. Boys are disadvantaged by schools in which competition
and male role models have largely disappeared. That’s why there are a third more
women at university these days.
Finally there’s the issue of suicide. In 1981, 2,466
women committed suicide. By 2012 that had almost halved to 1,391. Good news. In
1981, 4,129 men took their lives. By 2012 this had increased to 4,590. No news.
In 2012 the Department of Health issued its Suicide
Prevention Strategy for England. The idea was to focus on nine target groups
including LGBT groups, young people, refugees, asylum seekers and various ethnic
minority groups. “Say, Nigel, do you think we missed anybody?” Er, yes. Nowhere in this 57 page document was
any reference made to the fact that men are now killing themselves at more than
three times the rate of women. Imagine what feminists would make of the strategy
document if women were doing away with themselves at three times the rate of
men. They’d have a real grievance for once. It would be very heaven for them
to be alive and hell for any government suit who wasn’t up to speed with strategies to put
the injustice right.
But sadly it’s men who are topping themselves so who
gives a shit.
If the government was interested in addressing the
problem of male suicide they might like to start with the curious cluster of
suicides of men that occur just after the family courts have deprived them of their
reason for living.
So, there are just two groups of oppressed remaining today:
women and men. One group receives privileged treatment but is universally
regarded as oppressed. The other suffers from real, general and offensively
blatant prejudice but it’s protests are largely derided and ignored.
This is the problem with any collectivist thinking: it removes individual responsibility and accountability, and instead replaces it with a ‘shared’ mentality most often used to facilitate a perpetuation of victimhood. No different from the race card, cries of socio-economic injustice, urban plight, etc.- they all require the group-think mindset in order to propagate their ideas. These concepts are no more or no less than the promotion of certain ideals which, when traced back to their roots, can almost always be found to be flawed either by their very precepts, or have been distorted to promote their cause as you so deftly point out in your article.
ReplyDeleteWhy no outcry over the injustices suffered by men? You have hit the nail on the head in your list of real inequalities which show a decidedly feminine advantage (and the same may be said about virtually every other race, religion, ethnic background ‘group’). The truth is irrelevant, what matters is that there is victimhood established (either real or perceived) and then nothing else matters except perpetual retribution. Individualism is a thing of the past, and everyone is instead part of a group.
Small extremist minorities such as feminists now call the shots in modern wealth Western democracies. It is the same in other areas also. Eg in energy policy we are closing down coal power stations at a time when coal is cheap and clean to burn (due to new technology) - another example of an extremist minority (green extremists) dictating policy to the rest. The fanaticism of the dedicated small minority easily wins against the views of the silent majority.
