Some Don't Do Irony Do They?

Ruby Hamad is another Australian feminist, in something like the Germaine Greer model (although as Ms Greer is apparently 'gender advantaged within immutable white power structures', Ms Hamad may not like that direct comparison) .....

Germaine Greer The Original Aussie Feminist
Has Had Her Own Go At White Female Culture ...

..... But with the extra chip on her shoulder in that she identifies as an Arab/Australian.

What Wimmin Really Want

I have questioned before what feminists want in the UK ..... it seems to me that unlike their foreign counterparts such as the Femen group, their campaigns are largely over small puerile 'issues' that are of no interest to 90% of the women in the UK, and that they dodge the big issues that really affect women. For instance there have been feminist 'campaigns' against:

• Page 3 models. They have been after these for 40 yrs .... the Sun and Star newspapers have resisted, mainly out of spite LOL.

Page 3 Forever?

• The worlds oldest professional service (were lawyers the second oldest? .. You know ... Moses and the Laws?): As part of this futile campaign, Jaqui Smith, who may have been the worst 'Home Secretary' in British political history, sponsored a bill in Parliament to make it a criminal offence to 'knowingly' have sex with a woman who was trafficked into the UK to become a prostitute. Specifically they were open wording it, to include anyone, having sex with any woman who was "controlled for another person's gain" .... rather obviously users of prostitutes were never going to ask the prostitute ... in the end, the act never got anywhere in the dying days of the Brown regime.

The Worlds Oldest and Most Honest Profession?

• And finally, against British banknotes not having a woman's face on any denomination when Florence Nightingale was rotated off. Yes apparently, this was the latest big issue for Wimmin in the UK  Or at least that's what  a feminist called Caroline Criado-Perez believes. It was she who according to the BBC, who apparently 'led' the campaign to ensure that a woman's face was still on one of the banknotes of the UK ... not counting the Queen apparently. She was roundly abused and threatened by a section of 'social media users' for this, and convictions have occurred already (The Raoul Moat and Dale Cregan Chav brigade out in force again) .... this was considered a major news story on the BBC. 

Jane Austen Banknote - Worth All The Fuss?

Although I had noted the argument about women faces of banknotes, I had considered it just another dead campaign by the PC wimmin of the left, and had never heard of this woman. However, if she is going to be trumpeted as the new Germaine Greer by the BBC and the wimmin of the left, then perhaps she will have the balls to take on the real issues of women in the UK.

And to show that I am not just some 'sexist' man, using the diversionary tactic of  trying to ask, why are feminist fighting over tits on newspapers, or faces on banknotes, when 'children are starving in Africa'? Both of these feminist campaigns are issues that I would guess that 99% of the women in UK couldn't give a toss about. I asked at work about the banknotes campaign, and out of approximately 15 educated women casually questioned, only two had heard of this 'banknote campaign', and none knew the name of its leader, or cared about the issue. 

Here's few issues that directly impact women in the UK and feminists should be fighting:

• Clitoral circumcision in the Thames Valley area.
• Forced Marriages and physical abuse in the Asian Communities.
• Under-age Grooming. 
• 'Honour' Killings where women are usually the victims.
• Acid Attacks, a crime which has crossed from the Asian community into the general one. But women are invariably the victims.

When UK feminists stand up to the men and groups that practise these activities, and actively campaign against them without fear of offending them on PC grounds .... then and only then, will I care about the little nonsense campaigns that they inflate into great victories for womankind against their male 'oppressors'.   

To Hell In A Hand Basket

The world this week is sadly still as depressing and lacking in 'something righteous and hopeful for a change' (as Kelly's Heroes character Oddball would have said) ....

Oddball The Positive Thinker ......

 ... as it was last week, and will be next week.

• The Labour Party is full of leaks and in fighting, with revelations that Ed Balls disliked Tony Blair and wanted his mate Gordon Brown in power (hardly a surprise, or revelation), and that the Miliband Brothers aren't talking after Ed stabbed David in the back over the party leadership (again hardly a surprise) .... its just a surprise that anyone is surprised.  

• Yet another group of Pakistani  men have been arrested and charge with paedophile grooming of white girls in a northern English town (these offences should be classed as a 'race crime' but isn't, unless its Whites on Asians), this is a problem that has developed as a direct result of mass unregulated immigration, but previous reports of the issue, were often swept under the carpet or under reported by Labour politicians and Labour councils in these northern English towns, because it was not 'PC' to discuss it while Labour were in power.  

• Germaine Greer has called the British Army 'potential rapists' and linked them to the bunch of animals in Gaddafi's army, which has been gang raping women, allegedly as an act of revenge on rebel towns, which she also thinks is a 'demented' claim .... she has never lived in the Muslim world (frankly she would likely have been killed or raped years ago if she had), so she has the luxury of saying it isn't happening. All this while blithely ignoring the evidence of the Libyan woman lawyer who was gang raped by Gaddafi's men in Tripoli, and who in her distress went to the foreign press hotel to complain (before being bundled away by secret police), and who was also described as "a drunk, a prostitute and a thief" by regime spokesmen.  Or the example of the mass sexual assault and beating, of US female reporter Lara Logan in Egypt's Tahrir square. Or even those 'demented' charities that are rushing to offer abortions to rape victims before their own fathers, brothers, or husbands 'honour kill' them. I have commented before on the cowardice of the 'women's page warriors' who will attack men of their own culture, but won't challenge the assaults on womankind by an entire religion and culture ..... the cost of this could eventually prove to be very high for the 'sisters of the left'

• And finally, the Syrians are busy killing each other in yet another bloody uprising, and some of its citizens apparently want to know why 'Christian Armies' aren't attacking the regime and defending them (answer: Russia & China)..... not once have they asked where the 'Arab or Muslim armies' are to protect them from their genocidal regime? This is the same country and people who still regularly calls the US and UK (for that's who they mean by Christian Armies) 'Infidels', 'Crusaders' and 'Kafirs', and is still at war with Israel .... indeed some of them tried to cross the border in to Israel after being bribed to do so by the regime.  Many were killed or injured in the incident, some by Israeli soldiers, but many more by Syrian landmines, which litter their side of the border and through which they were marching .... just another day in the Middle East.    

... in other words, the world is still going to hell in a basket!

Womens Rights - Lest We Forget Them

Women in the West fought a long campaign for the freedoms they have now in sexuality, dress, working opportunities and lifestyles. Homosexuals have followed a very similar path.

Women Of The World Unite .... Before You Lose It All

Starting with the right to vote and moving into the feminist movements of the 1960's and 70's, and the current gender economic rights campaigns now, the lot of women in the West, and by extension women world wide improved.
