Where is the progressive Left's outrage over foreign sex offenders? - "I was on a radio news panel the other night and a heated exchange erupted between an ex-Tory minister who has since joined Reform, and a progressive broadcaster, over the impact on girls and women in Britain of the arrival of migrants from often violently patriarchal societies. He spoke in very plain terms about the crime rates of foreign men, using statistics from the Ministry of Justice, pointing out that 15 per cent of sex offences, almost all of them against women, were committed by people who were, and may continue to be, foreign nationals, who (still only) count for 9 per cent of the population. He noted that a whopping 40 per cent of sex offences in London were committed by foreign nationals. In doing so, the Reform member lit a rocket in the room. The broadcaster and even the less progressive co-host visibly flinched before letting rip on him. He was using inflammatory language and such language “has consequences”. This was very ominous. He was, it was seemingly implied, getting awfully close to being racist. He sounded, they agreed, altogether like a Very Bad Man!... You hardly ever hear of problems with the Vietnamese arrivals, yet over a thousand crossed to Britain in the first quarter of 2024 alone, many seeking economic opportunity... Meanwhile, NHS Business Services has handed out nearly a million “free passes” to asylum seekers in the last five years. This is 59 per cent of all such passes – well over half – entitling low-income residents to eye tests, free prescriptions, dental care, discounts on spectacles, lenses, and travel to and from appointments. Even wigs are funded by the body. I would dearly wish not to have to worry further about migration, but it is relevant that the three top nationalities arriving on the small boats come from states with cultures and belief systems which might be very different to our own... when it comes to promoting harm to women and girls – at least in the last few decades – have been the new, hard Left. This devious Left always seems to favour those who mean women harm. It accuses those who question or God forbid protest the arrival of hundreds of thousands of young men of racism and bigotry but refuses to properly condemn any of the sexual crimes committed by them. To do so, they seem to feel, might start them on the slippery slope to racism, xenophobia, and horror of horrors, Brexitism. You never seem to hear a thing from the Left about the sex crimes visited on the Israeli women who were tortured, killed or kidnapped by Hamas. You only hear about how evil Israel – where women actually have full rights – is... When Salman Abedi set off a bomb at the Manchester Arena, killing 22 and injuring over a thousand, his history – and that of his family – was barely acknowledged by the progressive Left. This outrage was similarly difficult to discern when Abdul Ezedi, who came from Afghanistan in 2016, threw acid at a mother and two children in Clapham, and then killed himself. What was much louder was fury at the “Islamophobia” said to follow such attacks. On the trans rights issues that have arisen in recent years, the progressive position hasn’t just been on the side of the trans cause, it has been, in places, virulently against women. People who swear by their enlightened worldview hurled, and still hurl misogynistic abuse at JK Rowling. They demand that people who are biologically male compete against women in sports competitions. This is all a shame as the Left has a proud pedigree, in and beyond feminism, of championing women. But in its contemporary guise it seems more interested in empowering those who mean women and girls harm. This is hypocritical, unjust and, increasingly, scary."

If she saw a roach or grasshopper or cricket in the house, you would think a Sabre-toothed tiger jumped out of the closet. What happens next? I or my father or my brother would race into the room & (kill &/or) dispose of the insect. We took it seriously & responded immediately because we wanted mom to be comfortable; to FEEL “safe”. . .but we never adopted the idea that her life was legitimately in danger from a cricket. In fact, we joke about it all the time with her; even right after “rescuing” her. Let’s be clear: Civilization will never exist in this system without violence where all humans are sincerely ”safe” 100% of the time (for all the goofies waiting to comment, “🥴WeLL, mEn AiN’t mAkiNg sUrE wOmEn aCtUaLLy “ARE” sAfE eiThEr🥴”). The overwhelming majority of men do not harm women. The overwhelming majority of men do not allow other men to harm women in their presence. The overwhelming majority of men do things all throughout their lives that contribute to the safety & security of women. . . . . .but men (YOU!) are under no obligation to ensure every woman on the planet FEELS safe & perfectly comfortable in every experience in every environment in every endeavor. I chose whether or not to kill the bug for my mom, but I was NEVER under any pressure to adopt the delusion that she was ever actually “unsafe”. The absurdity & arrogance of modern women criticizing every unintentional ‘behavioral inflection’ they reinstitute as a misogynistic microagression: From the way you look at them to the way you look past them to the way you avoid them to the way you approach them to the way you approach avoiding them to the way you DM them to the way you don’t respond t o their DMs to the way you get their attention b/c they dropped something to the way you get their attention b/c someone else is trying to get their attention to the way you get their attention b/c their about to step in a hole or in front of a car or under a ladder, etc etc etc. It is not your duty to ensure you make the 4Billion humans on planet earth who were born with vaginas have a great day everyday. You do have an inherent duty to ensure you aren’t making them have a “bad” day. . .but those 2 things are wildly different. Think that’s weird? or toxic? or misogynistic? Tell me ONE thing women collectively do, in public, to ensure they don’t offend random men or make any man uncomfortable? Just one thing. . . Just one. . . "

Douglas Todd: Why no shelters for male victims of partner violence? - "“I have no desire to be involved in a discussion about what the statistics show (about the portion of males who are victims of spousal violence), but it does exist. And, if it exists, then surely government has a responsibility to fund shelters for men and their children who are fleeing domestic violence.” Despite North American government data consistently showing men are victims in at least one out of four cases of intimate-partner violence, there are no publicly financed shelters for men and their children in B.C. Or anywhere in Canada. Yet B.C.’s NDP government announced in December it was going to build 280 more housing units in 12 different communities for women who are victims of domestic violence. The government dubbed it the first stage of Building B.C.: Women’s Transition Fund, a $734-million investment over 10 years to build 1,500 more transition housing, second-stage housing and long-term housing spaces for women and children leaving violence... “The province does not fund shelters for men with their children or transition houses for men because there has not been a demonstrated need for this particular service,” said Melanie Kilpatrick. “Although there are occasional cases of a man fleeing domestic violence, statistics and data support that women are far more likely to be abused and in need of resources.” Despite the government’s claim there is no “demonstrated need” for shelters, about 26 per cent of the British Columbians who have been killed as a result of domestic violence have been men, according to a B.C. coroner’s report. The report said that in the decade ending in 2014, 113 B.C. women were killed in acts of intimate-partner violence and 40 men. In addition, Statistics Canada police data shows that, nationwide, 67 per cent of the targets of family violence are women and 33 per cent are men. The federal government spends roughly $300 million a year on transition shelters for female victims of domestic abuse, but not a dollar for such shelters for male victims and their children. Many scholars maintain the Statistics Canada numbers are low in regards to men, because they are based exclusively on official reports to police. And men, because of stigma, are more reluctant than women to inform police they’ve been subjected to abuse. Kilpatrick, the B.C. Ministry of Housing spokesperson, maintained males who are victims of partner abuse can go to male-only shelters. However, Kilpatrick conceded such fathers will not be allowed into men’s-only shelters if they bring their children with them. That is not the case for mothers seeking a temporary safe place in a transition shelter. The Nanaimo Men’s Centre, which has been trying for years to persuade the B.C. Liberal and NDP governments to fund shelters for abused fathers and their children, says all the male-only shelters in B.C. are designed for the homeless, mentally ill and addicted. They are often harsh places. “They’re not shelters for people who are fleeing domestic violence and who have children,” said Krog, who, on behalf of the Nanaimo Men’s Centre, tried to convince both the former B.C. Liberals and his NDP colleagues of the need for shelters for abused males... one Vancouver Island client fleeing domestic violence who went to a men’s-only shelter for the homeless and addicted said “it was an insane asylum” with, for instance, people screaming in the middle of the night. “For a man fleeing domestic violence, this can exacerbate their sense of depression, hopelessness and frustration,” Boere said. Arguing for “proportionality” in shelter funding, Boere recently urged the minister of public safety, Mike Farnworth, and other B.C. politicians to spend $5 million to set up a transition house for males and four centres for men across the province. It’s not happening. The only real effort comes from the Canadian Centre for Men and Families, which is trying to raise private donations for the first shelter for abused men and children, in Toronto. Psychologists who research intimate-partner violence have found that males are victims far more than indicated by Statistics Canada’s data, which rely on police reports that are more restrictive than independent studies of families. North Carolina State University Prof. Sara Desmarais, who has a PhD in forensic psychology from Simon Fraser University, led a team that conducted a “meta-analysis” of 249 domestic-violence studies. They found that domestic violence initiated by women is, overall, more prevalent than that started by men... Many men also correctly fear, as shown in a study by Clark University psychology professor Denise Hines, they will not believed by police and will be treated as the aggressors."
From 2019. Of course, if it were a minority the left loved, they would devote even more attention and resources to it. For example, black women get lots of it even though they account for a much smaller share of victims than men

Harman's bilge has no place in modern Britain - "Britain currently has a female Chancellor, a female Home Secretary, a female Education Secretary and, as of Friday, a female Foreign Secretary. In the last decade we’ve had two female Prime Ministers. Neither covered themselves in glory, but that’s rather the point. Women have now succeeded and failed at the very top of politics. This is true equality: the right for men and women to be equally hopeless. For the great and good Baroness Harman, however, this is insufficient. Following Angela Rayner’s resignation – after a breach of the ministerial code – the Labour peer insists the Party’s next deputy leader must “definitely” be a woman... There is no shortage of female contenders. Most voters (or journalists) would struggle to place Rosena Allin-Khan. I’m told she’s a doctor, which may make you wonder whether her expensive training would be put to better use in a GP’s surgery than Westminster’s madhouse. Emily Thornberry is better known, though mostly for her notorious “Image from #Rochester” tweet sneering at white van man. Readers may also recall her defending comprehensive education while sending her children to selective schools on the grounds she was “doing the best” for them. Of course. Pink-haired Louise Haigh, meanwhile, backed Jeremy Corbyn in 2015. She once described P&O Ferries as a “rogue operator”, a comment which made Starmer choke on his Weetabix and quickly disavow. She tabled legislation to nationalise Britain’s railways, a process which is proceeding almost as slowly as a train on the West Coast line. And, oh yes, there was the small matter of pleading guilty to a criminal offence in 2014, leading to her resignation last November as our Transport Secretary. Harman, a lifelong “equality” advocate, has form on this stuff, though her vision is rather selective. She once published a paper on great women in politics that conspicuously omitted Margaret Thatcher – you may remember her, the woman who won three general elections and led the country for over a decade. Those with even longer memories will recall Harman’s links to the Paedophile Information Exchange, with whose affiliation to the National Council for Civil Liberties she acquiesced when she was legal officer there. This was an early example of her rule of “no enemies to the Left” even when alarm bells would ring loudly for most of us. Harman’s enduring legacy is the Equality Act 2010, a sweeping piece of legislation that set out to protect individuals from unfair treatment but has instead fuelled the rise of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) industry, where character and competence have been pushed aside in favour of optics and quotas. The irony is that this approach is bad for women, particularly those who rise on merit. It encourages a kind of inverted sexism, where women are considered incapable of succeeding without a leg up. Those who do climb to the top will then, always, be viewed as tokenistic. Germaine Greer said in 1971 that women should not be forced into being either “menials or goddesses.” They can be brilliant, or incompetent. They are capable of spiteful misjudgment (Bridget Phillipson), spinelessness (Yvette Cooper) and economic illiteracy (Rachel Reeves). Then there’s the FTSE100, which has a long history of diversity hires for whom the job is not primarily about the bottom line but advancing a political ideology. Alison Rose oversaw the debanking of Nigel Farage, leaked inaccurate information to the BBC following that scandal, and was forced to resign. Paula Vennells presided over the Horizon scandal. Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva, once boasted that no senior “non-diverse” hire is made without her specific approval. And then, over at John Lewis, Dame Sharon White made herself wildly unpopular with the partners as she tried so very hard to trash the brand. Women now lead government departments, outpace men in education, fill boardrooms and courtrooms. Few would consider themselves victims of the “patriarchy”. Most of us want to live in a meritocracy, where the strongest candidate gets the job. But this isn’t enough for the grievance grifters."

Removed myself from the organ donor list yesterday : r/4bmovement - "Thanks to a commenter here for teaching me that men disproportionately benefit from organ donation. It’s the small things that we can do.
EDIT: Some people were curious, so I added some info here (even though I don’t need to justify shit to anyone).
A few reasons that I removed myself from the organ donor list:
1. Constant bullshit and negligence from medical systems have led to my general distrust of medical systems.
2. Discovering that men disproportionately benefit and women disproportionately donate organs. I’m done adding to unfair male advantage wherever possible.
3. My general desire to disengage with systems built by men and a non-interventionist approach to my own care (I also don’t want others’ organs - if I’m ready, I’m ready)
4. A family member works in transplants and I’ve heard constant stories of alcoholics and drug addicts (almost always men, ofc) getting organ transplants - only to continue to drink and use drugs after getting a new organ. I also have friends who work in medicine and mental health and I’ve seen and heard enough horror stories of medical mishaps.
5. If someone close to me needs an organ, that’s another story. But my body is NOT on the open market.
To the a$hole$ who message me and call me evil: Thank you. To the commenters who disagree: Do you. Your body, your choice."

Why aren't Ukrainian women under 40 being mobilized? : r/MensRights - " From December 1941, for the first time in British history, the UK government introduced compulsory service for women as part of the broader national mobilization during the Second World War. Initially, the requirement applied to unmarried women aged 20 to 30, but as the war progressed, the government expanded the age range to include women up to the age of 43, and also included married women without young children. By 1943, around 90% of single women and 80% of married women in the eligible age groups were engaged in either war work or national service. Modern militaries in countries like Israel, Norway, and increasingly Sweden implement gender-neutral conscription. However, Ukrainian women are completely untouched by forced mobilization, and they are free to leave the country (millions of them left). Why? This seems to be such a ridiculous policy that hurts both the war effort and the Ukrainian demographics. The current Ukrainian policy effectively treats military service and national sacrifice as male-only obligations, which is a clear form of egregious gender-based discrimination. Yet, there is complete silence in the media."
"I think you have to be in a centrist sweet spot to favor the drafting of women. Go too far left, and people think you shouldn't have a draft at all no matter how bad the external threat.

Marriage: Cause or Mere Indicator of Future Earnings Growth? - "The hypothesis that marriage increases men's earnings has contributed to legislative support for the Healthy Marriage Initiative (HMI). However, previous studies of this phenomenon have not controlled for many relevant characteristics that select men into marriage, nor have they focused on low-income, unmarried fathers—the population targeted by HMI. We use the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, which measures many previously unobserved confounders, to test for a relationship between marriage and earnings. We use a variety of analytic strategies to control for selection (including differencing and propensity scores) and find no evidence of an effect of transitions to marriage on the earnings of unmarried fathers that differs from zero, either for the full sample or subsamples defined by race–ethnic category and baseline cohabitation status."
This doesn't stop the feminist cope that married men earn more because women do the work
The burka is a symbol of repression, not freedom for women - "Mothin Ali, deputy leader of the Green Party, has accused Robert Jenrick of racism for wanting to ban the burka – a strange claim regarding a garment that is worn by people of many races. If the shadow justice secretary’s position applies equally to all who wear it, including white converts to Islam, then how can it be racist? Ali’s outrage followed news that MPs in Portugal had voted to restrict burkas and niqabs in most public places, echoing bans across Europe, in France, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. These countries haven’t acted out of racial animus, but in the name of social cohesion, security and women’s rights. Yet the deputy leader of the Greens insists Jenrick’s comments are “just the latest in an ever-lengthening list of rage-bait statements” from the Conservative front bench, “aimed at fostering racist divisions in our communities”. This, from a man who branded Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch, a Jewish chaplain from Leeds, a “low life,” “creep,” and “animal” for serving as a reservist in Israel’s Defence Forces for three months following the October 7 Hamas atrocities. The rabbi and his wife later received hundreds of death threats, forcing them and their two children into hiding on police advice. They subsequently left Britain for Israel. If Ali is truly worried about people “fostering division,” perhaps he should look closer to home... If the burka truly symbolised empowerment, women would have embraced it when given freedom to choose. The opposite is true. Look at Iran before the 1979 revolution: women wore miniskirts and red lipstick. When the ayatollahs came to power, they didn’t politely “invite” women to cover up – they made it compulsory. Or take Afghanistan. After the Taliban were ousted in 2001, women eagerly shed the heavy blue burkas that had smothered them for years. Their act of unveiling became a symbol of liberation. When the Taliban returned to power 20 years later, the burka returned too, enforced, once again, by men with guns. That’s the reality Ali refuses to acknowledge. The burka is not a feminist emblem; it’s a tool of control. The death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, beaten by Iran’s morality police for refusing to wear a hijab, should have put that beyond doubt. Around the world, women risk their lives to throw off these garments. Meanwhile, so-called “progressives” celebrate them as symbols of cultural identity... What liberals often overlook is how early the conditioning begins. A 2017 survey by the National Secular Society found that 42 per cent of Islamic schools for girls in England – 59 out of 142 – required the hijab as part of the uniform. That includes 27 primary schools, teaching girls as young as four. Another study found that nearly one in five primary schools listed the hijab as part of their uniform policy. In Birmingham, almost half of primaries did. In Tower Hamlets, it was more than a third. Think about that: thousands of British Muslim girls will grow up never feeling the wind in their hair. That isn’t cultural sensitivity, it’s depriving them of childhood experiences. At Islamia Primary in Brent, the first state-funded Muslim school in England, the rules are downright disturbing. Founded by Yusuf Islam, the singer once known as Cat Stevens, the school’s uniform code for girls stipulates that skirts must fall below the shin and headscarves must be of the amira or khimar type, fully covering the head, neck and shoulders. Even hairstyles are expected to “reflect Islamic ethos”. Pupils as young as seven are told to dress appropriately for “acts of worship,” and by Year Six, girls are explicitly taught about “modest dress sense”."
