I will give you this case study to ponder. A pilot, writing under the name ‘Goofus’, expresses concern about the drive for a higher proportion of pilots to be women. EasyJet is trying to reach a quota of twenty percent.
“As a long haul airline Captain, I read this bib article on EasyJet pay and my heart sank. The idea that more women being hired as pilots and presumably more men being hired as cabin crew is somehow the answer to this illusory problem in the modern world is complete madness. Whilst I have flown with some very competent female pilots in my time (and I take my hat off to them for choosing to work in a very male environment) I have also flown with quite a large proportion of them that have been well below par.
Call me bigoted or misogynist or whatever else you like but that is my sincere personal experience. Being generally fond of women I have found myself quietly willing them to do well on an approach to land. Another bounced and hard landing later nothing is said and we move on to park the aircraft. They tend to be very pleasant to work with and are more cooperative than some of my male colleagues have been but that doesn’t really compensate for ability. As long as the autopilot is engaged they have been great colleagues to work with. However, when the autopilot is not engaged and some spatial work is required to fly the aircraft, things have not always gone so well in my experience. That’s not to say that there haven’t been male colleagues who have been as poor at handling an aircraft but it does seem in my humble opinion to be a common denominator in the female group. Given how low their overall representation in the flying community is and that they are already currently being ‘given a pass’ in the simulator where a male colleague would be given a serious bollocking or failed, I can’t understand why anyone with an ounce of sanity would set hiring targets of twenty percent. Surely the current regime of hiring those with the best ability is the best course of action for a safety critical industry. Flying is a competitive game and many of the young pilots that graduate don’t get jobs because they are actually not good enough to fly commercially. Skewing the hiring requirements to being twenty percent female will mean all female pilots will be hired and they will still be short. It will have the inevitable consequence of reducing the safety on board a commercial flight. I hold my head in my hands at this thought.”
Wendy Pursey, head of membership and career services at The British Airline Pilots’ Association, Balpa, said:
“It’s great to see airlines trying to redress the balance. Balpa believes the only thing that should matter in securing a job as a pilot should be your ability, not your background, financial situation or gender.” [BBC] [1]
I travel a lot on planes. I don’t mind who is flying, but I like to think that they are the most competent available and were not employed to alter some statistics to satisfy a pressure group. The key sentence for me was:
“It will have the inevitable consequence of reducing the safety on board a commercial flight.” [BBC] [1]
I told this story to Andrew, a twenty-nine-year-old English chemical engineer who was sitting in the next seat on a plane. His comment was:
“I love girls, but one thing I have noticed with them is that they panic. When you walk down the street with them on Halloween, if someone scary jumps out in front of you making a loud noise, the girls scream and jump away, whereas the boys muscle up ready for action. If I was in a plane and an engine blew, I’d rather have a male pilot. No offence to women, but we are built differently.”
My comment is that pilots are primarily male because males apply to be pilots. When females apply to be psychologists, there is no evil plot against males. For every male active psychologist, there were 2.1 female active psychologists in the workforce. [2013] [4] The table is not tipped in favour of males to redress the balance. We are quite happy that women are the majority of psychologists to the extent that it is irrelevant. Neither is there a requirement that there should be a specific number of black psychologists. Nor is there a requirement for a specific number of Muslim psychologists. It is considered irrelevant. In politics, females quite happily vote for male politicians. One lady said that John Howard, the then Australian prime minister was: “her hero.” That shook me because it made me think that his policies were irrelevant. Women actually get to choose whether they wish to work as a pilot. They actually have complete freedom of choice to choose not to be a pilot. Males have freedom of choice and do not apply in great numbers to be psychologists. Girls certainly use their current right not to choose to work in the army. Neither do they choose to choose wet cold working conditions.
The majority of the homeless are men. Men are the majority of victims of homicides and suicides. Males perform worse in elementary and high school and are now the minority of university students. Men must register for draft. Men invariably make more than ninety percent of workplace deaths. On average, men die five years earlier than women. Men are expected to tough it out. There is an expectation that they should not request help. Men are expected to put themselves at risk and sacrifice themselves when necessary.
The bell curve for intellect is wider for males than for females. Thus, there tends to be more male geniuses but also more male idiots.
The mathematicians say that males have a greater intellectual variance. They tend to occupy the extremes of genius and idiocy as well as the extremes of success and failure. Thus, there is a far bigger gap between the highest and least intelligent male. This explains why males tend to be the majority of inventors and award winners whilst also being the majority of the homeless. Men tend to occupy both the high and low status positions in our society. This, combined with their willingness to accept risk, their greater aggression, and difference in their intelligence curves makes for an interesting comparison between males and females. There are more male idiots, but women do not wish to beg for that category but they wish to be represented at the other extreme. This wide bell curve explains why society tends to have men at the top, but also the bottom. When talking about successful males, people tend to base their opinion on what they see at the top, without looking at the bottom of the pile. The mathematics of the situation is that there will always be more male high performers than women high performers. A quota on high position, will push women beyond their capacity for performance. This series of comments from Girls ask Guys is illuminating:
Asker: “I agree but we really need to enforce 50/50 gender representation in all careers to close the gender pay gap.”
AllThatSweetJazz: “When permitted to do what they want people become *more* inclined into stereotyped careers.”
Asker: “Women shouldn’t be able to opt out of jobs like sewage worker.”
AllThatSweetJazz: “They should be able to opt out, but that also means they don’t get to complain that men out-earn them.”
This one forgets logic:
Astoriana: “I find your circular arguments tiresome. ”
Asker: “But how can we fix the gender pay gap if women take lower paid jobs and work less hours?”
madhatters4: “If you work less hours you are going to get less money.”
TGFH-Satan: “Lol, enforced gender equality, isn’t equal at all. If it was it’d be a choice to choose not an order. A lot of feminists want more women in white collar jobs, because they’re women, even if they can’t do the job or can’t do it as well as the man they’re replacing does. Forced equality is not equal.”
Nachowedgie: “There is no gender pay gap.”
Males commit seventy-eight percent of all suicides. [2] Boys commit eighty-six percent of all adolescent suicides. [6] As a society, we need to ensure that young males are supported through their ‘rite of passage’ years to enable the safest possible outcome.
The industries with the highest death rates are mining, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction, which all employ more men than women. [Michael Zbrzezniak]
Some of the worst incidences of violence against girls are done by women, which includes their mothers. It is not necessarily inflicted by males.
As I have mentioned, we descend from a line of violent animals. It takes more than a few laws to restrain the habits of males. I know that I cannot go against the rules that my mother impressed on me at a young age. If a girl bent over and said to me whilst pointing at her backside: “Hit me here. Andy.”, my hand would not move. The best I could manage would be a gentle tap. Such is the power of my mother’s training. This is an essential component of ’The Secret’ where mothers have control of the crèche to train young boys to defer to women. Under ’The Secret’, women carefully held control of the crèche, the kitchen, and the bedroom so that males could be guided. Their killer weapon was the smile.
However, men are overrepresented as both victims [35] [36] and perpetrators of violence. [37] [38]. Men who are victims of domestic violence tend to be reluctant to report it which is influenced by a culture of expectations on males.
During episodes of structural violence that include war and genocide, men and boys are frequently selectively killed.[39]
Psychology Today reports
“... the numbers of males attending college is at an all time low (about thirty-seven percent nationally) in proportion to their female peers. ... The reasons are not clear, but they include a sense of not being welcome.” [3]
and this
“... the rate of young male suicides is so much greater than that of females during the college years.” [3]
Why are so many young males ending their lives? Joan Ryan, a mother, comments:
“It occurred to me that if eighty-six percent of adolescent suicides were girls, there would be a national commission to find out why. There’d be front-page stories and Oprah shows and non-profit foundations throwing money at sociologists and psychologists to study female self-destruction. My feminist sisters and I would be asking, rightly, ‘What’s wrong with a culture that drives girls, much more than boys, to take their own lives?’ ” [4]
“So why aren’t we asking what’s wrong with a culture that drives boys, much more than girls, to take their own lives? Even in academia, where you can find studies on the most obscure topics, there is little research explaining why boys are disproportionately killing themselves. The Center for Adolescence at Stanford, a nationally recognized clearinghouse on teen behavior, has no one on its long roster of experts who can speak on the topic. Neither does the American Association of Suicidology, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention since 1968. ” [4]
Lanny Berman, Executive director of the American Association of Suicidology said:
“As much as I would love to lead the charge (in finding out why boys kill themselves), try to go out and get funding for it. ...If there is no research money available, no academician is going to go that route. As executive director, I have to pay attention to fundable projects.” [4]
Joan Ryan continues:
“So the association has an expert on female suicide but none on male suicide, even though suicide is an overwhelmingly male issue well beyond adolescence.” [4]
Between the years of 2000 and 2007, Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council spent $51,559,784 on female cancer research and just $15,099,474 on male cancer research. This occurred despite male’s generally higher cancer death rate. [5]
Male health is in a poor state physical, mentally and socially. Nearly five Australian male commit suicide each day. [5] As one academic commented: “If it were five whales a day ... we’d be out there pushing them back into the sea.” [5] It might appear that the life of a male human is valued less than a whale! Chronic conditions which include cancer, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease are more prevalent in males and their life expectancy is five years less than that of women. [5]
A female writes:
“one of the things they asked me to do was figure out how much money the province was dedicating to men’s resources as opposed to women’s resources (I’m in Canada, btw). I just finished, and the numbers are pretty interesting... In 2009/2010 it was $1,516,460 toward men and $57,562,373 toward women.” [7]
This is a ratio of thirty-eight to one! This appears to be a feminist’s brand of ‘equality’. It is gynocentric.
The opening paragraph of a report by Martin S. Fiebert, The Department of Psychology, California State University:
“This bibliography examines 286 scholarly investigations: 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners.” [8]
The Fiebert report has an extremely long list of studies where female violence against men was greater than male violence against females. I give you two more examples. In a 2008 report by G. Amendt:
“Results reveal that 1/3 of men reported episodes of physical violence during the divorce process and 2/3 of these were initiated by ex-partners.” [9]
The next example is from a British study:
“In a representative sample of British men and women, it was found ... that 18% of the men and 13% of the women reported being victims of physical violence at some point in their heterosexual relationships. With regard to current relationships, 11% of men and 5% of women reported being victims of partner aggression.” [10]
Our fake news outlets would have us believe that all violence is a male phenomenon. It is utterly false and appears to be part of the ‘War against Men’ which is not to the advantage of women. One day, the backlash will occur, if it is not occurring already. Unfortunately gang rapes are occurring. Let us stop this nonsense. Why is there gender-specific law such as the Violence Against Women Act?
Constant talk of abuse by males has enabled the feminists to weaponize domestic abuse to turn females into permanent victims and males into permanent villains. Every male is to be considered to be a potential rapist and treated as such. Each and every male is treated as being guilty of things that he has never done. Not only did he never rape anyone, he is not even afforded the presumption of innocence.
For some reason, the FBI definition of rape was gendered and was worded as “carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.” This has been reworded to ‘forced penetration’ with no reference to gender.
The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is an ongoing survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that measures victimization. The 2010 report found that over their lifetime, women were vastly more likely to experience abuse perpetrated by men, as were males who were penetrated without their consent. But among men reporting other forms of sexual victimization, 68.6 percent reported female perpetrators, while among men reporting being made to penetrate, the form of non-consensual sex that men are much more likely to experience in their lifetime ... 79.2 percent of victimized men reported female perpetrators. [11]
Men are raped by women at a similar rate to women being raped by men. Often, the rape of men by women is not listed under rape. The statistics appear to be twisted to create the impression that women are the only victims of rape and that males are always the perpetrators. The wording of articles effectively paints all males as potential rapists.
Jokes, such as “Don’t drop the soap!” are used to give the males the impression that, if they don’t follow the status quo, they will go to prison to be raped.
For similar crimes, let us compare the disparity in sentencing between men and women. A study shows men receive harsher sentences for crimes than females.
“I found that blacks, males, and offenders with low levels of education and income receive substantially longer sentences. Second, disparities are primarily generated by departures from the guidelines, rather than differential sentencing within the guidelines. Departures produce about 55 percent of the black-white difference and 70 percent of the male-female difference.” [14]
And.
“The average sentence for males is 278.4 percent greater than that of females (51.5 versus 18.5 months).” [14]
And.
“In sentencing, however, women receive better outcomes, consistent with women’s being treated paternalistically in court. Although some contend that the sentencing guidelines harm women, studies have usually concluded that females are sentenced more leniently than males.” [14]
And.
“Columns 2 and 4 show that females are less likely than males to have their sentences adjusted up. ... females receive downward departures 6.9 months larger than males.” [14]
Women are arrested and incarcerated primarily for property and drug offenses. [16] The number of women being locked up is increasing.
“Women represent the fastest growing segment of the criminal justice system (PEW. Center, 2008) increasing 757% between 1977 and 2004, a rate nearly two times the percent increase in the male offender population. [15] Women currently represent about 7% of the overall state and federal prison population. [15] Substance use and abuse have been consistently reported as major contributing factors in the increasing population of women offenders. [15]”
For some reason, Britain even has a gender-specific Minister for Female Offenders but no Minister for Male Offenders, which is a little strange considering that there are vastly more male offenders.
Only twenty percent of prisoners in the United States are serving time for drug offenses. In my opinion, drug issues are a social issue like alcohol addiction, and should be dealt with by rehab clinics. USA has five percent of the world’s population — but twenty-five percent of its prisoners. [17] And nonviolent offenders account for ninety percent of federal prisoners. [17]
Now let us turn to abused boys. Ninety percent of sexually abused youth in correctional facilities reported being abused by female staff. Gerry Bellett of the Vancouver Sun has a report titled ‘Three in four B.C. boys on street sexually exploited by women’ in which he reports [18]:
“Canada’s largest study into the sexual exploitation of street kids and runaways has shattered some myths about who the abusers might be - with the most surprising finding being that many are women seeking sex with young males.” [18]
Sexual exploitation is defined as any youth under nineteen trading sexual activities for money, drugs, gifts, food, services, shelter, transportation or anything similar. Elizabeth Saewyc, associate professor of nursing at the University of British Columbia, adds:
“Some youth in each gender were exploited by women with more than three out of four (seventy-nine percent) sexually exploited males reporting exchanging sex for money or goods with a female.” [18]
This can also include what is called: “survival sex”, where a person provides sex in exchange for a place to sleep, a meal, or for transportation. [18] The study found that young males were being preyed upon by sexual predators of both sexes, however, the social systems were designed to help females and that the justice system was little concerned with the fate of young males.
According to the US National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), nearly half of all females in the age range fifteen to forty-four have used drugs at least once in their life. [19] Of these females, almost two million have used cocaine and more than six million have used marijuana within the past year. [19] Most of these female drug abusers use more than one drug. An estimated nine million women used illegal drugs in 2008. [19] Despite the widespread use of drugs by women, it is males that get locked up.
Martin Douglas had his testicles bitten off by his girlfriend and the girl did not serve jail time! He required emergency surgery which included nineteen stitches to re-attach his scrotum after a drunken assault by his girlfriend, Maria Topp 45. [26] The girlfriend admitted maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm. [26] The mother-of-four was handed a twelve-month sentence which was suspended for eighteen months. Thus she spent no jail time. [26]
The ‘End Violence Against Women International’ proposals undermine due process, bias the investigative process, and make it close to impossible for a falsely accused male to defend himself from a criminal charge of sexual assault. This manual gives advice on how to undermine a suspect’s defences. The manual gives instructions on how to make sure that the incident does ‘not look like consensual sex and how to make the complainant appear to be innocent. The EVAWI manual mandates that investigative reports be written to undermine sexual assault defence strategies.
Blogger Michael Zbrzezniak reports that twenty-nine percent of male first-time offenders received custodial sentences. For women, the figure was seventeen percent. Men have a sixty-two percent chance of being bailed, while for women that figure is eighty percent and on average men serve fifty-three percent of their sentence but women serve five percent less than that.[Michael Zbrzezniak]
Michael Zbrzezniak reports that nine-tenths of the people that are sleeping rough are males.
There are laws to ensure genital integrity for the females, but no such thing for males. A report by the British Journal of Urology International says that researchers from the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resources Center claim that circumcision removes the five areas of the penis most responsive to light touch. Commonly cited is a report: “There were no significant differences in sexual drive, erection, ejaculation, and ejaculation latency time between circumcised and uncircumcised men. Masturbatory pleasure decreased after circumcision in 48% of the respondents, while 8% reported increased pleasure.” [DaiSik Kim Myung‐Geol Pang] and Male circumcision removes 33—50% of the penile skin, and nearly all of the penile fine‐touch neuroreceptors [DaiSik Kim Myung‐Geol Pang]. There are questions here. Why are they harming the child’s body to satisfy adults wishes.
According to Darcia F. Narvaez Ph.D., world-wide, 30% of men are circumcised, and most of these are Muslim [WHO 2007]. Most modern, Westernized countries have rates below twenty percent. In the United States around twenty-five-years-ago, around 85% of babies were circumcised. The rates have fallen to 32% in 2009. [ Centers for Disease Control - El Becheraoui 2010]. She furthermore informs that, in the United States, circumcision wasn’t popularized until Victorian times, when a few doctors started to recommend circumcision to prevent children from masturbating.
Now for the influence of male circumcision on females. Reportedly, uncircumcised males tend to make shorter strokes that keep their bodies in contact with the clitoris more, thus encouraging female orgasm. [O’Hara 1999]. Darcia F. Narvaez Ph.D. writes that: “On the other hand, the circumcised penis functions like a piston during intercourse - the head of the penis actually scrapes the lubrication out of the vagina with each stroke. As the man thrusts, his skin rubs against the vaginal entrance, causing discomfort, and sometimes pain [O’Hara 1999, Bensley 2001]. Far from making sex better for women, circumcision decreases female satisfaction.” A study of women in the USA reports that 85% who had experienced both circumcised and uncircumcised men preferred sex with uncircumcised men. Sex with a circumcised man was associated with pain, dryness, and difficulty reaching orgasm [O’Hara 1999]. In another study, women were twice as likely to reach orgasm with an intact man [Bensley 2003]. In her fascinating article in ’Psychology Today’ she continues:
“Men who are circumcised are 60% more likely to have difficulty identifying and expressing their feelings, which can cause marital difficulties (Bollinger 2010). Circumcised men are 4.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, use drugs like Viagra, and to suffer from premature ejaculation (Bollinger 2010, Tang 2011). Men who were circumcised as adults experienced decreased sensation and decreased quality of erection, and both they and their partners experienced generally less satisfaction with sex (Kim 2007, Solinis 2007).”
As I search for the psychological effects of circumcision, I came upon:
“The presence of men or boys with foreskins is a constant reminder to the circumcised that they have lost something, and this can generate an urge to deprive others of their foreskins too.”
There were levels of violence in past societies towards males that had not been circumcised.
“David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law.” [1 Sam 18:27, RSV]
There are many historical instances of circumcision raids. It appears that, historically, circumcision is linked with violence. But I cannot be sure of the details.
Christianity basically ended the practical requirement for circumcision. The Christianity of the New Testament is hostile to those who encourage circumcision, and opposes the procedure. This was a radical change as circumcision was so important in the Old Testament. Jews circumcised their boys on the eighth day of the boy’s of life. They regarded this painful procedure as essential. [41]. Jesus was hostile to both circumcisers and to circumcision itself.
Circumcision in childhood and adolescence has significant negative psychological consequences. Following a traumatic event, many children experience anxiety, depression, and anger; and many others try to avoid and suppress these painful feelings [Gil, 2006]. Some circumcised males have described their present feelings in terms of torture, violation, mutilation, and sexual assault. I really cannot understand why we allow this surgical procedure on unconsenting minors. One report about circumcision of young babies contains: “were in so much pain — some began choking and one even had a seizure” There is some clear opinion that there is significant psychological harm done to infants, children, and teens.
False rape charges present a significant threat to males and are brutally common. A rape accusation can destroy a mans life within days, because, unlike the accusers, the accused name is not protected from the media. One strange characteristic is that these false accusations appear to make genuine rape victims less likely to be believed. That hurts innocent women that find it difficult to be believed. Here are a few examples of false rape claims:

The worst part though, in countries like the U.S.A., false accusers are rarely charged even where there is overwhelming video evidence of their guilt, while men are charged and sometimes convicted on nothing more than the word of an accuser. This goes against the principle of ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ when only the accuser’s testimony is used whilst the accused’s testimony is disregarded.
In a Russian case that became a television spectacle:
“The panelists aggressively interrogated Diana about how much vodka she drank and what she expected when she went into the room alone with Semyonov.”
We need to advise girls that if they drink heavily, then go into a man’s bedroom, things may happen that they may latter regret. I don;t leave the keys in my car because it is tempting thieves. I have seen big signs warning me not to leave valuable goods in a parked vehicle. I am a trusting person, but I lock my door at night. I jam my wallet in my pocket sideways so that it is difficult to get out. I fail to see what is so different about some simple precautions such as the advice about not getting drunk then lying in a bed with a male that you have already declared to be ‘interesting’ and he finds her interesting’ by inviting her into his bedroom. Bedrooms have long been associated with sex between attracted couples. In fact, the sex act has an alternative expression that sums up the situation. ‘Sleeping with someone’ has the meaning ‘I had sex with the person’. ‘I slept with her’ actually has the meaning ‘I fucked her’. The problem for girls is that men are wary of dealing with girls and are having problems finding boyfriends. Here is a joking comment that some class as offensive:
And this discourages males from dealing with girls:
Do I need to spell out the illogic? How can you talk to someone if you cannot talk to them? Notice also that she sets rules for him but she does not obey them herself as she talks to him. The feminists are masters of illogic.
There are a few messages in this story meme:
According to the US Census Board: [20]
The ‘pay gap’ is possibly the most commonly quoted of the supposed disadvantages faced by females. It is entirely misleading, as it covers average annual full-time incomes but does not take into account the overtime which is around ninety percent male, nor the type of work, nor other voluntary features. Women choose to work seventy-eight percent of the time worked by men. [21] The gender pay gap is a complete myth. Unfortunately, the media portrays that the reason stems from discrimination by males. This is an inappropriate slight against men.
Much of the gender pay gap occurs because mothers take part-time work after the birth of a child, new research has found. [22] The same would happen to male working full-time, if they moved to part-time working. Basically, women work fewer hours so their annual earnings are less. The solution is as simple as persuading women that they must work the same hours as males or persuade males to cut back to part-time. By the time the first child reaches the age of twenty, mothers earn around thirty percent less on an hourly basis than males of a similar education. [22] About a quarter of the pay gap is explained by the volume of mothers who choose part-time work rather than full-time work which causes a lack of wage progression. A further tenth of the wage gap is caused by the volume of women taking time away from paid employment. [22] Again, the gender pay gap is a complete myth. The pay gap is calculated by obtaining the average annual pay for females and the average annual pay gap for males and comparing the two. So we have statistical nonsense because we are not comparing apples with apples. The males and females choose to work different hours. The lower of wage growth in part-time work has a large impact on female graduates, because they do not receive the wage progression received by full-time employees. [22] If a male and female have the same education and complete the same number of years and hours of work, their pay would be the same. One blogger wrote:
“I’ve yet to see group’s of women fighting to become coal miners or construction workers or any job with a high death toll and a large amount of physical labor.”
Marty Nemko, a career expert and author states:
“The data is clear that for the same work men and women are paid roughly the same. The media need to look beyond the claims of feminist organizations.”
and
“When you compare apples to apples, it simply isn’t true.”
The Department of Labor’s Time Use Survey determined that the average full-time working male spends 8.14 hours a day at work, whilst the full-time working female works 7.75 hours. Males working five percent longer than women explains about one-quarter of the wage gap.
women and men tend to choose different industries. Females tend to seek employment with regular hours, more comfortable conditions, less travel, and greater fulfillment. Often, women are prepared to trade higher pay for jobs with other more attractive characteristics. Men often take jobs with less desirable characteristics to obtain higher pay. They are prepared to work long hours with overnight shifts.
Steve Tobak from Moneywatch wrote an article called: ‘The Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth’. He gives these reasons when explaining: ‘Why the Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth [Steve Tobak from Moneywatch 2011-03-08]’:
There is another reason. Women tend to be more risk-averse. People who are risk-averse will be inclined to the public sector. Two-thirds of public sector employees are female whilst two-thirds of private sector employees are male. The public sector is grossly inefficient and ineffective whilst the private sector is efficient and effective. The private sector has to be efficient — or it fails. Are we to enforce equality in the private sector but not in the public sector?
Groan: “Sweden is a good example of your scenario, where the public sector is ‘female’ and its private sector ‘male’ to a much greater extent than the UK. So men produce Sweden’s considerable wealth and women ‘spend’ it directly or by being paid from taxes on men!” [www.conservativewoman.co.uk]
Another influence is that men tend to study subjects that will lead to higher-paying jobs. They are driven to this partly by potential partners’ hypergamy. Women are not driven my mating potential.
Males are prepared to travel further to obtain better pay. The average commute 36% farther to get to work. Women will tend to choose a lower-paying job closer to home.
In a report called ‘An Analysis of Reasons for the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women’ prepared for the U.S. Department of Labor in 2009-01:
“This study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers.”
Feminists claim that females should have the same number of jobs in a given employment area as men. They are confusing the concepts of equality with sameness. Women tend to be interested in different employment areas than males. This naturally causes some employment areas to have more females and others to have more males.
The feminists hold a false concept of biology where gender differences in mentality are cultural rather than biological. The latest propagandised students have been encouraged to believe that gender is a social construct, yet there is still a claim that there is a wage gap between the two genders. Either gender exists or it does not.
In 1949, Simone de Beauvoir, a French intellectual and feminist theorist, published an book in which she claimed that a person is not born a woman, but rather becomes one. Various feminists attribute differences between men and women entirely to socialization, rather than anything built into bodies and brains. Much as you might recognise this as fruit-cake science, it has created immense illogic. If women are not born different to men then society put them in a position different to males. Thus they are claiming it is socialisation that puts them at a disadvantage, not males systematically putting them at a disadvantage. Many feminists continue to argue that gender is socially constructed. The doctrine of this alleged biological sameness of males and females has become so sacrosanct that merely questioning the topic brings great denunciation. As a small example, Germund Hesslow, a professor of neurophysiology at Lund University in Sweden, is under an investigation by the university because he made remarks about the biological realities of gender. In his medical teaching, he has discussed topics such as biological gender differences. Complaints included: “How does this kind of lecture go with the gender perspective the education should have?” And complaints included the suggestion that he was increasing ‘transphobia’. A male shared a comment on Twitter that contained: “women don’t have penises”. He got hounded out of numerous positions within his university. [42] Angelos Sofocleous comments: “On campus, the subject of gender is now off limits for those who fail to fall into line with the new orthodoxy: that being a man or a woman is fluid. Anyone who says otherwise is liable to find themselves hounded into silence.” [42] He says that he “found out the hard way: for those who fail to adhere to the new orthodoxy on transgenderism, the punishment is swift.” [42] Feminists are hounding persons out of their jobs for speaking truths that they do not wish to hear. Feminism trumps truth. We have the application of illogic in our educational establishments. Differences between the sexes are well documented in thousands of scientific studies. The differences are treated as being uncontroversial. Reproduction requires the meeting of a male and a female gamete. To get to that stage is quite exciting. Throughout history, women cold mostly assume that they will appear in a prominent position in a family tree. Many males never got the opportunity to breed. Males tend to have a greater variability. The bell curve for male intelligence is wider meaning that their are more male high-performers as well as more males in jail.
Thus we are not starting with equality within a gender. Males are both better and worse. There are more male geniuses and more male idiots. When comparing performance between genders, the statistics are going to be problematic due to the innate difference in performance within each gender. There simply will be more high-performing males than high-performing females and more low-performing males than low-performing females. Quotas at the high-performing end of the scale are as inappropriate as quotas at the low-performing end of the scale. This may be part of the breeding selection process. Some argue that almost all females get to breed but only a percentage of males get to breed. I shall call it: ‘inequality’s inequality’.

I shall finish the statistics with a look at this scatter graph:
Should there be a quota on male internees? No more male jail internees than female internees! Equality of death rates! Are Indians appropriately burning wives of dead husbands. I think not. It does not bother a male that females live longer. Males never complained about the death rate of males in war and nothing was more abhorent than the death of a nurse. It is a fake argument for gender equality if one argues that the genders are the same, for if they are the same, then they are consequently equal by definition — unless we are relying on illogic rather than logic.
On female primary teacher said to me the other day that she preferred it when headmasters and deputy headmasters were male. When asked why she shrugged her shoulders and said: “Andy. You know what it’s like when you get a bunch of women together!” She intimated that she felt better treated under male authority than under female authority. Blog commenter ‘TheBippoloSeed’ writes: “Oh god, the more women who are hired where I work, the weirder the place gets. (I am a women by the way.) ... I’m going to be honest. I wish I worked for a man or a women who is more like a man, someone who sets clear boundaries in which I can perform and who keeps their emotions to themselves. Having your boss complain because someone doesn’t like her — wtf. ... More men in the work place!!! Please!! (Yes I’d take someone who glances at my boobs now and then over all the chatty nonsense.)” ‘Deleted’ comments:
“50/50 split would be functionally difficult for most companies since the gender differences in most fields seem to be self imposed, rather than a result of preferential hiring practices.
Further, it’s not true that being a gender minority is automatically a disadvantage. ... Being in the gender minority is actually advantageous.
This backfires when efforts are made to make a segregated field more inviting to a gender minority because it opens the door for candidates who are not well suited not a good cultural fit for the jobs to which they’re applying.” [Reddit]
And spotty says: “Why should that small business be forced to hire shitty workers because big brother said so?” Where quotas are enforced, persons with wonder whether they or others got their job due to qualifications and skill or due to quota requirements. All will be subject to doubt. “The airhead only got the job due to quotas.” A student of veterinary science said told me that she was offered a manager’s position because the company was making a commitment to ‘equality’ — clearly false equality. Such quotas create unpleasant work environments as all will question other’s genuine skill.
Any discrepancy in equality is blamed on males and and is caused by something called patriarchy. Men collectively paying more tax is not blamed on women as a group. Patriarchy has also been redefined by feminists. Formerly it meant that the male was the head of the family and no more. We even had queens and they were held in high regard. In reality, the male as the head of the family was only for show purposes. The male would confer with his wife before making a formal announcement. You can hear older wives, in a café muttering a quiet “tut tut”, and the man shuts up instantly. I even saw one old-time grandmother shake her husbands head by the ear and say in a displeased manner: “What did you say? What did you say?” He replied with an apologetic: “Nothing, dear!” and he sat in silence for the rest of the meal. The discussion of economics or environmental progress ceased at the insistence of the matriarch. In the past and even today a female would chose the male for his earning power and he had to beg to her and demonstrate his ability to provide for her. Patriarchy became redefined by the feminists as males holding power in society. Women were added to the voting pool for reasons of ‘rights’, not because of a demand for better government. Government has not improved and the wars have not ceased. A similar argument was used to bring the voting age down. In Australia, it was reasoned that if an eighteen-year-old was entitle to be shot at in war, then he was entitled to vote. When the eighteen-year-olds come to me and say: “We don’t know who to vote for?” I realize we did not get better government by giving the vote to eighteen-year-olds. I say that a better form of logic would be to stop sending eighteen-year-olds to be shot. The people do not choose the war, it is the people that control the politicians that choose war. Go to Vietnam. The people don’t hate us and we do not hate them. It was the ideologies of the governments that caused the clash. In a democracy, both political parties support the ‘debt banking system’ and every war advertised by Reuters. Political parties need funding and bow to ‘lobby groups’. Lobby groups are legalized bribery and corruption. News organizations have the news fabricated for them by ‘private think tanks’ such as the Council on Foreign Relations which is a private organization funded and membership comprises the ‘rich people’.
Patriarchy never was a political force, it just added balance to the family by generating the role of fatherhood. The father mostly supported the training of the young males. An essential component of that was that makes should serve, respect, protect, and defer to females. This is why males stand motionless as women hit them. This training is essential to give women the upper hand in society.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
“The earning power of young single women has surpassed that of their male peers in metropolitan areas around the U.S., a shift that is being driven by the growing ranks of women who attend college and move on to high-earning jobs.” [25]
In the UK, seventy-two percent of tax is paid by males. [J4MB] Thus, state support for single mothers comes mainly from men, who are paying pay around 72% of the income tax.
Psychology Professor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson talks about women in high-pressure jobs and the balance between career and having a family life and at the peak of his talk says that the women in high powered and highly stressful jobs think: “Why am I doing this? Why would anyone in their right mind do this.” He says that anything over $60000 per annum does not improve your lifestyle. They think “There is more to life than this.” So they go find a job that is nine to five. When we ask: “Why aren’t there more women in positions of power?”, we are asking the wrong question. Why are there any persons that want that position of power? The position of power contains incredible responsibility. If you make a mistake, the game is over. If you have any sense, and as you grow older, your family becomes more important to you. He says: “It’s a barren future without children.” Women joining the labour force halved the value of labour. It is now necessary to have two incomes for a family to exist. It takes two people to make as much as one did before. He says that: We have gone from a situation where men worked and women didn’t and their opportunities were limited to a situation where women worked but earned half as much as they would have done to a situation where women have to work. We will move to a situation where women work because men won’t work. It’s a complete catastrophe. It’s also a catastrophe for women.
Comments he makes include:
Males are still required to register with the Selective Service. However, the military service is currently voluntary. The government could open the draft again at any time, although, this has not been done since 1973. It appears that men were considered disposable enough to be subject to the draft, whilst women were considered worthy of protection. Such was the anti-male nature of patriarchy.
Phyllis Schlafly described the laws that made eighteen-year-old males eligible for the draft as ’classic’’ sex discrimination, but she was not keen for that ’discrimination’ to end. Many men would subscribe to that point of view. Males still tend to feel that the female of the species is the more precious of the two genders and is worthy of protection even with their current misbehaviour. One can imagine the situation where a mother is forcibly taken from her children to serve in war whilst father cooks and feeds the young. They might watch the news daily for news about dead mothers. It is still accepted that the mother is the more important of the two parents.
In 1982 the ratio of college graduates was 60/40 male/female. Female only scholarships arrived and media promoting women in college. Currently, it’s 60/40 female/male. the simplistic assumption is that this is great for women, but I am not so sure. I went to a British Grammar School. I had to pass exams at age eleven. It was constantly: “Are you good enough to be in the top class?” I won the school maths prize in my final year and went to Imperial College, London. I was told that I was in the top one and a half percent academically of the nation. But again, it was: “Are you good enough to pass exams?” My memory is of two students committing suicide, but I cannot verify that. Certainly, Queen’s Tower was kept locked to prevent suicides. One of the problems that I have puzzled with education is that they teach you to be logical. They teach you to be a ’thinker’, as my brother, Steve, describes the process.
“According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, at age 22, 185 women have graduated from college for every 100 men who have done so.” [23]
There are many women-only scholarships, I am not aware of any men-only scholarships. Many colleges now have significantly more women than men. When women were lagging in education there was a restructuring to lift their presence. Now that men are in the minority, there is still a move to increase the numbers further. This is not equality, it is gynocentrism.
Alex Williams, of the New York Times, writes that at the University of North Carolina, it feels like a girls college because there are sixty girls against forty males. This apparently causes a social problem as there are not enough males for dates. She reports that the girls are fighting over a small pool of available males. One girl stated that her current boyfriend had previously “hooked up with at least five of my friends in my sorority — that I know of.” Another said that the lopsided population tends to skew behavior. She continued: “A lot of my friends will meet someone and go home for the night and just hope for the best the next morning.” She said “They’ll text them and say: ‘I had a great time. Want to hang out next week? And they don’t respond.” It sounds more like stupid behavior to me. Apparently “Girls feel pressured to do more than they’re comfortable with, to lock it down.” Even more stupid behavior. As for a man’s cheating: “that’s something that girls let slide, because you have to.” These girls have let males get the upper hand. Feminism has given the power to the males and the females have lost the ultimate power against males. Now males decide when sex occurs and what happens. The ultimate failure of feminism. Men gaining the power over women. Man meets girl. Takes her to his place. Encourages her to do all the things he has learned from porn. Says goodbye. Repeats the process all through his college days. Respect for girls has evaporated. Some call it “postfeminist independence”. A euphemism for fulfilling male fantasies of fresh meat daily. Books on ‘hooking up’ in colleges describe the sexual pastime in this manner:
“As casually as the sexual encounter begins, so it often ends with no strings attached; after all, it was ‘just a hook up.’ While a hook up might mean anything from kissing to oral sex to going all the way, the lack of commitment is paramount.”
According to The Sunday Age, hundreds of university students in Victoria have turned to prostitution to pay their way through higher education. Up to forty percent of the female sex workers in Melbourne’s brothels are attending the city’s eight universities and other colleges.
‘Lap dancing’ in strip clubs has been identified as the most popular sector of the sex industry for female students. [33] Although they are also involved in the illegal and the legal sex industries and include the activities of table-top dancing, escort agencies, peep shows, massage parlours, brothels, and the street. A UK study found that five percent of female students worked in the sex industry and twenty percent had thought about it. There is a huge earning potential for these girls at the younger age range of their life. The Age reports that: “According to managers at numerous brothels across the city, a pretty woman can pocket as much as $1400 on a busy night.” They added that brothel owners stated that “between 40% and 50% of their girls were in full-time education.” One sex worker had paid her way through a law degree by working as a prostitute. I find that a strange concept of ‘success’. “I’m a successful lawyer. I paid my way by fucking random males.” The obsession with career and success has a weird effect on girls. I wonder if she would give this advice to her daughters or perhaps your daughters.
Sean Coughlan, an Education correspondent at the BBC wrote an article titled: ‘Teachers give higher marks to girls’ in which she cites an OECD report. This OECD report found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability. It was assumed that girls were better behaved in class which led teachers to give girls higher results than boys, even for the same quality of work. Thus, differences in school results often have little to do with ability. [27] The OECD report states that there is a consistent pattern of girls’ work being ‘marked up’ by teachers. It says that teachers are prone to reward “organizational skills, good behavior, and compliance” rather than objectively marking pupils’ work.
Girls tend to be more positive towards learning and are less disruptive in class. Boys, on the other hand, are less positive to school, are disruptive, and are less prone to complete homework. This leads to the marks being less reflective of ability. Clever boys may fail, not because they lack ability but because they did not do their homework.
I met this problem when teaching at a Catholic High School in Western Australia. It was common to ‘push’ the children to get the best school grades possible. But the student could fall down at university, when not pushed in the same manner when competing against students that had no had pressure tactics used at high school. As a teacher, I needed to encourage an enthusiasm for the subject, not just force the knowledge and be obsessive about homework so as to turn it into a hated evening chore. The OECD researchers seemed to think that this even flowed through into the workplace. In the words of Andreas Schleicher:
“In the long run, the world is going to penalize you because the labour market doesn’t pay you for your school marks, it pays you for what you can do.” [28]
The OECD report also suggested that in the science and mathematics areas, girls often underestimated their ability. Even capable girls lacked the self-confidence to pursue careers in science and technology. Their career choice then affects their earning potential. This risk-averse stance is reflected in statistics which, in a fit of illogic, are then used to denigrate males.
More research published in the ‘Journal of Human Resources’ [29] suggests girls do better in school because of their classroom behavior which causes teachers to assign girls higher marks. This leads teachers to assign grades on attentiveness, persistence, eagerness, independence, flexibility, and organization which are areas at which girls excel. Student grades were less dependent upon standardized testing. Teachers uniformly favoured girls. This bias also hinders boys progress into advanced learning areas. Because school grades are used to organize college admissions rather than standardized exams, the girls get a favoured situation. As a retired high school teacher, I can say that sitting quietly in class and producing neat punctual homework, does not qualify as intelligence. Some of my troublesome boy students were extremely bright but often only did half the homework and so I had to play a two-way game with them to get the performance out of them. They did, of course, try to think up questions that stretched my ability to answer. That was all part of my game. One also has to wonder whether female teachers treat the genders in different ways. I know from my teaching that the girls would play subconscious respect and relationship games with me, whilst boys would play a more robust challenge. In science practical lessons, things would get burnt, sparks would fly, cables would purposely get connected to wrong things in real life experimentation. I knew it was happening, but I also knew that they were learning from their games. If you pull the pipe off a Bunsen burner, and blow down the pipe, eventually all the Bunsen burners in the room are extinguished. “Not me sir!” I would have a ‘pretend’ investigation making sure that I did not find a culprit. Girls were good. They stuck to the instructions. They followed patterns, but they did not challenge. Boys challenged the knowledge that I was giving them.
This has changed since my time as a teacher. Schools suspend boys for being boys or have them medicated ... boys were not made to sit still in a chair all day. To give males a chance in education, they need to be challenged. Not so with girls. A blogger with the pseudo name G4L rants with:
“School itself is molded for them — They can hit, abuse (both physically and verbally) and belittle boys and they will 100% get away with it because they are born with a vagina, while boys — you can bet your ass they will get suspended!” [40]
Ninety-three percent of workplace deaths are men.
Hach8: “Check out the recent survey that seventy-five of women are unwilling to date unemployed men. And see the response to that survey on feminist blogs. The reaction is largely that it’s justified, then there’s a bunch of futile explanation about why this isn’t a gender stereotype when it clearly is.”
The reverse is not the case.
In 1920, women obtained the vote. From 1920 to 1980, the female population turned out less often than men. After 1980, a reversal occurred and, since then, women have exceeded men in voter turnout. The range is from a low of 4 points in 1988, to a high of 10 percentage points in 1996. [31] In 2017, 104 of the 435 members of congress were women, twenty-one in the Senate and one-hundred-and-four in the House. Women have the voting power, but are not putting women into power! Donald Trump was elected against Hillary Clinton by an electorate where there were more female voters than male voters!
Out of interest, I sometimes ask males: “Would you vote for a person that you disliked, if you thought that they would get the job done?” I regularly get the answer: “Yes.”
More than half the voters are female, yet the feminists claim that there are not enough female politicians. The major reason is that women are not applying to be politicians. Thus the blame is being put on the bogeyman, patriarchy, and the male politicians, yet there is not the volume of women political aspirants. Those females that do apply to be politicians are not being voted in by females. If, by chance, women voted for a female because she was female rather than her ability to govern, the females would irreparably damage a damaged democracy. The concept of democracy requires that persons vote for the best person irrespective of race, colour or gender. If black people vote for black candidates, Hispanic for Hispanic, and white for white, we have a destroyed democracy and unrepairable division within a nation. Perhaps that is why Gadhafi said that it was better to only have one religion in a nation. Equality only works with equality, not with division such as gender, race or religion. There is little point in aggravating division within a country by encouraging division.
The only times in history where a woman has brought down an empire is by marrying a great leader, becoming his partner, to know his politics and future plans, then to tell all his secrets to the nation’s enemies. The lady needs to be a traitor, spy, and deceptive. The first step is to be attractive and classy enough for one of these men to want to sleep with her.
The style of ‘equality’ that feminism is pursuing is far from equal and far from having both genders situations in mind. It is a warped equality that appears to give women an advantage. Unfortunately, the perceived advantages turn out to be to the detriment of women and place them in a bad position and in a state of unhappiness.
Miss Anne Thrope: “Feminists are basically ruining life for the few decent women left because few men are willing to trust any woman anymore.”
Bell Hooks: “women refuse participation in feminist movement because they felt an anti-male stance was not a sound basis for action. They were convinced that virulent expressions of these sentiments intensify sexism by adding to the antagonism which already exists between women and men”
