UCL Is A Feminist Hothouse - Last Night It Finally Confronted The Facts
By Belinda Brown: At UCL this evening we will launch the Gender Equity Network with an inaugural lecture questioning the wisdom of imposing gender equality policies on universities.
UCL’s spiritual founder, Jeremy Bentham, has been described as a pugnacious critic of established political doctrines. He created the concept of utilitarianism with its axiom: “It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people that is the measure of right and wrong”. Bentham’s axiom seems the perfect antidote to the ideology of political correctness which appears to measure right and wrong according to the greatest happiness of a small but vocal group of career women. I believe we have Bentham’s blessings upon us. UCL is a great place for the Gender Equity Network to start.
Academia has been spewing feminist legitimacy for decades - giving the oxygen feminism needs to survive. We have never been able to question feminist precepts or explore feminism objectively and be able to go on getting funding for research.
Athena SWAN is the scheme which patrols gender inequality in academia. Started only a few years ago, it seeks to ensure that funding to universities who are engaged in science-related research is dependent on evidence of active participation in equality schemes. You could say that the feminist thumb screws are really on.
Supporters of Athena SWAN are interested in ensuring more women have top jobs in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) and arts, humanities, social sciences, business and law (AHSSBL). Conspicuously, they are not trying to cajole women into less desirable jobs – such as refuse collection – mostly done by men.
They are only interested in one aspect of gender inequality in education – gender issues relating to staffing in higher education. This is also the only area in the whole of the education system where women appear to be the victims of inequality rather than men. And even here, below the senior levels, there is no significant gender gap in terms of numbers of academic staff overall. It is only in some subjects, or at senior levels, that men dominate higher education staffing numbers. Even these differences appear to be a result of diminishing numbers of women employed at older ages - ‘the leaky pipeline’ - and in fact those who do reach seniority do so at the same age as men. This suggests that if you stick at the job your chances of making it to the top are equally fair.

Spare Us The PC Drive To Plaster Feeble Women’s Sport All Over TV
By Kathy Gyngell: Who really wants to watch women’s sport? I appeal to you. Own up! No one, except the mums, dads and siblings of our latter day would be female football and rugby stars. Not even Sepp Blatter, though he once claimed he wanted to see the numbers of women playing football grow by 50 per cent.
Catch him watching them? Very few of his questionable millions have gone their way. That’s the measure of its real market value - interest in it. Actions always speak louder than words.
If people dared be honest they’d admit that neither women’s football, nor cricket nor rugby, has any takers - apart from the lasses who tog up to play. Without the bullying BBC and every other feminised outfit pushing it down our throats, no one would be talking about it. But never fear, the feminist front of women’s sport more than makes up for its lack of fans.
I have had had it up to here – to drowning point - frankly. First, we had women’s cricket paraded before us on the sports spot on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme all summer long. Even Sky Sports was at it, devoting precious sports minutes to inane coverage of a wimmin’s Ashes in Australia. Who cared? No one! I don’t know what the cricket-loving chaps thought but I was ready to scream.
It has certainly been enough to undermine the confidence of the men’s team. They don’t know who they are or how they should behave. No wonder they keep throwing wobblies or descend so easily into defeat. Soon they will be victims too.
