Women Want A Shorter Work Week Because... Equality?

Terrence Popp: For 90 years, feminism has told the world that women can do everything men can do. Except this article proves that's a bunch of crap.

#WhatAboutUsBlokes

By Rob Tiller: Feminist commentator Clementine Ford would be a nightmare in couples counseling I suspect. If her crazy-making political antics translate to her love life, she’d be whipping out her frequent flyer victim card and pointing the blame finger before Mr Ford could spit out his first gripe. How could any therapist help one of the shrillest radical voices in Australia get along better with her partner when deep down she doesn’t appear to like or respect men very much? Senator Leyonhelm recently termed it “misandry”, the female version of misogyny.
In one of Ford’s more recent Fairfax rants she sarcastically professes, “as everyone knows, the most oppressed person in the world today is the humble white man”. For a split second, I caught myself feeling sorry for her son’s father, a white guy, for the racist rants he must frequently cop. In my private practice, I generally view relationship partners as ‘volunteers’ and try to avoid dealing victim status to either gender unless there are significant levels of unilateral partner violence. Even if Ms Ford is keeping her hands to herself, I imagine Mr Ford might benefit from some military-grade assertiveness coaching.
Ten years as a couples counsellor has taught me that men and women both can act out aggressive tendencies during conflict. Bettina Arndt, in her classic article Always Beating Up on Men, notes “most family violence is two-way aggression, with international research showing about a third of couples have a go at each other — pushing, slapping, shoving or worse”.

Germany Calls For Global Payment System Independent Of The USA

"It’s essential that we strengthen European autonomy by establishing payment channels that are independent of the US, creating a European Monetary Fund and building up an independent Swift system." German foreign minister Heiko Maas.

By Tyler Durden: In a stunning vote of "no confidence" in the US monopoly over global payment infrastructure, Germany’s foreign minister Heiko Maas called for the creation of a new payments system independent of the US that would allow Brussels to be independent in its financial operations from Washington and as a means of rescuing the nuclear deal between Iran and the west.
Writing in the German daily Handelsblatt, Maas said "Europe should not allow the US to act over our heads and at our expense. For that reason it’s essential that we strengthen European autonomy by establishing payment channels that are independent of the US, creating a European Monetary Fund and building up an independent Swift system," he wrote, cited by the FT.
