The grip of feminist ideology on our key institutions : Comments

By Bettina Arndt, published 18/5/2018

I am orchestrating a campaign to protest the dismissal of Rob Tiller who was forced out of his job for posting on his private Facebook page an article I wrote on domestic violence.

I would like to thank Opinionated2 for demonstrating that the men here are right. She has certainly demonstrated that women can get get just as angry as men. I wonder what happens behind closed doors at her house, if you know what I mean. She also gave us several demonstrations of how many women might talk about wanting gentle modern men, but seem to view us with distain.

I have no trouble believing that male victims of DV don't tell OP2 about their problems. They know they will get blamed. Any woman who tells men to go to the police and complain about DV is very entitled, for the same reason. Police are a product of the same society that tells people that any DV must be the man's fault. Furthermore, few of them care about the rights and wrongs of the argument that has brought them to someone else's house.

OP2, please go back to the 1950s, where it was OK to tell a man to be a real man. Being a real man seems like too much trouble for the rest of us here in 2018.

//In addition, cases with female killers aren't reported//

What, so Aileen Wuornos, Lizzie Borden, Myra Hindley and Katherine Knight were all just fellas in drag?

I suspect you may be half right, and that murders by females are less likely to be reported. That's because they tend to be less dramatic than murders by men - women tend to favour poison, whereas men go for more violent methods.

However, when women commit violent murders, they are verily heavily reported, no doubt because it so unusual for this to occur. Does anybody remember the name of some male axe murderer from a hundred years ago? Nope. But we all know who Lizzie Borden is.... and she was acquitted.

The chances of a violent dismemberment and decapitation not making the news when the perpetrator is male are infintesimal. If the perpetrator was female, that would only increase the likelihood of it being reported.

For a case like that to go completely unreported, as claimed by Wolly B? I call bullshite.

Like you I expected it to be in the papers, but it wasn't. I was told about by the Police officer who attended the scene.
