How the feminist cancer is destroying a once great nation

The latest article from Janice Fiamengo’s Substack shows how deeply Great Britain is riddled with the man-hating cancer of feminism. In Australia, the feminist cancer has not penetrated as deeply as in Great Britain, but it is on its way.

Feminism and the Grooming Gangs

Why elite feminists prefer to target white men as the UK’s primary sexual predators

Grooming Gang Scandal: Why is the UK government responsible for this  nationwide horror? | Media Scan

Just don’t ask where all this outrage for rape victims was when a jury in a civil trial concluded Farage’s good friend Donald Trump had sexually abused the writer E. Jean Carroll, or when Trump proposed Matt Gaetz—who was facing allegations (which he denied) of sex with a minor—for attorney general.

Gaby Hinsliff, “This is how the grooming scandal is being weaponized

*****

For decades, most prominent feminists in the United Kingdom kept quiet about the Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs, preoccupied with the gender pay gap, the nefarious influence of Andrew Tate, or the need to criminalize “persistent staring.”

When they do address the issue, their response is to make bizarre equivalencies, as above, and to insist that all men are equally to blame for child rape and exploitation.

In a recent article for The Spectator, for example, British feminist advocate Julie Bindel, one of the few feminists who did write about the scandal in earlier years, was toeing the party line. In the final paragraph of her article (“Grooming gang victims are still being ignored”), she expressed the conviction that

“We need to see a wider acknowledgement of the scale of ‘grooming gangs’ beyond racial or cultural lines, because child sexual abuse has been going on for centuries and there will be plenty more victims until the police really address the issues.”

In Bindel’s formulation, a particular sex crime is universalized as “child sexual abuse” to smear all men in all times.

Bindel even suggested that white girls had been receiving rather too much attention while “black and minority” victims have had their experiences “obliterated by a narrative that portrays ‘grooming gangs’ as exclusively Pakistani Muslim men abusing white girls.” That dishonest sentence, in which the word exclusively is made to carry a heavy load of implication, is the only time in the entire article that Bindel uses the words Pakistani or Muslim. (No one credible has ever suggested that only Pakistani Muslims were involved or that only white girls were victimized.)

As a feminist of the Left, Bindel had always treated the grooming gangs story with caution. In “Mothers of Prevention,” an article she published in The Sunday Times back in 2007, she gave the names of convicted abusers and identified them as Pakistani Muslim, but she pressed home the point that “One of the many tragedies resulting from this phenomenon is how it is fueling racism and mistrust of whites towards Pakistanis where little existed previously.” Perhaps the girls raped at 12 and pimped out at 13 would have been better off if there had been a bit more mistrust and “racism” in their communities. And given how many people in positions of power worked together to protect the perpetrators, the racism seems to have been solely directed against white Britons, especially against the parents who pleaded in vain for the criminals to be stopped.

Bettina Arndt needs our support

The Arndt Army

– Changing the lives of men

Bettina Arndt Jan 15, 2025

Welcome to The Arndt Army.

It’s been an exciting few weeks, planning a whole new phase in my crusade for men. Amongst my supporters is an AI nerd, Steve Rossiter, who very kindly offered to use this extraordinary new technology to promote key articles and blogs from the forty years I have spent advocating for men. Eventually we plan to have my major books available on audio presented in my voice, perhaps even translated into a variety of languages, plus many of my major articles and blogs.

And Steve’s even promised to produce an avatar – a virtual me! That will be coming soon.

This is the start of The Arndt Army – soon to be launched on X as @TheArndtArmy – aimed at bringing all those years of research and advocacy to a huge new audience. Those of you who are not keen on the X platform will be able to access new developments in the Notes section of my Substack page.

The Arndt Army will also be a call to action, led by some of the outstanding volunteers who have reached out to me over the years, keen to contribute to change. I’m pulling together a leadership team who will take the initiative on key fronts needing attention, such as providing support for men in our legal system, and convincing politicians that Australia is at crisis point.

Over 500 people have volunteered to help me over the past decade, but I need to know who is currently on board to take urgent action. Here’s a survey for you to fill in to be part of The Arndt Army if you are able to step up now.

I know that men and their loved ones across the country have had enough of males being targeted in this shockingly biased system. Now’s the time to do your bit. We need team leaders to pull everything together but also plenty of people on the ground, willing to write letters, join groups visiting politicians, or simply support men on the phone or sit with them during their court cases. Our Mothers of Sons group will be welcome to join The Arndt Army, contributing to our community wide effort.

In case you need a reminder of why we must get moving, here are a few stories which have crossed my desk in recent months – just some of the sad stories of injustice towards men that have now reached an absolute torrent.

Men under siege.

Narcissist Grace Tame

Grace Tame is the centre of the world. Whatever she does, whatever she thinks, we all have to pay attention even if it’s childish behaviour that would embarrass a 12-year-old.

Naturally, she has the full support of the ABC. Indeed, the ABC is stricken with corporate narcissism.

Both the individual and corporation are in need of long sessions of therapy.

Former Australian of the Year Grace Tame has called out the Murdoch media empire, wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “F*** Murdoch” during a morning tea with the prime minister.

Anthony Albanese hosted the event at his Canberra residence, The Lodge, welcoming former winners and finalists for this year’s awards ahead of the main celebration on Saturday evening.

As Ms Tame shook his hand, she turned to face the media, showing off her T-shirt.

She said she wore the shirt to “speak truth to power”. 

“This whole awards program is a platform for making change,” Ms Tame told the ABC on Saturday evening. 

For feminists an accusation is enough

Alexander Zverev, defeated by Jannik Sinner in the final of the Australian Tennis Open, had to endure the screaming abuse of an obese feminist while addressing the crowded stadium post-match. Zverev has been accused of domestic abuse. He denies the accusations.

A journalist produced two articles detailing the alleged abuse of an ex-girlfriend. You see the repeated pattern. Feminists enter the fray and the persecution starts.

No leaving it to the proper instruments to adjudicate the accusations. No, for feminists the mere accusation is enough.

Jordan Peterson on female emotion

If Jordan is right (below), then women should be barred from certain tasks and positions – for the health and safety of society.

Every Man Should Know This About Women’s Emotions

Jordan Peterson

In this enlightening talk, Dr. Jordan Peterson explores the psychological reasons behind why women generally score higher on levels of negative emotion than men. Delving into key gender differences that emerge from both biological and evolutionary perspectives, he explains how traits like neuroticism, associated with emotional sensitivity, diverge post-puberty and why women are more vulnerable to anxiety and depression. Dr. Peterson discusses the protective aspects of this emotional sensitivity in the context of motherhood, survival, and the innate need for vigilance. He also explains how these traits intersect with the complexities of modern societal roles and competitive environments.

Australia’s feminised legal system

Last year I was called up for jury duty. I made it to the jury selection in the courtroom which is the second stage in selecting the members of the jury.

In front of me – and the other prospective jury members – were a female judge, a female and a male associate to support the judge, a female barrister and a female solicitor for the defence, and a male barrister and a female solicitor for the prosecution. A female clerk was in charge of herding those for jury selection.

The female solicitor for the prosecution wore an expression of permanent fury – and the gay colours. I was not selected in the ballot.

Most graduates from university legal departments are now female.

The predominance of females in the law system is a total turnaround of the male-to-female ratio in the legal system. It’s safe to say that the overwhelming majority of those females are feminist activists, as in all sectors where females make it to executive positions. The female CEOs in the supermarket and airline sectors are not shy about announcing their intentions to pursue relentlessly quotas, that is, giving preference to females.

Jarryd Hayne was a fool not to suspect the trap he was walking into. But being a fool does not automatically mean one is guilty of each and every crime levelled against one – except if you’re a male.

Hayne’s experience in the Australian legal system has been a pitiless farce. What especially marks the feminist activist is her pitiless vindictiveness.

Justin Trudeau – spawn of his toxic feminist mother

There is a no more vomitous woke leader than Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In another stunning piece by Janice Fiamengo, we learn that Trudeau’s weak, weepy anti-masculine character was the work of a toxic feminist mother. Essential reading.

Canada’s “Proud Feminist” Leader

Emotional Justin Trudeau reacts to Downie's death

[Above, Justin Trudeau tears up over the death of the lead singer of The Tragically Hip]

Under attack from all sides, including from his Liberal caucus, and with his approval rating at an all-time low of 22%, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently retooled a signature strategy: affirming his feminist credentials. He told an audience at a gala for Equal Voice (an organization that focuses on getting women elected to public office) that he is a “proud feminist” and would always be an “ally” for (feminist) women. He strongly suggested that misogyny was the reason Kamala Harris was defeated in the American federal election.

For Trudeau, being a feminist “ally” involves accepting that political power and sexual freedom are the highest goods for women, ignoring the fact that the progress women have made toward these goals has not made them any happier. The main initiatives touted by Trudeau at the gala were government-funded daycare, government-funded contraception, and government-funded abortion—all necessary to liberate women from the alleged burdens of motherhood so that they might pursue sexual pleasure and power.

As the icing on the cake, the Liberal government would also continue to pour money into “a gender-based violence strategy” that assumes men to be a threat and women victims. Trudeau would never admit+ that married women living with their husbands are significantly less likely than other groups of women to be victims of intimate partner violence.

Ironically—or not, as we will see—Trudeau’s actual track record with feminist women in his government has not always been smooth. Recently, he had a very public falling-out with his deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, who made a resignation statement denouncing the feckless qualities she must always have known he possessed: his preference for “costly political gimmicks,” as she called them, and his too-evident self-focus. Freeland has decided to distance herself from Trudeau in the last days of his once-popular reign.

As Trudeau’s tenure reaches its end, it is worth reviewing his feminist style. Trudeau’s self-presentation has its roots in the mother who publicly humiliated Justin’s father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, abandoning their marriage and their three young sons in pursuit of the sexual freedom that Justin now champions. Margaret Trudeau’s wounding influence is indelibly stamped on her son, from his lavish public emoting to his capricious and at times cruel decisions.

Margaret Trudeau is 23. Margaret Trudeau, the wife of Prime Minister Pierre  Trudeau, is celebrating her 23rd birthday today. Her husband is in the  Toronto area, but she is in Ottawa –
