Three in four women unaware menopause can trigger new mental illness, poll finds

Until this week’s latest dump of the Epstein files by Trump’s justice department, I hadn’t seen the connection between the two. But now it’s as clear as day. The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein’s fantasies in order to gain influence or funding.

Teaching gender studies in college will save non-college girls from givig blowjobs for a living.

That’s one of those arguments dreamed up while firmly kegeling a tampon, isn’t it?

The 3.5m documents that have thus far been released to the public – out of a reported 6m documents pertaining to Epstein in the US justice department’s possession – paint Epstein as someone for whom elites, and particularly elite men, often felt a sense of camaraderie and affection, maintaining intimate and friendly relationships long after his 2008 conviction on child sexual abuse charges. And their content implies that, in some cases, this was not simply a case of them turning a blind eye to their friend’s sexual crimes: the powerful actively approached Epstein for sexual and romantic advice, and saw him as a thrower of “wild” parties and a listening ear in whom they could confide their anxieties about the excesses of the #MeToo movement.

Men have a thing for fertile female flesh. News at 11.

Moira, of course, disapproves. But there we are.

All that being said, the pressure on women is unlike that on men, for reasons that stretch into the thousands before you even get to “which one of them has to give birth?”. The age of 29 was presumably chosen symbolically, to flag that 30 is just around the corner, and that’s when you’re supposed to worry about your fertility. It’s an exceedingly cautious cut-off point, and a heavily gendered one, by which I mean, when did you last hear anyone say, “tick tock, tick tock” to a man on the occasion of his 30th birthday?

That is not gendered, that is sexed. It is also a simple statement of fact. The fertility of the male sex is not time limited in the same sense that the fertility of the female sex is. Just one of those things about our species.

And this is nonsense:

In other words, don’t buy it, French 29-year-olds: you’re being used as pawns in the creation of a Great Replacement narrative. That’s the worst reason ever to start a family.

Women working in tech and financial services are at greater risk of losing their jobs to increased use of AI and automation than their male peers, according to a report that found experienced females were also being sidelined as a result of “rigid hiring processes”.

It means the wimmins are doing the more boring, routiune and thus mechanisable jobs in tech and financial services, no?

‘Women hold our power in our orifices’: Kristen Stewart

Fairly blunt way of putting it but yes, OK…..

Older women disappear from presenting roles across the BBC while older men are regarded as “gaining gravitas and wisdom”, according to an internal review of the broadcaster’s record on representation.

A “noticeable mismatch” in the number of staff and freelance male and female presenters over the age of 60 was uncovered by the review.

It heard evidence that while older men are seen as becoming imbued with greater authority, older women had to either keep looking younger or develop “idiosyncratic personas”.

While women outnumbered men in terms of presenters under 50, men “significantly outnumbered” women among the over-50s – with 237 women to 394 men.

Pretty young totty gets a leg up (fnarr, fnarr) in getting a presenter’s job. When those looks, that lusciousness, fade, that advantage goes away. Shrug.

So, if we require sexual equality here the totty has to stop getting the leg up, right?

A nurse who was disciplined for calling a transgender paedophile “Mr” is facing dismissal for allegedly speaking publicly about her ordeal.
Jennifer Melle, 40, was issued with a final written warning after misgendering the patient at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, in May 2024.
Ms Melle said she referred to the individual, an inmate from a high-security men’s prison listed as male on their medical record, as “Mr” and “he” while discussing the use of a catheter.
She told them: “Sorry I cannot refer to you as ‘her’ or ‘she’, as it’s against my faith and Christian values but I can call you by your name.”

The use of a catheter would seem to be one of those times when biological sex – in hte absence of anyone having had the chop – was the operating necessity, no?

But being sensible isn’t any part of gender politics now, is it?

On X, a woman posts a photo in a sari, and within minutes, various users are underneath the post tagging Grok to strip her down to a bikini. It is a shocking violation of privacy, but now a familiar and commonplace practice. Between June 2025 and January 2026, I documented 565 instances of users requesting Grok to create nonconsensual intimate imagery. Of these, 389 were requested in just one day.

Last Friday, after a backlash against the platform’s ability to create such nonconsensual sexual images, X announced that Grok’s AI image generation feature would only be available to subscribers. Reports suggest that the bot now no longer responds to prompts to generate images of women in bikinis (although apparently will still do so for requests about men).

But as the technology secretary, Liz Kendall, rightly states, this action “does not go anywhere near far enough”.

Why is a piccie in a bikini a sexual image?

Sure, sure, at one point in society a glimpse of ankle was enough. But we’re different now. Standard dress for teenage girls walking down the street these days is little more than a bikini. And don’t you dare say that’s flashing you misogynist you.

“It’s the actual back and forth of it, [trying] to shut someone down by saying, ‘Grok, put her in a bikini,’” she said.

“The performance of it is really important there, and really shows the misogynistic undertones of it, trying to punish or silence women. That also has a cascading effect on democratic norms and women’s role in society.”

Why is this misogyny? Why does it shut women down?

They are at least admitting the obvious here:

“There are hundreds of apps hosted on mainstream app stores like Apple and Google that make this possible,” said Nina Jankowicz, a disinformation expert who co-founded the American Sunlight Project. “Much of the infrastructure of deepfake sexual abuse is supported by companies that we all use on a daily basis.”

OK, the tools exist. They will be used. What’s going to happen is that they’ll just become the background to a normal life. Because that’s what happens to things that are ubiquitous. Give it 6 months and it’ll be “Oh, that’s AI. And?”

It’s very telling that the most vocal self-appointed “protectors of women and girls” have nothing to say about the absolutely horrific production of AI-generated sexual abuse images of real women and children that’s happening on X on an industrial scale.

As they continue to post on X, in many cases paying for the privilege to do so, the anti-trans activists, columnists, politicians and publishers are making it very clear that while the existence of trans women in public is beyond the pale for them, widespread image-based sexual abuse of women and children is not.

AI images is just like slicing the tits off a teenage girl.

No, really.

But there is a new, arguably greater threat: the extremism of young women. If young men have trended Rightwards and downwards, young women have gone to the dark Left. Haven’t you noticed that the most passionate disrupters, yelling till puce in the face, are women?

Major surveys have already shown that Gen Z women have moved sharply to the Left over the past few years. In the UK, the 2024 election showed how wide the gender gap, in electoral politics alone, has become.

A good 23 per cent of 18- to 24-year-old women voted Green, compared to 12 per cent of young men and 6.7 per cent of the general population.

So that century long experiment hasn’t worked out. The wisdom of our forefathers – to emotional to be able to think properly about things – has proven correct.

Back we go therefore.

Right?

The Trump administration is facing a legal complaint from a group of government employees affected by a new policy going into effect Thursday that eliminates coverage for gender-affirming care in federal health insurance programs.

The complaint, filed Thursday on the employees’ behalf by the Human Rights Campaign, is in response to an August announcement from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that it would no longer cover “chemical and surgical modification of an individual’s sex traits through medical interventions” in health insurance programs for federal employees and US Postal Service workers.

The complaint argues that denying coverage of gender-affirming care is sex-based discrimination and asks the personnel office to rescind the policy.

I can see that it’s discrimination about gender, yes. Even willing, for the sake of argument, to agree it’s discrimination about sex. But it’s not discrimination on the basis if sex, which is what sex discrimination means. They’ll not pay for female to male, nor male to female. Thus it’s not discrimination upon the basis of sex, is it?

But accusations against him wouldn’t disappear for good.
Indeed, by the time of the FBI’s April 2020 letter, he had fathered eight children with five women

Now, yes, that is just an extract and yet that is a continuous extract. Fathering children with different women is, well, umm, an accusation? Bad?

In a way that noting that a woman has children by different fathers is not an accusation, bad, perhaps?

As it happens Nygard was indeed a Bad’Un. But it’s just that bit there which I think interesting – and interesting not about him at all, but interesting about what is being assumed by the journalist.

The phrase female genital mutilation is “stigmatising” to certain cultures and should be replaced with a more “inclusive” term, academics have argued in a British Medical Journal publication.
In an article published in the BMJ’s Journal of Medical Ethics, researchers called for the term to be replaced with the phrase “female genital practices” to “account for cultural complexity and avoid the reductive and stigmatising force of the term ‘mutilation’”.

Whitey’s being unfair to darkies, see?

In the article, academics suggest that criticism of FGM is based on “racialised stereotypes” and “Western sensationalism”.
The 25 co-authors, made up of academics from the University of Cambridge, the University of Bristol and Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said that they had different views on “debates and disagreements” about such practices, with some opposed to all genital cutting practices and others arguing “it is up to parents to decide what is best for their children”.
However, they wrote: “We are concerned that, out of all the genital practices alluded to above — carried out across cultures, age ranges, sexes and genders — there has been a systematic tendency to cordon off and single out, for purposes of condemnation and critique, only those practices affecting non-intersex females, and among these, only those that are customary in the global south, especially in Africa (or in diaspora communities), while ignoring similar practices that have long been customary in powerful countries of the global north.”

To criticise the practice of cutting off a woman’s clitoris is bad because it’s Global North, see?

Peter Malinauskas, the 45-year-old premier of South Australia and father of four children aged ten and under, was at home with his wife. She had just read the final page of The Anxious Generation, the psychologist Jonathan Haidt’s best-selling book about the dangers of social media to young people. “I will never forget one night, she finished the book, she turned to me and she said: ‘You better bloody do something about this,’” Malinauskas recalled.
The democratic world’s first social media ban began in Australia on Wednesday.

So an entire country gets pussy whipped into something then, eh?

So, what else is subject to this sort of femininity? Politics say? And if so, was the expansion of the franchise really all that wise?

Scientists have issued an urgent warning that some of the synthetic chemicals that help underpin the current food system are driving increased rates of cancer, neurodevelopmental conditions and infertility, while degrading the foundations of global agriculture.

The health burden from phthalates, bisphenols, pesticides and Pfas “forever chemicals” amounts to up to $2.2tn a year – roughly as much as the profits of the world’s 100 largest publicly listed companies, according to the report published on Wednesday.

Most ecosystem damage remains unpriced, they say, but even a narrow accounting of ecological impacts, taking into account agricultural losses and meeting water safety standards for Pfas and pesticides, implies a further cost of $640bn. There are also potential consequences for human demographics, with the report concluding that if exposure to endocrine disruptors such as bisphenols and phthalates persists at current rates, there could be between 200 million and 700 million fewer births between 2025 and 2100.

The biggest source of endocrine disruptors in modern societies’ water is women pissing out the byproducts of the pill. Strangely, no one ever does say women should have to pay for this pollution.

Well, I have done, a couple of times, and didn’t I get stick for having done so?

‘It was extremely pornographic’: Cara Hunter on the deepfake video that nearly ended her political career

The Irish politician was targeted in 2022, in the final weeks of her run for office. She has never found out who made the malicious deepfake, but knew immediately she had to try to stop this happening to other women

Politics is not going to be able to stop this. Sorry and all that but it just isn’t. The tech exists, it will be used because there are bad people out there.

The only solution – and it’s the one that will happen just because that’s the way the world works – is that in a decade or three we’ll simply accept that video evidence is not evidence. Too easy to fake therefore that’s that – we’ll just, as a society, assume that it is faked. It will all be as convincing as cutting out a face from a photo and sticking it on a Page 3 girl.

Doesn;t help people today when it’s maybe and about believable that something might not be a fake. But as I say the solution, the end point, is going to be that having film of something just isn’t proof of anything at all other than a few command lines.

Rising levels of hate forcing women out of Swedish public life, says equality agency

Well, you know, maybe.

The 2025 politicians’ security survey, carried out by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, found that 26.3% of female elected representatives reported being exposed to threats and harassment last year because of their position. The equivalent figure for men was 23.6%.

Ah. It’s not quite as much as a genderdly thing as being suggested then, eh?
