Teenage girls rob taxi, one gets injured, report leads with 'poor girl'

So here's a story about a bunch of teenage girls who allegedly robbed a taxi driver at knife point (it's still armed robbery!) and one of them gets injured.

Oddly enough, the media leads with the whole 'poor girl gets injured' bit and then adding in what she was doing just before she was injured.

Any article written about a man getting injured like that would be written as "karma strikes", but we can be that flippant about a girl being injured, even if she was involved in armed robbery.

Female security guard takes down woman, report silent on gender of guard

So, here's the story of a female security guard getting physical with a drunk female and the report practically praises the female guard for her heavy handed tactics.

Apart from the pictures and video, there's nothing in the article that spells out the gender of the security guard getting physical, but we know that the headline would be different if it were a male security guard beating down a female.

New Muslim political party

So, there's now going to be a Muslim political party in Australia to represent the 500,000 Muslim Australians (although this would only be true if Australia had 29 million people).

It's interesting to note this because in Islam they don't believe in democracy, only in the rule of Islam, so technically by voting for one of their own, they're not following Islam.

I'd like to know who is criticizing Islam for 'not being loud enough', as this guy supposedly claims.  If anything, Muslims are overly loud based on the numbers of people in their religion (they're only 1.7% of the population).  We don't have a Buddhist party, we don't see Buddhists telling Australians that they deserve to be in Australia less than Buddhists and we certainly don't hear about Buddhists telling us they're going to take over our country and install their own brand of religious laws (Sharia).

Of course, maybe that's just because Buddhists are more subtle about how they take over, but I doubt it.

The Conversation goes full Left-wing on Islamic attacks

So, the 'news' website The Conversation has decided to go full retard follow the Islamic attacks in Paris, first by publishing an article stating that resisting xenophobia might stop terrorism because stopping migrants won't.

Then, to boot, they followed up with an article about how some countries are favouring Christian migrants (you know, the ones being beheaded) over Islamic ones (the ones belonging to the 
'religion of peace' doing the beheading).

I've got to say, I've seen some far-left wing articles on that website, but I honestly believe they just went full Left-wing (you NEVER go full left-wing) and doubled down on what is completely the wrong time.  It'd be like the American Rifle Association choosing to hold a pro-gun rally after over 300 people have been shot and over 100 people have died.

I honestly think that the Conversation has truly lost the plot and both of those authors need to be relieved of their positions, both at the website AND at the Universities at which they preach work.

Media rushes to the defense of a woman who chained her autistic son to the bed

So, as we've come to expect, the media is nothing but defensive in this case where a woman chained her autistic son to the bed.

Notice how, in the media's defense of her actions: "I do everything for him.  I have no help.  No one from the government or anywhere comes to help me", yet in the same article it's mentioned that the boy was found by his carer.

How can a boy have a carer if she gets no help?

I know five children is a lot, but the media seriously needs to stop defending the indefensible.

Woman fights off man of African appearance

So, here's the story of a brave woman who successfully fought off a male attacker in her home.

What's interesting here is the conflicting story agenda:

1. to tell the world a strong woman who
2. fought off an evil male
3. but tucks away the alleged race of the the evil male

Good on the woman, but notice how it takes until the 6th paragraph to identify that the male in question is "of African appearance".

The conflicting agendas are almost palpable!

Woman sentenced to jail for eight years, a change in the air?

Here's an interesting story about a UK woman jailed for 8 years for pretending to be a man.

It's interesting that the courts have come down so hard on this woman, which could be a sign of changes to come, or a one in a million.

I guess the whole full disclosure for full consent is going to affect women too!

Woman divorces husband, gets house and car yet still not enough

So, here's the unfortunate story of a woman who got divorced from her husband (no mention of who initiated the divorce, but statistically speaking it's most likely her) who, despite getting the house and the car, still thought she got a raw deal.

Why is she surprised that if she got the house and the car that she'd also get the bills for said house and car?  Did she honestly think her ex-husband was going to keep paying the bills, even if he's not living there?

There was no mention of child support, which we know is mandatory in the US, so whilst she's living 'hard' in what could be an expensive house (the more your house is worth, the bigger the bills are!) and presumably getting child support, it's still not enough.

Oh, and women have a hard time after divorce.  Must be that gender pay gap again.

Hopefully this story sends a message to women considering divorcing their husband for no reason.  Probably won't though.

Female MPs in NZ ejected for speaking out of turn, feign outrage

So, a couple of female MPs who are feigning outrage over being labelled rape supporters (they're trying to keep asylum seekers in the country, some who have been allegedly found guilty of rape) but decide to go on the "I'm offended" track.

So, shouldn't they be MORE inclined to want to keep rapists out of their country?  Interesting that protecting foreigners is more important than protecting your own people from potentially, and in this case ACTUALLY, dangerous people.

Girl praised for not answering a maths problem correctly

So, as opposed to the boys who legitimately attempted to answer maths questions and were given no marks because it wasn't in the format the teacher wanted, here is the story of a girl who was praised for her hilarious response to a maths question.

What a wonderful world in which we live where a boy loses marks for failing to show an array of numbers in the right way, yet a girl is praised for citing the "girl code".

Outcry over lesbians being asked to make room for married couple

So, there's outcry over a lesbian couple being asked to move seats to make space for a married couple.

Interestingly there aren't any people coming forward saying "married couples should get preference in seating over unmarried couples, which is what happens whenever single males are asked to move away from children on flights.

I think the fact that one of the lesbians is a lawyer is the reason why the outcry.

I've been moved several times on flights, sometimes to make room for families, other times to move me away from children.  I've never complained as I've always feared being blacklisted by airlines for future travels.

The airline that I'll never fly with again is Emirates, despite their flights sometimes being cheaper.  Whilst I don't mind being moved much, I REALLY don't like being treated like garbage and a pedophile even though I'm a paying customer.

Ironically, Qantas partnered with Emirates, so I probably won't be flying Qantas on overseas flights for concerns I may find myself once again in the 'hospitality' of an airline that treated me extremely poorly.

A woman ran over a 14 year old girl, gender removed

So, a woman is alleged to have run over a 14 year old girl with her car.  Only thing is that the article has completely removed any mention of the gender of the person who was driving the car at the time.

You can be sure that if it were a man driving the headline would be "man runs over 14 year old girl with car".

This goes beyond any 4th paragraph M.O., this is outright suppression of blame!

Push for more male primary school teachers

So, Western Australia is pushing for more male teachers in primary school.

Ok, so they're not offering them more money, they're not promising them additional protection against false allegations, they're just "pushing".

Great.  Let's see how that one goes.

I'm sure the "27.4 per cent" of males studying education (up from "20 per cent" in 2012) is across education, not just in primary schooling.  Also, there's a BIG difference between studying and actually finishing.  How many men will complete their degree to become a primary school teacher once they sit the obligatory "you're at risk of false accusations, also you're going to be a suspected pedophile for most of your career" class.

Oh wait, they don't warn them about that, they just let them find out for themselves.

Female ecstasy trafficker is glorified in the media

So, here's a story about a woman who has since pleaded guilty to trafficking ecstasy, who managed to escape police custody.

The interesting thing is that we never got what we get if it were a male on the run: a running news bulletin about an escaped criminal who is on the loose.  Even now the media is holder her up as a "what an amazing person who managed to escape police", even though they were preoccupied with trying to save the woman's dogs from getting hit by traffic!

No, the headline is all about "bikini model evades police", not "ecstasy trafficker escapes police custody".

Imagine the headline if they'd just left her dogs to get hit by cars.

An all-female reboot of Ocean's Eleven

So, apparently there's now rumours of an all-female reboot of Ocean's Eleven.  One must ask why.

The reboot from the original was brought about to use the story in a modern setting and to work with the technology of today.  This reboot sounds like a "let's do it because we can" as the technology hasn't changed much to make a reboot worthwhile.

I'm guessing it's going to do as badly as the all-female reboot of Ghostbusters will do, not that I'm planning on actually seeing it to determine if it's any good.

Apparently men say they want women who are smarter than themselves...

Here's a study that should come as no surprise, concluding that men aren't attracted to women who are smarter than they are and women are attracted to men who are more powerful.

It's interesting to note that the men in the study are supposed to have said they wanted a woman who was more intelligent than themselves, which I find pretty far-fetched.  Most men I know want to be with a smart woman, but that doesn't automatically mean that she's got to be smarter than he does!

There's no surprise about women saying they don't care about status when they really do.  I can't remember how many women I was rejected by who "just wanted a nice guy" who'd then give me the usual excuses for why they didn't want to date.  I guess they meant "I just want a nice guy with a great job, awesome body and his own house", but that doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Erin Brockovich is back defending women

So, Erin Brockovich is back, this time fighting for women who have been hurt and/or mislead by a birth control device sold them.

What she gets wrong is that men ONLY have two options of birth control (excluding abstinence, that's not birth control, that's just not having sex!) including condoms and vasectomy and reports about the side effects and possible complications of the latter is kept out of the media.  The world hasn't stopped, except for those poor men suffering from vasectomies gone wrong.  I wonder if there are 20,000 of them around the world, which maybe Brockovich will accept that, no, the world doesn't stop when men are in pain, we just don't get told about it.

The most promising birth control method for men in the last 50 years is Vasalgel, yet it's being strangely held back, yet this women's one is somehow able to get released despite these problems.  Interesting...

Woman violated on plane, media unsure how to proceed

So, here we have a case of a woman who took some sleeping drugs on a long-haul flight and woke to suspect that the man (of middle eastern appearance) sitting next to her had rubbed her all over (including supposedly 'downstairs').

The media was obviously caught between a rock and a hard place because, on the one hand they just NEED to point out what an evil man has done.  What they waited to report was that the accused man, Nadeem Mehmood Quraishi, was of middle eastern appearance.

If it had been a white male, then we would have known that from the title alone.
