Typewriters Oppressed Women
Teddy Bear Teacher Returns To UK A British teacher jailed in Sudan for letting her class name a teddy bear Muhammad has spoken of her "ordeal", after returning to the
UK.
Hurrah! Hurrah! Thanks to all the publicity
and the vigorous interventions of our politicians and many leaders of the Muslim
community, our teddy bear teacher is now back home.
BUT ...
Plight Of Five Kidnapped Men To Be Covered Up
The UK government has condemned a videotape issued by the kidnappers of five British men held captive in
Iraq.
The five men were seized on 29 May from Baghdad's finance ministry building by gunmen disguised as police officers.
They have been held captive for more than six
months but, of course, you have never even heard of these men, right?
No vigorous interventions of our politicians
and many leaders of the Muslim community there, eh?
The Foreign Office spokesman said: "No matter what the cause, hostage-taking can never be justified."
Oh really?
Then, presumably, and for example, the prison
at Guantanamo Bay can never be justified!
What a load of hooey.
Of course hostage taking is justified!
The Americans have justified it for years!
When you are at war, taking hostages is part
of the deal. It always has been.
In fact, I am going to take Germaine Greer as
a hostage when I finally flip my lid and decide that I can take it no longer.
And then I am going to point this huge pistol at her ever-expanding backside and
make her dance naked around the kitchen singing, "Angry Harry is so
wonderful, Angry Harry is so right, Angry Harry is my master, He is my lovely
shining light."
And then it will be days and days of cooking
and housework for her!
And, in fact, I got very close indeed to planning her
kidnap last night.
I had recorded what turned out to be a great
documentary on the Hubble Telescope, and I had settled down on the sofa most
happily with a nice cup of tea and a whole bar of chocolate in order to be comfortable while I luxuriated in all those amazing
images of space.
Unfortunately, however, this Hubble programme
was on the BBC, and my video recorder had picked up the last two minutes of the
previous programme.
And what did I see? - a woman talking about
typewriters - you know, those olden things with keyboards that had real life
bits of metal that struck a carbon ribbon on to paper to make imprints of
letters.
Oh look. Here's one!

And guess what this woman was telling us
about typewriters?
Hold your breath and take your heart pills,
because you are not going to believe it .....
Typewriters were used to oppress women!
Yep: Typewriters were invented to oppress
women.
I nearly died.
I kid you not!
And, apparently, because of typewriters,
women all over the world wherein typewriters were deployed suddenly found
themselves even more oppressed than they were before - if such a thing is
possible.
You see, these poor women - millions of them
- were hauled out of their homes - by force I presume - to work in offices up
and down the country, so that they could earn a buck or two.
And this was oppression of the most heinous
kind.
You see; before the invention of typewriters,
women could stay at home and say, "Oh dear, life is much too tough out
there. Only a man can do those jobs." But when typewriters came along,
women discovered to their horror that there was actually work that they could
actually do, and so they no longer had an excuse to sit at home chatting all
day.
In other words, they were psychologically
oppressed out into the workplace.
Sacre Bleu!
I suspect that next week there will be a BBC
programme on how vacuum cleaners oppressed women, because the arrival of vacuum
cleaners meant that women felt obliged to vacuum their carpets.
And the week after that we will probably hear
how public transport ruined women's lives by making the workplace more
accessible.
And by the end of the series I expect that we
will discover that all of the advances in medicine were also designed to oppress
women because by living longer and healthier lives women would end up doing more
chores!
"This is outrageous," they will
soon be complaining. "No longer can we die of cancer, consumption or
reproductive complications. We have to go out to work! I am a victim. I am a
victim. Oh cruel world. Oh vile men."
Anyway. The evening's viewing was not
entirely soured.
The Hubble programme was fantastic, and then
I watched a horror film called Descent, and was positively delighted to see six
feisty feminist-type womenfolk being bitten horribly to death and
partially devoured by a hidden tribe of gruesome flesh-eating zombies who dwelt
in dark caves.
Anti-Gay Comments Could Bring Seven Years In
Jail The Government is to make it a crime to incite hatred against gay people, Justice Secretary Jack Straw announced
tonight.
Last week a group of firemen who shone
their torches at four men engaged in illegal 'dogging' - outdoor sexual activity
with strangers - were demoted and fined £1,000 by their bosses after being
accused of being homophobic.
And yet they would probably have done the
same with their torches if the philanderers had been heterosexual.
And I also do not see why minority groups
should forever be being privileged compared to everyone else, i.e. compared to
'white heterosexual men'.
Mr Straw said: "It is a measure of how far we have come as a society in the last 10 years that we are now appalled by hatred and invective directed at people on the basis of their sexuality.
OK. OK. Fair enough. But why is it all
right for hatred and invective to be directed at 'men'? Surely, if
hatred and invective are bad things for people to experience, then they
are bad things for 'men' too!
So, why should 'men' not receive the same
protections, eh?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Well, I'll tell you!
The answer is - and I am determined to get
this into your heads, even if I have to bore you to death - is that there are many
groups that profit very handsomely from the stirring up of hatred
towards men.
And the government is one of them!
The government is one of the main
beneficiaries of man hatred.
And this is why the government will do
nothing to protect 'men' from all the "hatred and invective" that it
claims to be so concerned about.
And now, I am going to quote my good self on
this subject - it is part of a response to an email that I received - because I
think that the points that follow are important to grasp. ...
..................................................................
Most of these feminist 'wimmin' and their lackey boys - such as those
working at the BBC and, of course, lying female politicians like Harriet Harman
- will scream and holler at you if you so much as make the mildest of
criticisms against, say, blacks, Jews or gays. "By demonising them
you will incite violence against them," they will proclaim hotly.
In other words, they are firmly of the view that people can be incited
to violence against others merely by criticising them.
But they have no qualms at all about launching full campaigns of sheer
hatred against men that go well beyond simple criticism - doing almost
everything imaginable to portray - often very graphically - men as demons
of one sort or another.
In other words, they believe that even mild criticism can incite
violence against others, and yet they are perpetually demonising men in
the most horrible way!
Tell me. What can you conclude from this? - other than that they are purposely
and persistently trying to stir up violence against men!
There is no other realistic conclusion that you can come to!
Take it from me. These are really nasty people. And they are very much
your enemy. And they are doing virtually everything that they can to fu#k up your
life - and to profit from doing so.
Now, you might think that they do not, in fact, realise what they are
doing. But, they do. They know exactly what they are doing.
I can assure you that lofty professionals who work in the media, in the
government, in advertising, in long-time activist groups such as the NSPCC
and the various women's groups are very much aware of the impact that they
have on people. It is something that they obsess about all the time.
It is their business.
And, as I have pointed out, these people will mostly claim that even
the mildest of criticism can incite people to violence.
So, please, please, do not delude yourself into thinking that these
people are simply misguided.
They are not.
They are malicious. They are self-serving. And you are
their whipping boy. They do not give a toss about stirring up hatred or
violence towards 'men' - so long as they profit.
But they would not dream of doing this to other groups.
...................
Furthermore, not only do these people
demonise men, they actually lie about them, and they purposely exaggerate their
shortcomings with the specific intention of stirring up hatred
towards them.
Indeed, the government also knows full well
that it is 'men' who make up the vast majority of victims when it
comes to violence.
And yet it is 'men' whom the government goes
out of its way to demonise. And it is 'men' who are denied all the various
protections to do with 'hate and invective'!
And, take it from me, they know exactly what they are doing.
