Feminism Keeps Women on the Lower Rungs of the Jobs Ladder

Feminism Keeps Women on the Lower Rungs of the Jobs Ladder

1/3/00
Women often complain that men do not seem to want to work too closely with them. Margaret Beckett, for example, is quoted as saying, "I think there have been times in my career when I have suffered from being female."

Well, putting in simply, while some women continue to get away with being so easily ‘offended’ by men, it is too dangerous for men to have women too close to them at work. For example, men can be accused of sexual harassment without much in the way of cause. I remember one woman on John Stapleton’s show boasting how, over the past few years, three men had lost their jobs after she had reported them for sexual harassment. Three of them! One of these had been an ambulance driver who lost his job after 20 years of service. With women like this about, and with the law so perversely anti-male, it is hardly surprising that men steer clear of women, particularly high-powered, aggressive women.

Many women also seem to get very high monetary rewards for extremely petty incidents. Wasn’t it just recently that a female doctor accidentally pricked herself with a needle and claimed that she could not face the work any longer? She was awarded half a million pounds as compensation! Who wants to employ a woman who can do this?

And with the rewards also ridiculously high for alleging abuse, sex discrimination, or sexual harassment, some women are going to lie and exaggerate, or simply threaten to do these things, in order to gain power or wealth. This sort of thing is not conducive to developing trust between the sexes, and it doesn’t surprise me, therefore, to find that men are keeping clear of women in the workplace.

The pervasive and perverse feminist ideology that actually makes this country stink with the overt hatred that it constantly encourages against men is another reason why worthy women like Ms Beckett will find that men will shun them, and why they will never win their battle for what they claim is ‘equality’. Too many women are just too easily offended.

An example of this can be seen in an article written by Susan Bassnett (The Independent 8/4/99). She is Pro-vice-chancellor of the University of Warwick (home also to Germaine Greer) and in her article she bemoans the fact that there are too few women in high positions in the academic world. She says, "Everywhere I turn there are examples of glaring inequality: the minute percentage of women professors, the even smaller percentage of senior women in administration ... "

But look at the way Ms Basnett reacts to a man who appears to show some sympathy. Here is what she tells us about one meeting that she attended where she was the only female present.

< size="2" color="#FF0000">‘Speak for yourself,’ I retorted."

Goodness me! Is this a pleasant reply for Ms Bassnett to have given to a man who appeared to be concerned about the very same issues of equality as herself? I don't think so. In fact, this is just the kind of unprovoked hostility that demonstrates to men why it is not worthwhile bothering about women who still moan about ‘equality’.

The chairman was obviously not rewarded for his concern, but rebuffed, and so it wouldn’t surprise me if, thereafter, he decided that, well, maybe, the issue of women in higher places would not concern him any longer.

If people want to stay in my house and I open the door to welcome them in, how long am I going to put up with them if they continue to attack me and make false and wild allegations against me? Not long is the answer. They’ll be out on their ears pretty quickly. And this is what men are doing to women; they’re shunning them, because any woman at any time can make any false allegation against a man, even from 20 years in the past, and they can completely destroy a man’s career and well-being. This is an extremely unpleasant, distasteful and thoroughly disgusting thing that some women do, and which all women can do. So, why should men risk their entire futures just in order to help women ‘up the ladder’ when, by doing so, they bring about these appalling risks for themselves? Who can be surprised that women are being shunned?

And women have brought this upon themselves for they are the ones who have arranged matters in such a way that they, or any other woman, can destroy any man’s reputation, his career, his marriage, or even his life, by just picking up the phone and making an accusation. Whether the allegation is true or not makes little difference to the outcome for the man, the effect is pretty much the same. Who wants women like this in their midst?
