As the recession starts to bite and employment becomes tougher, Harriet Harman will be cementing the plans for her single Equality Bill which will allow employers to discriminate against men when it comes to recruiting people to the workforce.
Following on from comments made by Trevor Phillips who declared that such discrimination will provide extra support for the BNP because it will be the white-working class that will be discriminated against, an academic has also hit out at the plans.
Writing for Public Policy Review and covered here (Telegraph), Dr Catherine Hakim, believes that men will become the new victims of sex discrimination if workplace equality laws are strengthened further.
The Telegraph article quotes that she accuses 'feminists of peddling "myths" about the extra hours put in by women and their thwarted career ambitions to justify "futile and perverse" attempts to help them balance work and family life'.
This is important article for a number of reasons:-
Firstly, it is a woman defending men and the Fawcett Society et al cannot deal with it. She understands that the motivation behind this equality law is not equality but a way of legally discriminating against men. If a man is discriminated against it is his wife/aprtner, mother, sister and daughters who will also be discriminated aagainst.
Secondly, it ignores the facts that women are now more great inroads into what would traditionally be termed male occupations. This investigation in the Telegraphshows for example that 61% of trainee GPs are women, 63% of students enrolled into the law society are women and 79% of vets are women. What more help do women need.
Thirdly, Marxist anti-male feminists such as Harriet Harman are hell-bent on destroying men. When boys are seven years behind girls at school (the outcome of which is highlighted in the above), it is men that need help. If this carries on then Harman and her friends will have succeeded.
'If this carries on then Harman and her friends will have succeeded.'
Hey, don't say that, RightsOf Man Editor, you'll just give them encouragement! ;)
Main problem I'm dwelling on at the moment: how to shame the B.B.C. out of its tendency to give political support/succour to Fawcett. It's a clear breach of the Charter. I believe if the public could see the problem for what it was, they'd insist on change immediately, since it's most definetly NOT what most of them pay their license fee for.

Actually, just heard News 24 on the subject of the producer for the Russell Brand Show also working for an independent production company, which presented a 'cler conflict of interests.'
B.B.C. Exec said it was a terrible mistake and 'won't happen again.'
So the Beeb is going to avoid ALL serious conflicts of interest from now on. Interesting ... :)

The Harman proposals should be opposed because they are the first time direct and overt discrimination will become quite legal. As Trevor Phillips himself points out this is a two edged sword even for the PC brigade and after centuries of moving away from direct discrimination (against Catholics and so on) it is an amazingly dangerous development. Hence the struggle Hatty is having pushing it through. Do whatever you can to stop it not just for men but any unpopular group in the future.
