Only yesterday the site highlighted Tom Martin's latest campaign update when it was discovered that a mysterious new organisation called the Astell Project is campaigning to have Women and Gender Studies placed on the national curriculum. They have an e-petition submitted by Fawcett Society member,Triona Kennedy, who actually believes that England's schools are failing girls. She presented her case at a recent Fawcett members' day.
We could go on forever about the fact this is just another example of the war on men and boys and to brainwash boys into thinking they are bad and girls are good. Having it on the national curriculum would serve as a Marxist feminist reminder to boys that they will all physically abuse women, stop them getting on in life and when they boys grow up and become fathers they should not play a part in their child's life. All this while Triona and her friends rub their faces in the fact that so many more girls get better results than boys etc.
The point of raising it here is to highlight the onslaught on many fronts boys are under and that Marxist feminists like Triona Kennedy feel empowered to come out with some misandry (only 100 signed up for the e-petition though). The anti-male climate created by governments, the BBC/Guardian etc mean that Ms Kennedy feels it is perfectly reasonable to ask the question. The organisation was found because the epetition was being promoted on a Women's Aid newsletter sent to this site.
It also shows why Tom Martin's campaign is so important because Ms Kennedy claims it is 'women and gender' studies, when we know she is talking about 'women and women' studies - the only studying about men on her course would be how evil we men are.

Need a taste of 21st Century radical feminism?
http://radicalhub.wordpress.cm/2011/10/04/radical-feminism-in-the-21st-century is a site with some pretty scary stuff, some of which calls for infanticide, gendercide and "biological solutions" to the "male problem".
If any of you harbour any illusions as to the true nature of femimism, well here's something to chew over.
Perhaps this is the type of "women's studies" the Fawcett Soviety has in mind...

In fact they need not campaign. Under the umbrella of the Violence Against Women and Girls strategy schools are already teaching such stuf from materiels supplied by Womensaid.

The year is 2062. The headline of the day: Women deny men the Vote. Many a true word spoken in jest...

Oops, the link I posted is no good. My mistake. Try this - http://radicalhub.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/radical-feminism-in-the-21st-century/
Are they radicals? Absolutely. But how far removed from 'mainstream' feminist movement are they? Makes you wonder eh?

Groan - excellent point
John Wallace - men are effectively barred form being MPs in certain Labour safe seats already.
I say that if gender studies is to be introduced lets lobby for Mr Martin to design the curriculum and present classes. Watch his video to see why he'd be the best person for the job.

I think all boys should be worried for this campaign because they love as they are :)

Education is the biggest factor to change and groom the personality otherwise we all are evils from inner.
