The Feminist-dominated media (in New Zealand, most journalists are
female, and most females and males are Feminists) has long claimed that
professional journalists can be trusted more than bloggers and other
internet individuals, because journalists set and are held to higher
standards. Consider this excerpt from an article (dressed up as an interview)
about French Presidential candidate Segolene Royal:
"Has Royal faced much overt sexism?
....
But sexism is nothing new to to Royal, whose father didn't want
his three daughters educated on the grounds that girls were destined
for obedience and motherhood.
Fruitcake!..."
(by Linley Boniface, Dominion Post, November 25, 2006)
Journalist Linley Boniface, together with the subeditors and editor
of the Dominion Post, obviously think that to respond to a
patriarchal approach to female education with just one single, slangy,
pejorative word meets the high journalistic standards which make their
newspaper worth paying money for, and superior to what is available
on the internet for free.
Apart from research on the human brain,
the one thing that demonstrates that Segolene Royal's father was right
about educating females is the way that women perform when they hold
down jobs. The same mentality which allows Equal
Employment Opportunities (EEO) and Affirmative
Action programmes to exist continues to operate to shield women
from the need to perform to male standards. Organised Feminist political
activism is what got women employed over the
heads of more able men, and organised Feminist political activism
in the workplace continues to ensure that women are not forced to perform
to the same standards as men. That is why "Fruitcake!"
is considered competent journalism, when written by a woman.
Of course, not only are such women often incompetent -- they are also
often biased against men. The same issue of the Dominion Post
also ran an article about New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark: Ten
things she'll be remembered for. The last of these ten things was
Promoting women, including Dame Silvia Cartwright as
governor-general, Sian Elias as chief justice and Margaret Wilson as
attorney-general and (later) Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The article also states that she had instructed officials to appoint
more women to government boards. Obviously, if Helen Clark, who probably
had her career boosted by EEO and/or Affirmative Action at one or more
points, has had a policy of appointing women, this must have been at
the expense of more competent men who would have been appointed if she
hadn't had this policy. So, not only do we now have (by definition)
second-rate people in those positions, but the more able (male) candidates
have been discriminated against.
It is possible that women such as Dame Sian Elias would have got her
position anyway in a free and fair competition with male candidates,
but we will never know. Female judges have used their positions to bias
the justice system against men by teaching other
judges the Mickey-Mouse notion of "Gender Equity"
through the Institute of Judicial Studies, where it was introduced
in an undemocratic and unintellectual manner. Dame Silvia
Cartwright, who had previously been, and is now again a judge, was so
incompetent as governor-general that she did not even know her own job-description
(see Former Prime Minister
Endorses Criticism of Former Governor-General ). She also
demonstrated apparent bias by celebrating with the victorious Feminists
at the end of the inquiry into cervical cancer which she presided over.
And Margaret Wilson has been accused of bias by opposition Members of
Parliament.
The same issue of the Dominion Post quoted National Party
MP Bill English as saying about his colleague Judith Collins:
"She has spent time cultivating the media 'and believing
the resultant publicity.'"
Given the female and Feminist domination of the media, we have been
encouraged to have a higher opinion of female politicians, including
Judith Collins and Helen Clark, than they probably merit. In fact, we
do not really have a functioning democracy, when most of the media are
in effect Helen Clark supporters -- supporters of any women against
any men. No one doubts that women outnumber men in the electorate, but
it should not be numbers which decide who gets what jobs. It should
be a matter of merit. In the long run, democracy
cannot survive the presence in powerful positions of Linley Boniface
and other such Feminist "Fruitcakes".
