Yup. Who would have anticipated that punching down males over the minority of assholes that behaved very badly around others, especially females, would give power to so many of the bigger assholes that happened to be females?

I think the focus on gender is not helpful here. The issue is power, in politics, in high pressured environments - people with power are, or can become, dominant, insensitive, bullies - and they may not know this. Just doing what they have to survive the environment . Both male and female. I think the issue is the culture not the gender of the person.

All I can say is that in my career, women worked hard to prevent me to advance. The men were a lot more supportive. I succeeded, but women could’ve helped me. I have to say that the next generation of women were much more collaborative and helpful to each other, but I was born in 1950 and I didn’t get any help from women in my career. In fact, they tried to undermine me.

Duh! Ask any woman who worked in nursing in the last 80 years. Everybody wanted to be a supervisor so they could treat others as they had been treated, it seemed. In fact I was told as much by a supervisor.

I have worked for two companies owned and run by women. They were, hands down, the most toxic environments I’ve experienced in my professional career.

Absolutely awesome! Thank you Bettina and Fiona!! it's given me tools and insights into dealing with a bullying (psycho) neighbour. I just ordered David Gillespie's book: Taming Toxic People. Listening to the YouTube preview was very helpful. I'll be in touch if I need further guidance. Many thanks. You're both doing God's work!

You have not mentioned the effect of senior women executives on the running of a business. I have seen recently the result of some economic research. It found that the vast majority of companies run by women CEO's perform less profitably than those run by men. If it is said that these women were given roles in less profitable companies, it also found that for the majority of the firms run by women, three years after gaining a female CEO, the firm's performance was inferior to the time when they became CEO.

This report has not been published. But the top of a major consulting firm jokingly said "Maybe the best way to improve a firm's performance is to appoint a male CEO"!

Jordan Petersen had a lot to say about feminists complaining that women are not being promoted to the CEOs of big companies . The “ glass ceiling” , women were deliberately blocked from advancing just because they were women, proof was offered by the fact that of the top 100 companies only 5 had women CEOs .This just proved that women were not blocked but that only 5% of women had the talent and drive to succeed .

Now with DEI women are being parachuted into top positions in all areas from private enterprise to parliament , and the results are showing as you said in reduced company performances , and incompetence in government . But we must not mention the fact that women can be incompetent , it might hurt their feelings which must be protected at all cost.

There are thousands of women in business and government with stories like this. I've been collecting them for years. Good job, Bettina.

It's great to hear what Dr Fiona Gurkin has moved on from what happened to her. Dare I say it was a blessing in disguise??? The police force misses out, but she is probably in a far better position to help others than in academia.

Feminism is not about equality

It is an ideology based on nothing but hatred of men and boys and is really all about power and SPECIAL STATUS FOR WOMEN IN ALL THINGS

Feminism is the largest hate movement the world has ever seen

They hate 1/2 of world’s entire population

Back in 2003 I got a job in Child Welfare (Abuse, Neglect and Foster Care). The day I was hired the head of the clerical staff said "Thank God you have come" i asked why. She told me that having a man in the office was sure to reduce fighting in the all female office. It was her idea that my mere presence as a man would reduce squabbling among the women.

I had a PhD supervisor who did feminist research. When my research direction began to diverge from her, she unleashed, accusing me of all sorts of things. Poor work ethic, not having earned my awards and scholarships, others in the department thought I was disrespectful, effectively taking credit for all my work. I'm sure there was some level of her influencing and strategising behind the scenes as her student. Still, I'd never experienced that level of viciousness from any man at any point in my studies. It was very clear she wanted to shame and undermine me and isolate me. It was an eye-opening experience during my move away from feminism.

It would seem to me that we are attacking the wrongs targets here.

The feminist cause is Marxist in its goals. As such, the aim is to destabilise the established order so they can become the Messianic saviours for us all once this has been achieved and to introduce their new utopian form of governance.

These bully girls and organizations involved are just the useful idiots to help create and enforce the code of silence and compliance that helps to pave the way, rather like Germany's Brownshirts did back in the 30s.

What they do not seem to realise is that they will be tossed into the tarpits with all the other Untermensch when the goal is completed, as they will now be deemed a threat to the new order (and some individuals) and need to be disposed of.

Whilst all these girls are playing this game, their dear leaders will be working away in the background largely unnoticed. Useful idiots providing useful distractions. For now.

These bully girls' positions will be replaced with those whose are the loyal lieutenants and people who are owed favours and these people will be far worse than their predecessors.

The kangaroo courts are pretty much well set up now. Due process removal and evidence restrictions are already in place in some courts now as we are witnessing. Family Law, DV and Rape cases for instance.

I could go on. Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, 1984 and Animal Farm tells the story far better than I can. One would have to be pretty blind not to see what is going on. We are already entering the age of silent compliance.

In a nutshell, it is just history repeating itself yet again.
