[1] For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, [2] the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, [3] the captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
[4] And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. [5] And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
So in evil times the Lord removes the mighty men and everyone oppresses their neighbors. The old ways forsaken and rebuked.
Isaiah 3:11-12 KJV
[11] Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. [12] As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Boss babes and oppressive prideful children monopolizing society. It will feel like a curse but it
is a warning. It comes before the end. Perilous times are upon us. Men will do well to turn to Christ and stay clear of women.
When everything is out of order, start with the first thing before fixing the second.

[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
I suspect WA's state governor is not really a man - probably a guy who had his birth certificate 'adjusted' to 'female', the needed qualification for such an important office.
The current controversy over the Labor senator , a Muslim woman is worth a comment on the subject of Women in Power.
This woman is a devout Muslim that’s obvious , but she must also be a Feminist , because there is no way a woman could get to her level in the Labor Party if she was not a dyed in the wool feminist.
This raises the question of the rocky relationship between Feminism and Islam. They have a common enemy in white Western men and feminists have played this to their advantage wherever possible, downplaying or ignoring the hypocrisy .
You realize Bettina that you've become a legend. Your dad's Wiki entry is fascinating. You're not Jews but he had to quit Germany, on to the UK and thence to Australia. Was he regarded a Lefty, like Joachim's dad ( editor of the Frankfurter A. )?
The saddest thing about the corrupt selection of women into the QLD police force over men, is that just a few years later QLD is now facing a street crime epidemic and has the worst crime in Australia! It is the main story in this state. We also have a shortage of police on the beat. Remarkably, no media ever makes the obvious connection between the selection of inferior female candidates, who are particularly ineffective against street thugs, and the explosion in youth street crime.
Story 30th June on 60 Mins. Amelia Adams spoke to Eryk Bagshore about the laws in Japan which allow Women to claim sole custody of child/children. Both made statements that said Australian laws were different & allowed joint custody. I am flabergasted that journalists make such ill informed statements, and even Penny Wong said it would be bad for fathers to be forced out of children’s lives. Yet Australia passed a law giving fathers less custody this year! Every time Bettina publishes an article there are replies about The Family Court denying fathers joint custody. Mothers with highly paid lawyers forcing fathers to only see a child under supervision. Mothers refusing fathers to have children/ child visit “if the place the father lived was not satisfactory” Even the fathers solicitor forced him to accept supervised visits “to see his kid” So many fathers suicide yearly, yet Amelia Adams and Eryk Bagshore sit and say that fathers in Australia are better off? Some mothers will not share custody. Some mothers have claimed ALL property in their name. Such men are fighting to prove the wife lied to police, lied to bank to achieve fraud, fighting to afford to eat, let alone pay for legal advice. Do you think this would happen to a stay at home woman? I know it wouldn’t!
Japan is a country controlled by the US ,has been since it’s defeat in WW2, so no surprise it is copying Western ways. The Duluth model is mentioned often , this is an American idea which was forced onto Australians ,and Japan too it seems.
Sixty Minutes is an American program ,part of the MSM which always takes the feminist point of view and now there are many more female journalists .
Ken I was making the point that it is not shared custody in Australia. That 2 journalists and Penny Wong (Fed Parliament) are not aware of how bad our system is for some men. They of all people could help change things.
I know what you mean ,why do these women think there is shared custody when clearly this is not the case and the new laws make it worse . Feminist brainwashing, the subjects are trained to deny reality , and believe what they are told even when the evidence shows the opposite .
I am sure that these journalists are not interested in as you say “how bad the system is for men” , they’ve been trained to think men have all the privileges ,and that only women can be victims of injustice .
And for Ms Wong to say such a thing as fathers should not be forced out of their children’s lives , she’s a politician and will pay lip service to any cause where there might be votes , it is worth taking her to task on that point , the Greens might see the wind of change and support mens issues , stranger things have happened .
An illuminating post, Bettina, for which thanks. Not the least of the merits of you work is the strong string of comments you inspire in your thoughtful, concerned, and articulate readers. It heartening to see this evidence of your impact. Safety over freedom--let mom tell you what is good for you, these ladies say, and now eat your spinach.
Who does this woman think she is ? . It’s offensive to native born Australians to have immigrant upstarts try to tell us what we can or cannot see. Censorship has always been controversial abut this is just Marxist nanny state suppression of peoples right to decide for themselves .
Karen Webb isn't the only remaining female police commissioner. Donna Adams is Tasmania's police commissioner. She has certainly done her time in the force and seems well respected, but there is no doubt that she owes her current position to her sex. Tasmania Police has been discriminating in favour of female recruits for years so I will never give a female police officer so much as the time of day.
Any nation or organisation that replaces meritocracy with ideology, in this case elitist misandry, is asking for trouble.
Radical ideologues with their toxic junk philosophies take over. Corrupt grifters see the opportunity and exploit the situation for $$$, fame and/or power.
Misandry is one of the core 'luxury beliefs' that our elites use to grift. Have a look at the photos Bettina posted - have you noticed that these women are almost all white, rich and privileged?
They belong to the elite. The elite in western societies enriches and protects its own.
The capture of Australian institutions and society by these people is a disaster.
The ridiculous imbalance in the organisations that Bettina points out is now entrenched in elitist organisations, across the country.
Elitist philosophies are all based on lies and hypocrisy. You see it constantly these days in the west including Australia - the drum beat of 'diversity' bangs on and on, but in reality there's no diversity at all - everyone thinks exactly the same way, and promotion is based on DEI which requires strict conformity with elite ideology.
As a result, the organisation or nation is eventually run by credentialed idiots (most of these people are utter imbeciles) who in reality don't know what they're doing - their incompetence leads to the place losing it's purpose and moorings, and ends up destroying itself.
We must of course point out how absurd and hypocritical these elitist women are. It's very important to make fun of them, mainly because they deserve it and it's always a laugh to expose them as the shallow malign narcissists they truly are.
It's also important to be realistic. They are entrenched not just because we let them take power, but because the conditions existed that allowed them to.
I am however optimistic. I think we are seeing these elites at the apex of their power, just before a dramatic decline.
What I mean is that it's all fun and games for these ideologues and grifters, until it's not. The conditions that allowed them to rise - and that sustain them - won't last forever.
What are those conditions? Mostly, a lazy, distracted population that has enjoyed wealth and the good times for so long, that it doesn't really care about these ideologues and their stupid games.
Also the ability of major organisations to gorge themselves on cheap debt, and to take advantage of Australia's lack of competition (eg the banks) and governance, to fleece the population (again, the banks).
Well, the good times are coming to an end for 99% of Australians. For many, they've already ended. And they're coming to an end for the.major institutions that fuel elitist ideologies, too.
Australia is heading into very uncertain times. Our economy is in terrible, terrible shape and is declining. In geopolitical terms, the West is weakening and must manage the rise of great powers. Only very well run organisations and governments, led and managed by highly competent individuals, will thrive in these new conditions.
Organisations that allow DEI hires to remain in decision making positions will simply collapse. Governments, also - for example, western governments are going to have to abandon the global warming hoax & recommit to fossil fuels, or they'll be booted out.
A new austerity is coming and with that, a population that will be far less accommodating of these elitist ideologues, whether they be rich, white, misandrist women or net zero fanatics (but I repeat myself).
These new conditions means that Australia will need quality people back in charge again. Australians will demand a return to meritocracy, as it simply won't be able to afford the 'luxury beliefs' that these scoundrels have somehow managed to grift off for decades.
All this is going to happen, and sooner than people think. As it does, this elite crowd and their house of junk philosophies will be exposed and will crumble into dust. Guaranteed.
Janice Fiamengo hits the nail on the head , fear is the driving force of these women in power , they have an obsession with “safety” and will abandon all principles of freedom and liberty to keep everybody “safe” .
But who said “ those who would surrender their liberty for security deserve neither “ ? A great American statesman who understood the need to take risks and push boundaries to build a strong prosperous nation. These things are forgotten in the hedonistic society of today.
“Women on Top” I am totally in agreement with your assessment. However, I find that having the woman on top sometimes hurts my back and her hair gets in my mouth.
A girl I admired at school became a Judge, and I'm sure a good one. However there is an element of narcissism in females, self preservation to protect the next generation. The only justification for holding public positions is what you do for others, certainly not because of ego.
Feminism is influenced by socialism. The problem with socialism is it is based on envy and hate. Socialism divides a continuum into two opposites. Its always blame the other side. Socialism is like a religion, they have a mission which everything must be subservient to. Disagreement cannot be tolerated.
Great article Bettina. You raise issues which no one has the courage to.
It is becoming rather obvious that feminism has nothing to do with equality. It never really did.
It is simply a hostile takeover movement that is all about pushing males to the bottom of the heap.
Once they have achieved that, I'd be a cynically happy spectator observing these women rooting at the pig trough for anything that's left for them as they fight each other tooth and nail for their bit of power that they feel they are entitled to.
Just looking at the examples shown in this article and many others not shown here are just making the whole thing glaringly obvious.
What is a worrying trend is how they are taking over the legal system like every despotic ruler does to ensure absolute control.

I am quite convinced that none of them will make decent judges.
Or that any of them will have an ounce of fairness

"Her crazy overreach even prompted a song encouraging a fightback. Have a look here..."
Perhaps the most frightening words I've ever heard...
"...to really regulate the amount of content the Australians can see."
Who does this woman think she is ? . It’s offensive to native born Australians to have immigrant upstarts try to tell us what we can or cannot see. Censorship has always been controversial abut this is just Marxist nanny state suppression of peoples right to decide for themselves .
