Coming for the boys

Naturally our compliant media dutifully trots out the latest feminist talking points rather than asking the hard questions. Like are these claims credible? Are they arguments based on research or advocacy founded in ideology?

Let's return briefly to the Meger research used to support the latest claims about misogyny and violent extremism. What we didn't hear about is the fact that this study also found more than a quarter of the teenage girls surveyed expressed misogynist views about women and girls – "minimising violence, excusing perpetrators and mistrusting their own gender." That's according to the Victorian Commissioner for Gender Equality the Public Sector, Dr Niki Vincent, who wrote about the unpublished study on her LinkedIn page. As I mentioned, this latest round of the Meger research is not yet published but presumably Vincent had access to the data as part of the DV elite.

So how is it possible that so many girls were lured to the dark side? Well, look at the inane questions included in the Megel project:

Sometimes a woman can make a man so angry that he hits her when he didn't mean to.

Women often make sexual assault accusations as a way of getting back at men.

Women going through custody battles often make up or exaggerate claims of domestic violence.

It is easy to see why so many girls as well as boys would agree with these often factual statements.

Funnily enough the survey also includes questions clearly targeting the Muslim community:

A man should be able to have more than one wife but a woman should not have more than one husband.

Unsurprisingly there's been no mention of the response of different ethnic groups to this survey. That's the great irony. The ethnic groups most likely to score highly on these misogyny scales are precisely the same Islamic groups which have produced individuals who do pose a terrorist threat. But no one is talking about that.

There's a New Zealand psychologist blogging on Substack as Backcountry Psychology who is doing a great job meticulously exposing this mountain of feminist "scholarship" denigrating men. Research he describes as "full of unjustified assumptions and invalid measurement, weak manipulations, or suspicious analysis" - all being used to support "all sorts of theories and claims about masculinity, patriarchy, aggression, gender norms."

Backcountry Psychology is very concerned that these deceptive studies are being used to justify re-education of children:

The problem is that certain progressive people read shallow articles like this and then actually call for (and vote for) unnecessary interventions in schools and broad societal restructuring-all based on pretty shoddy research.

Almost the entire field is run by ideologues with clear bias. It's a house of cards. A progressive propaganda machine designed only to advance a certain orthodox worldview.

And right now, boys are in the crosshairs – a very convenient distraction from the real threat of violent extremism, and clever means of avoiding proper discussion about Islamic extremists who pose such a danger to this country.
