Significant service

Oh yay, an award for service to gender equity.

Activist and author Bettina Arndt, who has dedicated the latter part of her career to what she sees as the unfair treatment of men in today’s society, has received an Australia Day honour for her work.

In a decision certain to outrage feminists and other community members, Ms Arndt was admitted as a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for her “significant service to the community as a social commentator, and to gender equity through advocacy for men”.

Oh that kind of “equity.” The way a white person would be providing significant service to racial equity through advocacy for white people.

The citation for her honour mentions her 2018 campus speaking tour, which was called the “Fake Rape Crisis” tour, as well as her contributions to controversial academic Jordan Peterson’s website Thinkspot.

Yes we definitely need more people saying all rape allegations are false.

Ms Arndt said she did not expect the award to silence or mollify her critics, but it would make her supporters “rather happy” to see an alternative point of view receive the imprimatur of official recognition.

Indeed. Let’s also hear the “Genocide is Good” point of view and the “What’s All the Fuss About Slavery?” point of view and the “unskilled workers are lucky to get any pay at all” point of view. The world is in imminent danger of becoming too progressive.

She also said programs to combat domestic violence unjustly demonised men – despite men overwhelmingly being the perpetrators.

That’s because women are so annoying, don’t you get it?

Ms Arndt said the link between misogyny and domestic violence applied only in “deeply misogynist” countries, naming Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia as examples.

She claimed there was no evidence of such a link in “egalitarian societies” such as Australia, the United States and Britain.

Well I guess if you live in a cell with no access to any form of media you could be unaware of the evidence…
