Sir Bernard Jenkins standing up for women on IWD - and a bunch of female MPs failing to.

Bernard Jenkin seems rather pleased with his fan mail! He's tweeted this today: Following my speech on woman’s safe spaces/ « a woman is an adult female human » etc. … Lots of fan mail like this! Note this « on the left » person now votes Conservative.

@NitroNine tbh, as long as you're not throwing away food, or buying unnecessary PJs and chucking away old ones, the Baroness won't care what you're wearing. She only buys second hand clothes now.

I have long suspected that the MN FWR Sex and Gender Board is read by those who should be reading it and taking notice of it.

Had a talk with liberal conservative brother, who I think assumed I would be on the woke side. He was amazed that I could possibly agree with a right wing Brexiteer...which of course I don’t on everything except this. But he really cannot understand why so many women are betraying other women. I was also asked by a gay friend why women aren't standing up for ourselves. Strewth!

Surely it's late for cake? Hob nobs and a mug of cocoa maybe?

I've been icing chocolate chip biscuits with my little Peat Pot today, if that will do.

I caught the cat licking out the mixing bowl afterwards, but I'm not sure if that's a testimonial that will inspire your faith in our cooking.

Depends on the PJs really

If we have Titled Persons wandering amongst us should I be wearing fancier pyjamas?

Mystifyingly, Debrett’s is silent on this point.

Absolutely brilliant @EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn!

💜 I didn’t know, thanks Waterlego! How great that she’s reading the thread.

Great post OP. I saw this on Twitter for Justin Trudeau.

Can that really be true?

Those figures sound right to me, if he's quoting people charged. Looking at the ONS data (which is based on convictions):

2009-2012 0% of rapes were commited by women
2014-2017 1.2% of rapes were commited by women
2017-2020 1.7% of rapes were commited by women

I can't find the 2012-14 data. It's wading through spreadsheets on the ONS website, someone else may have more time.

That's probably averaging IRO 7 rapes of men and 15 rapes of women by 'women' each year in recent years. Since vastly more victims are women that's a very high percentage for men.

Keep in mind these are convictions, the real number of offences will be much higher.

I’m on my mobile so trying to trawl through would be… challenging… but Trans Crime UK keep a record of crimes committed by trans women in the UK from 2014 onwards: here are the rape & sexual assault convictions.

So far in 2022 5 trans women have been convicted of sexual offences.

It is of course important to bear in mind the enormous backlog in criminal courts, currently expected to be “a pervasive issue beyond 2024”.

It’s a horrifying number, but I think it unlikely Bernard Jenkin didn’t check those MOJ numbers and have them written down somewhere to refer to: he’ll be only too well aware he’d be pulled to pieces if he were to get it wrong.

Bernard Jenkin is reported as saying: “Now, between 2012 and 2018, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reports over 436 cases of rape recorded as committed by women. The penis is a male organ, so, these rapes are committed by men presenting themselves as women.”

Can that really be true?

It is actually possible for a woman to be charged with rape in the role of an accomplice but it's rare. So in a 7 year period were there really over 400 recorded rapes by TW? That is over one every week.

Here's another one.

It’s enraging, isn’t it, VestofAbsurdity: so deeply offensive for a group to claim vulnerability & victimhood quite literally by “identifying as” vulnerable people who are victims of dreadful hate [non-]crimes.

That tagging on to the LGB & exploiting the history of those groups; then insisting TWAW & quite literally colonising our spaces while protecting & preserving their own, naturally; influencing policy, legislation, media, public bodies & private companies (all the while exploiting the desperate situation of trans women in Brazil, for example, for their own benefit): VULNERABLE GROUPS DO NOT GET THESE OPPORTUNITIES!!!

Quite @NitroNine. This most vulnerable, most oppressed shit trope needs to be robustly challenged every single time it is trotted out.

Bother: half of the subset of them that’s in prison

So at 1424 Marion Fellows begins speaking; & her speech covers how much more vulnerable to domestic abuse disabled women are. With actual statistics & everything.

Presumably Wera Hobhouse was just having a little nap while she spoke, or perhaps is goldfishy of memory, because quite how she could otherwise have interrupted Bernard Jenkin to trot out: I just want to clarify this point. Because there are some predatory men who will always find loopholes for violence, is that a reason for not protecting the most vulnerable people that we have—that is, the transgender community? I honestly don’t know.

Jess Phillips began speaking at 1359, so the list of women murdered in the UK since IWD 2021 had been read, too. Wera Hobhouse had the absolute front to say - with family members of two of the women whose names were on that list sitting in the gallery! - that the trans community are “the most vulnerable people that we have”. A vulnerable population is not one made up of people more likely (in the UK) to murder than be murdered. If a group is vulnerable, the subset of them that’s in prison having been convicted of at least one sexual offence means either that safeguarding of said group has failed spectacularly or that they are not, in fact, more vulnerable let alone most vulnerable.

I read the transcript of the online conversations that tech journalist Peter Bright had with an undercover agent, when he was trying to get access to children to rape.

Hardly surprising that he wanted mixed-sex toilets. It's men like Peter Bright that search for footage on pornhub from cameras placed in toilets and changing rooms.
