A Biased BBC reader writes….
“A brief review of recent BBC coverage and any woman will be disheartened, dejected and disgusted. The Beeb, reinforcing the narrative of an evil patriarchy oppressing women, has been pumping out the “women as victims” stories, with examples from the last couple of weeks including…
· The shocking lack of women in film
· The shocking lack of women in fashion
· The shocking amount of period pain women suffer at work
· The shocking treatment of women forgotten by science
· The shocking number of women with their “lives are on hold”
· The shocking lack of housing for female prisoners upon release
· The shocking discrimination faced by Muslim women in Germany
· The shocking discrimination over pension changes
· The shocking news that young women at ‘highest mental health risk’
· The shocking news that women in Asia are “disposable”
· The shocking news that women a ‘distinct minority’ among highest-paid in the UK
· The shocking lack of equality in Chinese cinema
As with other “oppressed” demographics, the “victim narrative” has to run in parallel with the “propaganda narrative”. When an individual or group of individuals from an “oppressed” demographic do or does something wrong, they do not represent that said group. When they do something good, however, they do represent said group. Muslims are the usual recipients of this but the Beeb’s parallel coverage of women (which ranges from cringing to patronising) underscore this.
According to the BBC, women are awesome for:
· Striking against abortion bans
· Running a library for 25 years
· Helping run the world’s most southerly post office
· Competing with Kinshasa’s male sapeurs
· Getting elected to the Isle of Man’s House of Keys
· Completing all UK’s ‘Marilyn’ hills
You get the picture but now the juicy part. What happens when the Beeb’s coverage moves onto women in the Middle East…?
Bin-BBC starts off with the beacon of female empowerment, the hijab. Thousands of headscarves or hijabs have been collected for women in Syria, it gushes. However, further “propaganda” narrative pieces actually muddy the waters by using the “victim” agenda. For example, the BBC celebrates that Saudi women file petition to end male guardianship system, Iranian women defy Fatwas by riding bikes and Palestinian women fight elections name ‘censorship’, specifically literature used for the polls replaced the names of female candidates with “sister of…”, “wife of…” or just their initials.
All commendable initiatives as women look to overthrow genuine sexism in…Islamic countries! But wait, isn’t the BBC constantly telling us that Islam does not oppress women? The Beeb’s Islamaphilia agenda discredited by its feminist agenda.”
Difficult situation for AlBeeb, although I do not care about their discomfiture.
They cannot ride two different camels simultaneously.
So they change camels whenever it suits them, and hope nobody noticies their ambivalence.
Shocking lack of Muslim females objecting to their menfolk murdering all and sundry, shocking but not at all surprising.
Really shocking absence of white, non Muslim, females who condemn Islamic mass murder and invasion.
Liberals use ‘oppressed’ groups as a means to an end, and that end is the erosion of the European society. They see white, straight, Christian or secular men at the top and tgat will never change, so to that end they pander to whichever demographic is most likely to subjugate white men in any given area. This order is entirely interchangeable depending on the context, which is why you’ll see women thrown under the bus if they criticise Islam (the bigger threat to white patriarchy) and how gay men can suddenly go from victim to ‘privileged’ if they dare to be conservative.
The leftist position is one of hate and envy. The BBC are some of the worst perpetrators of all. And, like any good liberal outlet, they very rarely follow the standards they set for everyone else.
You could point this out to Helen Boaden via that famous email address she never read.
But she has also buggered off and left it to an ex Labour Minister about as qualified in the role as current Labour Shadow Ministers are in theirs.
It’s in their DNA.
In the real world cream rises to the top.
In the politico-media one, its an entirely different substance that oozes up and then festers in that position for ever.

Scum is, I believe, the positively buoyant substance to which you refer.
Firstly every single male on the face of this earth has either a mum, sister, wife, girlfriend, and/or daughter in their lives. In most cases they are and always will be the most important person in that males lives. The last thing any male would want is for that family member to be discriminated against in any way, particularly because of the amount of discrimination, and abuse white males for simply being born white males.
The only examples the sexist and hate filled feminists can come up with can be explained away by the facts that women simply make different life choices than males… Driven by the fact that women have evolved physically and emotionally different than men since the dawn of our creation, to protect and expand our species and allow human beings to succeed in the brutally harsh reality that is life.
There are men that believe women are inferior. There are women who believe men are inferior. There are sections of our groups of people who hate others and blame them for all their problems in life….. The only group in society that is completely ignored and disregarded by the hate baiting, grievance hustling, division creating donkeys on the left are white males! The only true discriminated against group in our society.

Quite true. And yet when the crunch comes as alpha Muslim men make a putsch to make the UK a sharia nation, it will not be women but men who will have to defend the community, and the nation. It was always thus, and will be so.
Man and women are complementary. Women complement men’s innate hardness, when it comes to viewing a threat to their domain. They are endowed with empathy.
But in the coming battle with Islam, which our stupid politicians have bequeathed future generations, it will be men dying on the fronts.
It’s really not about women/blacks/victims; it’s about THEM the Beeboids, signalling their virtue.
@DavidVance that is a very impressive list patronising women
And yesterday I was able to find a similar list
As within 8 hours on radio 4 there were 6 entire progs or items patronising “blacks”
(They need their own special history series, special edition of the film show, plaque for first black station master etc.)
Similar for gays/trans/migrants etc
Most of us don’t divide the world into women/blacks/gays etc. If you are a good comedian, good actor that’s all that counts.
But for Beeboids it’s a key opportunity for Virtue Signalling
BBC output is so Guardianlike “Look at me/us we really do care about these people”
Today’s sigh was “on no the UN didn’t choose a FEMALE new secretary general” ..when the one the Beeboids had in mind is actually one from Costa Rica’s most privileged Oligarch family, the Figueres.
Just like they champion privileged Hillary for US president.
I’m sorry about the period pain, but I just don’t get it, I do get back pain though from all the physical labour I have done to support you for the last 40 years.
Men’s welfare is being discussed on Radio 5 Live right now
They are discussing young male suicides…the number of deaths is much more than for females.
This is the first men’s welfare issue discussed for ages, whereas BBC has special progs about women all the time.
BBC webnews has 100 new virtue signal pages everyday
…What happened to the idea that BBC Online news was going to cut back,
to economise
and to stop crowding out commercial news orgs like newspapers ?
BBC going large on the travails of women in politics at the moment.
It will be interesting how much the experiences of such as Mimi Alford or Tracey Temple will feature in their coverage.
Or the Dame Rose inquiry.
I have a question about the ‘headscarves and hijabs for Syria’ item.
Do Syrian women in general have to wear these items or is the collection targeted for the, currently being, ethnically cleansed areas that are terrorist/US government ‘controlled’?
I only ask as I always thought that Assad’s Syria was a pretty harmonious soup of people in general, certainly when compared to other Islamic beauty spots.

They are from tyhe Muslim Brotherhood area. Thses are the people who wouild have killed asx the Christians, Yazidis, Kurds and other minorities, in the most gruesome way, as the Koran require.
That is why we don’t see many Christians or Yazidis in the West. They have learned from hard experience, that they are safer with Assad in Syria, then in Europe or the USA.
As a note, they are safer in Hungary, Slovakia etc. These countries have agreed to take Christians from Syria, thus angering the EU.
Sorry. Double posting by accident.
“Australia on high alert is intensifying as costumed creeps menace victims with machetes”
Surely those idiots responsible for this global terrorism are those who voted Brexit!
Costumed creeps with machetes…..
There’s something new then. Or at least the description. We’ve had the standard variety for a while now and they’re never described as the headline puts it.
Same just reported on Sky news about “Clowns” in Gloucestershire, Going around scaring children.
HMM
Still, an improvement on Fred and Rose by any measure.
Stew, Hi.
I believe I got this exact headline from an Australian newspaper which predicts the UK clowns will no doubt copy! No doubt the, BBC will love it if they could associate these headlines in any way to Brexit voters!
To further enhance the ’cause’ Beeb stalwart Jenni Murray has just published this..
