Men are the world\u2019s problem.\u00a0 We men should seriously consider getting in touch with our feminine side \u2013 whatever that means \u2013 and taking the process to its logical solution.<\/h2>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Let me start by saying that I support transgender rights.\u00a0 A recent exhibition in Liverpool about <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/April_Ashley\">April Ashley<\/a> is a real education in transgender issues.\u00a0 Her life story is an excellent demonstration of human dignity and perseverance against tremendous odds.\u00a0 April Ashley, we salute you!<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>However, to make the suggestion that the solution to gender and transgender rights is to let boys become girls is another matter entirely.\u00a0 Caitlyn Marie Jenner Kardashian (formally known as Bruce Jenner, father, grandfather, Olympic gold medallist), had this to say after she had gone through her transition, \u201cthis is the new normal.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a bit like Michael Jackson (may he rest in peace) pointing to his butchered face and his bleached skin and saying the same thing.\u00a0 If women could experience the world as men experience the world, would they want it?\u00a0 I doubt it.\u00a0 So let us follow Grace Dent\u2019s argument towards its logical conclusion.\u00a0 Let boys be girls? Then let girls be boys.\u00a0 Let us imagine what such a world might look like<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5584\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/01\/01192933\/Caitlyn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/01\/01192933\/Caitlyn.jpg 220w, https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/01\/01192933\/Caitlyn-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caitlyn Marie Jenner Kardashian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>When a baby is born, the father has the automatic right by law to put his name on the birth certificate.\u00a0 If the parents are not married, then it is up to the <em>discretion<\/em> <em>of the father <\/em>whether or not to have the mother\u2019s name on the birth certificate of their child.<\/h2>\n<h2>Let baby girls get the circumcision operation for free on the NHS.\u00a0 It is legal to practice genital mutilation on a vulnerable baby.\u00a0 After all, the bible says, \u201cAbraham circumcised his daughter when she was eight days old as God commanded him\u201d and as a result, Jews, Christians and Muslims have practiced this form of child abuse for a very long time.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Mothers are the main breadwinners in every family. After giving birth, encourage all mothers to go back to work as soon as possible.\u00a0 Let the mothers work <em>outside<\/em> the home, preferably 40-80 hours per week.\u00a0 Break the bond between mother and child due to pressures of work.\u00a0 Leave all the childcare to the stay-at-home father.\u00a0 Instead of giving girls dolls and make-up to play with, give them footballs and boxing gloves.\u00a0 Girls that want to play dressing up, call them useless and worthless.<\/h2>\n<h2>There is no deadline for fathering, and that means keep females infantile.\u00a0 Don\u2019t teach girls how to cook, or clean, or work, or manage money.\u00a0 As a consequence, the U.K. average age for women leaving home is 25 years old; the average age in Northern cities such as Liverpool is around 50.\u00a0 The women may have babies with various men, but they choose to stay at home living with their parents; their hearts belong to daddy.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>A third of modern marriages ends in divorce.\u00a0 If the couple should divorce, give automatic parental rights to the father.\u00a0 If the mother complains about lack of parental access to her own children, tell her to start paying more cash.\u00a0 Threaten her with prison if she doesn\u2019t keep up with her contribution to the family funds.\u00a0 If the mother complains that she cannot afford this, tell her that the father can get extra income from the government.\u00a0 Now that the divorce is final, he is at liberty to find himself a more satisfying mate, as well as the financial needs of the children.<\/h2>\n<h2>Nearly a third of children grow up without their biological mother.\u00a0 For black families, the statistic is even higher \u2013 around three quarters of children grow up without their biological mother. After just one year of separation from the father of their children, a third of mothers have no further contact with their children. The majority of inner city families are motherless.\u00a0 There you will find the highest level of gang culture, crime, addiction to drink, drugs, gambling, pornography, and mental illness and suicide rates for females. Worldwide, notice how within a couple of generations, motherless communities are considered perfectly natural and normal.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Protect children from lesbians.\u00a0 Actively discourage public displays of affection between women. Organise the entertainment industry (music, films, television, advertising, internet, etc.) so that it never depicts women cooperating and kissing each other, but always depicts women competing and killing other women. Ban women-only groups and institutions by encouraging mixed gender activities at all costs and at all times.\u00a0 Make all public toilets gender neutral. Make hospitals wards mixed gender for all ages. Remove government funding from any women-only group.\u00a0 The number one problem in Western culture is lesbianism.\u00a0 The bible says that it is a sin for women to lay with another woman:\u00a0 the death penalty for lesbians is still legal in several countries.\u00a0 Ban lesbians from giving blood.\u00a0 \u201cScientific evidence\u201d suggests that unprotected lesbian sex spreads AIDs globally.\u00a0 If any woman does give blood, give them a questionnaire with intrusive questions about their sex lives.\u00a0 Make it acceptable for women to lie about their sexual history, at home, at work and socially. Encourage women to lead secret double lives.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Keep openly gay women away from teaching children in school and youth clubs because all paedophiles are female (well, you can\u2019t be too careful, can you?). Fear of paedophilia means that few women apply to work in childcare or to teach children in primary schools.\u00a0 There is always the threat that a boy could make an allegation of \u201cinappropriate touching\u201d from a female member of staff.\u00a0 Some children go through their entire education without having been taught class by a woman. Watch female teachers leave secondary schools in droves.<\/h2>\n<h2>Ban single gender schools.\u00a0 Boys thrive in mixed gender schools.\u00a0 Girls also have the opportunity to become better prepared for the market place by learning to feel more comfortable around boys.\u00a0 Rather than thinking about homework, exam results and career prospects, instead teach girls how to focus on shoes, dieting, make-up, shoes, fashion, shoes and boys, boys, boys!<\/h2>\n<h2>Notice how boys thrive in this atmosphere and do better than girls at home and at school.\u00a0 Girls grow up feeling isolated and alienated from society.\u00a0 At puberty, finding themselves motherless at home and at school, girls begin to actively seek out mother figures on the streets in gang culture.\u00a0 When girls start to act up at home or at school, give them powerfully addictive tranquilizers such as anti-depressants and Ritalin to keep them quiet.\u00a0 If that doesn\u2019t work, expel them from school. If girls start acting up on the streets, send them to prison.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Watch your daughter change as she gets older.\u00a0 Feed girls from birth with testosterone hidden in tap water, milk, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, chicken, beef, pork and so on.\u00a0 Notice how boys start puberty early, sometimes as young as 10 years old and girls start puberty later.\u00a0 Notice how your daughter\u2019s breasts shrink, her periods stop, she starts to grow long hair on her arms, legs and chest, and her chin starts to sprout whiskers.\u00a0 Observe how fertility rates in women plummet 60% in 40 years.<\/h2>\n<h2>When women point out that the worldwide suicide statistics is far higher for women than men (80% to 20%), call them weak and pathetic.\u00a0 When women complain about feeling undervalued by society and they don\u2019t feel like real women anymore, tell them to stop whinging, no-one is listening because no-one cares!\u00a0 Suggest they get more in touch with their <em>feelings<\/em>, their masculine side, and they would feel so much better.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>If your daughter tells you that she would rather be a boy, encourage her.\u00a0 Give her a boy\u2019s name, a boy\u2019s haircut, a boy\u2019s clothes and boy\u2019s shoes.\u00a0 Take your daughter to a sex change clinic as early as possible.\u00a0 There she can talk to a sympathetic male therapist about her transition.\u00a0 About why she hates her girl body and wants a boy\u2019s body.\u00a0 Give your daughter from age four onwards powerful beta-blockers to suppress her body\u2019s natural production of oestrogen.\u00a0 On her sixteenth birthday, give her extra pocket money so that she can pop over to her nearest sex shop and buy her first six inch strap-on.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>\u00a9 Martin H.
