The BBC has reached a new low in documentary making. Kirsty Wark -- a relentlessly feminist-friendly presenter on Newsnight and elsewhere -- presents a fictional world in which misandry doesn't exist, only women suffer from sexism, and more. It is, in short, a deeply sexist programme. Wark interviews vile women such as Germaine Greer and Laurie Penny and appears utterly in awe of them, whatever garbage they spout. Can you IMAGINE such airtime being given to men's human rights activists talking about the issues facing men and boys? Nor can we.
At 00:43 -- 00:58 Wark utters this priceless remark, setting the tone for the hour-long stream of feminist propaganda which was to follow:
'Is there a new culture in which men -- and it IS mainly men -- seem to think they have the freedom and the right to speak about, write about, and portray women in a derogatory -- even abusive -- way?'
As a statement of female supremacy, that takes some beating. Heaven forbid that men ever hold women to account for their actions and inactions.
Here are some of the lowlights and highlights. Rod Liddle, a Spectator columnist, makes some very sound points, as does an Australian stand-up comedian, Brendon Burns.
1:37 -- 1:58 Laurie Penny talks nonsense.
1:59 -- 2:21 Rod Liddle talks sense.
14:00 -- 16:07 Sexism in comedy.
16:08 -- 18:34 Brendon Burns.
26:12 -- 27:50 Women in public life, Twitter threats, blah, blah, blah...
27:48 -- 29:34 Rod Liddle speaks of receiving a message in which the sender hoped he'd die of cancer, and another message saying he looked like 'a drug-addled middle-aged lesbian'. Instead of offering sympathy to Liddle, Wark replies with 'That's quite insulting to lesbians!' and Liddle good-naturedly agreed.
29:35 -- 31:57 All feminist documentaries feature at least one hatchet-faced 'academic'. This time we're treated to Dr Claire Hardaker, a linguist at Lancaster University. Not someone you'd imagine going to a comedy club on a regular basis.
31:58 -- 32:50 Rod Liddle talks sense.
32:51 -- 35:28 Laurie Penny talks nonsense about 'geek culture', 'geek misogyny', 'nerd culture', blah, blah, blah...
40:34 -- 42:37 Anita Sarkeesian talks nonsense. Anyone wanting to find out the truth about this woman should check out these links:

43:14 -- 46:30 Germaine Greer talks nonsense.
54:58 -- 55:30 Ditto.
55:31 -- 56:06 Laurie Penny
56:29 -- 56:54 A video produced by Australian students, which Wark judges 'witty'. It includes references to emasculation and castration.
If anyone at the BBC had the SLIGHTEST interest in the sexism faced by men -- though from the evidence to date, nobody at the BBC does -- (s)he could start here:
