MEN AND WOMEN ARE *NOT* EQUAL !

This evening the BBC is broadcasting a programme that involves messing about with small children in an attempt to demonstrate that boys and girls are essentially the same. A Doctor Abdelmoneim has some daft ideas about supposed 'gender bias' and has set out to prove his theories by dressing boys up as girls and vice versa along with an assortment of other nonsense. Of course, the BBC, wearing its equality-mad hat, is only to happy to subject us to such drivel whenever it raises its sorry head and the opportunity to follow this experiment in 'gender neutrality' was obviously too attractive to miss..

In case anyone, including the those at the BBC, has any doubts, boys and girls are DIFFERENT. Not only do they have different bodies, they also have different biological functions; as a consequence they tend to have different driving forces and desires. Women have babies and suckle their young, men do not; the hormonal differences between the sexes are there for all to see - women suffer periods and men suffer the never-ending growth of beards. Men tend to be bigger, stronger and more aggressive than women; men's ambitions tend to be different. The play of boys and girls, which Dr Abdelmoneim seems to think is interchangeable, is nothing more than preparation for later life, boys tending to ape their fathers and girls their mothers.

There is nothing wrong with trying to ensure that men and women have equal opportunities in life but to pretend that they are actually 'equal' is nonsensical. To extend this rubbish to experiments on children is coming close to the eugenics of the past, but in reverse; while eugenics attempted to prove differences, the new mania is to prove that there are none. In this crazy world of equality, men and women, genius and idiot, criminal and law abiding, Inuit and Bantu are all 'equal', which may sound right but is nothing more than politically correct drivel.

Geniuses are celebrated, idiots are locked away; criminals are locked away while the law-abiding are relatively free. The Inuit live lives which the Bantu couldn't possibly endure, and vice versa. Far more men than women seek powerful positions of authority, something which has nothing to do with opportunity but is all about desire.

Dr Abdelmoneim's experiments border on child abuse and the BBC is complicit. It should be ashamed of its politically correct promotion of such appalling and utter nonsense dressed up as science.
