Thank you, Findlay. I was on Facebook the other day.

Most of us spend our time

on Facebook overviewing others arguments, spying on family or playing
Farmville. However, the other day I stumbled upon a group called ‘I Love Being
Black’.

*PAUSE*

Now, I’ve nothing against black pride. As Findlay said, neither myself nor my
group are racist. Black people have provided many great things, such as the
blues, jazz music and vuvuzuelas. A status of this group – I Love Being Black, for
the absent minded amongst us – featured a quote from a particularly prominent
member of the Black Panthers, an extreme right black power group. In this
modern age of free speech and liberal thinking, then surely that would be fine?
Surely we, as academics, should have the right to consider, quote and discuss
people with such extreme views? Well, I put it to you today that it is a damning
indictment of our freedom of speech that if I were to quote a Klu Klux Klansman,
I would be chased out of town, never to be seen again!

*PAUSE*

And that’s not all. Every day white people watch their tongues for fears of
insulting not only black people – but black people and the, ironically given the
Civil Rights Movement, predominantly white males in power, who create
needless laws and bureaucracy for fear of upsetting ethnic and religious
minorities. Is Britain not a Christian state? Is our monarch not the head of the
Church of England? Perhaps I verge on the points my good friend Jack will shortly
put to you. But we white people must ask ourselves: Are we going to allow
ourselves to be walked over?

*PAUSE*

Similarly, equality in gender has swung too far. I do not pretend for a second
there was never any gender based inequality – until the aforemented Civil Rights
Movement ‘levelled the playing field’. Feminism has gone too far. Instead of
creating gender equality, it has created a society where women have the power.
Let me explain.

*PAUSE*

For example, why does the law assume that mothers automatically gain custody
over the children in a divorce? Why must the father fight a lengthy court case for
this not to be the case? Is it because, I put to you, the law assumes that the
mother is the caring, or in some way ‘better’ parent? Did Feminism not fight for
women not to be considered the caring, parental, stay-at-home housewife
figure? Unsurprisingly Feminism, a mighty crusader of justice, righteousness and
equality fell in a wasteland of greed, it’s creed forgotten but powerful still,
wandering with untold influence it scarcely deserves. That assumption, that the
children should go to the mother, is sexist. Is it not more than a tad hypocritical
that this is not mentioned by feminists, as it benefits women?. It’s Sexist.
 *PAUSE*

Another example to consider: in cases of rape where the accused is found not
guilty, why is the woman still guaranteed anonymity, whilst the man has his life
destroyed as he becomes associated with rape in his local area and in the
media? In both cases it is because men are not allowed to stand up for
themselves and feminists, supported by an omnipotent legal system, will
demonise any that do, with cries of ‘sexism!’, which, when blown far out of
control by the P.C media, would destroy the career of any man in power with the
means to change anything. Therefore, it could be said that is men who are
oppressed. And that process in itself is a vicious circle. Any movement of
‘menism’ – incidentally, not a word, which is indicative – would be instutuionally
oppressed, which leads to men saying nothing, society becoming yet more
entrenched in its ways which makes it yet harder to speak. It will take a titanic
struggle to dethrone the hero of hypocrisy that is feminism. God help us. Talking
of God, I will now hand you over to Jack, who will speak to you of religion and
sexuality. Thank you.
