Five Feminists On Board The Titanic – Four Survived…The Other Was A Male Feminist

Interesting article from TheScotsman reveals that five prominent feminists were on board the Titanic, and all of them survived bar one – William Thomas Stead, the only male feminist amongst them. A noted women’s rights campaigner, Stead was most famous for his ‘tabloid’ style expose of child prostitution in late Victorian London, which was largely responsible for persuading the British parliament to accede to feminist demands, against the wishes of early men’s rights campaigners, and raise the age of consent from 13 to 16.

The article seems to be stressing the bravery of the female feminists. One of them ‘helped other women and children into the lifeboats’. Another, ‘broke her ankle boarding the lifeboat but survived’. Poor dear. William T Stead, meanwhile, exemplified Victorian chivalry with a stiff upper lip.

William T Stead – a British newspaper reporter who paved the way for tabloid journalism – was a social reformer and ardent advocate of women’s rights. While editor of the Pall Mall Gazette in 1885, he “bought” a 13-year-old girl for £5 in an attempt to expose the scale of child prostitution. Although he was jailed for unlawfully kidnapping a minor, the publicity the case generated led to the passing of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, which raised he age of consent from 13 to 16. A friend of suffragette Millicent Garrett Fawcett, Stead was proud of being the first editor to employ women on the same wages as men. After all the lifeboats on the Titanic had been filled, Stead, who had been travelling to a peace conference, is said to have gone to the First Class smoking room where he was last seen sitting in a leather chair reading a book.

  2. Not sure, but after reading the article in the Scotsman, I couldn’t avoid thinking they have a ‘slight bias’ in favour of feminisim?
    They write of all the great accomplishments of the three female survivors, but just couldn’t help themselves: they had to highlight the fact that Mr William Stead, had bought a (legally aged at the time) ‘sex slave’, which of course exposes his paedophilic tendencies, albeit at the time: that behaviour would not have been regarded by anyone as paedophilia. Slavery: yes, but he would not have been regarded as a paedophile or pervert or as anyone sexually deviant. The girl was over the age of consent after all.
    100 years later…
    It seems that everyone in the UK is obsessed with this paedophilia and naming and shaming; even dead people men.

  3. Women once demonstrated on November 11th around the statute of the unknown soldier in Paris. They demonstrated against the fact that women’s suffering during the first world war had not been recognised as it should have been. The motto of the demonstration was “the wife of the unknown soldier is even more unknown than the unknown soldier himself”. The irony is, of course, that said wife didn’t die in the trenches. Take any of mankind’s suffering or hardship, past or present, the line is that “women were (are) hit particularly hard”. And in all cases it’s just the opposite that is true. The worst part of this big consistent lie is that the public buys it.

  4. Jack,
    You reminded me:
    That’s similar although not quite as bad as this: BLANTANT, misandry biased revisonism that started in the RAF Museam recently and that will no doubt, infiltrate like a pandemic, contaminating every other bit of recorded history that portrays men as gallant, courageous and good.
    There is no limit whatsoever to their lying and misandry!
    Nor do those grotesque feminazis have any resepect or decency at all: Lying at the expense of and rendering to total insignificance, the unrivaled courage of TRUE HEROS in the way they have, is utterly unforgivable and something should be done about it!
    To me: this is a gesture that is akin to or even worse than burning the Union Jack!
    Those unscrupulous whores should realize that if it wasn’t for the unparalled bravery of all of those men, they wouldn’t be demonizing and destroying men the way they are today; they would more likely be REAL victims and slaves to somebody or something and it surely wouldn’t be to ordinary, decent men of the calibre that saved their civilization and nation in 1940; or ‘the patriarchy’ either…
    Those men in effect, gave their lives so that these sub-humans could destroy their sons, grandsons – all men and boys and make a total mockery of the entire human race…

  5. Supposedly, William T Stead bought the girl in order to expose how easy it was and how rife child prostitution was. Sounds a bit like the modern male ‘child porn experts’ who spend all day watching videos of 9 year olds being raped in order to advise the feminists on new laws to outlaw looking at 20 year old women in bikinis.

    Note that the reason the age of consent in the UK is now 16, instead of 13, is because it was deemed necessary (thanks to feminists lobbying and the work of William Stead) over 100 years ago to combat child prostitution. This was in an age in which girls began puberty later than today, in which girls were badly educated (if they recieved any education at all), and in which pre-marital sex was something that was still taboo (especially for girls).

    Today we live in a society in which girls begin puberty 2 years earlier than they did a century ago, a society which condones pre-marital sex as a woman’s right, sex having been reduced to little more than a leisure pursuit. Thanks to, especially, the internet, girls are far more sexually knowledgeable at an earlier age, and tend to walk around in see thorugh leggings and g-strings from around the age of 10 or 11.

    Yet, if you ask most intelligent people in the UK what the most reasonable age of consent is, leaving aside hardcore feminists and conservatives, the majority will say 16. Simply because that age was set in a different era, in totally difference social circumstances, with the aim not of preventing consensual sex with teens, but with the aim of reducing child prostiution.

    Rational world isn’t it?

    Similarly, the age of consent has been set for entirely arbitary reasons in most European countries. In France, the age of consent is 15, and most educated people will instinctively say that 15 is the reasonable age at which a girl can consent to sex. Same with Germany, Italy, Spain. In Spain the age of consent is 13. Recently the Nationalist Basque party has been trying to have it raised to 16. Debate in Spain is evenly split. To many people, 13 seems entirely reasonable. Yet, if and when the aoc is raised to 16 (or eventually 18, or 21) those same people will probably wonder how they could have once thought that 13 was a reasonable age of consent.

    As I mentioned, there is some evidence I’ve come across that when the age of consent was raised from 13 to 16 in the Uk, it was with an understanding that the law would not be applied to prosecute men who have willing unpaid for sex with 13-15 year old girls (non prositutes). If any readers come across any links relating to this please post them.

    this is an interesting article posted on r/mensrights yesterday : http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/02/03/legislating-teen-sex-age-consent-laws-send-young-men-to-jail-consensual-sex

    I left a comment at reddit pointing out that if it had been written by a male mens’ rights supporter he would have been promptly hounded out of the movement!

  7. Reminds me of the BrassEye paedohysteria episode –

    Chris Morris : ‘Would you have sex with this 3 year old girl, now that she is 21?’

    Man in the street : ‘No way! You belong in a mental asylum!’

    You know that a ‘child protection’ law is bat shit insane when even Daily Mail commentators agree that it’s crazy.

    No doubt it won’t be long before the EU introduces a similar ‘sexual grooming’ law whereby you can’t have sex with a person you first met or contacted before the age of 18.

  8. The part
    ‘I plan on making this a national campaign in each and every state. I would like to see a national registry as a reference place for employers.
    ‘More or less it’s kind of my way to channel this anger, frustration into something productive protecting students, protecting kids.”

    Is very into the sexual jealously middle age feminists, I wonder how many men pay attentions to the mom since she lost her prime time.

    This is how the Sexual Trade Union works, is about spread like a disease, going from personal to political, something so trivial and common like her adult legal daughter is dating a more mature man who was her teacher, I din’t see her before when many MILFs and “hot teachers” were raping and sexual abusing boys, I picture her cheering “You go girl!” every time a women had sex with a minor.

    Also the part

    “…ore or less it’s kind of my way to channel this anger, frustration into something productive protecting students, protecting kids…”

    She imply here that this is all about her FEEEEEELINGS, she is angry so she takes her anger and make it into law.

  9. Come to the USA, the nation where you can enjoy the true FREEDOM and liberated approach of a TOTALITARIAN CONTROLLED Society!

    This makes Orwell’s 1984 look like a school picnic!

    But we just sit back and let em do whatever they fucking well like…

  10. I decided this deserves its own post. As my posts get listed on men’s rights feeds and DelusionDamage.com, most mras will see it.

  11. I just posted this comment under the Daily Mail feature:

    Our sex-obsessed society is losing it’s grip on reality! We are now witnessing a true Inquisition! Like Inquistions of the dark ages: everyone became the prey of the lynch-mobs. The only difference is the ‘witch’. It was witches and heretics in the 15th century inquistions, now it is the ‘paedophile’ or pervert. A HATED scapegoat, defined by nothing more than hysterical hearsay.
    In the old Inquistions, eventually everyone became the persecuted scapegoat, so the witch-hunters ended up persecuting each other. NOBODY was above suspicion!
    Now almost anyone can be branded as a ‘paedophile’! Thus again in the 21st century: NOBODY will be above suspicion: of being a paedophile.
    History repeats itself: A similar pattern is emerging: With this new paedo-hysterical law as well as all the other feminist influenced mandates enacted over the past 30 years, we have proved that we are no more advanced now than were our IGNORANT, witch-hunting ancestors, burning people at the stake 500 years ago.

    I don’t know yet if it will be allowed, but if it is I hope one or two who might be reading this will will upvote it or add your supporting comments.

  12. “is said to have gone to the First Class smoking room where he was last seen sitting in a leather chair reading a book”

    What a stupid tale.

    The book had better be good to provide escapism from the looming death.

  13. @antifeminist, I don’t see your post. They’ve kept only 7 short comments.

    I’ve just succeeded in posting a short acidic comment below the Titanic article. Of course they might wake up and delete it later. All the same, even if a comment only remains on line for a few hours, it’s better than nothing. Should we consider time-zones so that PC comment stand the best chances of lasting longer?

  15. Watch this guys! The BBC in denial over the “save women first” rule. The whole article is a fudging exercise. Of course, as usual on the BBC, no comments allowed.
