Girlguiding Scotland has evidently diversified from providing girls with character building communal activities into feminist campaigning. Why could that be?

A quick look at their website reveals Government funding: did the organisation pander to SNP policy to get the grants, or did they secure the funding and then come under pressure to toe the party line? Either way, it’s the familiar story of the SNP’s tentacles reaching ever deeper of civic life.

To answer Catriona Manders, Girlguiding Scotland Speak Out champion, the gender pay gap is the result of men and women making different choices through their lives, from their courses of study to their family/career balance. These natural differences in priority yield a creative complementarity, but the dogmatic feminists insist that they indicate a losing battle of the sexes.

So, Girlguiding Scotland, please stop telling women and girls that they should be exactly the same as man and boys when it comes to their life choices.

Neil Mackay wrote a balanced piece on the controversy around the Netflix film Cuties that includes scenes of very young girls dancing in a sexual way.

However, he didn’t quite nail the issue. The problem with showing children in a sexualised context is that it invites or provokes sexual attraction to children. Many paedophiles report that they progressed from regular pornography into child porn into paedophilia, despite initially having no such inclinations. That’s why such imagery can never be justified, no matter what worthy underlying message is claimed.

It’s the same reason we have a law against pornographic depictions of rape: they will lead to men developing a drive towards engaging in rape.

The national union of doctors (which goes by the name of the BMA), has decreed that legal gender change should be available upon self-declaration.

Sadly, the collective voice of the medical profession can no longer be relied on to offer sound philosophical or moral guidance.
