Scotland’s gender list has 14 definitions that nobody there belongs to

A list of 24 official genders produced by the SNP Government includes 14 categories that nobody in Scotland says they belong to, census data reveals.

Kaukab Stewart, the SNP equalities minister, is facing claims she misled the Scottish Parliament by claiming that the list of two-dozen genders, which has been the subject of global ridicule, had been based on “common responses” in the census.

New findings published by respected policy analysis group, MurrayBlackburnMackenzie, which interrogated census data, found that in the majority of cases, nobody living in Scotland had said they identified with the genders on the formal list.

Canada, radical Islam and cities of fear

Why do hate incidents against Jews in Canada vastly outnumber all other minorities?

Toronto, per capita, leads cities in the Western world in antisemitic hate incidents, which also outnumbers all other hate incidents in the city, according to B’nai Brith Canada’s impeccable statistics and confirmed by the Metropolitan Toronto Police. And these hateful incidents continue to spiral to historic highs.

In just one recent example, six students at a North Toronto primary school made the Nazi salute and neither the principal nor the parents were castigated.

To Combat Wokeness, We Need Karl Popper Back

Accurate depiction of woke society.

The fundamental philosophical contribution of Austrian-born Karl Popper (1902-1994) is his falsification theory of knowledge. Sometimes it is contrasted with the ‘verificationism’ that emerged from the Vienna Circle in the inter-war period, arrestingly introduced to the English-reading public in A.J. Ayer’s youthful tour de force, Language, Truth, and Logic (1936). But the two enterprises are really quite different. Verificationism seeks to create criteria for meaning, suggesting that the meaning of a proposition can be derived from the way in which it is verified and that, therefore, propositions that were neither true by definition (‘all unmarried men are bachelors’) nor verifiable by observation (‘there is a cat on the mat’) were meaningless. When I was a philosophy undergraduate, in the atheistic environment of 1980s Oxford, ‘God is Love’ was held up as a paradigm case of a proposition which, being neither self-evident from its terms nor provable by empirical means, was not merely wrong but meaningless.

Is ‘Man the Hunter’ a Myth?

Man the Hunter is the name of 1968 book which highlighted the central role of hunting in human evolution. Although ‘Man’ here refers to ‘mankind’ rather than ‘males’, the title embodies the common assumption that hunting is a largely male activity. Indeed, the authors, Richard Lee and Irven DeVore, argued that the sexual division of labour in hunter-gatherer societies is such that men specialise in hunting and women specialise in gathering.

And this makes sense. We know men are both faster and stronger than women – attributes that would obviously give them an advantage in clubbing seals, arrowing wildebeests and spearing woolly mammoths.

Kremlin’s sex toy sabotage campaign is just the beginning

When sexual aids spontaneously burst into flame, one does not automatically assume it to be the work of Vladimir Putin. However, that is the prospect now being considered by Western security officials, who believe that two electric massagers which ignited in logistics hubs in Germany and the UK back in July were in fact part of a wider Russian sabotage operation. The European erotic gadget inferno was, they suspect, a “practice run” aimed at ultimately placing similar incendiary devices aboard cargo or even passenger aircraft flying to the US and Canada.
