For the first time in history young women are out-earning young men – and not by a small margin. According to the Centre for Social Justice women aged 16-24 now make nearly 10% more than their male peers in both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. In 2020-21, young men earned slightly more (£24,032 vs. £23,021), but by 2022-23, women surged ahead, earning £26,476 to men’s £24,283. The ‘Lost Boys’ report also found:
Former Tory MP Miriam Cates blamed politicians’ and the media’s “equality” drive for the findings, saying:
“For too long, politicians, policymakers, the media and the arts have turned a blind eye to the needs of boys in the name of ‘equality’. We are now reaping the whirlwind. Far from creating equality, we have penalised young men for the crime of being male, labelling them ‘toxic’ and ‘problematic’ and failing to provide a positive vision of masculinity. Things need to change, and fast.”
No surprise that nearly half of Britons say “women’s equality” has gone “far enough” then…
Statement by Paul Dacre, Editor-in-Chief of Associated Newspapers Limited, following Harry’s loss in court today:
“Prince Harry wrote a sad book which boasted about his killing of 25 Taliban, his drug-taking and, in cringe-making detail, how he lost his virginity. There isn’t a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family. For him, to complain about HIS privacy being invaded takes, not just the biscuit, but the whole tin. Poor Harry. I feel sorry for the way a confused and angry young man has been drawn into this case. The bitter irony is that his mother, Diana, liked the Mail. We were her paper. We took her side in her acrimonious break up with Charles. She and I would speak and meet. The Mail’s superb royal reporter was her friend and confidante. The truth is that this trumped-up action – which has cost well over £50 million and wasted a huge amount of valuable court time – should never have been brought to trial. That it did, raises profoundly disturbing questions about the conduct of elements of the legal profession. Today’s verdict is not just a victory for Associated’s magnificent journalists – several of whom have had a terrible toll imposed on their health and lives – but a free press generally. Make no mistake. This was a conspiracy, supported by Hacked Off, to destroy a paper. Financed by the orgy-loving, racist Max Mosley and involving the actor Hugh Grant, it was also a sinister bid to resuscitate Leveson Two and impose statutory regulation on the press which, even now, is rearing its ugly head in Labour’s Media Green Paper.”
