Egalitarian strikes a woman again:
“A
police officer has told a jury she was "absolutely terrified" after
she was floored with a punch to the face as she tried to arrest an assault
suspect at Manchester Airport.
Greater
Manchester PC Lydia Ward suffered a broken nose in the incident at the Terminal
2 car park pay station area on 23 July last year…
…
PC Ward added: "I tried to
grab him off so he could stop kicking PC Marsden. All I remember then is that
he turned and he punched me straight in the face."
"I
can't really remember where it landed but I know where my injuries were. I
remember falling on the floor and everything went black."
She
told prosecutor Adam Birkby that the blow was "really forceful".
"As
I came round, all I could feel was blood pouring out of my nose. I was just
thinking he has done something to my nose, face area, I didn't know what has
happened.
"I was terrified to be honest. I was absolutely terrified. I had never experienced that level of violence towards me in my life," she said.
"I
didn't know who was going to come up at me next. I was scared of going after
this male again and being punched in the face again."
She
said at one point she pressed her police radio emergency button to call for
further assistance but the impact of the punch had knocked the battery out.
PC
Ward told the court that other people in the pay station area were
"shouting stuff" and "filming on their mobile phones".
She
said: "Nobody came to assist. I felt everyone in that room was against us.
To be honest, I was terrified."…
…
"He could see I was a
police officer and he could see I was a female as well."[1]
Read that
last line again, “He could see I was a police officer and he could see I was a
female as well." Was he supposed to show you extra sympathy because you
are a woman? Chivalry would dictate that the answer is yes. Absolutely. But we
have been deconstructing chivalry for decades now, longer in fact. Does this
man even know what it is? Chivalry is based on the idea that women are weaker,
physically inferior and need to be protected. It was an honour code created by
medieval Christian monks to restrain the violence of the Knights and redirect
their strength to protecting vulnerable women rather than hurting them. Giving a
woman a badge and a uniform and telling her to do a man’s job just like a man would
is publicly declaring that chivalry is redundant, sexist, and to be shunned. This
is egalitarianism at work.
Do you know
who is worse than this man punching this police officer in the face? The men
who put her in this position. They are worse.
Those who
encouraged her, didn’t discourage her, passed her though she was never
physically capable of the job so they lowered the standards, those who said, “You
go girl” to a petit woman taking on a such a dangerous job.
These men are worse.
Egalitarianism is a terrible evil. How many women does egalitarianism have to
punch in the face before we repent as a society and recognise that men and
women are vastly different and no small woman should ever have had this job in
the first place?
Throw the book at the scumbag that hit her. Deport him. Then rewrite the book
and throw it at the scumbag men who put women in this position. They did
not just make this situation possible they made it a certainty. Policing is a dangerous
job. Policing multicultural societies is even more dangerous.
One argument
that I have heard for why women need to be police officers is because 50% of
the population are women and these women are needed to work in delicate
situations with women. Ok, then why do they need to be police officers? Police
are the thin blue line between society and criminals. For this you need men who
can combat those criminals. You need men who can stand up to criminals. You
need men who look strong and can stare down criminals and act with force when
necessary.
If women are
needed for delicate situations with women, task nurses trained in counselling
to work on staff in every police station. Problem solved. But don’t give a woman
a badge and a whistle and throw her into street situations just like you would
a man. It is abuse just as surely as if you had thrown the punch. It is worse
once you do it knowing what could happen.
The Bible
commands men to see women as the weaker vessel and treat them accordingly (1 Pet. 3:7). We
disobey this to our own peril. This includes the men who put women in these situations
as much as the men who would hit a woman like this, both are showing utter
contempt for women when they do this.
