They don’t like us – by which I mean they don’t like most people, but they especially don’t like women. If you want to know the type in some detail, consider reading ‘Wifedom – Mrs Orwell’s Invisible Life’ by Anna Funder.
For sure, they won’t come out and tell you. Rather they know how to use you. They like to be served. Indeed, they are likely to need you to write their book, and then organise the book launch. The book could even be about nature, but they don’t want to ever have to interface with it. They need to be in control.
These same people are motivated by power and do not fundamentally believe in equality. For sure, they are quietly pleased to see the women crying in the boxing ring in Paris at the Olympics – beaten up by the other men. For them, this is evidence that women cannot fundamentally compete with men – that they should stay in the kitchen, or at least in a subservient role.
They will tell you that there are monsters under the sea, meanwhile they create havoc on land.
Last week, some of the media reported how two boxers banned from competing by the International Boxing Association (IBA), Algerian Imaine Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-ting, brutalised their female opponent at the 2024 Olympics in Paris; hitting them so hard that they quit their matches. These are biological males who are allowed to compete because they are ‘women according to their passports’.
It is all written in black and white, at the media page for the Olympics, CLICK HERE, same following:
Every person has the right to practise sport without discrimination.
All athletes participating in the boxing tournament of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 comply with the competition’s eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit (PBU) (please find all applicable rules here). As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport.
These rules also applied during the qualification period, including the boxing tournaments of the 2023 European Games, Asian Games, Pan American Games and Pacific Games, the ad hoc 2023 African qualifying tournament in Dakar (SEN) and two world qualifying tournaments held in Busto Arsizio (ITA) and Bangkok (THA) in 2024, which involved a total of 1,471 different boxers from 172 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the Boxing Refugee Team and Individual Neutral Athletes, and featured over 2,000 qualification bouts.
The PBU used the Tokyo 2020 boxing rules as a baseline to develop its regulations for Paris 2024. This was to minimise the impact on athletes’ preparations and guarantee consistency between Olympic Games. These Tokyo 2020 rules were based on the post-Rio 2016 rules, which were in place before the suspension of the boxing International Federation by the IOC in 2019 and the subsequent withdrawal of its recognition in 2023.
We have seen in reports misleading information about two female athletes competing at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The two athletes have been competing in international boxing competitions for many years in the women’s category, including the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, International Boxing Association (IBA) World Championships and IBA-sanctioned tournaments.
These two athletes were the victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA. Towards the end of the IBA World Championships in 2023, they were suddenly disqualified without any due process.
According to the IBA minutes available on their website, this decision was initially taken solely by the IBA Secretary General and CEO. The IBA Board only ratified it afterwards and only subsequently requested that a procedure to follow in similar cases in the future be established and reflected in the IBA Regulations. The minutes also say that the IBA should “establish a clear procedure on gender testing”.
The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision, which was taken without any proper procedure – especially considering that these athletes had been competing in top-level competition for many years.
Such an approach is contrary to good governance.
Eligibility rules should not be changed during ongoing competition, and any rule change must follow appropriate processes and should be based on scientific evidence.
The IOC is committed to protecting the human rights of all athletes participating in the Olympic Games as per the Olympic Charter, the IOC Code of Ethics and the IOC Strategic Framework on Human Rights. The IOC is saddened by the abuse that the two athletes are currently receiving.
The IBA’s recognition was withdrawn by the IOC in 2023 following its suspension in 2019. The withdrawal of recognition was confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). See the IOC’s statement following the ruling.
The IOC has made it clear that it needs National Boxing Federations to reach a consensus around a new International Federation in order for boxing to be included on the sports programme of the Olympic Games LA28. Ends.
For sure, across the world there are men in power who enjoy humiliating women. I’ve witnessed it my entire career as a scientist. They will always find a way, unless we learn how to fight back in ways that are intelligent. My father always warned me to never get in the ring with them, and that the pen is more powerful than the sword. There are other ways.
These men who are demanding women box with men in Paris, are the same men who would have us all compulsorily vaccinated against whatever they wanted, and they are also the same men who would ban tourism at the Great Barrier Reef – if only they could. Because they fundamentally don’t want us to connect with who we are – they are the real monsters and they have always lived amongst us, on land.
And they support the bizarre meme that is mostly making them a lot of money because it is forcing an energy transition – they laugh as they see children frightened that the world is overheating.
For sure, the world is not as it seems. If you needed any proof of this just read about the fiasco that is the Paris Olympics – from the opening ceremony to the boxing ring. And the British and European royals are there, as always, cheering it all on.

Thanks Mike,
It is a tactic, often employed by alpha males, to refuse to debate. After all, they know they will win if only they can force a physical contest.
Cheers, Jennifer
The way I see it two women stepped into that ring and one let herself and her country down. When this story first started doing the rounds I thought surely not, so off to Google I went, there are multple sources stating she is a women with XY chromosomes and she is a fully functioning women except she has high testostrone.
There where many medical papers showing the condition was not uncommon yet none supported the reverse narrative that she is a man with female genitalia, now I have never heard of an xx male or indeed an XY male that could, can or has given birth in modern history.
I’m also surprised at your thoughts, surely someone closely associated with the marine world more then any other would realize that in nature XX or XY has little to do with male/female and even less to do with reproduction, it is indeed a conflicted world.
As for the testostrone, surely she would have to meet the same drug test results as her counterparts in competition lest indeed there be an unfair advantage and to that end the level could be artificially reduced. For mine as a simple man, she was born female, has lived as a female and has always been female, to suggest anything else is an abomination.

Hi Michael
You write with such confidence from a made-up email and with a made-up name, and you
pretend that people are little different to fishes that can change sex.
Human beings can not change sex as they mature. And depending on the dominant culture, they might have some respect for one another and even women.

A bloke beating a girl in boxing is abuse. It is assault and the people that promote that event are party to that. It is criminal.
It was a deliberate and planned beating no different to if it took place on the street or in a home.
The Olympic Games organisers ought to be charged.
Dear Jen, although it seems you have been treated disrespectfully by some of your male scientist colleagues, it does seem that some female colleagues with different views to you have done the same. I think it is more a matter of ideological belief that they are right, even when the evidence disputes their claim. Having said this, there appears to be different standards and attitudes to women in some countries, particularly in extreme Islamic countries, and in more primitive societies. I prefer to believe that Western Democrocies respect women, and the incident in the Paris Olympics boxing was due to ignoring evidence of “maleness” in spite of scientific claims.

For sure there are more good men, and there are some bad women, but it is the case that within our culture the men who fundamentally seek power for its own end tend to rise to the top and they tend to dislike, if not hate, women. That is the history of The West at least back to medieval times. And that reminds me of other books on my book shelf that expose the deceit, including:
Shelley Puhak’s The Dark Queens
Karen Brook’s The Good Wife of Bath
Blanche d’Alpuget’s fantastic series beginning with King Louis of France and his French Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Not enough of us, who do care, are prepared to acknowledge the evil that exists in our world.
I write this, because not only does it exist, and has always existed, but at the moment it is gaining in power and influence.
If you do not believe me then consider reading:
Tim Schwab’s The Bill Gates Problem.
With insights into how Bjorn Lomborg is funded.
Considering how unequal things are for the little people there is the book entitled ‘Rigged’ by Cameron Murray and Paul Frijters.
All of this cut across the narrative promoted by Bjorn Lomborg, Jordon Peterson, and other such useful idiots, that the individual has a chance. And that things are getting better.
I tend to be more inclined to believe the ‘white hatter’ who broke into the University of East Anglia and stole all those emails. He once wrote:
“[The] Wealth of the surrounding society tends to draw the major brushstrokes of a newborn’s future life. It makes a huge difference whether humanity uses its assets to achieve progress, or whether it strives to stop and reverse it.”
The power-hungry, women-hating men, who still tend to rise to the top do not care about the little children.
And I think more and more about these things, as all wise women might as they get older.
I agree with you Jennifer – you can’t have a foot in each camp in my opinion. The Olympics will cease to exist as it has gone beyond what is acceptable in regard to the physical attributes of male and female.
All contact sports involving male v female should be boycotted by the athletes – better still just make this the last Olympic held outside Greece – if they want it then they can have it at the home of – and stop sending countries broke for vanity!
The IOC says: “Every person has the right to practise sport without discrimination.”
This is patently false. Otherwise there would be no weight or gender categories, fully abled persons could compete in the para-olympics, etc.
All of this predicted in Bloom’s “The Closing of the American Mind” decades ago.
But all this is mere logic.
The real lesson is that evil people exist, and history tells us they often rise to the 🔝 unless we are very careful.
Living in Brisbane I wonder what’s in stall for us when it’s our turn to host. Surely we can do better. I want the athletes/achievements to be #1 priority in every way and gender categories properly administered. Nothing that will embarass us.
Very well said Jennifer, in your response to Barbara.
I’m not sure, are the IOC already allowing “men” to compete against women in other sports, or is that what’s coming next?
You’ve revealed what shockers the IOC are, with the quote about IBA “they were suddenly disqualifying without any due process”. I mean, what “due process” do you need to follow? If they’re “men”, then they’re out – end of story!
The modern ‘Olympic Games’ have been an extravagant, ego-driven, concocted farce from the beginning – much like the Churches and ‘attendant’ Monarchies.
Competition should remain within ‘self’ – and have its own intrinsic achievement reward – the satisfaction of self-improvement by utilising an inquiring mind.
Bludgeoning those who disagree with you to death, only benefits those who manipulate the ‘biggest stick’ – until the stick changes allegiance.
This largely based on what I posted on Face book recently
With all the attention that Olympic boxing has received lately I thought I’d dig into it and see what the current regulations are with the assistance of medical scientist friends and lots of Google.
Firstly – testosterone levels are no longer required by the IOC as proof of gender which was obviously a flawed medical concept anyway.
The IOC does test for testosterone but in the context of drug induced performance enhancement only.
The link below contains another link to a rambling, IOC, six page, 10 point descriptor of who can compete in male or female Olympic events and SURPRISE ! …… well no surprise….
Its all about “fairness, Inclusion and non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex variations”.
As Jennifer has pointed out, the IOC official, to camera, explained that the two boxers in question were adjudged female because that’s what their passports say and they had boxed as females before … !
That’s ludicrous in my view.
https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/international-olympic-committee-issues-new-guidelines-transgender-athl-rcna5775?fbclid=IwY2xjawEbwFFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHV71ujxgH_SqX4Ula5XG8D5LLVOL583OWXWyH_d4TRusFlppBDKLGH01ZA_aem_eTlKfoFRo9QltvMENCl1yg
Now over in the science based world of the IBA, the International Boxing Association, previously known as the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur, which is the international sports organization that sanctions amateur boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships – it judges whether a boxer is male or female on the individual’s chromosome identity.
If a boxer tests positive for a Y chromosome, then they are adjudged to be be male because only males have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome are involved in male sex determination and development.
So a boxer testing for XY chromosomes is adjudged male, as Khelief and Lin were in 2022 and 2023 by the IBA.
Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting were both disqualified from IBA amateur boxing events during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul 2022 and during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi 2023.
Khelif initially appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS) but later withdrew.
Angela Carini, the female boxer, (and Italian copper), who had her nose broken by Khelif in the first round of their fight and quit, (wisely), is no mug.
Her amateur boxing career shows that she has had 108 fights, winning 84.
Late news:
Kehlief has beaten the very tough Anna Luca Hamori who survived the three rounds with great defence but lost on points.
Kehlief is assured of a medal now as there is no bronze medal in Olympic boxing.
This is getting a bit long although I have more so I’ll finish with this fact.
One form of intersex is a human identified visually as female at birth, born a girl, because of external female genitalia … Its a girl !
But can actually have male genitalia inside the body as well and this will show up in chromosome testing as the IBA insists and quite often in physical characteristics tending to be male.
Dear Jen. Thanks for your response and reading references following my earlier comment. I understand what you are saying, having experienced workplace bullying from a male person after I had been temporarily promoted to his position while he was on leave. But he was an exception, as I also had other male colleagues compliment me on my work and ability. I do not consider most men to be intent on dominating women.
And I wanted to say that I love reading all the comments on your blog, and was intrigued by Michael’s comment on marine biology, when he wrote:
“I’m also surprised at your thoughts, surely someone closely associated with the marine world more then any other would realize that in nature XX or XY has little to do with male/female and even less to do with reproduction, it is indeed a conflicted world.”
I would not equate the genetics and gender of marine species, particularly some fish with interesting reproductive abilities, with that of humans. Those of us who consider “maleness” in humans, due to XY chromosomes and higher levels of testosterone, to be an advantage in a boxing ring, are simply stating the obvious. Barb
Hey Jennifer,
My rather detailed and carefully researched piece that I put together this morning didn’t appear.
It was completely factual and was broadly in agreement with you but it has vanished ?

Hi David, Did it ‘vanish’ from Facebook or from this thread? I’m always keen to read and archive ‘carefully researched’ work. Perhaps you can resend it as an email and I will place it here. My gmail address is best jennifermarohasy@gmail.com :-).

Saturday morning

On my part, as a human, I’ve written off this Olympics as forgettable simply for the blasphemy of CHRISTIANITY in the opening ‘ceremony’, and I’m an atheist! Now the organising committee’s complete disregardd for common sense. in boxing.
The idea is to destroy the opponent’s central nervous system.
How is that a sport?
Fran, couldn’t agree more. I’m also non-religious, (probably agnostic) and view the opening ceremony as cowardly (I’ll withdraw that charge when I see a similar “play” depicting Islam similarly) and totally unnecessary. As for the boxing presumably the IOC are waiting for a fatal or near-fatal injury before reconsidering their stance.
I agree that they shouldn’t be in the ring together, but part company after that. This isn’t about the patriarchy. Surprised no one has linked the transhuman contents of the opening ceremony with this – we’ve decided we’re better than God, or nature, and can define our bodies however we like, within fashionable guide rails. I’ve noticed some of the loudest voices on this are female.
The IBA is a banned organisation. What test for gender would you suggest Jenn?
Thanks Graham.
Of course, fashions change.
I am very familiar with organisations promoting and platforming individuals because they have the identity markers that are politically fashionable and cool now.
Bjorn Lomborg, for example, has even fewer publications than me in climate science, but his rise to fame continues as he is promoted at events concerning energy, the environment and climate change often with the byline – gay and a vegetarian.
It probably helps that he also has the backing of billionaire Bill Gates.
A new hero of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria, reported just yesterday as clinching a medal at the Paris Olympics in the ’emotional fight’.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-04/paris-olympics-imane-khelif-clinches-medal-in-boxing/104181158#
The article continues:
“Khelif defeated Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary 5:0 in the quarterfinals of the women’s 66kg division. Khelif will win at least a bronze medal after she comfortably earned the second victory of her tumultuous second trip to the Olympics.” End Quote.
As cultural norms have changed the Olympics is now allowing men to compete in woman’s categories. Khelif of Algeria has an XY chromosome but has been competing in the woman’s 66kg category at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This is allowed because Khelif identifies as a woman and has a passport designating him as a woman.
The test for gender is straight forward. And we already know he has an XY chromosome.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not dispute or acknowledge the technical definition of a man and a woman – but denies its relevance.
Maybe that is all too hard. As the right side of politics has told me for how many years that fighting the issue of changing temperatures for convenience is too difficult to understand.
And after all, Bjorn Lomborg and others, don’t like to question the official statistics.
Of course, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) rather than do any investigation into the evidence, just repeats that which is fashionable and cool.
It has a bit to do with the patriarchy. And many women are now subscribing to it, they just can’t see.
And I just cancelled my decades long subscription to The Australian over this article, that begins:
“After years of being told by a conservative society that she could not be accepted as a boxer because she was female, Imane Khelif never imagined as a young girl that she would compete at the Olympics for her country.
Over the weekend she guaranteed herself an Olympic medal while being at the centre of an international controversy over her right to fight.
Her participation in the Paris Games has prompted interventions from figures including Elon Musk, JK Rowling and the Italian prime minister — all of whom think she has an unfair advantage over her fellow female fighters.
She beat the Hungarian boxer Luca Anna Hamori, meaning she has progressed to the semi-finals, where she will meet Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannaphen. As two bronze medals are awarded in Olympic boxing, she will leave with a medal.
While walking through the media mixed zone, Khelif said: “I am a woman.”
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/the-times/imane-khelifs-childhood-in-algeria-where-her-father-defends-her-right-to-box/news-story/1d1792935a14cfba88db0187bd6e7751
And where was The Australian during the lockdowns?
I am surprised at your lack of understanding of human biology. There are many ways that sex organs and chromosomes can be more complicated than XX & XY. Differences in Sex Development (DSD) often only appear at puberty. The Algerian boxer was born a girl,
raised as a girl, competed as a girl. I would have thought you would be more supportive of your own gender rather than simply following the male dominated conservative agenda.
Jennifer is absolutely right to be concerned and could do without ignorant comments.
For those who think that gender reassignment and other abuses of children is just a game I suggest you search for a recent report “The WPATH Files – pseudoscientific surgical and hormonal experiments on children, adolescents and young adults
by Mia Hughes. 5 March 2024”. This is a report compiled from a leaked video and text exchanges between medical practitioners belonging to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. WPATH is quoted as the leading authority on gender medicine in the world with considerable influence throughout the Anglo-sphere including in the UK via the NHS.
In a recent interview with Michael Shellenberg and Ms Hughes it was explained that these leaked materials have revealed that leading medical practitioners in the field of gender paediatric health care are all too aware that many of these procedures are experimental and most significantly, that they have been proceeding with irreversible surgery on patients who cannot possibly give informed consent, either because they are too young or that they suffer from some other psychological disorder.
The leaked discussions include doing potential surgeries and administering drugs for children including as young as 10, delaying their development, on people diagnosed as schizophrenic disorders, identity disorders and so on. People within WPATH, inside what is called Gender Affirming Medicine are reported to explicitly recognise that neither the children nor the parents (in some cases not even included in discussions) understand the consequences of these procedures that are experimental and which include life long sterilisation, and loss of sexual function. So this is extremely serious, competing with past medical scandals such as the infected blood for haemophiliacs and others. It is child abuse pure and simple, in fact it is abuse of anyone who is fed untruthful information about the consequences which often involve life-long pain and an inability to rectify the terrible mistake that was made. This is medical malpractice that contravenes the Hippocratic oath of ‘do no harm’.
The NHS is now offering surgery to these abused unfortunates, some of whom may be so desperately unhappy as to be contemplating suicide (and some have already taken this final step) to return to their original biological sex, even though it can only be a partial return. Some critical functions can never be restored.
You are free to make up your own minds about this report, but it is not the only one with similar examples of medical malpractice for which there is more and more evidence. Lack of informed consent is critical here and it is something lacking in many other situations which come under criminal law – though not all unfortunately.
Almost all children and teenagers go through periods of uncertainty, self-doubt etc., and most grow out of it. They do not need irrevocable surgery, just thoughtful understanding and a confidence boost. So please lets get real about this threat and stop the nonsense about fishes and anything goes.
Peter Etherington-Smith, speaking of ignorance, you are the only one talking about surgeries.
