Cofnas here opining that lady professors’ lady parts and lady feelings mean that we can’t actually do the work as well as our strong manly straight men colleagues; we must instead resort to manipulation and emotions

College, Cambridge, in 2024. In blog posts, he had said that, in a meritocracy: “Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.” In a piece titled “Don’t Scapegoat Women”, published in January this year, Cofnas claimed “women but not men can get people fired by pointing and crying”.

He added: “To meet de facto quotas, employers have had to reach deeper into the pool of less qualified female candidates. For obvious reasons, affirmative action hires often have a chip on their shoulder. Many of them turn to social justice activism to distract from the fact that they aren’t as good at their job as the straight white men who earned their position based on merit, or weren’t hired at all.”

Curiosities. A neo-impressionist painting of bourgeois Bretons consumed at a fair or religious festival by a sideshow of magic lantern still and moving images. Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau (1864-1930), La Lanterne magique, huile sur toile, signée en bas à droite, 50 x 65 cm.

Several figures in bourgeois Breton costume looking at projected images.

It feels amazing to be able to state that today is my first as Professor of French Art History at the University of Birmingham. My application for promotion was successful! 🎉 I am grateful to the colleagues, friends and family who supported and encouraged me to work towards this accomplishment.😊

First ever appearance starting in central midfield in the Premier League. WOW. Myles Lewis-Skelly was incredible this afternoon. Only 19-years-old. He’s going to be playing in the Arsenal first-team for a very long time. What a talent.
