On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced a 20-point guide to how to empower women.
Timed to coincide with next week's International Women's Day, it dripped with all the usual insufferably patronising self-righteousness that's become the hallmark of the couple's endless hectoring homilies to the world.
'Let's unleash a groundswell of real acts of compassion for the women in your life!' they beseeched on their foundation website.

“Looks like the Duchess has reduced the Duke to a whiny little bitch.”
If anyone has the knowledge on how to empower women, it’s Meghan. She passed “empowered” years ago, and Harry’s there as a testament.

I’m surprised if she doesn’t end up like Princess Diana
Another story about Sparkle Markle and her husband Ginger. When do they take over the open Kardashian time slot on E! ?
A 20-point guide to how to empower women?
I thought women were in charge already!
If she was proud of bet African heritage why did she bleach her skin and straighten her hair. That’s just a rumor I read. Also another rumor is Charles isn’t even Harry’s father. Maybe a DNA test could take care of the problem
If you want to know what Meghan is really like you should read what he ex-Suits workmates have to say about her. Pretty, it ain’t.
Banana and Sharpie futures closed at record highs in global markets on the news.
Reactions of UK sex workers to the Duche$$ has been mixed, with many complaining that customers have been paying with inscribed banana bunches in lieu of cash. "My pimp beat beat me so bad I 'ad more bruises than that bunch of bananas I was lugging around all day."
Her Majesty The Queen is a servant of Boris Johsnon, COVID tyrant right now.
Piers Morgan supports the regime.
So hard for me to care if Harry and Meghan choose to do what they do outside of Her Majesty’s control. I don’t agree with it but I am not going to give a rip.
Truth is people like Harry and Meghan and wounded and hurt people whose political activism masks their woundedness.
I’m been a political phony in my own way not seeing the truth about my real condition so I’ve done what they are doing although my issues were different.
Ironically, that’s why she is where she is.
I believe Harry intentionally sought out a “woman of color” as a way to both virtue signal and give the finger to the establishment Royals.
MEghan and Just Harry left a country that was ruled by a woman only to come to a country ruled by an old white man. Hypocrites.
She went through half a dozen nannies when Archie was born.
There was a documentary on her wedding veil which she took so much pride in announcing it was a take on a gown Liz once wore that had all the Commonwealth flowers embroidered on it. She went into detail about Harry’s favorite flower or some such but come to find out, she never consulted on it and had no clue what flowers or which countries. She didn’t even see the veil until the wedding and hadn’t seen it again until the documentary as it was headed to a museum. She’s such a fake.
What’s so hateful about this new Oprah documentary is it will be aired on the same day as Liz gives her Commonwealth Day speech. You can’t tell me that wasn’t planned. Just Harry should be ashamed of himself.
A few days ago, one of Just Harry’s military buddies said he hoped losing his military titles was worth all this.
And slimmed down her nose.
Cuomo, sheila jackson lee, e.g.
On the other hand, he might’ve gone trolling with his small head and she was the first to bite.
I doubt Harry could figure out what’s going on with her.
I knew a guy who kept making excuses for MM. LOL
The older this author (Piers Morgan) gets, the more sensible he becomes
He’s a major liberal idiot. He tore into Sarah Palin about the election was not stolen. Unfortunately Palin didn’t have any guts to say it was stolen when confronted.
I don’t care if Piers Morgan has an honest to God come to Jesus moment. I’ve watched him for years jumping all over American conservatives, most especially over our Second Amendment rights.
He’s one reason among many I’ve not very fond of the Brits.
Speaking for the early boomers, white middle-class Christian women in my cohort were not encouraged to form careers other than schoolteaching, nursing or secretarial work. In high school and if they went to college, many teachers or professors were patronizing at best, and others were sexually harassing. Some parents disapproved of women “getting above themselves” or “trying to be so smart” and some would pay for college for their sons but not their daughters. Many parents and professors alike would say, “Why waste the money? You’re just going to get married.” Meanwhile, the Vietnam War was heating up and many marriage-aged men were getting drafted.
If an early Boomer woman did try to find employment other than the above three (schoolteacher, nurse or secretary), she might often hear, “Why should we hire a woman? You’re just going to get married and leave.” In fact, there weren’t yet laws agains sexual harassment or firing a person if she became pregnant. One such case went all the way to the Supreme Court, when an elementary school librarian became pregnant out of wedlock. But married women also faced this particular discrimination.
Based on observation, and creditable reports that Ashkenazi Jews have the highest intelligence in American subcultures, the Jewish families in our mid-states zip code did not appear as discouraging of female achievement; the fathers and mothers having faced egregious discrimination, they were more likely to encourage any daughters who wanted to become engineers, lawyers, professors or medical doctors, and I knew of several from my town.
Part of the so-called Youth Rebellion that led to the so-called Women’s Liberation and Sexual Revolution movements of the late ‘60s-early 70s was the demeaning attitudes towards women. Those movements were the first to demand that grown women be called “women” instead of “girls”, which had previously been the custom at all ages for married white women except in formal situations like church.
Other early movement goals with which conservatives can agree were “equal pay for equal work”, because there really was a substantial pay gap then, and “sisterhood is powerful”, which encouraged women to help one another in employment situations and not treat other women as competitors for the attention or patronage of a man. I got my first professional job at a corporation from a woman whose father had worked at corporations. She was one of several sisters, so her father was not threatened that one of them wanted to go into business. My father also worked at an international corporation, but actively discouraged me from “working outside the home,” another common buzzword of the day.
But I did take that job, made a lot of money for my company in my first year, and at my first yearly review was told by my boss that I would not receive a raise unless I spent the weekend with him in a motel when his wife was out of town, so I left I started my own business, which I pursued for the next 35 years, always having to prove myself to every new client. It took me ten years to break into the “boy’s club” and gain recognition, chiefly through entering competitions under my gender-non-specific name, “Albion", and having my work judged blindly. At job interviews from the 60s through the 90s, I heard interviewers say, “Oh, when we read your resume, we didn’t know you were a woman.” The only difference being that in the 60s, they would then add, “Sorry, we don’t want to hire a woman.” But in the 90s, this statement was against the law. The equal employment law had been signed in 1967, but it took many expensive lawsuits by women to have its enforceability penetrate to the consciousness of most employers across the country.
That said, I think Meghan and Harry are full of crap. I deplore their arrogance in the face of Elizabeth, one of the world’s most accomplished diplomats, who has been a woman of great sagacity in a top job of maximum visibility since the 1950s.
Plus, she and Harry have had Michelle and Barack in their ears since long before they married. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the Obamas cultivated them deliberately to foment insurrection in the Royal Family for political purposes. They perceived the weakest link.
