Yeoman Warder Moira Cameron, left, poses with male colleagues, at the Tower of London, Monday Sept. 3, 2007. Cameron, 42, was the first female protector of the Crown Jewels, famously known as Beefeaters of the Tower of London, since the corps of Tower guards was created in 1485. It is revealed Monday Nov. 2, 2009, that Two male Beefeaters at the Tower of London have been suspended for allegedly bullying their female colleague, Cameron, and a third is subject to an internal investigation over alleged harassment.

ReplyDeleteI don't think she should be there, but at the same time the poor woman should not be bullied simply because she is there. Has British manhood really degenerated so far they can't even handle something like this in a sensible manner?
ReplyDeleteAll this kind of behaviour will do is inflame public opinion against the male Beefeaters and god knows where it could lead too. Calls for more female Beefeaters to even out the ratio would be a safe bet.
I would reserve judgment until the details are forthcoming as to what exactly is considered "bullying".
ReplyDeleteRegardless, this (women Beefeaters) is Jacobin egalitarianism come to roost.
I am disgusted at the conduct of the male beefeaters who have bullied this woman, who has spent 20 years service in her Majesty's Armed forces. They have brought disgrace and disrepute to their honourable position.
ReplyDeleteAs Jeff said, one should be careful until one determines what is meant by 'bullying'. People, especially feminists and other interest groups, are very touchy about anything, and are prone to blow things out of proportion.
ReplyDeleteWho knows what went on, but if the bullying was real the men deserve our hearty contempt.
ReplyDeleteTo anybody who may defend the bully boys, think of the courage it took to begin with to be the first female, then to have some of the so called men harass her to the point of her losing every hair on her body. Think of the last two years of broken sleep and worry never knowing what was coming her way next, all this on top of proving herself as an equal of the men to the powers that be within the Tower. This courage which she has shown is the same courage that has been shown in past battlefields and in the deserts and mountains of present day. She deserves a medal not harassment from those males that have been guilty, call themselves men I doubt that.
ReplyDeleteJust another example of a woman sticking her nose in a man only establishment. She is not wanted at the tower by the men working there. She should leave period.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe that this woman deserves this honourable position, and should not be bullied. As a male Royal Canadian Sea Cadet, I have noticed the increase in uniformed female officers and their importance and excellence of their duties in the benefit of our ship (stone frigate), H.M.C.S. Ontario (SCSTC). Now that the British society has changed to allow woman to leave the private sphere and lead in society, I believe women should be able to receive this position. As well, even as proud, loyal Canadian of British descent, MALES DO NOT HAVE TO RULE ALL THE PARADE POSITIONS. Both my executive officer at my Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps and my executive officer at my Sea Cadet Summer Training Centre, H.M.C.S. Ontario, are female and they fulfill their duties well with prestige and excellence.
