Hoping that the British will take up the fight against feminism is analogous to ....

expecting a patient with a gangrenous limb to cut his own limb off.

It has to be done, and done by a female and a foreigner too. Some things can only be done by a foreigner.

Jonah and the Whale by Pieter Lastman

Unlike Jonah, I came willingly to this country and arrived at Heathrow Airport, and did not board another vessel going the other way until the crew threw me off.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus makes a reference to Jonah when he was asked for a miraculous sign by the Pharisees and teachers of the Law. Jesus implies that Jonah's restoration after three days inside the great whale prefigures His own resurection.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
—Gospel of Matthew, chapter 12 verses 39-41
