I frequently check out the British website ‘The Rights of Man’ (‘TROM’)http://therightsofman.typepad.co.uk for items which might otherwise escape my attention. This morning they’re covering an intriguing story about the rise in the number of homeless people in London in recent years, and they point to a detail in a press release issued by an organisation concerned with the homeless in London, Broadway. Here’s the press release:

Links to the full report and summary may be found on the TROM website. The press release states that 6,437 ‘people’ were seen sleeping rough on the streets of London during 2012/13, and that 786 (12%) were female. What wasn’t deemed worthy of mention in the press release?

5,651 (88%) were male

A remarkable video of a young British women has just been posted on ‘A Voice for Men’:

My piece on the House of Commons report on ‘Women in the Workplace’ prompted a supporter to post a comment. He suggested the committee rejected the evidence put forward by Catherine Hakim and myself because it didn’t follow the official ‘narrative’ concerning women in the workplace. He then suggested I watch a 13-minute-long video titled, ‘The Narrative’, presented by an American, Bill Whittle, of ‘Pajamas TV’ (‘PJTV’) http://www.pjtv.com. My thanks to him for this suggestion. The video is worth the investment of just 13 minutes for anyone interested in this important subject, which effectively controls what the mass media reports and – more importantly – what it doesn’t:

An interesting report from the BBC:

Until today we were told the four senior people allegedly involved in the cover-up at the Care Quality Commission (‘CQC’) were ‘Mr E’, ‘Mr F’. ‘Mr G’ and ‘Mr J’. All are, in fact, women:

Cynthia Bower – former chief executive

Jill Finney – deputy chief executive

Louise Dineley – head of regulatory risk and quality

Anna Jefferson – media manager

As far as I’m concerned, these women are innocent until and unless found guilty of the allegations. But it’s significant that the individuals were initially presented as being men. It flies in the face of the assertion – confidently and frequently made by feminists and others – that we could expect higher levels of integrity if there were more ‘women at the top’.

Earlier today the government published the report of the House of Commons inquiry into ‘Women in the Workplace’, to which Campaign for Merit in Business http://c4mb.wordpress.com gave written and oral evidence. The chairman of the inquiry was Adrian Binley, a Labour MP. Not that his political convictions need necessarily matter – after all, the appalling House of Lords inquiry ‘Women on Boards’ last year was chaired by a Conservative peer, Baroness O’Cathain. Today’s report is here:

It’s an interesting report, to say the least. Our critique is here:

An excellent article just published by ‘A Voice for Men’:

It’s good to see the Telegraph continuing to give exposure to men’s and boys’ human rights issues. Glen Poole penned the following insightful piece for today’s edition:

It’s heartening to see a decline in Australian men’s support for their misandrous Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. A sure sign of increasing gender consciousness. An article in the Telegraph starts:

Ms Gillard has suffered an eight per cent drop in male support, polls showed, and is facing a devastating defeat at the September election. Labour trails the opposition by a disastrous 43 to 57 per cent – a margin that would cost the
party 30 of its 71 MPs.

A good start to the week.
