Month: March 2014
Dan Perrins: ‘NOTICE GIVEN: If you lie about men, I WILL expose your lies.’
I’m looking forward to meeting many male and female MHRAs at the conference on men’s issues in Detroit (27/28 June). Among the ones I’m keen to meet is a Canadian, Dan Perrins – ‘Danny Boy’. His latest video (10:54) has just been published by AVfM, and it’s worth watching all the way through. You wouldn’t want to be an anti-male judge or lawyer in Southern Ontario, with Danny Boy looking on.

Our public challenge of Dickie James, Board member of Women’s Aid
[Note updated March 8, 2014: this blog piece continues to attract a large number of ‘hits’, but no response to our challenge yet from Dickie James, which doesn’t surprise us. We’ve never had a substantive response to any of our public challenges of prominent feminists (or their male collaborators). These people are utterly shameless. Our list of challenges has become a lengthy one:
https://j4mbdotorgdotuk.wordpress.com/our-public-challenges-to-feminists/ ]
[Note added 7.3.14: in the light of our challenge not having received a response from Ms James, the content of this blog piece has just been published by ‘A Voice for Men’:
Our thanks to a supporter, Tim Brown, for alerting us to this matter. It concerns Dickie James, who has the following profile on her Twitter account @DickieCJames:
CEO of @StaffsWomensAid. Board member of @WomensAid. Tweeting own views. Mother. Feminist animal lover. Writer. Hate injustice. Partial to G&T.
Ms James ‘favorited’ a tweet posted by ‘Radical Feminist’, whose Twitter account is @RadicalFeminist.
[Note added 21:35, March 2, 2014: a supporter has just informed us that Ms James’s ‘favoriting’ of the tweet has been retracted, following the publication of our public challenge. Perhaps a response to the challenge is forthcoming? Don’t hold your breath. Our experience tells us these people are utterly shameless.]
[Note added 17:20, March 3, 2014: I posted some perfectly polite comments in response to the tweet on the @RadicalFeminist Twitter account, and I’ve just learned, ‘You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user’. Quelle surprise. As Corporal Jones used to say in Dad’s Army with respect to the ‘cold steel’ of Army bayonets, “They don’t like it up ’em. They do NOT like it up ’em!”]
[Note added 17:36, March 3, 2014: I clicked the button to ‘follow’ Dickie James’s Twitter account @DickieCJames some hours ago, and just logged onto her account to see what’s being written by her and her followers, in the light of the very high number of ‘hits’ this piece is continuing to attract, hour after hour. I’ve just learned, ‘You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user’. Encore, quelle surprise! As Corporal Jones used to say in Dad’s Army…]
‘Radical Feminist’ tweeted a link to an interesting blog piece (published in June 2013) about fathers and mothers bonding with their babies. The blog piece referred to a study which reported that fathers’ oxytocin levels were raised by playing with their babies. Oxytocin has been describes as the ‘feel good’ hormone. Both men and women – and those they interact with – benefit from its impact on mood. ‘Radical Feminist’ linked to the blog piece with this line:
Abusing children raises fathers’ oxytocin levels
‘Playing’ has been twisted by her man-hating mind into ‘abusing’.
[Note added 17:40, 7 March 2014: the author of the piece which is being misrepresented by that line, John Hoffman, a leading Canadian expert on parenting, has just tweeted the following comment, as you can see on the original @Radical feminist tweet:
John Hoffman @UncommonJohn 17s
@RadicalFeminist Slanderous! This completely misrepresents the message of my blog. Behaviour of dads in that study was in no way abusive! ]
Tim Brown emailed us the following:
Just wanted to share with you an exceptionally offensive and misleading tweet by a typically hateful radfem. I know that’s not exactly news, and attention seeking by provocation is probably deliberate from a radfem. But I think sometimes what is notable is who favourites or retweets this sort of content, it can be revealing.
https://twitter.com/RadicalFeminist/status/439702968724905984
If you read the blog entry she has linked to, you will see her tweet is a remarkably sick, twisted and wilfully false interpretation of the research mentioned on the blog. Anyway, the tweet was favorited by Dickie James, a Board member of Women’s Aid, and to my mind it’s worth calling out and drawing attention to someone in her position that’s supporting such an obscene level of dishonesty and open hatred towards men. Here’s her profile: https://twitter.com/DickieCJames. Might be small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but it really disturbed me as a father so I thought I’d share.
Also, I think groups like Women’s Aid do have a platform of power and influence which is often wielded in a way that is rarely questioned, mainly because the surface of their cause like most charities seems sympathetic.
I’m thinking particularly of whenever shared custody policy is talked about, followed by the usual scaremongering thrown around by feminists suggesting it would pose a risk to women and children. The source of that type of excuse used for obstruction seems to be cited from groups like Women’s Aid. So in that sense I’d regard them as worthy of challenging when they’re expressing alignment with the sort of extremely malicious statement found in this tweet.
We agree with our supporter. Women’s Aid do need challenging, and far more than they’re accustomed to with the mainstream media. For the time being, though, we’re about to email a link to this piece to Staffordshire Women’s Aid, with the following message to Dickie James:
Ms James, we publicly challenge you (1) to apologise for having favorited the hate-driven tweet which is the subject of this blog piece, and (2) to condemn ‘Radical Feminist’ for having misrepresented fathers playing with their children, as abusing them. You can email me at mike@j4mb.org.uk. Thank you.
We’ll also email a link to the piece to Polly Neate, CEO of Women’s Aid.
Female sex offenders
Anyone relying on the mainstream media for an understanding of sexual offences would surely conclude they’re overwhelmingly a male-on-female phenomenon, and that where women are involved, it’s as accomplices of evil men. As usual with gender-related matters, the mainstream media are not to be relied upon. The scale of sexual offences carried out by women has long been known to be enormous, as has the fact that over half of all convicted rapists were abused when they were children by one or more women (usually their mothers). The mainstream media’s and justice system’s disinterest in the scale on which women commit sexual offences continues to damage vast numbers of both men and women, decade after decade.
A very good source of material on the subject of female sex offenders is the American website http://female-offenders.com. It’s worth exploring in detail – the resources available are highly impressive, to say the least – but if you’re pressed for time and have only a few minutes to spare, we recommend you read this:
BBC – a job creation scheme run by women, for women
[Note added 11.3.14: This piece has just been published on ‘A Voice for Men’]
Have you ever wondered why the BBC’s output is so relentlessly female-friendly and clearly designed to appeal to women? Even when men are presenting programmes, or are the key characters in documentaries etc., it’s as if all the viewers are assumed to be women. I’m a fan of the TV chefs ‘The Hairy Bikers’, but it has to be said that ever more of the content of their BBC shows is information-light and entertainment-rich. Even the most factually based BBC pieces are reliably associated with an emotional angle. The Hairy Bikers are regularly put into situations clearly designed to humiliate them. In their latest series, in one episode, they dress up as sumo wrestlers. The suspicion must be that female TV executives are humiliating men for the amusement of female viewers.
A number of people have alerted me to the increasing domination of women in the television sector, and it’s not unique to the BBC. Partly because the BBC isn’t a commercial organisation, women have been enabled to manipulate their way to senior positions.
The following link will take you to the latest edition of the Hairy Bikers’ latest series, The Hairy Bikers’ Asian Adventure. The credits start at 58:33. The programme will be available on iPlayer (in the UK, at least) until 27 March.
Here’s a breakdown of the roles of the people associated with the programme:

The most important (and presumably highly-paid) jobs are being done by women, while the technical jobs are being done by men.
As Steve Moxon outlined in The Woman Racket (2008), women display a very strong same gender preference when recruiting and promoting staff, while men don’t, contrary to feminist conspiracy theories such as the ‘glass ceiling’. Steve and I were members of a panel which gave evidence to a House of Commons inquiry (‘Women in the Workplace’) in November 2012:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwqTi6HN0pM
Two women were on the panel. One was the sociologist Dr Catherine Hakim, whose paper on Preference Theory, published in 2000, we cite all the time. Her research showed that while four in seven British men are ‘work-centred’, only one in seven British women is. And that isn’t changing over time, despite feminists’ conviction it is.
The other woman on the panel was Heather McGregor, who for many years has been the owner and Chief Executive of Taylor Bennett, a London-based executive recruitment company. We challenged a claim she made during her evidence at the inquiry, concerning the financial impact of increasing the number of women on corporate boards in Norway (following legislated gender quotas, in 2005) and she altered her evidence (as published in the final report) accordingly.
Ms McGregor was a founder member of Helena Morrisey’s 30% Club, which aims to increase the proportion of women on major corporate boards. A third of FTSE100 chairmen are members. A reasonable person might think that Ms McGregor is keen on gender equality, so let’s look at the gender balance of her own company:

Of the 17 members of staff, just three are men. In the past it’s been just one or two.
