Awards

Hardly a month goes by without a new award being launched. Currently we have:

Entitlement Princess of the Month – awarded by an American gentleman:

J4MB presents the following awards:

Lying Feminist of the Month . The inaugural award was presented to gender feminist campaigner, authoress, and ray of sunshine, Kat Banyard. Subsequent award winners include Sandi Toksvig, spokeswoman for the Women’s Equality Party (twice), Laura Bates (twice), and Caroline Criado-Perez (thrice).

Lying Feminists of the Month

Whiny Feminist of the Month – presented to miserable feminists who manipulate people into doing whatever it takes to stop them whining. Presumably they were once girls who got what they wanted by whining, and they never stopped. They never grew into normal well-functioning adults. We recommend walking away from whining feminists until they become inaudible.

The inaugural award winner was – needless to say – Laura Bates, of The Everyday Whining Project. All the WWOTM awards are downloadable through this link:

Harpy – presented to influential feminists in politics, journalism, and elsewhere. The award uses the same image that was used for the cover of my book Feminism: the ugly truth. We presented Harriet Harman MP with a Harpy Lifetime Achievement in April 2012:

120401 HH Harpy Award, revised

Toady – presented to men in positions of influence who drive feminist agendas to advantage women and/or girls and thereby disadvantage men and/or boys, regardless of the consequences. David Cameron won the Toady of the Year award four years in succession – 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Our blog piece on his 2015 award, and a link to all his awards:

David Cameron’s ‘Toady of the Year’ awards

Maggie – presented in honour of Margaret Thatcher, the finest British peacetime prime minister of the 20th century, a non-feminist and a true meritocrat. It’s awarded to women who want to see women advancing through hard work and talent, rather than through individual and collective manipulation of institutions. One of the earliest winners of the award – in October 2012 – was the writer and broadcaster Angela Epstein:

Winston – presented in honour of Winston Churchill, the finest British wartime prime minister of the 20th century. It’s awarded to men in positions of influence who use that influence to stand up for men and boys in the face of feminist onslaughts. Only one male MP has won the award to date, the Conservative MP Philip Davies, again in October 2012:

We intend to introduce more awards over time. Feel free to contact me mike@j4mb.org.uk with suggestions.

Kat Banyard – inaugural ‘Lying Woman of the Month’ award winner

We’ve introduced a new award, Lying Woman of the Month. The inaugural award is being presented to Kat Banyard, gender feminist campaigner and authoress. She’s a worthy winner. We think you’ll enjoy the image on her certificate. The associated text:

Justice for men & boys (and the women who love them) is pleased to award the gender feminist campaigner and authoress Kat Banyard its inaugural Lying Woman of the Month award. The Guardian named her ‘the most influential feminist in the country’ in 2010. She was the founder of Feminista UK.(1) On 8 March 2013, in an interview with Jon Snow on Channel 4 News, she made a false claim about the frequency with which schoolgirls suffer sexual harassment. We publicly challenged her to retract the claim, and have since done so again, to no avail. A video of that interview, along with our challenge, may be found on our YouTube channel.(2) Details about the frequency with which schoolgirls and schoolboys suffer sexual harassment, and our challenge of Kat Banyard – along with material on other feminists, Laura Bates and Finn Mackay – can be found in an article (3) published by the most-visited and most influential men’s human rights advocacy website in the world, ‘A Voice for Men’ http://avoiceformen.com.

My public challenge of Laurie Penny – a sexist, racist, feminist journalist

Life doesn’t get much better for me than when I’m demonstrably misrepresented by prominent gender feminists. I was (erroneously) branded a liar – twice – by Julie Bindel in the course of my talk in the Durham University debate. It’s a memory I’ll treasure to the end of my days. A supporter has just drawn my attention to a piece written by Laurie Penny for the New Statesman, published online three days ago:

http://www.newstatesman.com/laurie-penny/2014/03/laurie-penny-what-drives-men-who-think-feminists-are-plotting-%E2%80%9Cwhite-genocide%E2%80%9D

The article appeared originally in the print edition, published 21 March.

I met Ms Penny sometime around Xmas. She’d contacted me while I was staying with friends in London, requesting an interview. When we met, I proffered my hand to shake hers, as is my custom. She visibly flinched but shook it anyway, as she had on the only previous occasion I’d met her, when she’d sat next to me on a bench at Covent Garden tube station. Initially I’d mistaken her for Kat Banyard, another gender feminist ray of sunshine, to whom J4MB presented the following award today:

140329 Inaugural Lying Woman of the Month award certificate – Kat Banyard

We had a coffee – she paid, I didn’t want to be accused in her article of ‘benevolent sexism’ – at a coffee shop of her choosing in London. I’d politely declined her earlier suggestion of meeting in a public house in Soho.

I was carrying a suitcase because I’d stayed the previous evening at a friend’s place in London, and was due to spend that evening at another friend’s place in London, before returning home the next day. My only reason for relating these mind-numbingly boring details is that they relate to areas in which Laurie Penny misrepresented me in her article, in the first of the following paragraphs:

Some months ago, in a nondescript London coffee shop, I met Mike Buchanan, a “men’s rights” activist and the leader of the small, single-issue party Justice for Men and Boys. The former procurement worker, in his mid-fifties, was dragging a suitcase – he described himself as between homes and without a stable job and was moving from one friend’s sofa to another’s that day. It was only a few years ago, when he was looking for work and “a huge woman” turned him down for a job in public-sector procurement, that Buchanan realised that women had too much power.

“I think men are trashed, as you go down the social scale,” was one of the first things he told me. “As you go down the social scale, men are totally disposable. A man on the minimum wage – what chance does he have?”

Now, what’s inaccurate in just one paragraph?

Far from being a ‘single issue’ party, we’re making proposals in 20 areas. Our public consultation document detailing those areas is downloadable from the menu.

The ‘job in public-sector procurement’ was a consulting assignment, as I explained to Ms. Penny.

‘… he described himself as between homes…’. No, I didn’t. I explained I’d stayed overnight with a friend in London (where I don’t live).

‘… he described himself as… moving from one friend’s sofa to another’s that day…’. I said I was staying overnight with another London-based friend that evening.

‘…he described himself as… without a stable job…’. No, I didn’t. I retired about four years ago from business consulting, and haven’t sought work since. I’ve been offered a number of well-paid consulting assignments over that period, and turned them all down.

Far more important than matters relating to me, however, is Laurie Penny’s conflation of men’s human rights with issues of race. Not once have I ever spoken or written about race during my advocacy of men’s and boys’ human rights. Penny appears to be presenting advocates of men’s human rights as racist, when they’re decidedly not. ‘A Voice for Men’ http://avoiceformen.com has published plenty of articles, videos etc. from non-white men, and continues to do so. A recent example is SparkyFister’s series on ‘I need feminism because…’. The eighth piece in the series:

I Need Feminism… MANSPLAINED Part 8

Penny is using a favourite tactic of hate-driven gender feminists, in a bid to pit men against one another along race lines. The tactic is both cynical and racist, and it’s rapidly becoming ineffective. But then all feminist tactics are rapidly become ineffective, pleasingly. Does she know how utterly ridiculous her analyses appear to people capable of thinking for themselves?

Shortly after I post this piece, I’ll be emailing Ms Penny a link to it. My public challenge to her:

Your recent New Statesman piece appears to suggest I’m homeless – is that what you meant by ‘between homes’? – and jobless, while I’m neither. I have a home, I’m living off my company pensions, and I haven’t once sought employment for the past four years. I challenge you to substantiate your assertions by 5pm next Thursday, 3 April, or publicly retract them, and apologise accordingly. Feel free to retract them and apologise by sending me an email mike@j4mb.org.uk and I’ll make the apology public on your behalf. If I don’t receive a retraction and an apology by the deadline – which is surely a racing certainty – I’ll add this to our long list of unanswered public challenges of prominent feminists.

I shall also be considering legal action on the grounds of defamation, and possibly other grounds.

Have a nice weekend.

Drunk driver Katy Homer spared jail after driving the wrong way on the M5 motorway

This woman could very easily have caused a multiple pile-up on a motorway, leading to considerable loss of life. SO WHY HAS SHE NOT BEEN JAILED? Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade, we read of women not being held properly accountable by the justice system. And people wonder why there are 80,000 men in British jails, and only 4,000 women…

Are women SHAMELESS? A story about golf… and more.

A depressing article, just published. One of our few remaining venerable institutions is going to cave in to political correctness:

http://www.mail.com/int/sports/other/2739262-ra-asks-members-to-allow-women-to-join.html#.1258-stage-set1-2

Women relentlessly leech on successful organisations run by men. There are few successful organisations (of any size) run by women, and men don’t leech on them – indeed women in such companies actively discriminate against men, as we know.

We keep being told women have most of the spending power in the UK and across the developed world. That’s mainly because they’re also spending their male partners’ money, but we have to ask, why does none of that money ever get spent on speculative ventures such as… oh, I don’t know… financing golf courses for women players? Because women don’t like risking their own money, and it’s easier for them to get what they want by whining and manipulating men. On the same theme:

Female winners at Wimbledon get the same prize money as the male winners, despite playing half as many games as the men. Unlike the male game, the female game is so undemanding that the top female players routinely win the doubles tournaments too, thereby earning more than the men.

The Scouts have long allowed girls to join, while the Guides still don’t allow boys to join. The (female) head of the Guides won one of our ‘Whiny Women of the Month’ awards.

Women campaign for increased female representation on corporate boards, despite knowing one consequence will be corporate financial decline.

Male entrepreneurs finance the start-up of many new ventures. When those ventures fail – as most do – the men are generally bankrupted as a result. But if those ventures succeed, and they become large and successful business? Women will turn up to demand cushy and remunerative non-executive directorships. The men can expect attractive women to suddenly find them attractive, while if they’re bankrupt, the same women will consider them pariahs.

Wherever we look, we see women manipulating institutions for the benefit of women. Invariably it’s men who let them get away with it. We’ve presented many of them – including David Cameron – with Toady awards.

There are just a few clubs now that require members to be male. The feminists bitch about them relentlessly, whilst celebrating the launch of clubs open only to women.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

Have women no damned shame?

Any decent woman must surely be mortified at what’s been done in her name for the past 30+ years, and continues to be done.

A harrowing but hilarious tale of an all-female company

In 2009 Samantha Brick revealed in the Daily Mail her no-holes-barred inside story of her experience of launching and trying to run an all-female television production company. It provides a fascinating insight into the reality of ‘women in the workplace’. My eternal thanks to a Scottish donor for pointing me to an audio file published last month. The narrator is a Scottish gentleman commenting on the story, line by line… and it’s a gem.

If you find the narration ‘freezes’ from time to time, as I did, just ‘rewind’ a second or two, and normal service should resume. It’s worth this small inconvenience to hear the whole piece, trust me. Don’t listen to the piece if you’re offended by occasional strong language, but otherwise, enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c87j-qDStUY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Our donor believes from the accent that the narrator is from Glasgow or Ayrshire. We’ve posted one or two of the man’s pieces before. They always crack us up, they’re hilarious precisely on account of being so damned honest.
