Dina Rickman, our new ‘Whiny Women of the Month’

June 19, 2014 By Mike Buchanan 1 Comment

We’ve consulted with a number of supporters, asking them to suggest candidates for this month’s ‘Whiny Woman of the Month’ award. The most popular choice was Dina Rickman, a ‘journalist’ who appeared with me on a panel discussion about ‘subtle sexism’ on London Live TV a few weeks ago – our YouTube file of the discussion is here. At one point I explained that British men and boys are disadvantaged in at least 20 areas in the UK, I was happy to outline them if asked to, and I then challenged the three ladies (including the presenter) to identify even one area where British women and girls are disadvantaged. Ms Rickman then came out with this gem:

The gender pay gap.

Seriously, she did. We’ve rarely had so many comments about one of our pieces on YouTube, as we had following this piece. A supporter, who creates our ‘Memes of the Week’, prepared this meme in honour of Ms Rickman’s comment. Her award certificate is here.

About Mike Buchanan

Mike Buchanan is a British men's rights activist (MRA) and anti-feminist. He was the founder and former leader (2013-20) of this party, and handed over the leadership to Elizabeth Hobson in May 2020.

J4MB remains the only party in the English-speaking world which is resolutely anti-feminist and campaigns for the human rights of men and boys on many fronts. Those rights are assaulted by states' actions and inactions in many areas, almost always to privilege women and girls. 20 such areas were explored in the party's 2015 general election manifesto.

Mike was a business executive for 30 years before taking early retirement in 2010. He's written 10 books and is also a publisher. His last three books have been concerned with gender and gender politics, the most recent being Feminism: the ugly truth (2016).

In 2012 Mike launched The Anti-Feminism League and Campaign for Merit in Business. His Wikipedia page was created by a feminist, and remains largely the work of feminists.

Mike is the creator of the website Laughing at Feminists.

He has sole responsibility for organizing future International Conferences on Men's Issues (ICMIs) in Europe and North America, and was a key organizer of the London conferences in 2016, 2018 and the 120-speaker online conference in 2020.
