A moving, insightful, and important short article.

Women Against Feminism. I’d struggle to think of a more heartening sequence of three words. An interesting article by August Lovenskiolds, just published.

An insightful new blog piece from Karen Woodall, whose pieces are always worth reading.

While women are all too often above the law, the treatment of men by the justice system continues to be brutal, and we see one tragic consequence in this article in the Daily Mirror. Shamefully, the headline in the paper starts, ‘Lag gouges eyes out…’. It’s as if he’s barely human, and the lack of concern for the man over his consequent blindness is shocking.

Over 70% of male prisoners have at least one mental health issue – many have more than one – and the lack of treatment these men receive whilst in custody is a national disgrace.

Our thanks to Stephen for alerting us to yet another miscarriage of justice.

My thanks to the good people at AVfM for this video of my speech in Detroit, and the associated transcript.

We get regular reports about ISPs blocking access to this site, and many other men’s human rights websites. Our thanks to Ian for informing us that Sky is currently blocking access to this site, having placed it in the ‘Weapons, violence, gore and hate’ category. We wonder who reported it as being a ‘hate site’. Or possibly not.

The related ‘screen grab’:

If you don’t laugh at this video you’re probably a feminist, in which case you won’t be laughing often, anyway.

The theme of the video reminded me of a fringe meeting at the Conservative spring conference two or three years ago. I was in the audience in a meeting run by the think-tank Politeia, where various speakers were wittering on about the ‘need’ for more women on corporate boards. I asked the first question in the Q&A session, enquiring why there’s a ‘need’ for more women on boards when longitudinal studies clearly show that one consequence would be declines in corporate financial performance. The ladies in the audience – and the meeting organisers – didn’t look too happy at my question. The responses from two or three speakers was unmemorable, probably the usual guff about the ‘need’ to realise women’s potential.

Later in the Q&A session a lady in the audience stated that as a black woman, she faced a ‘double-glazed glass ceiling’. Assuming she was making a joke, I laughed out loud. When I was the focus of a dozen women with expressions suggesting they’d just chewed on thick lemon slices, I realised my assumption had been false. Happy days.

It was a pleasure meeting two authors, Suzanne Venker and Helen Smith, in Detroit. Suzanne has just published an article from one of the fine ladies contributing to the ‘Women Against Feminism’ website. Enjoy.

It’s so good to see young, smart, strong women saying they don’t need feminism, and stating why. They’re publicly rejecting the odious ideology which encourages women (and men) to hate men and boys, an ideology with narratives about men and boys which conflict strongly with the natures of the men and boys they know and love. These independent-minded women are so different from professional whine merchants such as Laura Bates, Caroline Criado-Perez, Laurie Penny, Kat Banyard, and countless other miserable women of their type.
