Tom Golden is a highly respected MHRA who gave a well-received talk at the recent Detroit conference, and he’s just written a short but insightful article about the misrepresentation of his Detroit talk by Salon.com. It’s well worth reading. We shouldn’t wonder that as a profession, journalists today are regarded by the public with even more contempt than politicians. It’s little wonder the mainstream media is in relentless decline.

‘I hope our Downing Street catwalk inspires young girls to go into politics’: Esther McVey says the Cabinet’s new women ministers can be ‘role models’
Give me strength. Esther McVey MP showed an embarrassing amount of leg yesterday in her walk along Downing Street, and now she says it was to inspire women to go into politics – story here.
Margaret Thatcher and Barbara Castle must be turning in their graves at this display of utter vacuousness.
And if Esther McVey’s correct, and it does inspire women to go into politics, would electors want shallow narcissistic women to represent them?
Remind me again – why do we ‘need’ more female MPs?
Max Hastings on the cabinet reshuffle: ‘A shabby day’s work which Cameron will live to regret’
The best critique I’ve read so far of the cabinet reshuffle is here.
Female scientists quit their jobs
Our thanks to Herbert for pointing us to this insightful article.
David Cameron’s cabinet reshuffle – in line with expectations
What would be the point of analysing the latest cabinet reshuffle in detail? Dave’s done exactly as expected – replaced a number of middle-aged well-qualified experienced male cabinet ministers with younger poorly-qualified women. Why do I say ‘poorly-qualified’? Because if these women were well-qualified, they’d certainly be in the cabinet already.
Perhaps the worst example is the replacement of one of the few conviction politicians in the cabinet, Michael Gove, Education Secretary, by Nicky Morgan, Minister for Women and Equalities. We note she retains her ‘Women and Equalities’ portfolio. All government policy directions with a possible gender angle already favour women and/or girls over men and/or boys, so we can’t imagine that portfolio can take up more than five minutes in her day. We note media speculation that Gove’s policy direction will remain unchanged as she’ll be supported by two ‘Goveites’, Nick Gibb and Nick Boles. In other words, Morgan will bring nothing to the position. She’ll be yet another overpaid talking head, at least for the next 10 months.
6oodfella: ‘Yvette Cooper is a hateful bigot’
The output of 6oodfella, a Scottish blogger, is always worth catching. His YouTube channel is here. His critique of Yvette Cooper’s recent Independent article is here. Please don’t listen if you’re offended by strong language.
In 2010 6oodfella published one of his celebrated cartoon pieces The difference between a feminist and an intelligent women. Enjoy.
Men’s Health Forum: ‘More than four in ten of the UK’s unpaid carers are male’
Whenever caring is discussed, it’s generally with the unstated assumption that almost all caring is carried out by women, and from this assumption flows another, that women are intrinsically more caring than men. So we were interested to learn of a new report published by the Men’s Health Forum.
Angry Harry: ‘Who rules over us?’
An illuminating podcast – the first in a series on the topic of ‘Who rules over us?’ – from the original MHRM online activist, ‘Angry Harry’.
Josh O’Brien (17) comments on Yvette Cooper’s wish to have schoolboys indoctrinated with feminism
At just 17, Josh O’Brien is already making waves. People like him – young men as well as young women – should make us all optimistic for the future. His latest short video has just been published by AVfM. I hope to see him presenting at an AVfM conference one day.
Herbert Purdy comments on Suzanne Moore’s call for a feminist political party
As always, very interesting comments from Mr Purdy. They take up the remainder of this post.
“The formation of a feminist party would be a good thing IMHO.
For one thing, it would bring the whole shebang out into the open where it could be engaged, policy-by-policy: its statistics put under forensic scrutiny, and its society-splitting agenda exposed for what it really is.
For another, it would split the women’s vote of the main parties and weaken them at the ballot box. That would concentrate the minds of their leaders and followers and precipitate the search for support from men and from balanced women who are also suffering from feminism (their sons being disadvantaged in education, having their male natures pathologised by rabid feminists in schools, being put at severe risk of rape allegations at university; their brothers deprived of their kids, and their homes, by the courts, and so on).
The formation of a feminist political party would free up the political agenda and remove the slavish kowtowing of the parties to the women’s vote allowing them to adopt policies based on common sense and the good of all, rather than this overly powerful women’s movement, and drive political policy in a new direction. It would also split the Labour Party’s vote and cause it to realise the entryist nature of feminism and what Tony Blair and his feminists ‘Babes’ (plus ‘er indoors of course!) did to it.
Bring it on is what I say. I look forward to the day when democracy can get its teeth into this vile, behind-the-scenes ideology and expose it for what it really is – a Marxist infiltration into the entire political system whose intent is to destroy men’s power in society, especially fatherhood (which is the real meaning of patriarchy), marriage as the basic building block of democratic, capitalist society, and place an elite of highly ideologically motivated, highly dangerous women in the seats of power in our land (both politically and in wider society, such as business), from where they can conform us all to a new social order, based on their own twisted ideas of ‘equality’ – which really means superiority of women .
Just look at Yvette Cooper’s latest pronouncement for proof of that. She is inviting the creation of a system in which boys are indoctrinated into an ideology whose sole intent is men’s subjugation. Now that really is evil. What Karen Woodall said was right on the nail. Here is a woman speaking the truth with guts and precision. Thank God!:
Women like you have created a world in which educating boys to be ashamed of their masculinity is seen as desirable instead of cruel and about equality instead of what it is, an oppressive, discriminatory reality. As parents and grandparents, practitioners and ordinary people, we will hold you to account for your crimes against our children and our grandchildren. I hope I stay alive long enough to see the day.
Well, amen to that. I do too. I would dance for joy to see a series of trials of these child-abusers, caught in the same web of hysteria they are currently creating; where a man no longer dare touch a child in love, tenderness, compassion, and fatherly care.
So, bring it on. Let the likes of Cooper and Harman and their fellow-travellers encourage the formation of a Feminist Party, and support it – perhaps even head it? Then we will get feminism out onto a battlefield where it can be engaged and finally defeated.”
