A new quotation for the J4MB website

October 13, 2014 By Mike Buchanan 3 Comments

For some time we’ve had a Mahatma Gandhi quotation in the top right hand corner of the J4MB website:

First they ignore you, the they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.

I thought it was time for a new quotation in that spot, and after consulting the best source for this purpose – Buchanan’s Dictionary of Quotations for right-minded people – I settled on one from Victor Hugo:

An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.

The line is contained in Histoire d’un Crime, published in 1877.

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.
