Janice Fiamengo is a professor at the University of Ottawa. This video is worth catching for anyone deeply concerned by the feminist invasion and manipulation of academia – and we all should be.

We recently submitted a 118-page report to the Home Office consultation on strengthening the law on domestic abuse. With his permission, we can today reveal the report was the work of William Collins, who did all the research, and deserves rich praise for his work and his clear-mindedness. William is already well-known to followers of this site, as the man behind two impressive websites – mra-uk and Red Pill UK.

Herbert Purdy, who’s also well-known to followers of this site due to his website and substantive comments on a number of J4MB blog pieces, contributed useful additional material, and he’s just much improved the graphic design of the report – here. We thank him, too. With contributors like these fine men, we’re confident J4MB will go from strength to strength.

Good news.

We’re calling for academics and students to stand up and fight the corruption of academia by feminists working in academia itself, in funding bodies, in the Department for Education, and elsewhere. For many years feminists have been corrupting academia for ideological reasons, but we’re convinced they can be stopped. They MUST be stopped for the sake of academia, and all it should stand for – independence of thought, excellence, and so much more.

A few examples of feminist corruption:

1. The Athena SWAN initiative forces research organisations to increase the proportion of female researchers, in order to be eligible for grants. It’s nothing less than an assault on male scientists. Last year we posted this blog piece and our associated briefing paper is here.

2. Women have long been less inclined than men to study STEM subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics – and in turn to pursue STEM careers. The reasons for women’s reluctance to enter these fields have long been well understood, but for feminists this remains ‘a problem to be solved’. The government is spending £30 million persuading young women into engineering, a career few women wish to enter, and female postgraduate engineering students at Brunel University are entitled to a sponsorship of £22,750 solely on account of their gender – both stories are here.

3. Professional bodies representing those working in STEM (and other) professions are actively campaigning against the interests of the class that makes up a sizeable majority of their members – men. In September 2013 we publicly challenged Nick Baveystock, director general of the Institution of Civil Engineers, over the matter – here. He didn’t respond to the challenge.

4. Feminist politicians and feminists working in government departments ensure that research which doesn’t support their preferred ideological direction is ignored. An obvious example is research into intimate partner violence. For many years a large and expanding body of evidence has shown that women are as physically aggressive as men, or more aggressive, towards intimate partners. This evidence has been resolutely ignored by the government, which continues to form policies (and allocate funding) based upon the feminist ‘male coercion theory’ of domestic violence – the ‘Duluth model’ – which has been conclusively shown by researchers to have no basis in reality. We outlined the evidence base in our 154-page submission to a recent Home Office consultation exercise on strengthening the law on domestic abuse.

5. An associated organisation, Campaign for Merit in Business, opposes the government’s policy direction of increasing female representation on corporate boards, because evidence from longitudinal studies shows that one consequence that can be expected is corporate financial decline. The C4MB briefing paper on the matter can be downloaded through this link. Despite C4MB having presented this evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries, the government has an objective of forcing FTSE350 companies to have gender-balanced boards. As we explained in a piece some months ago, people owning FTSE350 shares should sell them NOW.

What can academics and students do to fight back against feminist corruption of academia, funding bodies, and government departments? In the short term, we believe there’s a need for an online ‘meeting point’ for them to communicate with one another. It may be that individuals will need to hide their identities, for a time at least. We’ve given this matter a good deal of thought, and we’re convinced that the launch of a website for academics and students could prove to be the catalyst for effective challenging of feminists in academia and elsewhere. I invite you to email me mike@j4mb.org.uk if you might have an interest in launching and driving such an initiative. We’ll do what we can to give the website publicity. Some days this website attracts thousands of ‘hits’, so we’re in a good position to help you get your messages out there.

It’s time for academics and students to stand up to feminist ideologues.

If there were Oscars for makers of audio pieces on gender issues, 6oodfella, a fine man from the west of Scotland – Glasgow, possibly? – would surely win a number. I hope to enjoy a few pints and whisky chasers with him one day. He’s produced a lot of inspired work, but this brief piece published by AVfM in December 2013 – it’s less than four minutes long – should give you a flavour of his output. Be sure to subscribe to his channel and show your appreciation.

We’ve been surprised but delighted by the number of people who’ve enjoyed the ‘Big Red’ piece we posted earlier this evening. We thought you might also enjoy an inspired cartoon piece we posted 18 months ago, an interview of ‘Wilhelmina Ballbreaker’, a character surely inspired by Hillary Clinton. After the general election next May, when we have more time, we hope to start producing pieces in a similar vein. Enjoy.

One of the most-viewed videos on our YouTube channel is a video recorded and edited by Steve Brule. It consists of footage of a Canadian feminist, ‘Big Red’, in full flow. Not long ago someone posted a comment with her alleged name and home address, but all comments on this channel are moderated, and we promptly discarded it.

The man to whom ‘Big Red’ is addressing her comments is a bemused-looking Dan Perrins – ‘Danny Boy’. He’s a well-known Canadian MRA, and an all-round nice guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Detroit conference. I imagine he could scarcely believe the comedy gold that was pouring out of Big Red’s mouth. It’s a short video, and the ending is a gem. Enjoy.

In my book Feminism: the ugly truth I included a short chapter on Tracey Emin, the utterly talentless ‘artist’ who is the Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy. No similarly incompetent man could hope to be given such a position. What times we live in. The chapter was titled:

Are some feminists, e.g. Tracey Emin, a pain in the Arts?

My thanks to John for pointing me to an excellent piece by Quentin Letts in last Friday’s Daily Mail. Enjoy.

For many years boys have been disadvantaged, and girls advantaged, by the state education system. It’s one of the reasons that in British universities today, three out of five students are women. William Collins (mra-uk) has some important things to say about the phenomenon – here.        

One for the ‘You couldn’t make this s*** up!’ file. Our thanks to Sally for alerting us to a lady customer’s 5-star review of Laura Bates’s book on Amazon. She posted it two days ago, 18 October:

Such a chilled out mix of music- well worth listening to! Very affordable. I have used it when going to sleep and calming down my 4 year old!
