Our second public challenge of Laura Bates

A few weeks ago we publicly challenged Laura Bates over this lie:

Over two women per week are killed by partners or former partners in the UK.

Well, we all know how that worked out, with her ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award, and her shameless repetition of the lie on Free Speech Live. We thank Doris, a long-standing donor and supporter, for suggesting a new public challenge of this high-profile spokeswoman for modern feminism. I’ve just send Ms Bates an email with the following content:

Laura, good evening. Your response to our first public challenge was woeful, to say the least, unless of course you’re of view that the deaths of an average of 1.46 women per week by partners or former partners is ‘over two’? If so, do you have a name for this new branch of Mathematics? Batesian Mathematics, possibly?

It’s time for a new public challenge, and there are more to come. I refer you to our YouTube file of the recent Free Speech Live debate in which you appeared, lying and whining as usual. In the course of a series of highly questionable assertions, at 2:26 you claimed:

‘85,000 woman are raped every year’.

Please email me mike@j4mb.org.uk with the evidence behind your astonishing claim by 17:00 on 31 October. If you don’t do so, or your ‘evidence’ is nonsensical – e.g. the figure relates to rape allegations rather than convictions for rape – we’ll present you with our second ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award.

In the unlikely event that Special Snowflake responds to our challenge, we’ll post the details here.

Laura Bates: ‘Whiny Feminist of the Month’

The men’s human rights movement’s poster girl has done it again, winning this month’s ‘Whiny Feminist of the Month’ award for a second time. Her certificate, with an explanation of why she’s won this new award, is below. As we’ve said so many times,

Special Snowflake is the gift that keeps on giving.

Laura Bates’s apologists – Gormless Feminists of the Month

During our morning break this morning, I asked the team for suggestions for this month’s ‘Gormless Feminist of the Month’ award. Several names were put forward, but in the end all agreed that the apologists for Laura Bates’s continuing refusal to retract the lie which recently resulted in her becoming a ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ should be given the award. Two outstanding examples of those apologists – ‘SweetStrawberryShell’ and ‘WeeFaolan’ – posted mind-numbingly gormless comments in response to one of Herbert Purdy’s YouTube videos, and a link to that video is on Bates’s award certificate:

Laura Bates lying, and an interesting/ridiculous/hilarious defence of her doing so

A YouTube piece from Herbert Purdy concerning Laura Bates’s repeated lies about the number of women being killed by partners and ex-partners in the UK, followed in the comments section by an interesting – and ridiculous, and hilarious – defence of her doing so, from a particularly silly supporter (‘SweetStrawberryShell’). Her comments have to be read to be believed. Whinin’ Miss Bates – soon to become Whinin’ Mrs Bates, we offer our sincere condolences to her unfortunate fiancé, we have no idea what he did in a former life to deserve such a fate – has an army of silly supporters, as you’d imagine. Enjoy.

Our submission to the Home Office consultation on the strengthening of the law on domestic abuse

J4MB is fortunate in having supporters who are willing to devote time, energy, and expertise to support the party in a wide variety of ways. One was recently the author of a remarkable report on the institutional anti-male bias of public bodies, with a particular emphasis on how that leads inevitably to a lack of concern and support for male victims of partner violence. 94% of men who are abused by partners are abused by female partners. The public bodies and institutions include:

– Home Office

– Crown Prosecution Service

– the police

– Probation Service

– Ministry of Justice

– the judiciary

– Equality and Human Rights Commission

The supporter generously agreed to our request that we use his report as part of our submission to the Home Office’s consultation on strengthening the law on domestic abuse. Another key supporter and myself have been burning the midnight oil in recent times adding further material, and we believe the 118-page-long final report submitted an hour ago to the Home Office is strong in terms of both breadth and depth.

[Note: The report was later modified to a more visually appealing 154-page report.]

The other element of our submission to the Home Office was a copy of our recent public challenge of Theresa May, Home Secretary, to hold a public inquiry – here.

Please let us know what you think of our submission, by sending in your comments. If you’d like to demonstrate your support for our work in a more tangible way, we invite you to make a donation, possibly ordering an individually numbered J4MB wristband, for which we ask a minimum contribution of just £5.00 (inc p&p). You can make a donation and/or order wristbands through this link.

Thank you for your support. Without it, J4MB wouldn’t exist. With your support, we’ll be around for many years to come. I’m personally committed to fighting general elections until at least 2030, when I’ll be 72 – whether as leader, or otherwise.

It’s been a long day.

Good night.

Our public challenge of Mark Carney, governor, Bank of England – Round 2

We recently challenged Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, over a truly ludicrous claim he’d made in the course of a speech at the TUC:

Hiring more women in senior roles makes us much, more effective.

We wrote an article for AVfM which included a link to the letter in which we’d publicly challenged Carney – here.

Our challenge was passed onto Roger Beaton, of the bank’s ‘Public Information and Enquiries Group’, for a response. Apparently the best this hapless official could manage was this embarrassing response, so we’re about to reply with this.

Woman abusing man in Sri Lanka

The latest in a series of videos demonstrating feminist claims that men’s violence against women is culturally sanctioned, are nonsense. All their claims are nonsense, of course, so that probably didn’t saying. As usual with feminist claims, the truth is precisely the opposite. In many situations – both in the domestic environment, and in public – women can abuse men without fear of reprisal.
