Our thanks to Alan for spotting this on Hattie Harpy’s website. She’s a big fan of what Alison Saunders is doing, introducing the assumption of guilt for men prepared to take on the huge legal risk of having sex with women, including their wives. What are the chances she’d be in support of what Alison Saunders is doing? And how exactly does her husband, the unremittingly glum Jack Dromey MP, prove he’s obtained enthusiastic consent from Hattie before they have… er… conjugal relations? The mind boggles. To be fair to the poor man, of course he’s unremittingly glum. He’s been married to HH for 33 years, and surely deserves a medal for sparing the rest of mankind from such a tragic fate.

This seems as good a time as any to publish again a famous piece from the Daily Mash, ‘Harman’s husband urged to s*** her’. This link will take you to six or seven Daily Mash pieces including the following:

Women still face discrimination, says jumped-up cow

Labour MPs to rally behind unbearable, screeching hag

A strong piece on male suicide from Peter Wright. Between 1982 and 2012, the male:female suicide rate differential rose from 1.69 to 3.3. Not only does the government take no interest in the matter, it is the prime driver of male suicide by denying fathers access to children, denying support to male victims of domestic violence, driving up female employment and therefore male unemployment – although male unemployment has long been higher than female unemployment – and in many other ways, as outlined in our election manifesto.

Within 18 hours of going on sale as an e-book, the manifesto has already become the #10 bestseller in the Civil Rights & Liberties category on Amazon.co.uk. All profits will go to support our campaigning.

Another outstanding article from Belinda Brown, for The Conservative Woman. Good to note a link to William Collins’s work (a piece on women in STEM subjects).

I don’t think she links to it in this article, but some time ago Belinda wrote a strong piece on how rising female employment is a driver of male unemployment. There’s a link to it on pp18,19 of the election manifesto and a direct link here. Last August she published a fascinating paper on Reviewing gendered employment policies which she does link to in this new piece.

Let me start by saying it doesn’t matter whether or not you own an e-reader – for example, a Kindle, iPad, Nook, Kobo, Sony Reader – for this news to be of potential interest to you. Most of the companies who sell e-readers – for example Amazon, with respect to Kindle – offer excellent free-to-download software so you can read e-books on laptops, tablets etc. I’ve only ever read Kindle books on my PC, and the software is outstanding. I expect the same is true for other platforms.

Our 2015 election manifesto is 80 pages long, and not available in a print edition. We’ve had a lot of requests to make it available in an e-book edition, mainly from people who want to read it ‘on the move’. It’s just gone on sale on Amazon.co.uk (£4.99) and Amazon.com ($7.48), and presumably all of their sites. It will become available through other retailers in the next 1-2 weeks.

The e-book edition is the perfect way to read the manifesto. When you click on any of the 284 links to external materials, you’ll be taken to the list of references- the one you’ve clicked will be at the top of the new page. Click on it, and you’ll go straight to the material. Revert to Kindle, right-click and select ‘Back’, and you’ll be taken straight back to the point in the manifesto where you clicked on the link. At least, that’s how it works on the PC version of Kindle software which I’ve just tested. I doubt the Kindle device is just as simple.

Hopefully it goes without saying that all profits from this edition will go towards our campaigning costs. With little more than three months to go before the general election, what better way to show your support for the human rights of men and boys, than ordering a copy? Thank you, as always.

A day or two ago Stephen Nolan hosted an interesting discussion on his show on BBC Radio Ulster about the proposal that taxpayers fund vouchers to the tune of £400 to discourage  pregnant women from smoking, in a effort to stop them poisoning their unborn children. Doubtless, in time, we’ll see another scheme paying pregnant women a similar sum to discourage them from harming their unborn children by drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is the #1 cause of avoidable mental debilitation in the Western world, and it’s a subject we cover in our election manifesto.

Gill is a longstanding supporter of J4MB – and a valued donor – and just sent us a link to an article on the £400 bribe. From the article:

Around 5,000 babies die in the womb or shortly after birth from mothers smoking during pregnancy each year in the UK.

One in four pregnant women smokes, despite warnings about the effects on the baby, and widely available NHS quit services.

Gill ended her email with this:

More and more, as the years go by, I am ashamed of my gender. When I read stories like this, I get so angry I could SCREAM.

Another insightful piece by Laura Perrins. As usual with The Conservative Woman pieces, the comments are well worth reading too.

An interesting piece by Mark Dent, an Australian primary school teacher.

Spoiler one-star reviews of ‘Feminism: the ugly truth’ on Amazon.com continue to drive sales of the book, pleasingly. Occasionally reviewers display a little wit. I enjoyed the latest review, from ‘Liam’:

Reading Mickeys other works I was to say the least very confused with this last edition. The chapter on tiny nosed women of color was written entirely in rhyme, and included nothing but detailed descriptions of the puff pastries he eats in order of preference. Something has gone wrong here. Once a voice of the “New Britain” it is sad to see that Mickey has clearly had some kind of psychotic break. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the continual references and spontaneous fan fiction about the cast of Cats The Musical, I felt it had little to no relevancy in regards to feminism. Anyway I am wishing Mike the best of recoveries, and am hoping that he has a family around him at this time.

Cameron Waller, in contrast, managed this:

Our thanks to R for pointing us to this excellent piece.

The Sexual Offences Act 2003 – drawn up in line with radical feminist thinking on the issue of sex – makes rape a crime that only men can commit, but the offence of women forcing men to penetrate them is said in official guidance by the CPS – the organisation led by Alison Saunders – to be of equivalent seriousness, although:

– the police, the CPS, and the wider justice system has minimal, if any, interest in pursuing female sex offenders; and
– the maximum prison sentence for women forcing men to penetrate them is 10 years, while the maximum prison sentence for rape is life.

This all begs an obvious question, of course:

Why aren’t women required to prove that the men they’ve had sex with, gave consent?

The standard response to this question is often, ‘An erection implies consent’. No, it doesn’t, any more than a women having an orgasm during rape implies consent.

Women sexually abuse men (and children) on a far larger scale than is popularly believed, yet the police and justice system focusing relentlessly on men. We cover the issue of female sex offenders on pp 31-37 of our election manifesto. It contains a link to the Ally Fogg piece on ‘erections imply consent’.
