Our thanks to R for this.
A student at Staffordshire University, Vajra Dhatu, had the excellent idea of starting a “Men’s Rights Society”. Needless to say, the harridans in the Women’s Network oppose the idea. Fiona Wood, the chair of the network, nominated herself for our next ‘Gormless Feminist of the Month’ award with this:
She told StaffsLive: “If the Men’s Society is about ‘fathers for justice’ and issues treating men more fairly in court then that is fine.
“The statement written in the forum for the Men’s Rights Society was very male-centric and there was no mention of women.
There was no mention of women. OH… MY… GOD!!! If I were in Mr Dhatu’s position, I’d firmly tell Ms Wood to stick her opinions about the matter where the sun doesn’t shine.
Maybe it is time for a ‘talk’ as a guest lecturer on Wednesday? (Paul Elam hosted a talk at a Uni)
The NUS purposefully prevent a Men’s Officer, saying it’ll dilute the work of the Women’s work.
The NUS lie with stats; Motion 803 Oppose men’s societies & in 2010 http://www.nusconnect.org.uk/pageass…cy-2012-V3.pdf See P25.

Keele just about have both a women’s & a men’s representative.

What a fantastic article, finally some balanced journalism on such an issue. Very rare indeed. Also great to see so many well educated and informed students at Stoke, all of whom favour equality over feminism. I expect a J4MB candidate would do well there if these attitudes are mirrored in the wider population.
