Woeful. The level of ignorance about gender politics displayed by the following extract alone is extraordinary:
Men’s rights advocates’ willingness to play feminists at their own game not only fuels the cult of victimhood, it does nothing to challenge the vast feminist quangocracy that identity politics has created.
That there is a minister for women and a veritable industry of charities and organisations charged with tackling ‘women’s issues’ is an affront to universalism, that, inevitably, knocks problems affecting men down the policy pecking order.
But the answer to this is not a men’s minister, an International Men’s Day or more funding for men-specific charities. We need to throw out this divisive genderism altogether, and work out how we can best serve everyone’s aspirations and interests.
Slater has nothing to say about how ‘we’ might ‘throw out this divisive genderism altogether’. Why would feminists in positions of power allow the source of their power to be ‘thrown out’?
I’ve left a comment, and invite you to do likewise.

Dan in Spiked makes the point that “At last count, Phillips has bravely refused to be silenced in the Huffington Post, the Mirror, the Independent and the Guardian, and has appeared on Newsnight, The Andrew Marr Show and The Daily Politics.”
Clearly there really isn’t any silencing going on. Yet as seen by the response to the very polite request for a debate in the Commons . Men’s issues will not be even mentioned unless there is force to get through the real silencing of mens issues from men and women.

Ignorant. He acts as if you ignore feminism, it will just go away. And as long as feminism exists, the MRM is necessary to make sure men’s voices are heard. (Real men’s voices, not chivalrst dipshit men who front the matriarchy.) He needs to pull his head out of the sand, and his butt.
