Kat Banyard, inaugural winner of our ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award: upvotes v downvotes

I seldom have time to look at the detailed stats on our YouTube channel, but I’ve just indulged myself by spending a few minutes doing so. There’s one thing that pleases me more than upvotes on our YouTube videos and audio files, and that’s downvotes. The pleasure to be derived from knowing you’ve upset some bitter hate-filled feminist takes some beating.

Even allowing for the fact that we know people sometimes mistakenly downvote out videos for the feminist content rather than our commentary on that content, it’s clear that feminists sometimes look at our YouTube pieces, and post downvotes… the minxes!

Now, why would feminists do this? They never post explanations, of course, but our assumption is they have an Entitlement Princess complex which leads them to mistakenly believe we might give a flying f*** what they think. The most interesting video with regards to this voting phenomenon is one we posted on 8 March 2013, video footage of Kat Banyard’s interview with the relentlessly feminist-friendly Jon Snow on Channel 4 News, following which she won our inaugural Lying Feminist of the Month award, for her claims about the frequency with which schoolgirls were being assaulted. The video is here.

What makes this video particularly interesting to me, is that it’s the only file in our large YouTube channel in which the number of downvotes isn’t considerably outweighed by the number of upvotes. Currently, following 7,293 views of the video, there have been 43 upvotes and 43 downvotes. The questions I invite the crazy ladies who’ve downvoted the piece to answer are these:

Why did you downvote the piece?

Do you believe that Kat Banyard didn’t lie, and therefore didn’t deserve the award? If so, could you please email me mike@j4mb.org.uk with your evidence? Thank you.

Somehow, I don’t expect to be inundated with emails…

I invite our estimable supporters to upvote the video, and I invite hate-driven harrridans to downvote it.

Gormless Feminists of the Month: 191 academics, students, and alumni, at York University

With feminists being not only liars, but gormless liars, it’s perhaps not surprising that sometimes our monthly awards are presented to groups of feminists. Collective winners of our Gormless Feminist of the Month awards have included the ladies ‘working’ at The Fawcett Society, and the apologists of Special Snowflake, sometimes known as Laura Bates, the genius behind The Everyday Whining Project.

Earlier this evening I received the following email:

Hi Mike,

I don’t know if you’ve been following the York Uni International Men’s Day retraction, but the university has pulled its marking of the day due to this letter. I’ve been considering the feasibility of organising a quick flyering campaign at or near the campus, and I was wondering whether you a) know of anybody local considering the same thing and b) would consider this to be a worthwhile endeavour. [I responded with (a) No (b) Yes.]

I’ve set up the email yorkimd2015@gmail.com if you’d like to include it in a blog post with the suggestion that anybody local who wants to go and hand out the information about support that was supposed to be handed out, to get in touch with me. Feel free to use my first name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What an estimable man. And so it is that we present this month’s Gormless Feminists of the Month award to the 191 co-signatories of the open letter that sought to block recognition of issues gravely affecting men and boys on just one day of the year – and succeeded in doing so. More details on the award certificate, at the end of this blog piece. Rarely has the award been more deserved.

Has there ever been a greater concentration of blithering idiots in one academic institution than has just been demonstrated in one letter, from those associated with York University? I doubt it.

On the positive side, could we possibly ask for clearer evidence than this letter, that feminists are recognising they’ve lost their former grip on cultural narratives? Surely not. The dam’s about to burst, and these idiots think their sellotape will prevent that historical inevitability… extraordinary, as well as delusional. They will all be swept away in the coming torrent. It can’t happen soon enough.

All together now, in a joyous rendition of:

O happy day!

 

A Sunday Times article on MGTOW, David Sherratt (Spinosaurus Kin) will be joining us at ICMI16

Good news. David Sherratt, 18, a chemistry student at Cardiff University, is well-known as a poster of anti-feminist videos on YouTube, as Spinosaurus Kin. He’ll be joining us at ICMI16, and looks forward to meeting some of his followers there.

Yesterday The Sunday Times published an impressive six-page article on the MGTOW phenomenon – ‘Meet the men giving up on women’ – by Martin Daubney, a former editor of Loaded. Much of the first three pages is taken up with comments from David. A link to the piece is here, and starts with some content from David, but most of the article is behind a paywall.

Other people mentioned in the article, almost all of whom were quoted:

– Carl Benjamin, Sargon of Akkad
– Milo Yiannopoulos
– Erin Pizzey
– Karen Straughan
– Dean Esmay
– Miles Groth
– Sandman
– Turd Flinging Monkey

‘International Men’s Day’ – a feminist ‘comedy’ film, as unfunny as you’d expect

Our thanks to John for this. From the video description:

Narrated by Sue Perkins, International Men’s Day is a short comedy film [Can we have someone charged with fraudulent misrepresentation, in claiming it’s a ‘comedy’ film?] directed by Ella Jones and written by Rob Thorman.

In a parallel world where women rule the roost and ‘Masculists’ are written off as angry men burning boxers, a group of downtrodden men decide to take action…by plotting a sex strike against their partners.

The film (17:00) is as unfunny as you’d expect, having been made by feminists – including a mangina poodle – and narrated by a lesbian. Ms Perkins’s Wikipedia profile is here. I’ve only dipped into the video in two or three places, but it’s as funny as a dislocated shoulder.

As a lesbian ‘comedienne’, in common with Sandy Toxic and Kate Smurfwaite, Sue Perkins predictably gets a lot of work from the BBC.

To atone for inflicting this dreadful video on you, I’ll point you to some more entertaining material. The Australian comedian Jim Jefferies had the last word on humourless lesbians – here. For hilarious videos on gender-related matters, you can’t beat Terrence Popp (Redonkulas). I had the honour of meeting him during the first International Conference on Men’s Issues, in Detroit, 2014, where we both spoke, and shaking his hand – here. His video channel is here. His video on Charlotte Proudman, a vile dour narcissistic 26-year-old feminist barrister, was a gem – here.

I invite you to join us at the second International Conference on Men’s Issues, to be held in London, July 8-10, 2016. Details here.

Feminism: The Ugly Truth – available shortly in a paperback edition

In February 2012 my ninth book was published, Feminism: The Ugly Truth. Since then, I’ve been somewhat occupied with activities other than writing books. To date the title has only been available as an e-book, but a valued supporter has just donated a substantial sum with the express purpose of funding a paperback edition. I should like to thank him warmly.

The book should be available to buy from Amazon and other retail outlets in the next three to four weeks, so it will be an obvious Xmas present for you and your loved ones, of all ages.

The supporter requested that the book cover remain unchanged – it includes an image of a waxwork female vampire in Eastern Europe, representing feminism, an ugly and evil ideology – and I was happy to agree to his request. I look forward to the expressions of commuters when they spot the image on the book’s cover whilst travelling on trains, buses etc.

An alternative image I originally considered for the book cover, taken by a Dutch lady photographer – a young lady licking a knife – was altogether more striking, but I rejected it in favour of the vampire image. After all, I wouldn’t want to shock people.

William Collins: Rolf Harris v Women Sex Offenders

Another impressive piece from Mr Collins.

In our 2015 general election manifesto we explored 20 areas in which the human rights of men and/or boys are assaulted by the actions and inactions of the state, usually to advantage women and/or girls. The longest section on an individual area concerned sexual abuse (pp.31-37).

In his piece, William Collins explored the extreme double standard in relation to the sentencing of male and female sex offenders. Is there also a gendered difference in the frequency with which the police – with the approval of the feminist-driven Crown Prosecution Service – charge suspected sexual offenders?

From what is known about the relative frequency with which men and women commit sexual offences against people of the opposite sex – details in our manifesto – all else being equal, we’d expect the male:female ratio of people charged with sex offences to be a little under 3:1.

In the UK, in 2013, the ratio was 146:1.

Harriet Harman’s diary: the joys of being a former acting leader

I’ve just started a subscription to The Spectator, and the hard copy arrived this morning. I opened it at random, and was aghast to find this on p.11. Excerpts:

Mornings are transformed now that I am no longer acting leader. I lie in bed listening to Today — hoping Labour’s argument will triumph, but glad not to be the one to make it. Instead of sweating over preparation for Prime Minister’s Questions, I tweet pictures of my kittens…

Off to the Southwark remembrance service in Borough High Street. Like most MPs I go to our local ceremony every year and value highly the moment of reflection and contemplation. But one particularly freezing November when we were standing there before the silence, with an icy wind whipping round, I moaned to Tessa Jowell, my fellow Southwark MP, that my feet and hands were numb with the cold. ‘But think,’ she said, ‘how much colder it was for the soldiers in the trenches.’ [No comment from Harman on Jowell’s statement. She can’t even bring herself to write one sentence expressing sympathy for those courageous men.]

She left the Commons in May and this Sunday was the first time in over 20 years that we didn’t stand next to each other during the silence. I really miss her. People still muddle us up, but I’m happy to have well-wishers come up and congratulate me on bringing the Olympics to London. [Typical of Harman – when she’s not accepting responsibility for her mistakes, she’s happy to take credit for others’ work.]

After the service, there is a meeting of Camberwell and Peckham Labour party women members. [We can safely assume there’s no equivalent meeting of ‘men members’, even on Remembrance Day]. Nationally, there’s a clean sweep of men in the top positions now: Labour leader, deputy leader, general secretary, NEC chair, London mayoral candidate… Once again, time to step up our efforts to insist women get an equal say. [Yes, because all-women shortlists aren’t enough of an assault on meritocracy. Surprisingly, the daft bat isn’t complaining about all the parties in Scotland being led by women today. A ‘clean sweep of women’ is perfectly acceptable, clearly…].

On p.45 we find Julie Burchill’s contribution to the ‘Books of the Year’ section.

Why is Fraser Nelson, the Editor, assaulting a new subscriber in this manner? Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
