David Power’s comment on Breitbart following the announcement of ICMI16

I’ve just started to look at the comment stream on Breitbart – here. The first one that caught my eye was this:

A conference on mens issues at £265 a ticket. A bit much to talk about how men don’t get enough beer, sex and time off work. Give me a break.

I was thinking of writing a response, when I spotted that David Power had already written one. A tip of the hat to him.

Hey, complaining about the price of admission is one thing, but truing to trivialise the very real imbalance between male and female rights in this country is, if you are a woman, disgustingly self serving and if you are a man, ridiculously ill-informed.

By any objective measure, the UK has become a country increasingly hostile and openly vindictive to men and Boys, in order to advantage women and girls.

A country where women are far less likely to be victims of a violent crime, less likely to die at work and less likely to be homeless. And yet where women still manage to successfully claim that Men are the entitled gender.

A country where ancient laws are routinely torn up so as to allow women more and more power over men.

A country where women can with impunity have any man locked up by simply and anonymously accusing him of the most disgusting crimes on the flimsiest of evidence.

A country where women are virtually exempt from imprisonment for crimes that would get men locked up for many many years.

A country where women gained full voting rights only two years after the vast majority of men gained theirs. But where, only Men, are forced to sacrifice their lives to defend those rights.

A country where women account for the majority of the population and more importantly – the electorate, and yet still manage to successfully claim “minority” status.

A country where women are responsible for nearly half (and probably a lot more) of all domestic violence. And yet receive 99.99% of government resources used to fight it.

A country where women, have uni-lateral control, over the life or death of unborn children. Where they now routinely kill 200,000 healthy unborn children every year for no other reason but convenience sake. Literally power over life and death! yet still claim to be a powerless group in need of more “special” Laws.

A country that systematically separates good loving fathers from their own children for no other reason than a woman wants it that way. And where 1 in 4 children are now raised without a father.

A country where boys are being deliberately and cynically squeezed out of the education process by the wilful feminisation of the curriculum and exam criteria.

A country where undeserving women can artificially impose themselves via bogus gender quotas and all-female short lists into the more desirable occupations, while still reserving all of the dirty, menial and dangerous jobs exclusively for men.

A country where women account for almost 80% of all high-street purchases. With a great deal of it spent on exclusively female luxury products… bags ($9 billion in the US alone) cosmetics ($60 billion), shoes ($24billion) clothes ($200+ billion).. And yet women still manage to successfully claim to be the impoverished sex.

A country that for over half a century has been wilfully pursuing policies deliberately designed to disadvantage boys to such an extent that male suicide rates have reach historically unprecedented levels. Levels that medical experts are calling “the male suicide epidemic”. An epidemic ignored by a grotesquely gyno-centric establishment and openly applauded by degenerate, self-serving feminists.

A country where women have always (and still do) live longer than men. Where by the age of eighty, women out-number Men by 2 to 1. And yet still manage to successfully claim that men are somehow more privileged.

A country where the most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and and get him fired from his job and no one protests. But where it is now socially and politically taboo to even mildly criticise women or their behaviour in any way.

A country where men’s rights have been trampled over by opportunistic women and unscrupulous politicians via the wholesale propagation of a blatantly anti-male feminist contrived narrative.

A country where women, have the choice to work full time or be a mother and not work at all or work part time and be a mother. While for the vast majority of Men, work is the only option (unless you count prison). And yet women still successfully manage to portray themselves as the gender with the least options.

A country dominated by a movement which no longer seeks equality of opportunity, but one that seeks increasingly greater privileges for women at the expense of men by creating false issues and false statistics (e.g. the gender wage gap) in order to attract tax-payer and other funding to organisations and initiatives for the exclusive benefit of women and girls, while using the vilification of men and boys to justify their exclusion.

And so rather than living in a country that favours men, we are actually living in a country that systematically, punishes, vilifies and disadvantages men and boys in order to privilege women and girls. For in truth, the goal of feminism is not equality for women, it’s about dominance and control over men.

Julia Hartley-Brewer: The campaign to end VAT on tampons is one of the silliest the sisterhood has ever mounted

Yesterday I was involved in a discussion on BBC Radio Leicester about the ‘Tampon Tax’. A feminist made a claim about women’s expecnditure on tampons, and I made the point that I’d use her figure as the basis for discussion, although feminists were notorious for lying.

The presenter, Monica Winfield, imperiosuy said I couldn’t generalise that feminists were liars, to which I retorted that I could, and would. The discussion is here.

I’m grateful to HEqual for sending me some comments, which take up the remainder of this blog piece:

“Mike you were ABSOLUTELY right about her lying and you’ve totally underestimated the scale of her lie. That 18K figure is the most insane feminist exaggeration yet. Here’s the figures:

She insanely claims women in the UK spend £18K over a lifetime on sanitary products and even that’s rounded down from the actual figure feminists use which is £18,450

18,450 / 40 years = £461.25 per year

Assuming there are 20 million UK women using said products then that tells us the total UK market is worth amazing £9.225 billion each year.

In reality, most tampons are remarkably cheap and of course what shrinks the cost is that women aren’t using them every day.

The GLOBAL market is current totals less than £10 billion:

i.e. it seems that some feminist idiot has taken a report about the entire planet, erased billions of women from existence apart from those in the UK and pretended the only women that exist or buy tampons are those in the UK!

The lie is fully debunked by Julia Hartley-Brewer in the Telegraph here:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-politics/11957498/The-campaign-to-end-VAT-on-tampons-is-one-of-the-silliest-the-sisterhood-has-ever-mounted.html

So rather than the actual tax spend being £1,000 in a lifetime it could be as low as £30.

just think how insane the figure of £18,000 in a lifetime is. Plenty of people don’t even earn that in a year – total madness!

I think some sort of communication to that feminist presenter proving your were even more correct than you thought is in order given her very determined belief that feminists tell the truth when defending what was clearly about the biggest lie going.

I’ll be sending out a few tweets at the very least.

Charles Moore’s column in the new edition of ‘The Spectator’

Charles Moore is an English journalist and a former editor of The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph and The Spectator. He still writes for the first and last of these publications. The Telegraph titles were quality titles under his stewardship. Sadly, no longer, although there are signs of improvement, as we saw with recent pieces by Dan Bell and Glen Poole.

He is also the author of the official biographies of Mrs Thatcher, the second of a series of three was published recently. Both are extremely well-written, and show Mrs Thatcher to be a far more sympathetic character than she was portrayed by herself and others. ‘The Iron Lady’ was a deeply human woman.

I recently took out a subscription for The Spectator, the only magazine of its type for whch I have any time. Today I received a letter with a link to the latest online edition, and the first article I opened was Charles Moore’s column. I’ve left a comment which will hopefully not be removed, but in case it is, I’ll leave it here for posterity, it takes up the remainder of this blog piece. I invite you to leave your own comments on The Spectator page.

Charles, I much enjoyed your biographies of Mrs Thatcher, and I’ve just taken out a subscription for the Spectator. Your piece was the first I opened, and one paragraph made me splutter my Earl Grey over my computer keyboard:

“Why are international sports bodies inveterately corrupt? Could part of the answer be that they have very few women on them? I am not saying that women are intrinsically better people than men, but they are less likely to be members of the mental club which instinctively lets your mates do whatever they want.”

In the immortal words of John McEnroe, ‘You cannot be serious!’ With rare exceptions – the estimable Mrs T being one, of course – women demonstrate a strong in-group preference in positions of power, appointing and promoting women ahead of more capable men. The issue of gender-related in-group preferencing is explored in depth in Steve Moxon’s ‘The Woman Racket’ (2008). Men show little if any in-group preferencing. The ‘glass ceiling’ was always a feminist myth.

One of the first things Nicola Sturgeon did as First Minister in Scotland was make her cabinet gender balanced. She’s now pressing for the boards of public bodies in Scotland to be the same. Meritocracy has gone out of the window.

I worked as a consultant for the Conservative party from 2006-8, but resigned my party membership in 2009 when Dave announced his intention to introduce all-women shortlists for prosepctive parliamentary candidates. One in three of his ministers are women, although only one in five Tory MPs are women. Experienced and talented men have been denied cabinet positions, some of them given to talentless feminists (the word ‘talentless’ is superfulous, to be fair) such as Nicky Morgan, Minister for Women and Equalities (why does such a post EXIST in a Conservative government in 2015?!!!) and Education Secretary. A sickening combination of roles, given how far men and boys have fallen behind women and girls in the education system. We know from a FOI response that her department has not the slightest interest in rectifying that situation.

In 2012 I presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries, pointing MPs and peers to longitudinal studies demonstrating a causal link between increasing female representation on corporate boards, and financial decline. A link to our briefing paper on the matter is here:

The government has bullied FTSE100 companies into doubling the proportion of women on their boards since 2011 (from 12.5% to 25%), and is now bullying FTSE350 companies into having a third of their directors of the female persuasion by 2020. It’s an assault on a foundation stone of capitalism, the freedom of companies to appoint directors as they see fit.

Alison Saunders’s response to our FOI request is now THREE weeks overdue

Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions, failed to respond by the required deadline to our FOI request asking for minutes of meetings she’s had since she took on her role, with organizations advocating for victims of domestic and/or sexual abuse. Her response is now THREE weeks overdue.

Our letter to Ms Saunders is here, and in a moment I’ll alert the Crown Prosecution Service to this blog post. We’ll publish a post each week on the delay by Alison Saunders, until we get a response.
