Very good. But I have to disagree with the title. ‘Private life’ means family life in the context of this article, and it’s not that feminists have ‘forgotten’ it surpasses public life, they never thought that in the first place.

Feminists have always been ideologically opposed to the nuclear family, and they have surely succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in destroying the institution. Three-quarters of divorces are filed for by wives. Divorce is, among other things, a state-sponsored transfer of financial assets from men (and their forebears) to women. Just one of the reasons we started the blog Men Shouldn’t Marry.

Divorce was one of the 20 areas covered in our 2015 general election manifesto (pp.57-60).

Another outstanding article from Kathy Gyngell, published two days ago. The hostile comments doubtless arise from a social media campaign, whipped up by doctors with (ironically) too much time on their hands.

Sadly the comments section is now closed, but I would ask you to join me in upvoting the piece. I had hoped to add a comment pointing out that Dr Vernon Coleman – the first ‘TV doctor’, and bestselling author – had started warning in his books in the 1970s what problems would result from the feminisation of the profession, which was then already underway. He predicted the problems which would result from female doctors (in general) not having the strong work ethic of their male colleagues (in general). How right he was. For every two male medical students today, there are three female medical students. The two men will collectively work markedly more hours over their medical careers than the three women collectively.

Over 50% of GPs today are women, and waiting times for appointments have never been longer. When I was a young man, it was common for GP surgeries to be open on Saturdays. Now it’s rare.

I am pleased to report that Kathy will be speaking at the second International Conference on Men’s Issues, at ExCeL London, 8-10 July. Her talk title will be:

Feminism and Family Dysfunction: A Disaster for Men, Women and Children.

I’m delighted with the sales of my latest book, Feminism: The Ugly Truth, which went on sale in a paperback edition about four weeks ago. Amazon has a useful facility for enabling potential buyers of books to review some of their content before deciding to purchase, it’s called ‘Look Inside’. If you click here, you just need to click on the cover design to access the facility.

Amazon doesn’t permit publishers to dictate what they make available with the facility, although publishers can choose not to make use of it for individual books. They’ve made a surprisingly large amount of the content of Feminism: The Ugly Truth available to view, but I have no problem with that. I’m particularly pleased to note they’ve made available chapter 1, ‘Feminists are liars’ (pp.11-15), which includes details of our ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ award winners. They includes Caroline Criado-Perez (three awards), Special Snowflake (two awards), Sandi Toxic, spokeswoman, Women’s Equality Party (two awards), and Sophie Walker, leader, Women’s Equality Party (one award). Ms Walker has, of course, just won her second award.

Six weeks ago I had an email from Spiked about a forthcoming conference – now just four days away – and posted a blog piece about it. To my amazement there are still tickets left, given it’s a ‘must attend’ event, to my mind. and I look forward to an interesting afternoon.

The content of the email from Spiked is here. The conference is titled, ‘The New Intolerance on Campus’. Tickets are just £3.49 – a bargain for a five-hour-long conference – and lunch is included. Just click on the link in the PDF to access the ticket booking site.

All-women shortlists can have appalling consequences, e.g. Jess Phillips MP. Our thanks to 5hadowfax for this (video, 2:19).

Another piece for the “You Couldn’t Make This S*** Up!” file.

Interesting. It all makes perfect sense.

Very good (video, 9:12).

[Note added 13.2.16: A tip of the hat to Toy Soldier for his take on this story – here.]

Enjoy (video, 1:32). As always with pieces posted on AVfM, the comment stream is well worth reading. If I had the money, I’d fly to Australia and buy Senator Fifield a few cold ones.
