Founder of online fashion shop Asos is forced to pay his ex-wife £70 MILLION after a High Court divorce battle sparked when he moved in with PA 15 years younger than him
Our thanks to David for this. He writes:
I imagine the settlement is above the minimum wage?
An excerpt from the article:
Mr Justice Holman said Mr Robertson was the ‘money maker’ in the marriage but Mrs Robertson had been an ‘excellent home-maker and an excellent mother’.
Both had ‘contributed equally’ when living together, said the judge. But, he said, Mr Robertson had worked on his business project before marrying.
The marriage lasted nine years. So, what was the value placed by Mr Justice Holman on the woman being ‘an excellent home-maker and an excellent mother’?
£21,308.98 for every day of the marriage
Lest Mr Robertson consider marrying his PA, I’ll have to point him towards our associated website Men Shouldn’t Marry.
Disrespect Nobody (nobody who is female, anyway)
Our thanks to John for sending this:
Mike,
Have you seen this Disrespect Nobody campaign sponsored by the Home Office (Theresa May) and the Government Equalities Office? I’m appalled. It is 100% anti-male and presented as if only boys/men commit crimes of rape, sexting, relationship abuse, reading their girlfriend’s texts, etc. The campaign has adverts on television (E4 last night), radio spots (Spotify) and the internet. Our taxes are funding this.
http://www.disrespectnobody.co.uk
It is 100% anti-male, sexist, humiliating, degrading, paints men and boys as abusers of women and girls, and urges women and girls to contact Women’s Aid and other anti-male hate groups to report incidents.
Reporting leads to criminal prosecution of boys under the newly revamped domestic violence/ domestic abuse law that can twist almost any act by a boy such as reading his girlfriend’s texts into “coercive and controlling behaviour” that is now criminalised by the UK.
This campaign is almost certainly aimed at increasing prosecutions by the police and the CPS of these petty teenage matters, with girls not realising the uncontrollable avalanche they’ve started with the police and the CPS and the boys being sucked into a criminal justice system that has been hijacked by radical feminists to criminalise them and destroy their lives before they’ve started.
Someone’s got a petition going to remove it. You may want to circulated this link to J4MB members to sign:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/123299/
But this isn’t enough. Criminal prosecution against Nicky Morgan and Theresa May is in order. A formal complaint to the police of an anti-male Hate Crime being committed by the Home Office and Equalities Office should be made.
Regards,
John

Online abuse and cyber crime bill introduced by Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts
Our thanks to Jeff for this, a short piece from BBC Wales. The start of the article:
A bill to tackle online abuse and cyber crime is being introduced by Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts. It aims to make it an offence to post content that is discriminatory, threatening and causes distress.
Internet service providers and social media firms would be forced to remove offensive material. The 10-minute rule bill being presented on Wednesday would need UK government support but has already secured cross-party backing.
So if anti-feminist content causes (manufactured) ‘distress’ among feminists, ISPs and social media firms would be forced to remove that content, and those who post such content would be committing an offence. No wonder the bill has already secured cross-party backing.
Playground tig ban at Leeds primary school criticised
You couldn’t make it up. The teaching profession seems determined to create a generation of wimps and wimpesses.
Caitlin Moran: Why men need feminism
On tomorrow’s Woman Sour (10.00 – 11:00, BBC Radio 4) Caitlin Moron – January 2016 Gormless Feminist of the Month – will be explaining why men need feminism. Regrettably but predictably, the feminist-friendly Men’s Hour will not be giving a platform to an anti-feminist to explain why feminism needs to be hurled into the dustbin of history, for the sake of men, women, and children. For people outside these groups, feminism is highly beneficial.

HuffPo removes comments from the piece on my interview with Kay Burley (Sky News)
My thanks to a number of people for pointing out that HuffPo have removed a number of comments on their piece on my interview with Kay Burley (Sky News). I posted a couple of comments this morning, but I posted a more substantive one yesterday evening. It was in response to a gormless woman who complained about our Whiny Feminist of the Month and Toxic Feminist of the Month awards. I wrote:
