An excellent article by Peter Lloyd. I invite you to post a comment. I’ve just posted the following, and include it here just in case the moderators remove it.

Non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors is unquestionably illegal in the UK, though the police / CPS rarely prosecute for it. It’s a grotesque human rights violation, and it breaches UN and EU conventions.

My political party will be protesting outside the Thornhill Clinic, Luton, on 22 March. It’s the largest private male circumcision clinic in the country.

At the International Conference on Men’s Issues in London in July, one of the 20 speakers will be Tim Hammond, an American, the author of the Global Survey of Circumcision Harm. It’s time to end the butchery of male minors’ genitals on non-therapeutic grounds.

JUSTICE FOR MEN & BOYS

Suffragents is an organization based in my adopted home town of Bedford, and its strapline is:

Campaigning for gender equality, legal justice for fathers, and the recognition of domestic violence against men.

On Saturday 12 March they’ll be holding their first annual convention, details here. Admission is free but by invitation only, you need to fill in a short contact form.

I won’t be speaking at the convention, but I look forward to attending.

An interesting piece by Peter Wright and Paul Elam. Peter is the editor of gynocentrism.com.

Another strong piece from Kathy. We’re looking forward to her talk at the London conference, ‘Feminism and Family Dysfunction: A Disaster for Men, Women and Children’.

Marvellous.

Our thanks to Dave for this. If it was 1 April today, rather than 1 March, I’d have dismissed it as an April Fool’s Day spoof story. The second paragraph:

Social enterprise company Coexist plans to let women have extra time off during their period, and tap to their employee’s natural cycle to create a “happier and healthier” working environment.

If I’d been shown the piece without an indication of where it had been published, I’d have guessed The Daily Mash. Instead, it’s in HuffPo. Another extract:

The policy, which will be put into place on 15 March, follows the ethos that women are up to three times more productive in the days after their period has finished, but can have less energy when they are menstruating.

The ethos that women are…? Incredible. And why are employers paying women their full salaries on days their productivity is so appalling?

Maybe it’s really a spoof piece, after all. I look forward to the company adopting a policy of female employees not having to work on days they’d be happier not working. That would surely boost productivity enormously.

Interesting.

A tip of the hat to the indefatigable William Collins for this. We wish the new Wiki-style site much success.

An excellent piece by David Keighley, a former BBC News producer.
