Nicky Morgan MP is the Minister for Women and Equalities, and scandalously – given she holds that position – the Education Secretary. On today’s Sunday Politics she claimed it will be ‘important’ that one of the two final candidates for the Conservative party leadership – and therefore our next prime minister – will be a woman. In the context of the momentous changes that will follow from the Brexit vote, it was an astonishing point to make.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll surely say it again – the woman’s a blithering idiot, even by feminist politician standards. Her point was also self-serving, as she expressed her willingness to stand for the party leadership. Another contender, Theresa May, Home Secretary, is also a feminist. What dark times we live in.

We can but hope that whoever succeeds David Cameron fires Ms Morgan, and appoints someone who recognizes and seeks to deal with the problem of male under-achievement in the education system. The next good move would be to scrap the ridiculous position of Minister for Women and Equalities.

A short but powerful article published yesterday on The Conservative Woman website. I was pleased to read the following comments posted by ‘DollarPound’ a couple of hours ago:

1997: Nigel Farage and UKIP gain 0.4% of the popular vote, and are dismissed as racists by mainstream politicians and the media.

2015: Mike Buchanan and J4MB gain 0.4% of the popular vote, and are dismissed as misogynists by mainstream politicians and the media.

Take note, feminists.

J4MB did remarkably well at the 2015 general election. UKIP secured 3.9 million more votes than J4MB, but they have only one more MP than we have.

David Dimbleby has just announced the BBC forecast that British citizens have voted to leave the EU, in a 52:48 split (14.1 v 13.1 million votes so far, 20% of areas yet to declare). He and a series of politicians and journalists are clearly startled that the British public has dared to make this historic decision.

The Times is backing the Remain campaign. On the front page of today’s edition the leading article bore the headline, ‘Final polls leave Britain’s future on a knife edge’. It reports the results of a poll the paper commissioned from YouGov, and includes this:

The survey suggests that most men will vote to Leave, with a majority of women opting to Remain.

This is predictable, in part due to what is known about the gendered nature of risk aversion – though many would say ‘Remain’ is a riskier option, in the longer term, than ‘Leave’ – but will sufficient women have voted today to push the ‘Remain’ campaign to victory? We’ll soon know. In recent weeks I’ve found MRAs mostly in the ‘Leave’ camp, by a large majority.

Shortly before the May 2015 general election, I was interviewed by Frances Finn for Notts TV (not a BBC station). My thanks to Jerry for letting me know the video (10:23) has so far attracted 590,000+ views on Captain Nemo’s outstanding YouTube channel, along with 10,000+ upvotes and 5,000+ comments. He coined the pleasing title, ‘Feminist lies shattered by Men’s Rights Activist’. Other videos on his channel of my media appearances have also attracted hundreds of thousands of views. If anyone knows the good captain, could they please invite him to email me at mike@j4mb.org.uk? Thanks.

Enjoy.

Our thanks to Stuart for this. He writes:

Well done to Chesterfield FC for standing up and being counted.

We agree.

Our thanks to Paul for this. The start of the article:

Police are to appeal after a Coventry mum was fined just £50 for posting intimate photos of an ex-boyfriend on social media.

Ann-Marie Clarke, aged 36, from Stoke, became the first woman in the West Midlands to be convicted under revenge porn laws.

Coventry Magistrates Court heard she had posted intimate photos of an ex-boyfriend on Facebook, and even went as far as setting one image – with his genitals exposed – as her own profile picture.

Clarke admitted disclosing private sexual photographs online and was fined £50.

In a statement afterwards, West Midlands Police said it was “set to appeal the sentence.”

Officers said the messages were designed to humiliate the 32-year-old victim and had left him “emotionally and psychologically scarred”.

Women will take the message from this case that they can emotionally and psychologically scar men for just £50. Quite a bargain, courtesy of our relentlessly anti-male criminal justice system.

A lengthy but interesting wide-ranging discussion (2:02:35). Topics covered include:

– the conference
– An Ear for Men
– feminists’ undermining of universities
– ‘fainting couch’ feminists
– toxic femininity
– gynocentrism
– Brock Turner
– MGTOW
– Trump v Clinton

A couple of days ago someone working at the London office of The Economist interviewed Paul Elam, and he’s quoted in a woeful article which is expected to appear in tomorrow’s UK print edition. The equally woeful title is, ‘Balls to all that: The rebalancing of the sexes has spawned 21st-century misogyny.’

Paul spoke about the London conference during the interview but, predictably, no mention was made of it in the article, so I referred to it in a comment which I captured with a screen grab – here.

An indicator of the poor quality of the article, and it’s ideologically anti-male bias, can be gleaned from these few words:

Observers of the manosphere disagree over exactly what fuels it. Barbara Risman, the head of the sociology department at the University of Illinois at Chicago…

A female head of a university sociology department. Hmm, she’ll surely be well-qualified to speak about what fuels the manosphere, yes indeed.
