An image of MGM we’ll be featuring on placards and leaflets at our Conservative party conference protest

We felt it was about time our anti-MGM protests started forcing people to confront an image of MGM, because it’s too easy for them to dismiss (or refuse to engage with) rational arguments. At our anti-MGM protests (3/4 October, from around 08:00) outside the Conservative party conference in Birmingham, some of our placards and leaflets will feature the following image of a distressed (and restrained) baby boy, just a few days old, moments before suffering the excruciating (and illegal) mutilation of his genitals:

Anyone with any knowledge about MGM will know we could have posted extremely gory and disturbing images taken after the procedure, and we’ve chosen not to.

Details of the forthcoming protest are here.

BBC propaganda on Nottinghamshire police treating misogyny as a hate crime

Our thanks to John for this, an article by Jean Mackenzie of the BBC following The Victoria Derbyshire Show episode two days ago in which I appeared. A video on our YouTube channel is here (12:33). The 3:23 video clip link in Ms Mackenzie’s piece includes nothing of the discussion in which I took part, and the link to Ms Derbyshire’s programme is to the programme website, not to the episode in question.

In the course of the 36 hours since we published a link to the video, it’s received 1,000+ hits, 103 comments supportive of our position (none critical of it), 91 upvotes and 7 downvotes. The BBC article doesn’t mention my appearance on the programme, while quoting the two female guests at length. The sort of feminist-inspired anti-male censorship we’ve long come to expect from the BBC, then.

In the run-up to the 2015 general election the BBC filmed me along with some other J4MB supporters campaigning outside the grounds of Nottingham University. An aggressive young man hurled some very heavily soiled cat litter over the windscreen and bonnet of our vehicle, a matter which much amused Tyger Drew Honey, the presenter of the programme. To the BBC, anti-male sexism is generally a laughing matter. The programme was broadcast on BBC3 in November of the same year, a little of the programme including the cat litter incident is here (video, 5:17).

American Circumcision – trailer

Our thanks to John for this (video, 1:09). The film’s website is here.

In the description under the video:

American Circumcision is a feature-length documentary on circumcision in America, and the growing movement that says men should have the right to make their own choices about their bodies.

Katherine Ryan – drop-dead gorgeous, hilarious Canadian comedienne. Apart from being a feminist, it’s all good.

You could count the number of comediennes who add to the humour of comedy panel shows and the like – e.g. Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats – on the fingers remaining on one hand after an accident with a chainsaw. Most comediennes contribute little to nothing, and often reduce the quality of humour, as the male colleagues strain to be PC in their presence. Needless to say, feminist comediennes are by far the worst of the bunch e.g. Sandy Toxic, Kate Smurfwaite, Zoe Lyons…

So I was delighted last night to see the Irish-Canadian comedienne Katherine Ryan on BBC2. Katherine always makes great contributions to comedy panel shows and the like – she’s particularly good on Taskmaster – and has two attributes unknown among feminist comediennes, being both drop-dead gorgeous, and hilarious. Her Wiki page is here, her website here. Katherine was hosting an episode of Live at the Apollo, and as you’d expect with the BBC, it was a repeat. You’ll be able to catch it on iPlayer (if you have a TV licence) here (30 minutes) for the next four weeks. An earlier episode (2014) on YouTube is here (7:00).

Remarkably, she mentions male circumcision towards the end of her piece, and she’s followed by two male comedians, including ‘Herman the German’, who’s always worth catching. He’s lived in the UK for many years.

Mike Buchanan in discussion about misogyny as a hate crime, on The Victoria Derbyshire Show

We recently posted a piece about a feminist-inspired initiative in Nottinghamshire, where the county’s police force has unilaterally decided to treat misogyny as a hate crime. They are even considering wolf whistling as evidence of men’s misogyny, something that could only makes sense in the warped minds of feminists. Other police forces around England are now considering adopting the initiative, so they must have plenty of spare resources. No, hold on…

I was on The Victoria Derbyshire Show this morning, and thank Kevin for preparing this file (video 12:33), just loaded onto our YouTube channel.
