Remarkable.

The London conference was only possible financially because some amazing people offered their time and expertise at no charge. Top of the list was Tom, who filmed all the presentations, about which we’ve had excellent feedback. He worked crazy hours during the conference, and crazy hours in the following weeks, editing the video and audio files. Everyone found him a pleasure to work with.

One reason he was able to work without charging us in London was that he lives nearby. The same will obviously not be true for the next conference, in Australia, in June 2017. So Tom has started a crowdfunder for contributions towards his travel and accommodation costs in Australia, and we’ve just donated £100.00. Please join us in supporting him, his crowdfunder is here. Thank you.

Our thanks to Jeff for this.

Give me strength. An extract:

Diane James has sensationally quit as Ukip leader tonight just 18 days after winning the race to succeed Nigel Farage.

Party sources said the 51-year-old had been ‘deeply unhappy’ in her new role and had given up because of personal reasons.

Today was as productive and enjoyable as yesterday. Over the two days we handed out almost 3,000 leaflets, and engaged in a huge number of conversations. Time after time, people – including quite a number of MPs – were astonished to learn MGM is illegal in the UK, but were prepared to spend time for us to explain why (the information was, of course, also in the leaflets).

Among those joining us to protest was Simon ten Kate, a Dutchman who joined us some months ago at the first of our Golders Green protest (more to come). In late October he’ll be travelling with the indomitable Patrick Smyth to a major protest in San Francisco.

Simon is more tech-savvy than most MRAs, and he posted photos onto Facebook during the two days. One of the final ones was this:

We were video recording with our bodycams over the two days, and in due course we’ll be publishing some edited footage.

Our anti-MGM protest today was very successful. We handed out around 2,000 leaflets, and engaged in many productive discussions with delegates (and a number of MPs) – much like what we achieved in last year’s conference in Manchester. The most common topic of discussion was the illegality of MGM in the UK, which came as a surprise to many, who understandably – but incorrectly – assumed the commonality of the procedure reflected legality.

We’ve been taking video footage throughout on our bodycams, and The Forgotten Man (from The London Group) has taken some footage to give a sense of the activities. We’ll be posting footage after editing, in the next week or two.

We plan to be outside the ICC tomorrow morning, from around 9am. Please join us, and show your support for male minors being spared genital mutilation on religious or cultural grounds.

A few of the people who protested today, including a lady from Ulster who flew over for the protest, with her partner:

Our thanks to a supporter for this. An extract:

She admitted causing £1,650 damage and was ordered to pay £500 compensation to the court and was put on curfew between 9pm and 6am for one month.

So her fine – should she be bothered to pay it – accounts for 30% of the cost of the damage she caused. This isn’t punishment, it’s a farce. Another extract:

She had been sent to prison in the past and Mr Majid (prosecuting) added that she was in breach of a conditional discharge for an earlier criminal damage conviction.

Predictably there’s a mental health defence, commonly employed to excuse women’s crimes, rarely to excuse men’s crimes:

Steve Morris, defending, said: ‘I have known the defendant for many years. She does act impulsively. She has been diagnosed with a personality disorder.’

Susan Bosworth must have learned long ago that she’s above the law, because she’s a woman, and can play the mental health card too. What is the point in wasting taxpayers’ money in prosecuting women, when they are so seldom adequately punished? Why is imprisonment deemed a deterrent for men, but not women? As William Collins has outlined, if British men were sentenced as leniently as British women, five out of six men in British prisons wouldn’t be there.

And why is it that drunkenness is a mitigating circumstance for female criminals, but an aggravating circumstance for male criminals?

Alison Tieman, a Canadian videographer and Honey Badger, who we were pleased to welcome to the recent second International Conference on Men’s Issues, knows what’s behind these perennial double standards – gender differences in moral agency – and explained it in Men’s Rights Versus Feminism Explained by Magnets (4:27).

Our thanks to Martin for this. Leaving aside the cultural issue in the story, the existence of chess competitions (and other non-physical competitions) for women only is ridiculous. The forthcoming tournament should be renamed, maybe something like:

World Chess Championship (for people who are unable to compete with men)

We first posted a link to this (video cartoon, 4:08) in 2013. Wilhelmina Ballbreaker, spokeswoman for the feminist charity EckQuality for Women, is surely based on Hitlary.
