Paula Sherriff MP, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities: ‘I promise to campaign for greater equality’

Paula Sherriff, the MP for Dewsbury, is one of several hatchet-faced trout who spoke at excessive length during the International Men’s Day debate yesterday. She’s currently the Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, and is evidently from the same unfortunate mould as Jess Phillips MP. Both were selected from (deeply sexist) all-women shortlists, as so many of the most woeful Labour MPs – all, it would seem, feminists – have been. They surely couldn’t have become parliamentary candidates if they’d had to compete with men. The evidence that Ms Sherriff was chosen from one of the shortlists is here.

One page on her official website has the title:

I promise to campaign for greater equality.

The ensuing piece mentions the word ‘women’ 11 times, ‘girls’ once, ‘men’ once, ‘boys’ not at all. Equality is a fine thing. The final paragraph:

Please rest assured that here, in the communities of Dewsbury, Mirfield, Denby Dale and Kirkburton, I will support those local women, and men, [my emphasis] who continue to contact me having been unfairly hit by government austerity cuts and, nationally I will campaign for greater opportunity and greater equality for all.

Hopefully the male voters of Dewsbury will give Ms Sherriff the boot at the 2020 general election, in recognition of her obvious lack of concern for them.

Bettina Arndt: The fox now guards the hen house

Bettina Arndt is an Australian sex therapist, journalist and clinical psychologist. Her Wikipedia page is here, her website here. We applaud her for an excellent article in the Australian edition of The Spectator, in relation to the shocking news that AU$13 million intended for male victims of domestic violence has been passed to a feminist organization, whose default assumption is that men presenting as victims are likely to be perpetrators. Hence the title of her piece, The fox now guards the hen house.

The Hansard record of yesterday’s International Men’s Day debate

Our thanks to Brian for this.

Our thanks to two whiny, gormless, toxic feminist MPs – Paula Sherriff (Labour) and Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh (SNP) – for getting mentions of the second International Conference on Men’s Issues, our party, and our awards for whiny / gormless / toxic / lying feminists into Hansard.

Swedish women get hotline to report mansplaining

Another piece for the four-drawer “You couldn’t make this s*** up!” filing cabinet, we’ve just had to order a second one. An extract:

Unionen said the phone line, which will be staffed by a gender expert and a group of feminist politicians, comedians and scientists, is “about equality”.

Ian Wang is a blithering idiot (‘International Men’s Day’ isn’t just unnecessary – it’s dangerous)

First published in 1947, Varsity is the foremost independent student newspaper for the University of Cambridge (according to its website) A truly woeful piece from Ian Wang, the only intelligent and insightful writing is in the comments section, as you’d expect.

House of Common Library briefing paper for International Men’s Day

At the start of the debate yesterday, Philip Davies spoke approvingly of the briefing paper – ‘debate pack’, in parliamentary vernacular – prepared by the House of Commons Library for the debate. Our thanks to Kevin for tracking it down, it’s 36 pages long – here.

Next year, we’ll have a REAL International Men’s Day

The male feminists (or manginas, to use the more commonly-used term) who are responsible for the IMD UK website and the recently-launched Men and Boys Coalition – a coalition which is poorly qualified to speak on behalf on men and boys, as we explained here – do not represent the vast majority of British MRAs, ‘real’ MRAs.

Real MRAs have long recognised that the prime ‘actor’ assaulting the human rights of men and boys with such devastating consequences, to advantage women and girls, is the state. Manginas are predictably disinclined to tell the world that feminists (and their male poodles) wield considerable power in state institutions, and manipulate those institutions to persecute and disadvantage men and boys (Alison Saunders, anyone?)

So next year we’re planning to work with other real MRAs and run The Real International Men’s Day – TRIMD, appropriately for Movember beards and moustaches – to broadcast the truth, not suppress it.

Men of the Commons leave Men’s Day debate to the women

A piece by John Crace of the Guardian. The number of male MPs in the chamber during the debate – 83 minutes long, as opposed to the scheduled 150 minutes – let along engaging in it, was, it must be said, shockingly small. Well, only 49% of electors are men, so why should MPs – male or female – have the slightest interest in men’s (or boys’) issues?

They were markedly outnumbered (certainly in terms of speaking time) by feminist MPs, whose favourite narrative for the debate was men being responsible for the high suicide rate, because – unlike women – men are disinclined to talk about their problems. So, victim blaming, then.

Feminist MPs mention the London conference and J4MB awards

We’ll be posting Philip Davies’s International Men’s Day debate onto our YouTube channel in due course, with a critique, but in the meantime it’s available on iPlayer, 3:11:35 – 4:34:09, here. It should have lasted for two and a half hours, but was cut short by over an hour by feminist MPs wittering on in the previous motion.

Sections of particular interest to followers of this blog may be Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh (SNP) referring to the London conference (4:09:17 – 4:09:50) and Paula Sherriff (Labour) referring to our monthly awards to lying, whiny, gormless and toxic feminists (4:19:50 – 4:22:30), clearly inviting us to present her with one.

At one point Ms Ahmed-Sheikh – who we believe has never have been confused for a ray of sunshine – stated:

Actually, all 365 days of the year are International Men’s Day!
