Yesterday we posted a piece about two sexist signs in the Ladies’ toilets at the Fox & Hounds public house in Westerham, Kent.
A local media outlet, KentLive, has just published this. It’s a partial victory at this stage. The signs are down, and the landlord emailed me to apologise, but there are no indications yet of a forthcoming donation to Mankind Initiative.
At the lady journalist’s request, I sent her a portrait photo. To be more accurate, not knowing whether the photo would be used online or in the printed edition, I sent her two images, RGB for the former, CMYK for the latter:
It would appear the paper has used the latter version in the main body of the piece, maybe in an effort to make me look like ‘Mr Angry’. (Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.) I raised the point with the journalist, she expressed bafflement, and said she’d look into the matter. I won’t hold my breath.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Even when feminists know they are wrong they continue to attempt to use their infantile worn out shaming tactics. It’s the unending hypocrisy which is laughable.

Don’t worry, Mike. As Oscar Wilde said: “The only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity.

Were you conducting a social experiment by sending both? If she’s chosen the latter one, I’d say it’s obvious she’s trying to make you look a certain way.

Well done Mike. A result.

People are very sensitive to anything that might affect business it’s true.
But still a victory for us.

An excellent result Mike. Women might start to think about their casual everyday sexism if men start complaining and taking their custom elsewhere. A tip of the hat to the woman who alerted you to the problem.
