With the general election just a few weeks away – the key contests being in Shipley (Davies v Walker) and Birmingham Yardley (Hemming v Phillips) – I thought it timely to post again a piece published on TCW a little over a year ago.
The snow continues to fall, the drifts around the house are building up, at this rate I won’t be catching my flight back tomorrow. I can think of far worse places to be trapped than a vast log-built house in the Rocky Mountains, with fine company. Paul Elam has just cooked a steak dinner, I didn’t know steak could taste so good.
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 
True.
At best this “Party” represents a group of middle class, educated MOTHERS. A woman who is able and motivated enough to be, say, a High Court judge is going to be childfree. That 1/7 woman (Preference Theory) is likely to be among the 20% of women without children and they think and react like men.
Margaret Thatcher famously said she owed nothing to Women’s Lib, and if you read Charles Moore’s biography, her children were cared for by someone else from birth – Denis Thatcher took the flat next door for the nanny and babies.
Nobody should be protected from the consequences of their own choices, whether those choices be to abuse alcohol and drugs, or to have children. And the consequences of childbearing, and we will see it in the career consequences for men taking SPL, are reflected in pay and career prospects. Which is why the uptake of SPL is even less than BIS anticipated – I wonder how many of those men who do take it have a parallel project alongside it?
It is not rocket science.

absolutely ! Women’s movements have always been strictly about women’s well-being and perks,and women’s wellbeing only. Never mind the rest of the society, even if it collapses under the strain. (ironically, it is already doing just that)
