Our thanks to Stu for this. He first sent me a link while the trial was ongoing. I speed-read the piece, and concluded that the likelihood of this 22-year-old mother of a young child being given a custodial sentence was precisely zero, so I was surprised when she was given one. The piece explains why she was:

At the time of the incident, she was subject to a suspended sentence for a string of previous convictions for robbery, thefts and assault. [my emphasis]

Footage of the confrontation was filmed on the presenter’s helmet camera and posted online, where it has since had millions of views.

I was interviewed by Jeremy Vine for his Radio 2 show in March 2013, a couple of weeks after the launch of J4MB. The audio file (18:25) is here. The other interviewee was Special Snowflake herself, Laura Bates of the Everyday Whining Project. The ‘project’ is, of course, deeply sexist:

The Everyday Sexism project aims to take a step towards gender equality, by proving wrong those who tell women [my emphasis] that they can’t complain because we are equal. It is a place to record stories of sexism faced on a daily basis, by ordinary women, [my emphasis] in ordinary places.

Ms Bates married a deeply unfortunate man, Nick Taylor, in 2014. If they have a son, will he be known as Master Taylor? Perhaps, as a feminist, she should give him her own surname, making him Master Bates?

A day or two before our interviews with Jeremy Vine I emailed Ms Bates, to inform her about J4MB. My email couldn’t have been more polite, but she didn’t respond.

During the interview Jeremy Vine asked her if she was reading her lines off a piece of paper. She was, but denied it. Shortly after we were ‘off air’, when I was trying to make some small talk, she became angry and said (in a loud voice so Jeremy Vine, sitting ten feet away, could hear) something along the following lines:

Will you stop sending me abusive emails!!!

I replied calmly that I’d done no such thing, I’d sent her an email informing her of our party’s positions. She glared at me, stamped her foot, then stormed out of the studio. Jeremy Vine was open-mouthed in amazement. Bates has since been invited back on the show many times, I’m told, while I haven’t been.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. The start of the piece:

Britain’s new top police officer last night said diversity was at the heart of her role…

You’d have hoped crime reduction was at the heart of her role.

My thanks to M for an email he sent me last Friday, the content:

Good morning Mike,

Just a greeting from a well-wisher, admiring the valuable work you are doing, and a light-hearted suggestion – I have long been irritated by the feminist tactic of denigrating male expression by calling it ‘mansplaining’, and I was appalled to hear that in Sweden there is some government funded helpline for women to call and report their male colleagues who ‘do it’.

In discussing this with friends I came up with parallel descriptions which they said they really liked, which should serve to underline the basic offensiveness of women and idiotic men using such a term. Two are favourites among my friends:

• ‘Femibleating’ – the whingy moans and complaints about the sort of things men take in their stride and don’t complaint about.
• ‘Femiwittering’ – the opposite of macho culture office banter, in which we have to put up with girly-centred prattle about things we find suffocatingly boring.

I would like to promote the wider use of these terms, to be used in direct response to feminists complaining about a macho culture or mansplaining. Perhaps you could make use of them. The feminists won’t like it, but how can they, in fairness, complain about parallel sexist terms? We can beat them at their own game, and if they stop it, we can stop it.

All the best!

Our thanks to Sean for this (video, 3:43). The narrator is clearly Sargon of Akkad, though the piece is on someone else’s YouTube channel. It’s had over 83,000 views in just two days.

Over the next day or two we’ll be posting links to pieces originally published in the past five or six days, during our office closure. Our thanks to Stu for this. No outrage from the feminists, so far as I’m aware, because the alleged criminal is a woman – which is hardly surprising, given that FGM is almost invariably carried out by women, at the behest of women. The denial of this stark reality by the CPS/police in the UK inevitably leads to more FGM and no convictions, but hey, it provides employment for otherwise unemployable men-hating women in the FGM industry. In a similar vein, feminists’ demands that women shouldn’t be held responsible for their own protection by drinking alcohol moderately leads to more rapes, and employment for otherwise unemployable men-hating women in the rape industry.

Despite consistent Downing Street claims in recent months that Theresa May wouldn’t call an early general election, we believed it likely that she would, if only because of the persistent strong Conservative leads over Labour in major opinion polls (currently around 20%).

The election will be on June 8, a little over seven weeks away. We shall not use our limited resources in fielding candidates for the election. It will take years of campaigning efforts – on the street and elsewhere – to raise the awareness of large numbers of voters about the issues we campaign about.

We were planning to launch our street campaigning on July 8, giving us almost three years before the 2020 general election. Following today’s announcement we may still launch it on the same day, giving us five years before the June 2022 general election.

Onwards and upwards!

Just announced. The papers at the weekend were reporting two major polls showing the Conservatives have a 21-point lead over Labour.

Our thanks to Martin for this, an article titled, ‘Women face pension crisis as savings gap set to widen’. The bottom line? Compared with men, women:

– are less interested in pensions, so they…
– save a great deal less towards their pensions, so they…
– will get smaller pensions on retirement

It’s not exactly rocket science, is it?

The cause of the manufactured pension ‘crisis’ is, of course, that many women expect others – partners, taxpayers, ideally both – to look after them financially, an expectation of few men. The ‘crisis’ would of course be solved by women as a class taking more responsibility for themselves, taking an interest in pensions, and saving the same as men as a class, but obviously this isn’t an option seriously considered in the article, which starts:

Women face working well past retirement age or becoming increasingly dependent on their partner’s finances as research reveals men have three times more in pensions savings – a difference of nearly £50,000.

On average, women are saving about £24,900 for their pension compared to £73,600 saved by men, according to findings from Edinburgh- based insurance firm Aegon.

Cue the first genius cited in the piece:

Kate Smith, head of pensions at Aegon, said a number of reasons contributed to the “stark” difference.

She said an auto-enrolment policy had successfully introduced 7.6 million people to workplace pensions, but the gender pay gap, which is currently 13.9 per cent, meant that men were effectively saving more “without even thinking about it”.

Yes, the ‘gender pay gap’ of 13.9 per cent accounts in large measure for men saving nearly three times more on average than women towards their pensions. Give me strength. What other applicants were there for her position? Chimpanzees? Her contribution ends with this:

She added that both the industry and employers had an important role in making pensions more accessible for women.

Why, that damned patriarchy, making pensions less accessible to women than to men!

For sheer knuckle-grazing, eye-rolling, tongue-lolling stupidity, we turn to the taxpayer-funded parasite quoted at the end of the piece:

However, Kirstein Rummery, professor of Social Policy and co-director of the Centre For Gender and Feminist Studies at the University of Stirling, said there was a “collective responsibility” to make up the economic shortfall, rather than place the burden on women themselves.

So there we have it, an archetypal feminist ‘solution’ to a ‘problem’.

As well as saving for their own private pensions, men should pay for women’s private pensions, too. Despite the fact that state pensions are paid for not from historic tax collection, but from current tax collection, and men in the UK pay almost 75 per cent of the income tax collected by the government. The ‘professor’ appears to have nothing to say on the income tax gender gap.

How I loathe taxpayer-funded feminist parasites like Kirstein Rummery. I’m going to recommend at the next meeting of the Patriarchy Council that her lamentable department is de-funded. Then she could apply for jobs in the disciplines in which feminists are woefully under-represented, such as bomb disposal.

In May 2015 the ‘professor’ won our Gormless Feminist of the Month award for a comment she made in relation to the false claim that appointing more women onto corporate boards leads to improved financial performance. Her certificate is here. It includes a link to an excellent riposte from Herbert Purdy. An extract from his piece:

When you first read your cited work, did it not cause you immediately to question its obvious bias and screamingly obvious correlation/causation error? If one of my students had come up with a comment like yours, I would have been having a very serious word with her, suggesting firmly that she revisit some of the principles of the philosophy of research. Your thinking is puerile. It would never pass even at undergraduate level, let alone doctoral/professorial level, and it ill-befits the title of professor.

You are a typical example of the low-grade people who are now gaining academic chairs in what we used to call universities – centres of the pursuit of learning and truth – but are now little more than madrassas of the now threadbare, wholly discredited Marxist ideology of feminism. You are a promoter of feminism.

Several tips of the hat to Geoff for his generous donation of £100 towards this fundraiser, the total now stands at £960, still some way short of the £2,000 target. I’ve just donated £20 from my own limited funds (not J4MB funds).

With seven weeks remaining before the next International Conference on Men’s Issues, in Australia, time is rapidly running out to fund flights and other costs of Anthony Corniche, the man who did such a great job filming and editing the talks at the London conference last July – here (scroll down to 8-10 July).

Anthony will be devoting an enormous amount of time and effort to the project – post-filming editing takes up far more time and effort than the filming itself – and if his fundraiser isn’t successful (£1,040 more is required at this point) there will be no video record of the conference presentations. Anthony recently posted this on the website:

Everyone who has and will donate is going to get a credit on the videos when released.

The bigger the donation the bigger the credit text.

I will contact donors when in editing process around the end of June or early July.

If the fundraiser meets its target, the videos will be made available to view at no cost, on the J4MB and AVfM websites.

Please donate what you can, to help make this important project a reality. Thanks.
