A tip of the hat to Gary Costanza of AVfM for this.

I’ll be flying to Australia on Monday, and have quite a few things to do before I go – including finishing my conference speech – so the office will close at 5pm today, and re-open at 9am on Thursday 15 June.

The flight to Sydney (the first leg of my journey to Gold Coast) will take 22 hours non-stop, and I have a major radio interview scheduled for a few hours after my arrival.

My thanks to all the party members and donors who make such trips – and our campaigning in general – possible. If you’re not already a party member, maybe now is the time to become one, to start changing the world for men and boys? Membership is available from just £5.00 pcm – Bronze membership – details here. Alternatively, feel free to take out a higher grade of membership, up to £100.00 pcm for Diamond membership. Thanks for your support.

An article from NBC News. Good to see this included:

But the controversial politician also has his own female following, known as the Ladies for Philip Davies.

Elizabeth Hobson, a co-founder of the group, said most lawmakers were turning a blind eye to men’s rights and that boys risked being left behind.

“Look at domestic violence. Some statistics show that men make up half of the victims of domestic abuse but groups supporting male victims are not getting funding,” she told NBC News.

“Philip Davies is the only man in parliament willing to stand up and say the things that need to be said.”

Our thanks to Ray for this. Fat is a feminist issue, after all, just not in the way Susie Orbach believes.

Ruby Hamad is a Sydney-based feminist journalist and filmmaker. Our thanks to Kate for pointing us to her piece in the Sydney Morning Herald. Kate describes it as ‘hilarious’. An excerpt:

To equate them [J4MB: prominent feminists] with men’s rights activism, a far less intellectually as well as ethically rigorous movement, [J4MB: seriously, that’s what the intellectually-challenged Ms Hamad wrote! Feminist positions have always been based on nothing more than conspiracy theories, fantasies, lies, delusions and myths. She should check out our Lying Feminist of the Month awards] which only sprang up recently – not as a rights movement seeking to redress structural inequalities, but as a backlash against feminism – is both unfair and irresponsible.

Our thanks to Keith for this piece in Heat Street. It’s good to see the article, but (as usual) dispiriting to read content like this:

Another says “foreskin contains 20,000 specialized nerve endings. Circumcision removes them.” And perhaps the most novel argument against the practice; “circumcision was introduced in America as a way to ‘cure’ masturbation in boys.” Certainly many Jewish people would not agree as the practice first appeared in the bible. [J4MB: The prior sentence says ‘in America’, meaning the United States – it surely alludes to Kellogg, and his ilk, who favoured both MGM and the application of carbolic acid to girls’ clitorises to ‘cure’ masturbation – which then didn’t exist as a country, and wouldn’t exist until thousands of years afterwards.]

Widespread circumcision in the U.S. is a product of medical research that showed it was a way to prevent infection and disease. [J4MB: No ‘medical research’ that bears scrutiny has EVER showed that.]

Our thanks to Patrick for this piece in The Independent. It’s good to see the publicity, but you have to despair of article content like this:

Unlike FGM, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) considers a harmful practice, circumcision is considered to be better for hygiene.

It is also thought to decrease the risk of urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases and penile cancer.
