Our thanks to George for spotting this. ‘Imnotmrabut’ is objecting to the website of ICMI18. It’s perfectly suitable for the task, and readily updateable 24/7/365 – a key requirement – as was the website for ICMI16.
The idea that more sophisticated websites would lead to greatly enhanced attendances at ICMIs is, in my view, deeply flawed. The target audiences for ICMIs are those with an interest in men’s issues, and the ICMIs soon come to their notice. What would help would be mainstream media exposure in advance, but those media are hostile to MRAs in general, or at best indifferent. Martin Daubney and Peter Lloyd (referenced in the rant) aren’t publicly hostile towards feminism and feminists, hence their mainstream media exposure.
I have a strong hunch who ‘Imnotmrabut’ is, but I’ll keep that to myself. I’d prefer that he have the courage of his convictions, and revealed his identity, as I have for many years. He’s just posted another rant on Reddit. It’s full of inaccuracies, but I have neither the time nor the will to correct them, other than to say the media were NOT banned from ICMI16 or ICMI17, and were present at both. They were banned from recording the presentations, for practical and other reasons. Those presentations (36 across the two conferences) can be found on Paul Elam’s YouTube channel, and ours.
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.

‘I have a strong hunch who ‘Imnotmrabut’ is … ‘
I can say with absolute certainty who he isn’t; he isn’t Mr Abut. :))

What little insight I possess suggests to me that, while it is easy to criticise, it is much harder to get anything done. Given the total opposition to these issues from all departments of the State and given the abject apathy from 99.9% of men, it is no less than a miracle that a tireless stalwart such as Mike Buchanan pushes forward as much as he does.

Thanks Godfrey. Why doesn’t the man (a) reveal his identity, and (b) simply do what he’s suggesting I do, thereby show all of us how it should be done? Most of his ideas are absurd, and the piece is little more than a personal attack, from someone I assume has done nothing in the MRM – and note his Reddit name, ‘imnotanmrabut’, says it all, really. Also objects to our anti-feminism. The man’s so stupid he doesn’t seem to have realised the exposure of Martin Daubney and Peter Lloyd is attributable to them being… er… journalists. Doh!

I could not agree more, Mr Buchanan. The last thing that the MRM needs is an actor such as ‘imnotanmrabut’, who appears determined to wreck the mission of the MRM by a cowardly policy of appeasement.
