A tip of the hat to Bettina for this (video, 14:40).

Our thanks to Steve for this. Near the end of the piece:

Pointon broke down in tears and asked if she could drop the charges when her account was challenged by police…

Judge Christopher Batty told her: “Your malicious complaint has done a huge disservice to those seeking justice through the police and courts.”

Why do judges never make the point that false rape allegations are very damaging to men, in part due to their lack of anonymity, and offer them some sympathy?

I refer again to Janet Bloomfield’s piece, 13 reasons women lie about being raped, Hannah Wallen’s 6 dangerous rape myths, and Jonathan Taylor’s 10 reasons false rape accusations are common.

Our thanks to Jeff for this. Being a BBC article, we should not be surprised at this piece of propaganda:

But most people have assumed the other shoe may have borne a word to send a message to a real-world patriarchy in Hollywood and beyond. [J4MB emphasis]

Then this:

Moss also said there’s “still a lot of work to be done”, adding: “There are still meetings you walk into and you wonder if they say ‘no’ because it’s a show or film led by a woman.”

The bottom line for Moss and other idiotic feminists? Every rejection of a woman’s work is a manifestation of sexism, because women’s shows and films are always of the highest quality. Unlike men, women are incapable of producing poor work.

Then a sentence of interest only to female readers of the piece:

Moss paired the customised Olgana Paris heels with a pale pink Prabal Gurung gown.

Swayne O’Pie, a longstanding anti-feminist campaigner, and the author of Why Britain Hates Men: Exposing Feminism, has started a project to gather information on venues that privilege women and/or girls over men and/or boys. Potential examples include:

• ‘women only’ sessions in gyms, swimming pools…
• venues offering women free (or cheaper) entrance
• pubs and clubs offering free (or cheaper) drinks to women
• library facilities open only to women at certain times

If you’re aware of any such things, please get in touch with Swayne at info@exposingfeminism.co.uk. Thanks.

Excellent.

Our thanks to Paul for this piece (video, 17:44) by The Glass Blind Spot. Jess Phillips’s absurd calls for intervention on social media is covered over 11:58 – 17:30.

Our thanks to Mike P for this.

If you’ve never been at a protest before, or never been at an anti-MGM protest, I urge you to make the protest in Manchester your first. You’ll find a warm welcome, and you’ll be contributing to ending the illegal and harmful human rights violation that MGM undoubtedly is. We’ve invested heavily in new materials including new banners, placards, and leaflets. New placards will include ones pointing to the Jewish case against MGM, and the Muslim case against it.

In 2015 and 2016 we organized anti-MGM protests outside the Tory party conferences, making thousands of people aware (many for the first time) that MGM is illegal, unethical, physically and sometimes psychologically damaging. Video footage from the 2015 conference is here (3:13) and the 2016 conference here (16:04).

The Tory conference website is here. I urge you to support this important protest, and if you expect to be able to attend, please email me (mike@j4mb.org.uk) or call me (07967 026163), so we have an idea of numbers. I look forward to meeting you there. We shall as usual be video recording with both videocams and bodycams.

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.

Inevitable. Doubtless he’ll soon be fired. He said nothing wrong, and accordingly he should never have apologised. Apologies are always the first step in a predictable process that lead to professional ruin, because they’re (wrongly) taken as an admission of guilt. An extract from the Irish Times piece:

Speaking at his party think-in in Co Tipperary on Friday, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: “I strongly disagree with the comments that he made. Nobody who is raped or sexually assaulted is ever responsible for that in any way. [J4MB: Our emphasis.]

“So I totally disagree with and abhor the comments that he made. He has since then of course apologised, apologised profusely and I think he does understand that what he said about this issue and on that occasion also in the past is unacceptable,” he said on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland.

“I think it’s indicative of attitudes that still exist in Irish society that need to change.”

What attitudes need to change in Irish society? Telling the unpalatable truth? Shame on Leo Varadkar, and shame on all George Hook’s critics.

I’m pleased to publicise two things happening on the afternoon / evening of International Men’s Day, 19 November. The first is the Men’s March, starting at 12:00 in Trafalgar Square, London. The second is Messages for Men, a conference from 15:00 – 20:00, at a London location yet to be announced. The nine speakers include Neil Lyndon, Belinda Brown and myself.

A list of the speakers, and a link to the ticket ordering page (tickets cost a very reasonable £11.21) are here. If you’re thinking of going to the conference I strongly recommend you order your ticket(s) now. I don’t think they’ll be around for long.

Belinda will also be speaking at ICMI18, 10 of the 15 speakers have so far been announced – here. I hope to see you at both the march and the conference. It promises to be a great day.
