The Initiation Society is an organization for mohelim, Jewish ritual circumcisers. Followers of this blog will need no reminder that all mohelim who practise in the UK are criminals, because non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors (Male Genital Mutilation, MGM) is at least Actual Bodily Harm, probably Grievous Bodily Harm, under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. No religious or cultural exemptions are permitted in UK courts.

We plan to step up our peaceful protests outside premises in which mohelim carry out their illegal butchery of boys’ genitals. We’ve archived the website of the Initiation Society – here. 63 mohelim are named, and their contact details provided. Their locations are:

• London (Stamford Hill, Tottenham, Edgware, Golders Green, Hendon)
• Borehamwood & Elstree
• Brighton & Hove
• Ilford
• Whitefield
• Salford & Prestwich
• Leigh / Lancashire
• South Manchester

If you live in any of these areas and would like us to join with you in a protest, please contact us (info@j4mb.org.uk). Thank you.

Our thanks to Martin for an absurd piece in The Guardian. Let’s open up all sports tournaments to both sexes. Hmm, how would that work out for women and girls?

This is your final invitation to help us promote the 2018 Birmingham conference by standing outside the stadium before and after the local derby of Birmingham City FC v Aston Villa FC which starts at 12:00 on Sunday, 29 October. Please contact us (info@j4mb.org.uk) to let us know you’ll be joining us, so we bring sufficient placards and leaflets. Thanks.

Excellent.

A tip of the hat to William for this. Do join us, it promises to be a memorable day.

An embarrassing piece in The Washington Times.

Our thanks to Jeff for this.

Our thanks to ctguitarguy, who I don’t think we’ve encountered before, for comments he’s posted in response to the video on our YouTube channel of my Sunday Morning Live appearance two days ago:

I don’t believe a land whale like Dawn Foster, who has to be one of the most unattractive creatures I have ever seen has been “sexually harassed”. She wishes.

Love your work Mike. Thought I would add to the discussion because the data shows it’s even worse for males than even you stated. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control added a new category of to its definition of sexual assault and called it “being made to penetrate.” The new definition included being forced to perform intercourse without one’s consent as well as either giving or even receiving oral sex against one’s will.

This is still a narrow definition compared to the famous Campus Sexual Assault Study that alleges one in five college women will be raped, because “rape” according to their definition includes not-quite-full-blown-rapey things such as “forced kissing.”

With the new expanded definition of rape, it suddenly became clear that men were victims of female sexual assault far more than had previously been imagined:

• A 2010 CDC study revealed that men and women were being “made to penetrate” at nearly identical levels – here.

• Bureau of Justice stats from 2013 reveal that according to the FBI’s new definition of rape and sexual violence, a shocking 38% of victims were male – here.

• In 2013, a study published in the JAMA Pediatrics claimed that when “sexual violence” is defined similarly to how the famous campus study framed it—i.e., forced kissing and the like—an astounding 52% of males and 48% of females over age 18 had committed sexual violence at least once in their lives – here.

• A 2008-2009 CDC report revealed that in American juvenile facilities, more than 95% of staff members who molested incarcerated minors were females – here.

• A study going all the way back to 1988 claims that 62.7% of men had experienced “unwanted sexual intercourse” in their lives as compared to 46.3% of women – here.

Laura Bates, a perpetually (and unjustifiably) anxious Special Snowflake, aka The Everyday Whining Project, inaugural member of The Whine Club, makes an effort to appear calm and cheerful:

Our thanks to Belinda for this. The academic in question is Joanna Williams, we’ve frequently linked to her pieces on Spiked. We’ve added her book Women vs Feminism: Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars to our Recommended books list.

My thanks to the people who contacted me with complimentary comments on this (video, 13:25).

Dawn Foster, a whiny sour-faced Guardian journalist who was in the discussion, appeared in a video we linked to in 2016 – here.
