Our thanks to Sean for this gem (2:59). More than 1.5 million views since it was posted two days ago. If you don’t laugh, have someone check your pulse.

A piece published yesterday on TCW. It includes a link to Jordan Peterson’s interview on the BBC Radio 4 programme Start the Week.

Our thanks to MIke P for this. What could be more iniquitous than losing income you’ve worked for, to an ex-wife who didn’t work for it, possibly many years after divorce? An extract:

Grace Brass-Neck, [J4MB: We may have added a word there…] a solicitor specialising in family law at Slater and Gordon, said: “Often the person with the higher pension, and I have to say it is usually the man, will want to keep it and offset the cost, perhaps by offering greater equity in the family home.

A tip of the hat to Janice Fiamengo for this piece just published by American Thinker. I’ve posted some comments in response to another commenter, and invite you to post some comments too.

An insightful piece by Nick Langford.

A piece by Matthew Moore in today’s Times:

The BBC no longer wants TV shows in which white, middle-aged men stand up and explain things, according to one of the corporation’s senior executives.

Old-fashioned programmes that feature individual presenters imparting their knowledge of a subject to viewers are too “static” and no longer excite audiences, Cassian Harrison, editor of BBC Four, told the Edinburgh Television Festival yesterday

He said controllers of other channels, including BBC Two, had also taken against the outdated presenting format. “There’s a mode of programming that involves a presenter, usually white, middle-aged and male, [J4MB: Racism, ageism, sexism – as per “male, pale, and stale”] standing on a hill and ‘telling you like it is’. We all recognise the era of that has passed.

“What we’re looking for is different ways to shift a form. Different ways we can bring that specialism, that information, that insight to audiences.” [J4MB: … while using the absolute minimum of white, middle-aged men, we can safely assume – mainly by increasing yet further the already ridiculously high number of female “speaking heads” on BBC.]

Tom, the man responsible for the filming of ICMI18 presentations, along with Vince, and the editor of the footage, has created a video to thank the speakers, other conference attendees, and donors to his fundraiser for equipment. Enjoy (1:30).

Another excellent piece from HEqual.

Our thanks to Ken for this, and a tip of the hat to Alex Salmond for his vigorous response to the actions of the Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government, Leslie Evans.

Our thanks to Tony for this. Good to see Mark Brooks’s involvement in the review. An extract, emphases ours:

Mr Edwards’ death, in August 2015, was the culmination of months of violence.

A Chorley Council domestic homicide review found two GPs had failed to ask the solicitor how he was injured, as did Chorley Hospital’s A&E unit in July 2015.

He told a paramedic about the abuse but a failure to follow procedures meant the report was not escalated to managers.

A perception that men were not domestic abuse victims may have contributed to the situation, the report concluded. 

Gail Naylor, of Lancashire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, said: “We have since reviewed our domestic abuse training to ensure our staff are aware that both men and women can be affected by this issue.” [So the previous “domestic abuse training” did not make staff aware men can be victims of domestic abuse? OUTRAGEOUS. Who carried out this “training”, obviously based on the utterly discredited Duluth model? Women’s Aid? Refuge?]
