The solution to this form of paternal fraud – which is more common than is generally supposed – is both simple and inexpensive, compulsory paternity testing at birth. It’s one of the proposals we made in our 2015 general election manifesto (pp.52-4).

Our thanks to Rick for this (video, 10:05). We’ve just added it to the Miscellaneous playlist (50 videos) on our YouTube channel (359 video and audio pieces, dating back to late 2012, a few months before we launched J4MB).

The last file we posted on the Miscellaneous playlist was a hugely influential video by the legendary British videomaker ManWomanMyth, Feminism is the Pursuit of Female Supremacy (video, 13:00). It opens with a memorable scene from The Two Ronnies.

On the subject of comedy, you might like to check out our Comedy playlist, 26 videos, every one of them a hand-picked gem. J4MB is, after all, the party which put the “fun” into “fun party”.

An intriguing new piece from William Collins. At last, an intelligent alternative to the ludicrous Global Gender Gap Report (GGGR). The latter is nothing more than feminist propaganda, spewed out annually by the World Economic Forum. The new alternative is the Basic Index of Gender Inequality (BIGI). We look forward to it developing over time, and getting some traction with the media. I’ve posted the following comments on the article:

It’s a shame BIGI doesn’t also consider gender differences in human rights (protection from genital mutilation being an obvious example, support for victims of domestic violence another). The figure for male disadvantage would then be much higher.

Just before Christmas I sent a letter to Maria Miller, Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, along with copies to all members of the committee.

I pointed out the sexist bias of the committee and their neglect of issues pertaining to men and boys (whilst acknowledging the positive input of Philip Davies) – and offered the expertise of myself and Mike Buchanan to help inform them of said issues. I will update the blog with details of any responses in due course.

The letter:

Appalling. What will these unfortunate boys be told as they grow up? That the doctor who mangled their penises was only suspended from work for five months? What will that tell them about how they’re valued by society?

A piece by Brendan O’Neill for The Spectator. You don’t need to be a subscriber to access it.

Our thanks to Nick for this. An extract:

Her solicitor, Harriet Wistrich, thinks the new law should be accepted as “new evidence” in the case.

She believes this is the first time coercive control has been used as a defence in a murder appeal.

Ideally, Ms Wistrich wants the conviction reduced to manslaughter. But she anticipates facing an argument that evidence of Richard’s controlling behaviour had been available at the original trial.

The fact that the family want to see her freed and none of Richard’s friends or relatives has come forward to say otherwise, is significant, she believes. But she fears the fact Sally brought the hammer with her “with a conditional intent to use it”, suggests some premeditation. This could mean the murder conviction will stand, says Ms Wistrich.

Both grown-up sons back the legal challenge, with David clear that his father’s treatment of his mother is a textbook example of coercive control.

“It was tick, tick, tick – everything: financial abuse, psychological manipulation, controlling her freedom of movement, just controlling every facet of her mind… It was almost like she was a robot and he punched in the commands of what she had to do.”

Ms Wistrich’s Wikipedia page is here. The start of the page:

Harriet K. Wistrich (born 1960) is an English solicitor and radical feminist who specialises in human-rights cases, particularly cases involving women who have been sexually assaulted or who have killed their violent partners. She works for Birnberg Pierce & Partners in London. She was Liberty’s Human Rights Lawyer of the Year in 2014.

Wistrich is co-founder of Justice for Women, the feminist law-reform group, and founding director of the Centre for Women’s Justice. She has written for The Guardian and is the editor, with her partner Julie Bindel, of The Map of My Life: The Story of Emma Humphreys (2003).

Nick writes:

Mike, it looks like this will become the “get out of jail free” card for every woman who kills her partner.

Indeed. A feminist dream come true – the right to kill male partners, and suffer no punishment in consequence.

Our thanks to Steve for this, emphases ours:

Jade Nicholson launched the series of attacks in separate incidents just over a week apart during the summer.

But a judge sitting at Swindon Crown Court said he would give her a chance to stay out of trouble by putting off sentence for four months.

Chris Smyth, prosecuting, said the first matter happened on Friday July 27 when police found Nicholson in an extremely intoxicated state.

“They were trying to do the best by her, taking her to hospital,” he said, but on the way she twice spat at a paramedic.

When she was fit to go home the officers went to take her to The Foyer but she continued to be abusive trying to bite one and repeatedly hitting the other.

Mr Smyth said neither the male officer she tried to bite or the female she hit reported any physical injuries.

Just over a week later on August 4 Nicholson was in the Foyer, on Bath Road, when she went to a neighbour’s room.

After banging on the door she went in and started to accuse the occupant of raping a young girl.

Then, out of nowhere she punched him hard to the left side of his face leaving him with bruising.

Nicholson pleaded guilty to two counts of common assault and two of assaulting a police officer.

In May 2017 she was put on a 21 month jail term suspended for two years for stabbing Peter Gallagher with a steak knife.

Sentencing her then, Recorder Malcolm Gibney told her to take the opportunity. ” You are very unlikely to get another opportunity such as this, particularly bearing in mind your history.”

Richard Williams, defending, explained his client had been working with the Nelson Trust and completing the probation work on the suspended sentence.

Judge Robert Pawson said: “The position is Miss Nicholson, as you know, you have had an extremely difficult upbringing in way of childhood and adolescence.

“As tough as it may sound, you are 22. You are an adult. You are responsible for your actions.” [J4MB: So why didn’t he pass sentence accordingly?]

He said he would defer sentence to April and said she will not go to jail if she stays out of trouble, complies with her community order and other agencies.

“Normally the law says I should activate a suspended sentence. Given what I have heard and read it seems to me it would be unjust,” he said. [J4MB: WHY would it be unjust, other than because vagina?]
