J4MB has just donated £60.00 to take this important crowdfunder to £1,000. Our thanks to all those – particularly J4MB suporters – who’ve generously donated so far. The rest of this blog piece is the same as the original piece we posted on this matter, about five weeks ago.

The fifth International Conference on Men’s Issues will take place in Chicago over August 16-18. The conference website is here. We confidently expect it will be be the best conference in the series to date.

A British videographer, Anthony J Corniche III, has recorded and edited the presentations at the last three conferences, and the playlists are here:

2016 – London
2017 – Gold Coast, Australia
2018 – London

Anthony has not charged for his time and expertise, but he should not be left out of pocket for his efforts. So we urge you strongly to contribute what you can to his new fundraiser to raise £1,500 towards his costs of attending the Chicago conference, and transporting a good deal of equipment there. Depending on the size of your donation, you can ask for your name to appear in the video credits. Details at the bottom of the appeal. Thank you.

Our thanks to Steven for this, concerning a piece on The Victoria Derbyshire Show. From the brief BBC description:

“Mike” was trafficked to the UK aged 12, while “Peter” was used as a sex slave for six years.

In typical BBC fashion, nothing there to suggest the people who used “Peter” as a sex slave were women, yet that’s made clear in the video (2:05). Three or four women per day. By omitting the sex of the abusers, the BBC are cynically leading people to assume that the abusers were male, and if they don’t watch the video, they’d be none the wiser.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. The start of the piece:

No one could accuse actress Charlize Theron of following the crowd.

Take, for example, the case of her elder child, seven-year-old Jackson, who was adopted as a baby and introduced to the world as a boy.

For years now, rumours have swirled that Charlize has, in fact, been raising Jackson as a girl.

As photographs have appeared of the child wearing skirts and dresses and with long, braided hair, Hollywood gossips have wondered what on earth Jackson’s mother thought she was doing.

But when asked about it on a sunny morning in Beverly Hills, Charlize is matter-of-fact.

Not only is she raising Jackson as a girl — in fact, she says, Jackson is every bit as much a girl as her three-year-old sister, August.

‘Yes, I thought she was a boy, too,’ Charlize agrees, briskly. ‘Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: ‘I am not a boy!’

‘So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.

‘They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide.

‘My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be.

‘And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that.’

Our thanks to Ian for this, a lengthy piece by Caroline Lowbridge for the BBC, about yet another tragic death resulting from the butchery of males’ genitals. I can’t recall the BBC publishing such a strong and well-informed piece on MGM before now.

Just received from Tina:

Hi Everybody,

Well, I finally managed to interview Janice Fiamengo this week after various attempts in the past which floundered over internet problems. I’m sure she will need no introduction for many of you who are familiar with her YouTube channel, The Fiamengo Files.

But for those of you who haven’t come across this fabulous woman, I’ll just tell you a few of the reasons I was so keen on talking to her.

Janice is a professor of English at the University of Ottawa and for years now she has been speaking out about the appallingly anti-male culture developing on university campuses. This really hit home to her when she found herself on academic committees making decisions about jobs and promotions and noticed very able men were constantly being overlooked, with  positions being offered to far less impressive women who had nothing like the same experience or qualifications. You will hear in our interview about the hostile reactions she encountered when she started to speak out about this.

This simply made her more determined to voice her concern about what was happening and she’s spent the last few years making YouTube videos exposing what is going on in Canadian Universities.  Like the dreadful cases of eminent academics being targeted by #MeToo accusations and other males being hung out to dry in all sorts of ways. Then there’s the promotion of the campus rape scare campaign. Like me, Janice has been subjected to protests from feminist activists and has had some of her talks shut down. It’s pretty funny seeing the feminists chanting the same slogans at us both, two women on opposite sides of the world, taking on the same crazy nonsense.

Janice also hears constantly from men in trouble and some years ago decided to put together a book of personal stories from men about how they cope in this feminised world. Sons of Feminism is an amazing collection, including tales from young men about school years where they were constantly in strife for normal boyish behaviour, nerdy men who have never dared risk going near women, frightening stories from professionals in all sorts of work environments where men are being demonised and tales of men given unfair treatment in the courts. It really gives an overview of where we are now and why we must all get active to try to find ways to change the culture. Here’s links for ordering the book: paperback – https://amzn.to/2UE1DJ3 and on kindle: https://amzn.to/2UJWorm

So here’s the complete video. It’s pretty long – we have so much in common it was very hard to stop talking! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpVDpoK_4_E

But we have also done a shorter version of highlights, for those who’d like a taste of what we discussed : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KUuv5cSo48

It would be great if you could help promote both of these.

Meet us in Chicago next August at ICMI 19 

 I’ll be excited to meet Janice at the International Conference on Men’s Issues in Chicago next August and hope some of you might be able to join us. Many of the leading lights from the men’s rights movement will be speaking, including Karen Straughan, Diana Davison, Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad), Paul Elam and Mike Buchanan.

Our thanks to Paul Elam for this.

Feminism has for many decades been a death cult. It’s now becoming a racist death cult as well, with Janine Boyd determined to give unborn black children less state protection against being killed, than unborn white children.
