The Tab: “Protesters allegedly pushed and spat on by members of anti-feminist group J4MB”

My thanks to Danuta for pointing me to a ridiculous story in The Tab, which was apparently pulled within an hour of publication this morning. The (broken) link is here, the headline of the piece obvious from the link URL:

We look forward to another piece from the geniuses at The Tab, maybe with the headline:

Protesters allegedly raped by members of anti-feminist group J4MB.

Varsity: J4MB leader doused in milkshake at Wetherspoons

A piece published a couple of hours after two women threw McDonald’s milkshakes over me this afternoon, the photograph taken by their bearded mangina accomplice doesn’t include my face. Contrary to the article’s claim, I was the sole target. The pub’s CCTV recorded the incident, and we look forward to charges being pressed in due course. My thanks to the amazing supporters who chased and caught up with the assailants.

The talks went ahead as planned, despite a howling mob outside seeking to stop people entering the building, and making a loud din throughout the talks (which will add atmospheric background in the videos, to be published in due course). A man who attended the event, along with his 16-year-old son, were attacked after the event, police took statements.

We look forward to returning to Cambridge University in due course, but Oxford University will probably be the next one.

Mike has been targeted with a milkshake protest

Predictably, several activists have targeted Mike as we sat in the garden of The Regal, and covered him in milkshake. One offender has been apprehended by Natty Kadifa and Jordan Holbrook and the police are on their way to the scene. Descriptions of the rest have been given to the police and they are clearly visible on CCTV. We will be pressing charges. Note: Natty’s baby boy was distressed by the commotion.

Allied Irish Bank teams up with Women’s Aid to roll out feminist propaganda on “financial abuse”

Our thanks to Steve for this (video, 1:59). Ironically, the video makes the point that women see men as ATMs (financial objectification, anyone?). It seems that not allowing your female partner to spend your money as she sees fit, maybe to the point of your bankruptcy, is “financial abuse”. As usual with feminist propaganda videos, the only intelligent content is in the comments section. Examples:

Kian Oliver: Like lads suffer from this as well and nobody talks about it, people just have the assumption that men are to blame for all mishaps in society, and it’s not right.

Simon Sterne: Now… Come on AIB… let’s have an ad portraying the financial abuse of men… Or maybe both genders instead of focusing on just one…

Robyn Gaines: And the statistics for men affected by this issue???

Lei P: Closing my AIB account after this man hating advert.

WillyDIreland: 198,000 lads doing things right.
