Academics for Academic Freedom compile a list of individuals who have been banned from speaking at U.K./Irish Universities or faced campaigns to silence them.

Mike and I have been added – I will email them now to fill them in on the latest news (yesterday’s, Student Union unanimous vote to lobby the university to ban us).

I was sorry to hear of the death of Doris Day (97) today. Drop-dead gorgeous in her prime, a talented comic actress, and a wonderful singer. I recently started subscribing to Amazon Unlimited (50+ million tracks for streaming), they have some wonderful compilations of Doris Day songs. Will we ever see her like again? Or are we doomed to suffer BBC-approved “comedians” such as Kate Smurthwaite and Zoe Lyons for years to come?

Our thanks to Dougie for this. Vera Baird QC is vile even by the standards of radical feminists in public life. Our pieces on her are here, including her award for “Toxic Feminist of the Month”.

Since 2010, including Vera Baird, there have been four Victims’ Commissioners. All have been women, none have done anything for men and boys.

I’ve just been asked if our talks at Cambridge University (Elizabeth Hobson, “The History of Feminism”, myself, “Equal Rights for Men and Women”) are still going ahead, given the predictable feminist attempts to have the talks cancelled, by misrepresenting us. I’m pleased to report that their attempts to silence us have proven futile, our right to freedom of speech has triumphed over their lying, bullying, and shaming tactics.

A number of (free) tickets are still available, you can order yours here (maximum two per person, in the light of strong demand). We’re hoping for a memorable event, and going to book venues for more talks at Oxford University and London universities in the autumn, and regularly thereafter, including at universities which are further away.

Elizabeth and I look forward to seeing you in Cambridge, maybe before the event, from lunchtime, or afterwards, at a pub in Cambridge – details here.

I’m constantly impressed by the quality of the postings and comments at UK Men’s Rights Action, the J4MB supporters page on Facebook. Started only recently, it’s quickly built up a strong following. Do pop over to the site and show some encouragement, “like” the page, and maybe comment on some pieces. I’ve just posted some comments on a MGM-related piece, which was posted four hours ago. My thanks to the dedicated people running the site.

A risible piece published by The Tab, a Cambridge online publication, three days ago. Extracts:

And the story doesn’t end there. Because just last week, the University came under fire for agreeing to host a talk at the Alison Richards building by the pathetically titled group ‘Justice for Men and Boys’, which claims that men are treated as ‘subhuman’ and are ‘relentlessly disadvantaged’ by the modern education system. This weird narrative may seem harmless, even if ridiculously embarrassing, but the briefest of looks at their websites shows the dangerous ideologies they promote. One article linked on there, entitled ’13 reasons why women lie about rape’, uses anecdotes to create sweeping generalisations such as that women will do so ‘when they fail their school exams’, a transparent attempt to discredit social movements promoting openness about sexual assaults by presenting women as inherently manipulative and deceitful. Others have even raised concerns about facing harassment from the group, based on their controversial and aggressive social media presence.

There is of course a substantial argument to be made that the University should continue letting people like Noah Carl, Jordan Peterson, and J4MB speak, as failure to do so would be an infringement on the principle of free speech. But an institution as prestigious as Cambridge has a huge responsibility and allowing such groups to speak here runs the terrifying risk of legitimising their prejudiced attitudes…

The underlying principle should therefore be that the University needs to consider the ethical dangers that come from any such extreme views and take care to avoid endorsing hateful speech in any form.

Surely the Cambridge Union does a suitable job of providing a diverse range of controversial opinions, without these views having to be legitimised academically by speakers visiting and working at the University itself…

Free speech’ is undeniably an important concept. But there’s an important distinction to be made between allowing people to share divisive views and handing them a microphone, an audience, and a research fellowship, all so they can continue to perpetuate hatred, pseudoscience and dangerous agendas.

So this article is a call for the University to please just stop giving sexist, racist, and homophobic public figures and questionable social movements a platform. Let them speak freely on the streets of Cambridge if they really want to, but not in our colleges and lecture theatres.
