Broadcast last night (audio, 36:44). From the programme website:
Young men are facing a crisis of masculinity. To deal with it, they have options – the manosphere, a mainly online world where the challenges facing 21st century men are exclusively the fault of women, [J4MB: wrong, many are the fault of men] or the anti-manosphere. [J4MB: What the hell is that?]
Philip Tanzer is a Men Rights Activist (or MRA) and manosphere convert who lives in Scotland. He’s already a keyboard warrior, fighting the ‘feminist establishment’ from the highlands of Scotland giving motivational talks to the young men who come to his salon and art gallery. He allows producers to follow him as he attends the International Conference on Men’s Issues in Chicago where many of the main leaders and thinkers that together form the nebulous community congregate, including a British MP, far-right YouTubers and a surprising number of women. Along the way, he gives a unique insight into the individual stories behind the growing group of men in the UK and US who find their tribe in the online forums dedicated to reversing the feminist agenda.
He also meets and debates with men and women [J4MB: feminist “academics”] who believe the manosphere is a dangerous and misogynist place and looks at alternative ways to address the growing levels of mental ill health and suicide in young men – could drumming around a campfire be a better way for men to connect?
Phillip Tanzer does well under difficult circumstances. Note the sinister background music at times e.g. when Philip Davies MP is giving his presentation. Not one prominent MRA was interviewed during the BBC team’s three days at the Chicago conference, but it was good to hear Karen Straughan’s name mentioned. This was always going to be a hit piece, but it will lead some listeners to investigate the manosphere and learn something about men’s issues.

The BBC sent a crew to the Chicago conference, following Phillip Tanzer, and recorded a lot of material. We expect a hit piece, but all publicity for the MRM is good publicity. The highly edited final result, 37 minutes long, will be broadcast on Radio 4 this evening at 8:00 p.m. – Into the Manosphere.

Last Saturday, 26/10/19, Mike and I were joined by several supporters at a ‘Survivor Uprising’ organised by The Court Said. Despite ostensibly being an event to highlight the plight of all sufferers of inter-personal violence in obtaining justice in family courts (as insisted by organisers and attendees), posts on their Facebook page suggested that in fact their mission is very much gendered. From girl power slogans to the feminist claim that men’s feelings are prioritised over women’s safety to statistics based on the guesswork of an American study from 2008 that seems to have been signal boosted (not because it has any relevance to present-day U.K. but) for emotive and propagandist purposes and memes dismissing parental alienation, our concern remains that the activities of this group could serve to entrench the existing bias against fathers in family courts.
A number of the placards at the event further confirmed these suspicions, for example:
Whilst it was difficult to hear the speakers at the event from the distance that the organisers insisted we keep, I did manage to listen to Chris Green, O.B.E., founder of The White Ribbon campaign. He gave a predictable speech that squarely laid the blame for inter-personal violence at the feet of men and called for them to be better.
Natalie Page, one of the organisers, insisted to me that there is a bias against mothers in family courts and that abusive fathers are routinely awarded custody of children.
The organisers were not pleased to see us in general and at one point called over police to move us on, however, after ascertaining that we were simply standing and entertaining polite discussion with people who approached us, the police refused to intervene. Other attendees were more or less reasonable and it transpired that many of us agreed that family courts need to be further opened up to public scrutiny and that allegations of domestic abuse should be subject to findings of fact.
We carried placards:
And we handed out leaflets (page 1, page 2).
Leaflets handed out by other attendees contained some disturbing messaging, insisting that “violent fathers nearly always get contact”, “courts and social services must prioritise the welfare of the child by keeping children with their mother“, “Victims of domestic violence have a right to be protected in court and NOT to be cross-examined by their abuser” (given that Legal Aid is no longer available for those accused of domestic violence, leaving them unrepresented, one wonders whether this statement is suggesting that accusers should not be cross-examined at all). Suggestions to “Strengthen the Domestic Abuse Bill 2019” included an appeal to “End the legal presumption of child contact for fathers with a history of rape and/or domestic abuse” and (just in case you were wondering) that “Family courts must accept all types of evidence – reports to GP, midwife, counsellor, or non-molestation orders…”, and furthermore, asking to “End the use of ‘parental alienation’ to remove children from their mothers.”
All in all, a revealing day underlining the fact that advocacy supporting the rights of fathers and children is so important.
