Just published. I’ve posted the following comments and hope they’ll be published shortly:

Laura, your utter lack of compassion for males is striking. Why focus only on chest surgery, thereby virtually eliminating males? A piece could equally as validly have been titled “The mind-blowing evil of slicing off young boys’ penises”. You write:

“This hatred of the female form must stop. This is female bodily mutilation, a close cousin of female genital mutilation.”

The first sentence is patent nonsense, of the sort I’d expect from rabid feminists, the female form has always been revered. The gender switch makes far more sense:

“This hatred of the male form must stop. This is male bodily mutilation, a close cousin of male genital mutilation.”

FGM has been specifically illegal in the UK since the mid 1980s, while MGM continues unchallenged. Along with FGM, MGM is a crime under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, being at least ABH and probably GBH (this was admitted by a senior government minister when querying the need for new legislation back in the 1980s). It would require a parliamentary override for either MGM or FGM to be legal, and that has never existed. No exemptions to the law are permitted for religious or cultural reasons. The state simply refuses to protect boys (sometimes, only babies) from genital mutilation, to pander to two religions in particular. I tried to take out a private prosecution of Dr Balvinder Mehat, the circumciser of a young boy without getting the mother’s permission, but was refused leave to do so.

If anyone is in the slightest doubt about the grave injury that MGM always is, they would do well to start with a long account on the subject in William Collins’s “The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect”. The paperback costs about £25.00, the ebook about £5.00.

Oh, one last thing. Despite feminist propaganda to the contrary, all MGM is more injurious than most FGM. Biological fact.

The inaugural IDEVAM will be this coming Friday, 18 November, the day before International Men’s Day. Related content from a press release we sent UK-based journalists five days ago:

At last! The inaugural International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against MEN (November 18)

LONDON / November 9, 2022 – Mike Buchanan, leader of the British political party Justice for Men & Boys, writes:

“It’s long been known and reported by researchers that women are at least as likely as men to inflict violence against their opposite-sex partners. Indeed, the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (2013) with summaries of 1,700 peer-reviewed studies – PASK13 – reported that in the minority of opposite-sex couples with domestic violence where the violence was always uni-directional, the perpetrator was TWICE as likely to be the woman as the man.

The support available for male victims of domestic violence is scandalously poor in the UK, as it is globally. As a member of the Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance (DAVIA), it gives me great pleasure to promote the first International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men, on November 18.”

The day will be observed on November 18, 2022. DAVIA invites lawmakers, media representatives, and others to participate in IDEVAM events to be held in locations around the globe. The following have been accomplished:

• Two videos have been produced: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men and 46 Groups Call on U.N. to Address ‘Hidden Epidemic’ of Domestic Violence Against Men.
• 46 organizations from 16 countries sent a letter to the United Nations, calling on the UN to recognize the global problem of violence against men.
• The UN proposal, “Intensification of Efforts to Eliminate All Forms of Violence Against Women and Girls” was analysed for bias and factual accuracy.

Most events for the day will be held at the local level. In Bengal, India, for example, posters stating “Men Are Victims, Too” will be distributed to police stations in Kolkata (Calcutta).

The day will culminate in a one-hour Zoom press conference, beginning at 11:00am Washington DC time. The panellists will consist of leading experts on domestic violence and partner abuse from the United States, United Kingdom, Romania, and India.

The following day, November 19, will be International Men’s Day.

Domestic violence against men represents a hidden epidemic around the world. A compilation of 343 scholarly investigations concluded that “women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners.” These studies were conducted on a broad range of racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups in 40 countries.

As reported by Ann Silvers, the recent trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard revealed that Heard was repeatedly abusive of Depp, both physically and psychologically. On one occasion, Heard hurled a glass at Depp, severing the end of his finger.

Earlier today we sent out a press release to a number of UK-based journalists, majoring on the issue of the proposal in our manifesto (pp.23-7) that from seven weeks after conception, elective abortions should not be made available to women without the prior permission of the child’s father, as established by Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing.

To say the press release has generated a lot of interest would be an understatement. I’ve already been contacted by a number of journalists and expect to be contacted by many more.

On our Laughing at Feminists website there’s a comedy channel with 141 videos, one of which covers the issue of when human life begins, The Magical Birth Canal (79 seconds).

Just published. A journalist at the Mail on Sunday contacted me during the week to comment on the story, the article as a result includes this snippet from my lengthy response:

Attacking the rebranding as ‘a scurrilous attack on a traditional biscuit’, Mike Buchanan of campaign group Justice For Men & Boys, said: ‘This sort of complaint always originates from chronically whiny, malicious harpies with nothing better to do with their time. Rather than standing up to them, targeted organisations almost always fold, to their eternal shame.’

As my good friend Gerry says, you can only hope that as they’re walking along the street, the harpies fall down a personhole. Funnily enough, the only people who ever go down them for work seem to be persons of penis. I suppose the patriarchy keeps women from going down them.

Good news from a pair of Spanish comedians, “professor” Elisa Garcia Mingo and Anita Fuentes, an article titled, “The use of memes as an anti-feminist weapon permeates younger society”. The geniuses write:

The manosphere is gaining more and more relevance in Spain, to the point that we can already speak of a Spanish manosphere. When we talk about manosphere we refer to the conglomerate of heterogeneous virtual spaces that accommodate a multitude of movements based on the propagation of misogynistic and anti-feminist discourses…

Although it may seem that memes are used in a banal way, their creation and strategic circulation show a very high potential for antagonism, as evidenced by the existence of countless accounts of anti-feminist memes with a high number of followers whose sole purpose is it is to spread anti-feminist ideas through the efficient pills of misogyny that are memes.

We are living a memetic war and memes have gone from being tools of feminist political activism [J4MB: So they’re OK when feminists use them…] to being vehicles of anti-feminism that trivialize feminist vindication discourses and strip them of their original ideological content. Anti-feminist memes have co-opted mechanisms such as humor and irony to challenge feminist arguments, taking advantage of the impunity that these strategies confer on their authors to reframe feminist claims as absurd, ridiculous, and illogical.

Breaking news. “Feminist claims” don’t need to be “reframed” to be “absurd, ridiculous and illogical”. They already are.

Good news. Nick Fletcher MP will be introducing the debate on 17 November. We’ve enquired as to whether the public can attend the debate, and if so, exactly where and when it will be held. We’ll post another blog piece when we have the answers.
