Researching Reform: UN Human Rights Office call for submissions – Contact cases, parental alienation, and violence against children and women

This piece was published earlier today. Time and again the Researching Reform website is utterly blind to men’s and boys’ issues, as I’ve pointed out in relation to domestic violence in the comments stream. I invite you to post your own comments. Thanks.

Another reminder (#274) that Laura Bates is a blithering idiot

There’s an excruciating article by Special Snowflake in yesterday’s Guardian, There is no ‘war on men’ – we now know feminism is good for boys. It starts with this:

Disappointing news today for those who blame feminism for the problems facing young men: research shows that challenging gender stereotypes and misogyny helps boys too.

The “research” comes in the form of a “report” from The Global Boyhood Initiative. From their website:

The Global Boyhood Initiative is informed by intersectional, feminist principles and aims to contribute to a more just, nonviolent and equal world.

Just the sort of organization whose “reports” we’d expect to see cited by Special Snowflake. Hmm, I wonder if she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

Melanie Saunders, 44, became fat after eating too much and exercising too little. Man responsible.

Lisa Noriega, 51, stole £100,000 worth of rare teddy bears from her boss and sold them on eBay. Derisory prison sentence.

Our thanks to Amy for this. She writes:

I doubt she’ll even serve the one year sentence. Not much punishment for stealing £100,000 worth of goods from your employer, is it? As always, an excuse is made for female criminals – in this case, a “gambling addiction”. The “justice” system seems to work on the basis that woman must bear little or no personal responsibility for their actions – unlike men.

Miss Andry’s efforts to improve the accuracy of Mike Buchanan’s Wikipedia entry

My Wikipedia page is here. On the associated “Talk” tab – the second tab on the menu at the top – someone with the unlikely pseudonym of “Miss Andry” (the person is unknown to me) has been making sterling efforts to get the “editors” (almost invariably feminists) to improve the accuracy of the entry, the last time on 16 October:

The term MGM is not a Mike Buchanan invention. It is true that MGM doesn’t receive nearly the same mainstream coverage as FGM. But it is also true that MGM is subject to rabid and fanatical opposition by frothing feminists, gynocentrics, religious zealots, practitioners and the rest of the industry that is heavily invested in the human (especially infant) foreskin trade.

But the term MGM is STILL used. It even found its way in this 2011 article in the The Guardian (yikes! of all places!) by Neil Howard and Rebecca Steinfeld — both doctoral students at Oxford University at the time: “If we oppose female genital mutilation, has the time not come for us also to oppose male genital mutilation?”. MGM is Mike’s stance too. Report it as such, and not what YOU think he should be saying.

These comments have to date attracted no response from the “editors”. Miss Andry has made a number of changes to my entry which have been reversed, as you can see on the “View History” tab.

As you will note on almost all Wikipedia pages on gender political matters, feminists have a huge influence on what is published, and what is not. The page on the Men’s Rights Movement cites five prominent MRAs, three of whom are dead (the only one I’d heard of being Marc Angelucci). The two others are the estimable Erin Pizzey, 83, and Warren Farrell, 79, who would never describe himself as an MRA. Neither Paul Elam nor Janice Fiamengo have their own pages, though there’s a page on AVfM, a hit piece by any standards.
