The Cows Are Mad
The BBC have a radio series titled The Cows Are Mad. Sadly, it’s not the no-holes-barred history of feminism I was hoping for, but an account of the 1990s BSE crisis.

The real reason for this great resignation is never mentioned in this article. Nursing and linked roles have an age profile that means the sector has been expecting and experiencing this over the past few years. Basically, huge numbers are retiring. A moment’s thought would reveal the writer’s ideas as ridicilous, the number of female consultants? Nurses don’t think that nursing is a route to being a consultant! Nor the gender pay gap as men and women on the same grades get paid the same on a transparent and national pay scale. And of course both men and women in the pandemic had to don PPE. In other words the whole thing is nonsense. A clue is in the one example of a young nurse resignation. For since the profession became degree only there has been a problem with entrants being unprepared for reality. Which of course was rarer when training was on the job and people worked their way up. By the time they qualified they knew what the job entails. As is often the case, nonsense on stilts.

Hi Mike No mention of how men do what I call the 5D jobs: Dirty Dangerous Difficult Disposable Dependable (when women go on strike or call in sick) On Tuesday, I hope Icelandic men decide to go to the pub all day. Best, SteveAn extract from the BBC article:
Women and non-binary people have been urged to refuse paid and unpaid work on Tuesday, including household chores.We look forward to men telling their uppity female partners who don’t (or won’t) engage in paid employment to find alternative accommodation as well as food while they’re “refusing unpaid work”. Maybe, just maybe, the cold of an Icelandic night and hunger will remind the women exactly who pays for their accommodation and food…

International Conference on Men’s Issues – Budapest (10,11 August, 2024)
I am pleased to announce the ICMI24 website is fully operational, and tickets are now on sale. We would urge people wishing to attend to buy their tickets as soon as possible, as ICMI tickets invariably sell out well before the events.
I recently recorded a promo video for the event with Paul Elam (co-MC) and Janice Fiamengo (keynote speaker), here (17:16). It’s also on Paul Elam’s “An Ear for Men” YouTube channel, with more comments, here.
