[Note added 29.11.16: We haven’t been regularly presenting ‘Feminist of the Month’ awards since April 2016, because people now fully understand that feminists are whiny, gormless, toxic liars. We shall in future present awards on an ad-hoc basis.]

Lying is a key tactic employed by feminists. Even when exposed publicly as liars – by ourselves, and others – feminists never retract their lies, let alone apologise for having made them.

These awards were originally titled, ‘Lying Women of the Month’. Following the realisation that the lying women were invariably feminists, from July 2014 onwards we’ve presented ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ awards. The awards in reverse chronological order:

January 2017: Harriet Harman MP

November 2016: Paula Sherriff MP

March 2016: Marianne Hester Professor of Gender, Violence & International Policy, Bristol University

February 2016: Sophie Walker Leader, Women’s Equality Party. She also won this award in November 2015

January 2016: Elaine Snaith Chief Executive, office of Vera Baird QC (Police & Crime Commissioner, Northumbria, January 2016 Toxic Feminist of the Month)

December 2015: Jane Humphries Professor of Economic History, University of Oxford

November 2015: Sophie Walker Leader, Women’s Equality Party

October 2015: Samantha Beckett Director General, Economics & Markets (Department for Business, Innovation and Skills)

September 2015: Anne Longfield Children’s Commissioner for England

August 2015: Ann Francke CEO of the Chartered Management Institute.

July 2015: Sandi Toksvig Lesbian ‘comedienne’, Women’s Equality Party spokeswoman. She also won this award in May 2015.

June 2015: Emma Ritch Executive Director, Engender (a Scottish radical feminist campaigning organisation, 88.6% funded by Scottish taxpayers – mostly men).

May 2015: Sandi Toksvig Lesbian ‘comedienne’, Women’s Equality Party spokeswoman.

April 2015: Melanie Jeffs Manager, Nottingham Women’s Centre.

March 2015: Gloria de Piero MP Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. She also won this award in July 2014.

February 2015: Kate Smurthwaite Feminist ‘comedienne’.

January 2015: Caroline Criado-Perez Whine merchant who’s won this award three times in the past eight months.

December 2014: Roweena Russell North East Feminist Gathering.

November 2014: Laura Bates Whine merchant. She also won this award in September 2014.

October 2014: Caroline Criado-Perez Whine merchant, the genius behind the ‘women on banknotes’ campaign. She also won this award in May 2014.

September 2014: Laura Bates Whine merchant.

A week after we presented Ms Bates – ‘Special Snowflake’ – with this award, and emailed her to notify her of the matter, she was on a televised debate being broadcast live by the BBC. She repeated the lie (that over two women a week in the UK are killed by partners or ex-partners) and when reminded of our challenge by an audience member, Owen Davies, a student, she repeated it again – here. The proof that her claim is a lie is here.

August 2014: Roz Hardie CEO of OBJECT, a feminist campaign organisation.

July 2014: Gloria De Piero MP Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities.

June 2014: Franki Hackett Women’s Aid spokeswoman. She won the award for making at least seven demonstrably false claims and/or misleading statements during an online discussion with Glen Poole. We publicly challenged Polly Neate (CEO, Women’s Aid) to retract the claims, and she contemptuously declined to do so. A link to the recording, our public challenge, and Ms Neate’s response to it, is here.

May 2014: Caroline Criado-Perez. Whine merchant.

April 2014: Teresa Hughes.

March 2014: Kat Banyard Whine merchant. Her award certificate has a link to the Channel 4 News interview for which she won the award.

The Anti-Feminism League is run by the people who run J4MB and Campaign for Merit in Business. The website was launched in early 2012 to raise public consciousness about radical feminism, a female supremacy movement driven by misandry (the hatred of men). Radical feminism is a scourge across the developed world, and increasingly in the developing world too. The British state has for many years operated along lines favoured by radical feminists, as our 2015 general election manifesto demonstrated.

The Anti-Feminism League website hasn’t published any new posts for some time because all new posts are published on this website, and if they relate to Campaign for Merit in Business, on that website too.

The final test of truth is ridicule. Very few dogmas have ever faced it and survived.

Many years ago we started a comedy channel, but some time ago ceased adding new videos to it. We recommend you check out the comedy channel on our Laughing at Feminists website, which contains all the same material but is being updated with new material.

We invite you to email us (info@j4mb.org.uk) with your personal favourite video and audio files, so we can consider adding them.

We’re sometimes asked if we’ve ever had any substantive responses to the many public challenges we’ve issued to feminists and Toadies, men in senior positions who accede to feminist demands, however ridiculous, and whatever the consequences. No, we haven’t. These people are utterly shameless in their pursuit of feminist agendas and/or specifically anti-male agendas e.g. non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors (Male Genital Mutilation, MGM). We’ve presented many of them with ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ or ‘Toady’ awards. A link to all the winners of the former awards is here.

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Caulfield as Technical Director of J4MB. Tom has long been a key contributor to our work, and the work of other people interested in men’s issues. An expert in both photography and video recording, he’s long used the pseudonym “Anthony J Corniche III” for his video recording and editing, and has used the term “Good Men Gone Productions” for some of his work.

Tom works tirelessly for the men’s rights movement, he’s a pleasure to work with, he’s a force of nature, and to cap it all he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Paul Elam once said, “Tom is so talented, he makes me sick!” He’s also very generous, donating high-quality audio and video equipment to British MRAs over many years.

Tom was responsible for the filming and editing of the presentations at three of the five International Conferences on Men’s Issues (ICMIs) to date, and the playlists are here – ICMI16 (London), ICMI17 (Gold Coast, Australia), ICMI18 (London). He was also responsible for the filming of the presentations at ICMI19 in Chicago, others were responsible for the editing of the video files. 25 of the presentations are here.

In Chicago I had the pleasure of surprising Tom in the closing ceremony with the inaugural Quentin Tarantino Award for Directing Excellence.

His promotional videos for ICMI20 are here. If you enjoy humour, don’t miss #15, and be ready to freeze the video to catch the text at a number of points.

In January 2020 he was (audio) interviewed for the YouTube channel The Glass Blind Spot. Enjoy (45:05).

Tom’s photography website is here. Click on “Portfolio” on the upper left-hand corner of the screen on his website to see more of Tom’s work.

We look forward to working with Tom for many years to come.

After writing Profitable Buying Strategies, an international bestseller published by Kogan Page in 2018, Mike Buchanan launched LPS publishing. Since then he’s published 14 books – nine of his own (his Amazon page here), one apiece from William Collins, Herbert Purdy and Swayne O’Pie, and two by Terrence Popp (Redonkulas). He invites you to contact him (mike@j4mb.org.uk, 07967 026163) with respect to the publication of your book(s) in paperback, hardback, or ebook editions.

About four weeks ago I was commissioned by International Business Times, a leading international online news service, to provide some balance in their output of pieces about gender-related matters. I would be free to write on any matters I wished, in a fortnightly column.

The website already had two British feminist commentators on gender-related matters including Laura Bates of The Everyday Sexism Project, twice a winner of our ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ awards. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time that a men’s rights advocate anywhere in the world had been given a regular platform by a mainstream media outlet.

I was commissioned to write pieces on men’s issues, with an open-ended contract, and I was looking forward to providing pieces for years to come. I decided to start with uncontroversial pieces.

The first was on gender balance in corporate boardrooms. Nobody in the world is challenging the evidence presented by Campaign for Merit in Business, demonstrating a causal link between artificially driving up female representation on boards, and corporate financial decline. I presented the evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, yet the government continues to bully major companies into taking on more female directors, with the threat of legislated gender quotas.

The second piece was on suicide, the leading cause of death of men under 50 in the UK. The male:female suicide differential more than doubled from 1.7:1 in 1983 to 3.5:1 in 2013. The government is not only doing nothing about the matter, it is actively driving the high male suicide rate, as the article explains.

A day or two after the second article was published, I received the following email from my Commissioning Editor, and it’s reproduced here with his kind permission:

Hi Mike, I hope all’s good with you.

We’ve had a chat as a senior editorial group and unfortunately we think it’s best to terminate the relationship we have with you.

Your articles for us have been balanced and backed by evidence, which is fine. But we realise you have courted controversy for other articles you have written, and we feel this isn’t the best image for the IBT brand going forward.

Please understand that we will continue to seek balance in our coverage of gender issues, and we will keep a close eye on the progress of J4MB. We may well be interested in doing an interview with you in the lead-up to May’s election.

You will, of course, be paid in full for what you have written for us.

I hope you understand our position on this, and, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to raise them with me. Good luck for the election.

A few days after receiving this email, I learned that International Business Times had introduced ‘balance’ against their two (female) feminist commentators by recruiting Ally Fogg, a (male) feminist Guardian columnist.

Campaign for Merit in Business – C4MB – is run by the people who run J4MB, and is led by Mike Buchanan. Established in early 2012, it’s engaged with parliamentary inquiries, and the video of Mike giving evidence to a House of Commons inquiry – ‘Women in the Workplace’ – is here. C4MB has had exposure on national television and radio programmes, and Mike was interviewed on Daily Politics – video here. C4MB has been successful in halting the formerly popular narrative – employed by politicians in particular, including David Cameron and Vince Cable – which maintained that companies would become more profitable if they increased the proportion of women on their boards.

There’s considerable evidence – from longitudinal studies – which shows that when female representation on corporate boards is increased – for example through gender quotas, or the threat of them – corporate financial performance declines. This may be primarily an inexperience effect, rather than a gender effect. C4MB’s short briefing paper on the matter has the full Abstracts of five longitudinal studies, and links to them.

The government continues to threaten legislated gender quotas if FTSE100 companies haven’t ‘voluntarily’ achieved 25% female representation on their boards by 2015. The FTSE100 is on track to reach the target, almost invariably through appointing poorly-qualified women as non-executive directors, the tactic which did so much damage to Norwegian companies. It’s known from public statements by politicians that the 25% target is ‘only a major milestone on a longer journey’ and smaller companies will in time be required to appoint more female directors. In the spring of 2014 it was revealed that the FTSE350 is next in the ‘firing line’, and that the longer-term goal is gender-balanced boards, regardless of the shortage of suitably qualified women.

C4MB believes merit should be the sole basis for recruitment and promotion in the workplace, in stark contrast  to initiatives which seek ‘improved’ gender diversity in senior executive positions, including in boardrooms, regardless of individual women’s merit compared with their male peers, and regardless of impact on corporate financial performance. Those initiatives are an assault on meritocracy, they’re inspired and sustained by radical feminism – which has its roots in Marxism – yet they’re driven and largely financed by a Conservative government.

A Voice for Men is an American website, the most-visited and influential men’s rights advocacy website in the world. In February 2013 AVfM exclusively revealed the name of our new political party when they published an article – Let’s get political – in which we revealed some of our thinking behind launching a political party.

AVfM have published over 60 of Mike Buchanan’s articles, and a few of his media appearances, and they’re accessible here.

AVfM relentlessly and fearlessly relates the truth about assaults on men’s and boys’ human rights around the world, and ruthlessly exposes the lies told by feminists. We strongly recommend that you subscribe to the site (no charge).

If you read every article published by AVfM in the course of a month, and read the associated comments streams, you’ll understand better than 99% of people how the human rights of men and/or boys are assaulted in many areas, usually to advantage women and/or girls, and usually at the behest of feminists. 20 such areas were explored in our 2015 general election manifesto.
