    • It’s what we’d expect for an International Men’s Day debate! When that debate is announced by the Speaker of the House of Commons, 90%+ of the MPs rush out of the room as fast as their legs can carry them!!!

  1. 8 March 2024 – Happy International Men’s Day 2024 to men and women with penis everywhere.

    Every day is women’s day.

    So, 8 March 2024 has been repurposed as a second International Men’s Day.

    To celebrate the day, I will be giving a large donation to a male domestic violence charity.

    They hate it when you do things that benefit men. It takes their power and control away from them and there’s nothing they can do about it.

  2. “I am sorry for the Minister that, unfortunately, there are no Back-Bench Labour MPs here today. That is really disappointing. It just proves what they would do with working-class boys and boys as a whole if they did get into Government: not a lot. Unfortunately, we are where we are, but I thank everyone on this side”

    The end of the very welcome debate on the attainment gap in education (spoiler: the gap is very much in girls favour) The debate is a welcome but rare foray into the many “gaps” that affect males in our society. Educational Attainment of Boys – Hansard – UK Parliament

    The opening speeches are particularly good at giving the facts and much of the debate is good in terms of information and even policy solutions, including more male teachers. However as we know the reality falls far short of these solutions. I have copied the part of the closing remarks because it illustrates the distance still to be travelled for boys to be getting the opportunity of a good education, when the political party supposed to be representing the working class can so completely ignore working class boys.
