Budapest conference.
[Update 14.4 – as already advised, we shall be publicly announcing before 26 April at the latest, whether or not the conference will proceed as planned.]
We’re greatly looking forward to the Budapest conference (10,11 August). The events are the annual showcases for the global men’s rights movement, and very important for the morale of the people active within it, as well as countless men and women with an interest in the human rights of men and boys. We have a great speaker line-up, and Janice Fiamengo will be the keynote speaker. Paul Elam and I will be the co-MCs.
As we explained some time ago, here, it’s essential that we’re confident of a sufficient number of attendees to make the event financially viable, in a timely fashion. This means selling enough tickets (£260.00) by the close of play on 12 April, just seven days away. You can order your ticket(s) here.
We recently published a video including my discussion with Paul Elam and Janice Fiamengo, it’s on Paul’s YouTube channel, here (video, 17:01).
We look forward to meeting you in Budapest, for another great event, 10 years after the first, organised by Paul Elam and held near Detroit, on behalf of A Voice for Men.

IOWA: Governor Kim Reynolds signs bill banning discriminatory gender requirements for appointed bodies
Interesting. A rare move in the right direction. A tip of the hat to Kim Reynolds, the female governor (shouldn’t that be a “governess”?) of Iowa. According to her Wikipedia profile, she’s a staunch supporter of Donald Trump and “has a close relationship with the Iowa pork industry”.

Nikoloz Papashvili, male teaching assistant who became subject of staffroom banter when female headteacher said he looked ‘fit’ in Speedos, wins more than £9,000 in sex harassment case
Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“One interesting thing about this is that the male teaching assistant’s behaviour is described with regard to a holiday so as to lessen our sympathies, needless to say if the sexes had been reversed a female’s other bahaviour would not be so described. However that being said the young man won his case and as the judge said:
‘Similar comments made by a senior man, particularly if older, are generally regarded as unacceptable if directed towards a junior or younger female and perhaps, belatedly, such comments made by a female Head Teacher towards a younger Teaching Assistant should now similarly be regarded as unacceptable.’
Now of course in reality none of this really warranted the fuss made, however seeing as feminists have made it so such trivia is regarded as “sexual harassment” men should be encouraged to make use of the law. Their major handicap in this regard is the assumption that such things exist solely to help women. Entirely understandable given the huge public investment in Charities, NGOs and publicity campaigns directed only at women. Frankly I believe it is only when men start to use the legislation in the same way as women that we’ll get a retraction of such laws and the beginings of a return to common sense. After all it was the suggestion of following feminist ideas and making parenting an equal responsibility that made a feminist “volte face” and a doubling down on the idea of “tender years” and “mother’s unique contribution” as they realised the real trump card in divorce etc. is having the children as if the mother’s possessions. And of course the very ideas of feminist “icon” Judith Butler (apostle of gender identities) are turned into a “patriarchal plot” when it’s clear women’s privileges in society might be accessed by even a few confused men.
Men have little to lose and a great deal to gain by simply demanding equal rights and responsibilities with women, and in doing so will find many women considerably less keen on equality than they thought.”
