Interesting. I shall never again hire a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s branch at 25 Caxton Road, Bedford MK41 0LF. You do what you can…

Hilarious, one for our associated website Laughing at Feminists. Bindel concludes with this:
“Free speech exists, but only for certain people holding ‘acceptable’ ideas. Feminists speaking out against male violence, [J4MB emphasis: Female violence is okey-dokey, even when inflicted on females, apparently] gender ideology and the harms of pornography are routinely silenced. What underpins the censoring of women like me is nothing short of misogyny.”
This ‘censored’ woman who claims to be the victim of misogyny regularly has articles published in the Mail, Spectator, Unherd and many other mainstream media outlets, as do countless other feminists – outlets which never print articles by anti-feminists.

A fascinating piece on Unherd. Extracts:
“This mercurial loner, who once sang in a Rolling Stones covers band, is engaged in a high-risk gamble: to shake his country out of its decades-long stupor by slashing subsidies, sacking public servants, scrapping taxes, shutting ministries, ripping up regulations and privatising scores of state enterprises from airlines and banks through to football clubs and waterways. He has rattled his many foes, who often write him off as a political joke or a poisonous far-Right populist. But as he comes up to the first anniversary of his ascent to power, Milei can point to significant successes in curbing the curse of inflation and shrinking the state…”
This wildly-eccentric yet fiercely-ideological politician knows how to attract attention. During his election campaign, Milei’s interview with Tucker Carlson received 300m views in 24 hours. Musk was among those sharing it on social media, saying it showed how “government overspending, which is the fundamental cause of inflation, has wrecked countless countries”. After his victory, Milei flew to Davos where he argued that the West was in danger from dark forces such as feminism, [J4MB emphasis – spot on!!!] socialism and environmentalism putting its values in jeopardy from a vision “that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty”. Last month, the 54-year-old firebrand became the first foreign leader to visit Trump after his presidential victory — his attacks on the state, its political sinecures and power hubs have made him a hero among many US conservatives and members of the MAGA crowd…
Others rail against his weaponising of the culture wars and his direct appeal to angry young men frustrated by feminism. One of Milei’s first edicts was to end use of gender-neutral language in government and many of his young and liberal supporters loathe his anti-abortion stance and ambivalence over their nation’s military past.”

Our thanks to Ronald H for this. While the announcement is welcome, a review of the document leads me to expect little, if anything, from the development – other than, possibly, some men’s votes for Labour in future elections. An extract:
“Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting has announced plans for a men’s health strategy at a Men’s Health Summit held in partnership with Movember, hosted by Arsenal and the Premier League.”
Movember bills itself as “the leading charity changing the face of men’s health”. The website’s Leadership and Governance page is here. It states, “Movember is governed by a Board of Directors, who delegate part of their work to specialised committees to ensure that the organisation holds itself to the highest standards.” It is the strangest composition of a Board of Directors I’ve ever seen. The “chair” is a man, the remaining seven members are non-executive directors, four of them women.
On the same page you can find the Global Leadership Team, with 16 members, eight of them women, covering the following positions:
An extract from the government press release, from Michelle Terry, CEO of Movember:
“When we improve men’s health, we know that the benefits can ripple through families, communities, societies and the economy. This will transform the lives of men, but also their wives, mothers, sisters, partners, [J4MB emphasis] mates, neighbours, children, teachers and doctors.
Why might the government wish to associate itself with Movember? Possibly because the organisation is completely uncritical of the actions and inactions of governments, including that of the UK, and because it drives narratives that excuse governments from taking action e.g. to prevent male suicide, which only results from “mental ill health” in the sense that men commit suicide when in a state of reactive depression brought on by life events, many of which are the result of government actions and inactions – examples including the denial of access to children after family breakdowns, and street homelessness.
Movember’s page on “Mental Health and Suicide Prevention” is here. It starts with this feminist critique of male suicide:
“The results of poor mental health can be deadly. Globally, a man dies every minute from suicide. Men, regardless of age group, often don’t recognise when they’re experiencing a mental health issue, and may not be comfortable asking for help. The uncomfortable truth is that some stereotypical forms of masculinity are killing men.”
Onto the government press release itself. Statements from Wes Streeting:
“It can be hard to be a young man in today’s society, particularly for boys from backgrounds like mine.”
A denial that life can be “hard” for men of all ages and classes.
“We’re seeing mental ill health on the rise, and the shocking fact that suicide is the biggest killer for men under the age of 50. Preventable killers like heart disease and prostate cancer are being caught far too late.”
The “shocking fact that suicide is the biggest killer for men under the age of 50” has long been the case, and not a recent development of mental ill health being on the rise. No admission that prostate cancer – the cancer causing the deaths of more men than any other, a higher number than deaths of women from breast cancer – is “caught far too late” in large part due to the absence of a national screening programme for it (unlike breast cancer and cervical cancer). No recognition of the need for such a programme, nor any plans to introduce one.
“Just as we are determined to end the injustices women face in healthcare, we won’t shy away from the need to focus on men’s health too.”
Men face far more injustices than women in relation to healthcare, see for example pp.73-5 of our final election manifesto.

A woeful piece just published by Financial News, actual title, Female CEOs being replaced by men: a sign the City still has work to do on gender equality. Of course it was written by a woman – Clare Dickinson – this extract should suffice to demonstrate her idiocy:
“Of course, companies are going to choose the best person for the job and in some cases that may be the experienced male candidate. [J4MB emphasis : In almost all cases it WILL be.] But if women are supported and given the skills needed to become CEOs then they are more likely to emerge as the frontrunners when there is a vacancy to fill. [J4MB emphasis: So women need to be “supported” and “given the skills needed to become CEOs”. Could we ask for a clearer admission that “women” – with rare exceptions – aren’t “the best person for the job”?] “
