Since 1919, the person holding the title of Viscount Rothermere has served as chairman of Daily Mail and General Trust plc. As of 2022 the titles are held by the first Viscount’s great-grandson, the fourth Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1998.
The open letter of the title was written by Julian Mann and posted on TCW today. I was particularly pleased to read this (it takes up the remainder of this blog post):
“It is certainly true that providing stable homes for children involves much mundane hard work for parents and self-sacrifice. Married men make sacrifices for their families as well as women. As Berlinda Brown put well it in an article for The Conservative Woman in 2022, ‘In Praise of Marriage’:
‘Marriage is a demanding relationship. It is not just about loving and cherishing another. This is perhaps the easier part. It involves risking one’s life and wellbeing because one has to trust that one’s spouse will love and cherish in return. Risk and trust are essential to the marriage contract and may explain why marriage produces high rewards.’ “

Justice for Men & Boys 
Yes I cannot imagine an approving piece being published that praised a husband and father for deciding that his domestic life is boring and he “needs” to branch out with a younger more exciting sexual partner to re kindle the “spark”, or to abandon his family to go and “find himself” in some Indian or Thai commune. Or even just junk his career or job and tend deer in Scotland requiring his wife an children to considerably “tighten their belts” as a result of the loss of income. In each case he would be cast as some selfish monster for inflicting this on his “family”. That simple experiment of reversing the sexes reveals so much.
Of course the key in la Bindel’s piece is “Statistics specifically on women swearing off men later in life are hard to come by – but anecdotally they are everywhere. Take the woman I met, who attended a week-long Open University summer school on the history of feminism.” Women attending an Open University summer school on the history of feminism are a teensy part of the population of women. Lets be honest Mz Bindel and her Barrister Partner are remarkably unlikely ever to meet ordinary folk except when the bloke comes to fix the boiler or make the Waitrose Delivery or the cleaner collects her weekly wage. Most of the time it will be posh sapphists who somehow get paid as “writers”. So much of this is the usual wishful thinking of tiny minorities that somehow their particular quirks are not aberrant behaviours on the fringes of human behaviour.
