Over a period of almost six months we’re posting links to one video daily from the comedy channel of our associated award-winning website, Laughing at Feminists. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.  

You might also be interested in the 700+ videos on our YouTube channel, which includes our media appearances since 2012, 300+ videos of talks and other materials from the International Conferences on Men’s Issues (2014 – ), from the other men’s issues conferences we’ve been involved with, and so much more.

Met Police coaches ethnic minority staff (including women) on how to secure promotions

Our thanks to Nigel for this (Telegraph, £). He writes:

“Though this highlights ethnicity and race it includes women as “minority”. The most telling thing is that the women (and males from favoured groups) are invited specifically to the extra help and told not to reveal this to their colleagues. [J4MB emphasis] Which suggests the Met’s top brass realise how bad this will look to the majority of their force (oops sorry “service” we can’t have it being forceful can we?) . Looks like a pretty good way to undermine morale to me.”

GB News covered the issue yesterday, here. It includes a video (4:50) of their presenter Nana Akua, talking about the issue. The text on the link starts with this:

“Urgh.. here we go again.

Previously we had West Yorkshire Police being accused of having a “racist” recruitment policy for putting a temporary block on the hiring of white candidates.

Now we have the Metropolitan Police offering bespoke workshops to ethnic minority and female candidates to help them gain promotions.

Why? A former officer who served in the Met for three decades told The Telegraph: “Ethnic and female officers are individually selected and given additional workshops, coaching and access to professional coaches to make sure they are better prepared for the final promotion exam.

“White males are excluded from these workshops simply because of their biological sex and colour of their skin.” [J4MB emphasis]

Apparently eligible ethnic minorities candidates are sent an email that reads: “You have been selected to attend this workshop as the Met has a series of People Priorities, which underpin the organisation’s overall strategy, one of which is to improve black and minority ethnic and female representation at all police officer ranks.

“As part of the approach to achieving this, frameworks for focused support are provided for both BME and female candidates to nurture and develop their talents, including provisions to support preparation for assessment – this workshop is one such provision.

“Therefore we ask that you do not share this email with your colleagues as all eligible candidates have been invited individually.” [J4MB emphasis]

Yes – of course they don’t want you to share this, they know it’s wrong. The fact that you think that because I’m black, I will need bespoke coaching to get a promotion tells me that either you don’t think black people are good enough because of the colour of their skin or it’s an admission that those controlling the hiring are racist.”

An open letter to Lord Rothermere about Julie Bindel’s recent article in the Daily Mail, ‘I know the real reason so many women are giving up on men to be LESBIANS’.

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.’ “
