Long-term followers of this blog will be aware that Philip Davies MP became interested in men’s issues after being told that women were treated more harshly than men by the criminal justice system – an old feminist myth, of course. He instructed the House of Commons library to provide him with data on the issue, thereby learning that the truth was quite the opposite – men are treated FAR more harshly, particularly in sentencing terms. Anyone with any doubts on the issue would do well to read William Collins’s The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect (the ebook costs under £5.00).
Philip went on to make a name for himself in men’s rights circles by impressively defying Jess Phillips (at the time a recently-elected MP) and hosting the first debate in the House of Commons to commemorate International Men’s Day. The debates have continued to this day. Philip gave well-received speeches at a number of ICMIs from 2016 onwards.
During one of our meetings, Philip mentioned that he’d raised the issue of the anti-male bias of the criminal justice system with Michael Gove, at the time (2015-16) the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor. He told me Gove was not only aware of the bias but approved of it.
Now it is beyond doubt, of course, that Secretaries of State for Justice – the feminist ones, in particular – know of that anti-male bias, and approve of it. But I have yet to encounter anyone else who has personally witnessed an admission by a cabinet minister to that effect.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Gove was, of course, married to Sarah Vine, who said that “the EU Referendum put a huge strain on our marriage.” https://www.tatler.com/article/sarah-vine-interview-michael-gove-divorce
Vine has monetised that divorce for years, providing her with many column inches. She wrote a further article about it in last week’s Daily Mail.
If you’re getting the silent/chaste treatment from the wife because she disagrees with you about the EU, the last thing you’re going to do is say, “By the way, I think that men and women should have the same treatment under the law, don’t you Sarah?”

Thanks cp, but Sarah Vine is irrelevant to the issue at hand, I think.

Women have ways of getting what they want, especially in a domestic situation.
The real problems started when they began making incursions into business, commerce, media, politics and jurisprudence. Still using the tricks which they’d honed to perfection.

This is interesting The Gen Z gender pay gap has reversed – so what’s up with boys? | The Independent In the context of Philip Davies. Because as with the excellent Mr. Davies the key was getting some facts to him in a timely manner. I have no expectation that the two reports mentioned will result in any quick changes, the Gov. is after all Labour of the most student politics sort. And anyway the Civil Service is as “woke” as they come. However such reports do get some key nuggets of real data out. The huge success of feminists has been to concentrate their efforts on a few places and people who run things (basically the Oxbridge and “Russell Group” Universities that “feed” into political and civil service elites. For public consumption its all been a few now long outdated factoids (2 women a week killed, gender wage gap,) and lots of “feelings” with any actual data buried. Mr. Davies had the honesty to admit that he’d been taken in by the feminist assertions (with an absence of actual facts) until he’s asked for a briefing from Government data and thus discovered the opposite is true. I had been aware of this from the late 1970s where the generous treatment of women was labelled “benign sexism”. At University. My point being that for decades feminists had successfully buried the truth and replaced it with what they wanted. And so it is not surprising Mr. Davies had been ignorant of the facts, even though they’d been known for at least 40 years!
So whatever way it can be done getting some key truths out there, beyond the Academe, will make a difference if more well meaning men and women have that Philip Davies moment.
