BBC R4 Woman’s Hour – an excellent discussion on male victims of domestic violence (2013). File #23 of 800+ files on the J4MB YouTube channel.

Today’s file is here (7:21).

Over a period of more than two years we’ll be posting links to one video daily from the J4MB YouTube channel. The channel includes our media appearances since 2012, 300+ videos of talks and other materials from the International Conferences on Men’s Issues (2014 – ) and other men’s issues conferences we’ve been involved with, and so much more. The individual conference playlists are here.

Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. Mike Buchanan, Steve Moxon and Dr Catherine Hakim presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).

Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

America’s Cup to allow social media influencers on boats

Our thanks to Jeff for this (£, Telegraph). The start of the piece:

“Social media influencers could snap up new “guest” spots on America’s Cup boats in radical changes to drive up interest in sailing’s blue riband contest.

Changes will also include at least one woman guaranteed in crews, and a minimum of two crew members – including a female sailor – being born in the team’s nation.”

Long story short? Women are about to steer the America’s Cup onto the rocks. No sporting event was ever improved by the increased presence of women.

0628 473951 – what are the chances?

[Edit 14.8.25: This has caused some confusion. To clarify, I’m looking for the chance of ANY 10-digit sequence being selected first, using all the digits 0-9. The sequence can start with a zero, there’s a 10% chance that it will.]

35-40 years ago I lived with my then young family in the beautiful Thameside town of Marlow, Bucks. Happy days.

Our phone number was 0628 473951, which uses all the digits 0-9 once. I’ve often wondered since, what are the chances of such a thing happening? I invite you to suggest the likelihood of that being a 10-digit number, based on (a) no weighting in relation to the design of UK phone numbers, and (b) the first random selection from a vast and equal number of all the digits 0-9 e.g. 0.5 is a 50% likelihood. I hope and expect that a mathematician / physicist in the Cotswolds – a part of which is sealed off currently for JD Vance‘s visit – will provide the authoritative answer.

Sha’Carri Richardson, American sprinter, vows to seek help after airport arrest

Our thanks to Tony for this. The end of the Guardian piece below, can you recall ever having seen a similarly magnanimous response in the mainstream media from a female victim? Nor me.

“Richardson issued an apology to Coleman that read in part, “I apologize to Christian. He came into my life and gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I’ve experienced in my past. Due to my past trauma and pain, I was blind and blocked off to not only receive it but give it. [J4MB translation into plain English: I’m not accountable for my violence towards my partner.] I love him and to him I can’t apologize enough.“

As security footage of the incident became public, Coleman told the Athletic in a video interview: “She’s a human being, and a great person. She has a lot of things going on, a lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can’t understand, but nobody can. She’s one of one. And I’m one of one, too.

“I feel like it was just a sucky situation all around, I don’t feel as if she should have been arrested.” “

Richard the Fourth: “Britain Has Gone Insane.”

Our thanks to Andy for this (video, 3:42). He writes:

“Not just a crazy feminist initiative wasting public resources, but I suspect a deflection from migrant sex abuse to ‘white van man’.”
