Justice for Men & Boys 
I’ve just posted the following comment on the Substack:
“Interesting and enlightening. It’s funny how unconscious bias training that many UK companies are foisting on their workforce are heavily biased towards unconscious bias against women. Often no mention of it against men. The irony and hypocrisy of these human resource people is astounding.”

Way back in the 1990s I spent two days on anti-sexism training. One of the exercises was to see the number of times men or women were the subject of articles in newspapers. True enough men were the subject of 2 out of three articles. Not as requested I decided to categorise these. Of course I found that though men were more often the focus of “news” they also were generally bad, wrong or complained about. This was partly a function of their roles, if you’re in charge or managing or competing you are more likely to be blamed, complained about or be a loser. Even on the sports pages. While women are far more likely to have done something laudable, look attractive, or made an achievement or of course been a victim. Though at the time I knew nothing much about the theory it was a sort of wake up, to at least the ideas in Farrells Myth of Male power which I read later.

Justice officials accidentally release plans to spend tens of millions moving women criminals out of prison | Daily Mail Online
The clearest demonstration of the completely different way in which men and women are seen. Women to be treated generously and carefully on the assumption they are just misguided. And men ……. shove them in ever overcrowded and dysfunctional prisons that have given up on rehabilitation’

…then Mahmood wanted to castrate the males who are in gaol for sex offences (ignoring the data from Philip N S Rumney that false accusation rates are unlikely to be under 15%, and there will be some innocent men imprisoned)

Less clarity on how female offenders will be treated. Other than a presumptive ‘Get Out Of Jail Free’ card.

Prejudice against men pervades and saturates society, yet was recognised as a negative bias only relatively recently, in 2019.

Of course no one even considers that for decades men didn’t get their Pension, that they paid for through National Insurance until 5 years after their female contemporaries. Of course the current Gov. will pay off the WASPI women.

Why young women are dropping out of the workforce much faster than men And again the calls are for more support for women. Despite the fact that many of the “reasons” cited have nothing to do with the NEET cohort at all ( aged 16 to 24). Women typically have children in their late 20s early 30s these days long after the NEET age range. Caring for elderly relatives, for both sexes, is an issue from the mid 50s decades after the NEET cohort. Far more pertinent is the nebulous issue of “mental health”.
“women are more likely to suffer from mental health problems, according to a 2024 NHS survey; one study published earlier this year found that young women in England were the sickest and unhappiest in Europe.”
And there we have it “mental health” is about being unhappy. ““The reason I’m quitting is I just do not enjoy going to work any more. I’ve just had enough. I have no back-up plan. If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign – just quit your job. There’s more to life than working in a dead-end job and sacrificing your mental health,” she says.” So not enjoying your job is a mental health issue. Rather than reality, few of us get to be paid for work that is wholly enjoyable, after all there would be no need to pay people if work was simply enjoyment. Think of all those “glass cellar” jobs men do.
What also struck me is the difference between this concern to help and support young women who are NEET and the recent debate about young men NEET. They are a “problem” and are generally seen as lazy needing a boot up their backside. Often siting the shortages in manual and trades occupations and the “glass cellar” jobs as what these young men should do!
What the article doesn’t point out the very fact that the young women can live with their parents, or rely on their partner, without the sort of moral indignation engendered by young men who aren’t independent; actually facilitates them ditching work they don’t “enjoy” without a back-up plan!
And of course a sense of entitlement “The money just wasn’t enough for me to send my child to childcare. I’m really well-educated, I have a good degree, but the support for people getting into work that they’re trained for just isn’t there.” As if someone can magic up just for her the job she believes she’s entitled to.
