Our thanks to Nigel for this (video, 19:24). He writes:
“In a way the content isn’t new but I think it is significant that it’s a young man’s analysis. I think Grace is in fact describing his own journey to realise the fraud of feminism. The journey of someone young enough to have only known the ascendency of feminism and therefore been steeped in the ideology of equality. In doing so I believe he is reflecting the experience of young men today and this gives us oldies a better perspective of how to approach younger men.
Being a tail end “boomer” I can recall a world before feminism’s triumph and a period where it was “contested”. It is perhaps hard to get into the heads of young men who have never known anything different and who are indoctrinated almost from infancy. Yet as Grace points out there is panic about young men “tuning out” etc. Which suggests that his process is increasingly widely reflected in other younger men.
I grew up in a world with mining, steelworks, heavy engineering, even an inland port. One with divorce a rarity and daily life as yet without all the gadgets of today. When I think of it a world so unlike the modern UK that it’s as if it was a foreign country. So trying to get messages to the young that fit with their experiences is hard without understanding how they see and experience the world. A short video but with thoughtful content.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
Nice example of the subtle use of the chivalrous impulse. Police make arrest after ‘attempted kidnap’ of 18-year-old girl who was ‘followed by man off bus’ | Daily Mail Online The headline calls the woman a “girl”, others say “teenager” both to get sympathy and hook into protection mode. Of course the quoted police report says “18 year old woman” given that is the reality. Still a worrying crime but just not as big a “hook”. Think how often a 17 or 18 year old male is called a “man” or “young man” when the report is anxious to label them a perpetrator. Years and years ago I went on the inevitable “equality training” as there was and is plenty you have to go on. This sensitised me to the way men and women are referred to in the media, though not in the way the course intended. Rather like Dr Warren Farrell turning his feminist education in NOW and applying it to men, if one reverses the sexes in a media story or looks at how men are referred to, one does soon see distinct patterns. The only leap is to leave behind only looking at females to look for patterns. The stereotypes applied to males are as distinct but very much less flattering. Its why I’m relatively sanguine about ridiculous “equality education” in schools , because I reckon a good proportion will notice the inequality visited upon males. A small example is the recent annual occurrence, in some secondary school or other, of boys donning school uniform skirts and demanding “equality” in hot weather. Seems trivial but it is applying “equality and choice” (supposed pillars of feminism) and finding they have neither. They’ll soon see it so much more than getting overheated as they grow older. Feminism’s success has partly been that they simply talk about women as if there isn’t anything to say at all about men except in relationship to their help or hinderance to women. As Farrell finds in “The Myth of Male Power” actually including the male in the analysis (rather than a mythical bogeyman) using the “feminist tools” you see something very different.
