The BBC published this yesterday. So who did the BBC turn to for comment on this question? An extract:
“However, concerns remain over the idea of establishing a Minister for Men and Boys.
Penny East is chief executive of the Fawcett Society, a charity that campaigns for women’s rights and gender equality.
“There are serious societal issues affecting men and boys that need to be addressed,” East said.
“One of the biggest is online misogyny, how widespread and normalised it has become, and how manipulative men are monetising it.
“If we can solve some of those problems, it helps men and boys and, in turn, helps women and girls, because misogyny is one of the root causes of the problems facing women and girls.
“The government does need to look at this, but would having a minister be the answer? How would they operate?
“It can’t be tokenistic and it can’t be divisive, and we have to get over the idea that it’s ‘us and them’.” “

Typical response from a horrid, paranoid, misandrist and stupid female. Instead of addressing a real issue that affects men and boys she automatically dives into the tired, feminist prattle of false toxic masculinity! If she is so concerned about this issue why isn’t this silly bitch addressing the serious problem of immigration and the fact that sexual assault is being committed by Islamic and third-world immigrants?!! Disgusting!

I reflected on the vilification of Philip Davies MP when he started talking in Parliament about inequalities and men. Getting the first IMD Debate. It is progress that even the BBC devotes most of the article to what now are accepted instances where boys and men are clearly not thriving. Of course its a long way yet before any actual effort to do something happens. Longer still before anyone points out the misandrism that creates and perpetuates many of these issues. Its interesting that Penny East didn’t trot out the usual “Rape” and “Wife Beater” narratives that have always shut down any opposition to misandrism (dressed as “feminism”). Andrew Tate and “0n line misogyny” are weaker points indeed. Maybe the misandrist’s hold is weakening.
