Our thanks to Tom for this (video, 10:09). The Triggernometry duo are clueless with respect to gender issues. Their interview of Julie Bindel was nothing short of embarrassing.

Justice for Men & Boys 
I lost count how many times Andrew Wilson stumped those two. Was it five or six ? Constantin couldn’t even name a single male privilege, whether socially or within the legal framework. The best he could come up with was women dying in childbirth. Talk about clutching at straws. And naming three women who care about men’s rights. He couldn’t name one, not even Pearl Davis. I don’t suppose he even knows who she is.

It really did show up the issue. That the “narrative” is so deep rooted even sharp people don’t see it. Feminism’s huge success is not in spite of “the patriarchy” but because of it. For it is men who have listened intently to the whining and then taken action. As the feminists point out even now men are the majority of the decision makers, and in the recent past were overwhelmingly so. Yet it was in this “patriarchy” that all the “advances” by feminists were made! One needn’t look at “the draft” to see definite legal or institutional privileging. When my first son was born I took 2 weeks leave to be there and help. There was no statutory or company paternity leave. By the time of my third child there was statutory 2 weeks which I applied for and was told by HR (in a Council) “we don’t like to broadcast this option”. Of course my wife had maternity leave. Which then as now she couldn’t share or transfer to me. Well that’s life but then men are berated for not being as “involved” when in fact they literally expected by the social institutions not to be. Add in the the “tender years” policy and the operation of family courts etc. And its not really a matter of “Choice”. Suggest transferrable parental leave so men and women can choose, an equal right to parental responsibility, and equal right to see their offspring and this is somehow not “equal” yet in fact it all enshrines a different less important role to men! The Criminal Justice System has a completely different policy on justice based on sex. All the factors cited in the reasons women should almost never go to prison apply to the male prison population: Care leavers, addiction, childhood trauma, experiencing violence, illiteracy, family breakdown, addictions, poverty being a parent and so on. Yet there is no policy to treat the males in the same therapeutic way, just a plan to imprison more. And again being a mother gives you a get out of gaol free card, but being a father is an additional reason to imprison you ! Another example of that mother father dichotomy. Of course there’s the VAWG policies where male victims are recorded as female! Education where well researched direct discrimination by teachers in assessments and marking of boys remains unaddressed by the institutions managing our schools and teacher training.
Personally I do think the way to highlight these things is in fact to campaign and highlight for equality. Not because I think the result will be good (or even happen) but because like in this video it exposes more clearly the one sided nature of things. Particularly those things that are actually in Law or Public Policy, because they’re written down and easy to evidence. Maybe many more men would be “involved dads” but the truth is its practically impossible for those families reliant on ordinary wages/salaries and unable to take time out or reduce hours. An ordinary couple’s choices are constrained by finance and statutory policy which is built on women’s role as primary carers. Enshrined in law, public policy, the courts, welfare and children’s act now. The truly radical position would be to treat the mother and father as equal! Clearly in education every child should have the chance to reach their potential. If the institutions are deliberately not doing that, explicitly to handicap boys in their ;later life then they are not treating children equally. Like Constantin Kissin too often the equality argument is muddied by that very oldest thing the respect for the woman that bore you. Of course Constantin thinks the mother of his children is special, of course he wants to think her too nice to be a warrior, of course he wants to protect her. And of course until challenged on simple equality he falls back on emotion ……. just as feminists know “rapist” or “wife beater” will get every man in sight to be on their side. Andre Wilson did so well to keep returning to the issue, maybe your mum shouldn’t charge pork chop hill or your wife defuse bombs, but you want “choice” for women and compulsion for men. Though its a different thing it is fascinating that there is such concern at the number of young men who are NEET. Now to my knowledge the number of young women NEET has been pretty much the same since NEET became a thing under Labour. Young women’s rose following the pandemic but from a very much higher constant. Handing out benefits it seems not so much a problem. But then young men achieved “equality” and then a few more than equality. And suddenly its a disaster ! All this productive capacity going to waste, get those lazy gaming young men off their couches. Because in truth we’d always assumed that the boys would get on with working while we looked after the girls. Suddenly faced with the lads supposedly downing tools ….. well its an emergency! Yet I note few mention the personal individual disaster of being on the welfare for those young men. Its all about their collective impact as “men”. Roughly equal numbers of male and female NEETs, not the sort of equality we want. Get those boys off benefits and into glass cellar jobs.
From my perspective, an old fashioned liberal, the “right” is as likely to be gynocentric as the “left”, frankly more so, often. Oh and its sort of touching that the Triggernometry lads believe in the all things nice version of the fairer sex.
