Cometh the hour, cometh the woman. On IWD 2019 what better than to celebrate a woman who has done so much to push back against the oncoming anti-male feminist tsunami. I wish I were half so brave. Frequently Belinda has been a lone voice battling the sea of progressive-clones, such as on the BBC’s The Big Questions, or debating feminists at the Hay Festival, or at Bath University, or pushing back against the unfair privileging of women, for example in STEM academia, or exposing those who were against setting up a male section in the British Psychological Society. Belinda has published frequently in the mainstream media, generally with a harsh critique of feminism. Her most hard-hitting deconstructions of feminism, though, can be found on The Conservative Woman site, such as A young person’s guide to the failure of feminism and many pieces correcting feminist myths and on the internal contradictions of feminism. In particular, she has written numerous articles on the suffragette mythology, attempting to realign popular perception with historical reality, including a rather brave talk in the House of Commons last year. Belinda has written on the pay gap nonsense, and on facing up to, and celebrating, the difference between the sexes.

But being a critic of feminism does not automatically mean any particular compassion towards men. In Belinda’s case, however, it does, in both writings and talks. In a more academic mode she has exploded the misandric take on hegemonic masculinity in favour of an ethnographic description. But it is the issue of families and the feminist state’s destruction of the family which is her major focus, and the associated decline in fertility in the West. Perhaps one of her best, and most recent, papers describes how feminism set out to destroy the family and has largely succeeded.

Also, I have known her described as smoking hot. Obviously, I’m far too cerebral to have noticed, honest.

Dear DeAnna,

I like you. You are polite. You are intelligent. You are sexy. That’s right, I said sexy. And I show my respect to you on Woman’s Day because you let me do that. Not just me, but men in general. You are encouraging men to be men and to show their affection for women. You are working hard on making the relationship between men and women great again. That’s why I love you. You are great. Recently, you have organized a tribute to men. All men. To the good men have always been doing and are still doing. I salute you for being a great woman. Not just on Women’s Day. But every day of the year.

Oliver P Hoffmann

The two women to whom I owe the most gratitude and for whom I have the most admiration are both very different, but they do have one important thing in common, they are both mothers. In my old fashioned world, being a mother is the highest form of the expression of womanhood, something which sadly nowadays fewer women get to experience.

To my wife, gorgeous and kind. Thank you for bearing our children and for the utter devotion you showed to them when they were small and helpless. The memories of you giving birth to them will stay with me forever and are amongst my happiest. I will always be in awe of the way you pushed our babies out of your body – I have never seen anybody so focused, determined and totally ‘in the zone’. You did not cry and you did not make a fuss, you were truly amazing. Thank you to the midwives who took care of you and our babies, they impressed me with how they carried out their important task. They even took the time to make sure that I was doing alright too.

My sweet wife, you are older now and our babies are nearly fully grown men, but I still fancy you as much as when we first met on that night when our planets were in alignment. You are a good woman, but you will never be ‘red-pilled’ in the way that I am. You are definitely ‘pink-pilled’ in your own way though; a way which 95% of other women are not and cannot be. For this I am grateful, because when we talk about men’s and women’s issues, you more or less understand what I mean. That is about as far as I think you will ever go with these issues, which are so important to me but less so to you.

To my mother, also present at one of the births of my children, I want to thank you too. You had the hardest of childhoods, but it did not make you a hardened person. You have always given me your love in abundance, even when I haven’t deserved it. You are very old now mum, but still going strong. I can still remember you taking me to your work when I was little and you setting me up to play, whilst you cleaned the houses of women who were richer than you. Mum, when you talk about your past, you occasionally tell me about the people who have upset you, even though the upset might have been from 30 or 40 years ago. You are a sensitive soul. It interests me how the people you still feel wronged by were all women, and that you only have good things to say about the men you knew and worked with.

Mum, your utter devotion to my father, your husband, now long dead, never ceases to inspire me. Your admiration for the the man whom you married and your refusal to find another man after he died, shows the unbreakable strength of your love. You did this because you knew that no other man would have been good enough, compared to the man you married.

Even though we are celebrating Women’s Day, I feel I must mention my long dead father. Why? Because the care and patience he showed for my mother was immense. He protected her and cared for her, and helped my mother navigate the world in ways which she could never have done on her own. When you died dad, your only concern was that somebody would look after mum. You asked me to take care of mum, and I promised you that I would. I have not broken my promise for all these years, just as other men have taken care of the women they love, since the beginning of human history.

Caring for my women, my wife and my mother, is a burden I gladly bear. The idea that men hate women is a terrible lie; men love women and we are deeply programmed to provide for them and to keep them alive. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar with a twisted agenda; we all know who these people are.

So thank you dear wife and thank you dearest mum. Thank you for the life you brought forward into the world; new life, the highest expression of womanhood.

Lisa Chamberlain (along with her partner Craig Sandiford) arrived late to the International Conference on Men’s Issues last year. I bumped into them in the corridor and Lisa explained that the reason they were late was that they had “been up all night, talking a dad down from the edge”. In their work with Families Need Fathers and, the group they founded, Equal Rights 4 Dads U.K.; Lisa and Craig devote incalculable time and a boundless amount of empathy to supporting fathers who are struggling to secure meaningful access to their kids and/or are struggling to survive without it. They direct men towards practical help and take on the roles of counsellors. I know that, that father they saved back in July was not the first, nor the last father whose suicide has been prevented due to the commitment of this amazing couple – and unfortunately there’ll be more again, due to our corrupt family justice system. This International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate Lisa. Tough, kind, funny, a great baker, fantastic mum – and in the trenches making the most critical difference to men’s lives.

Happy International Women’s Day, Lisa Chamberlain.

When I heard that Care International were holding this years #March4Women indoors, I couldn’t stop laughing. Upon assessing today’s weather report however, I had to concede that they may well have been on to something when they made that decision!

 

 

 

Nevertheless, we persisted! Yes, our beautiful group of warriors for equality (Janice Fiamengo’s words, not mine!) braved the inclement weather to take a stand against feminism.

 

 

Some interesting conversations were had, between our non-feminist collective and the feminist attendees. They varied, from respectful and earnest attempts to achieve mutual understanding – to us fending off insults and verbal abuse. One feminist hoped I would be victimised (I thanked her) and another was outrageously aggressive to several of us – particularly our cameraman. Had he responded in kind, I have no doubt that the police would have been called to the scene.

A big thank you to today’s non-feminist collective for braving the weather – and the ideologically possessed!

Video and audio recordings will be made available on our YouTube channel as soon as possible.
