My warm thanks to Andy Johnston for taking care of the websites over the past three weeks. He’s done a great job.
Today’s video is here (43:16).
Over a period of more than two years we’re posting links to one video daily from the J4MB YouTube channel. The channel includes our media appearances since 2012, 300+ videos of talks and other materials from the International Conferences on Men’s Issues (2014 – ) and other men’s issues conferences we’ve been involved with, and so much more. The individual conference playlists are here.
Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. Mike Buchanan, Steve Moxon and Dr Catherine Hakim (the originator of Preference Theory) presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, the video of their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).
Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The related comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

Before I retired from paid employment in 2009 at the age of 52, and embraced a life of penury as a full-time MRA, I worked as a freelance business consultant, a lucrative line of work for those finding some success in it, as I did. My assignments mostly centred on cost reduction for major organizations, but one exception was my work for the Conservative party over 2006-8, where I developed an innovative commercial model for their annual conferences which resulted in more than £11.5 million (more than £18.0 million today, accounting for inflation) flowing into the party’s coffers over the subsequent few years.
The international publisher Kogan Page commissioned a book from me in 2009, which they published with the title Profitable Buying Strategies: How to cut procurement costs and buy your way to higher profits. The book is still on sale on their website for £39.99, here, likewise on Amazon, here.
Kogan Page recently returned the copyright to me. I can scarcely imagine your excitement at finding I’ve just published a Kindle edition, COST REDUCTION: A procurement expert reveals 10 keys to cost reduction for all the goods and services organizations buy, retailing at Amazon.co.uk for just £7.63, here. The paperback edition should be published in a month or two, priced at maybe £19.99 or £24.99.
Have a good week.

I’ve had a very enjoyable two weeks in Thailand, with the good people of XY Crew. Paul Elam was on great form, and we’ve agreed to co-author a book. I’ve started work on another, my 11th, both should be out in the coming six months.
It’s been so enjoyable, a number of us have decided to extent our stay in Pattaya, a very vibrant city with thousands of bars (though I’ve been in none of them, having given up alcohol two months ago). It’s a quite remarkable thing to be smiled at in the street by beautiful young women rather than be to glared at by them, which has long been the norm in the West. The Thai people on the whole appear to be happy, if poor by Western standards.
Thailand is a terrific destination for an economical holiday. I’m staying in a very comfortable room with aircon – an essential! – in a modern hotel with a large outdoor swimming pool costing £15pn. You can even get a terrific full English breakfast in the city for under £5.00. We may go to Vietnam next year, which is highly regarded and even cheaper than Thailand.
Andy’s done a first-class job of looking after this website since I left and he’s kindly agreed to continue for another week. I’ll be taking over again on Monday, 24 November.

Our thanks to Tom for this (video, 1:05).
Does anyone really understand quantum mechanics? It’s doubtful, given that even Richard Feynman, the great American theoretical physicist, said he didn’t. I recall studying the subject during the first year of my chemistry degree in 1979/80, and being highly relieved to learn I didn’t have to study it thereafter. All the students who did go on to study it further were men with unusually large shiny pointy heads, I recall.
Does anyone in the manosphere understand quantum mechanics? I turned to William Collins (Rick Bradford) of The Illiustrated Empathy Gap who I happen to know secured a degree in physics at the University of Cambridge in… well, let’s be honest, not recently. He directed me to two of his international bestsellers which really should be in every MRA’s library – The Unweirding: not just another quantum mechanics text (2020) and Five Square Roots: the remarkable fecundity of impossible square roots (2023). You now have no reason to say you’re struggling to find the perfect Xmas presents for anyone…

Interesting. Fiona Bruce chairs the show, and all the other three panelists are women. Gender balance is a fine thing. I’m sure Matt will do a great job despite the odds.

An excellent piece just published by Unherd. Extracts:
“Furthermore, the Daily Mail, which first reported an encounter between Giuffre and Prince Andrew, paid Giuffre $160,000 for the story in 2011, plus serialisation revenue. The journalist who produced that story also wrote for The Daily Telegraph in Australia that Giuffre “said there was never any sexual relationship between the Prince and herself”.
“The unwavering credulity with which this book has been received by journalists, editors, publishers and politicians is a testament to how the most basic standards of information-gathering and knowledge-production can be summarily discarded in service of a narrative that people want to believe. For those of us who prefer to remain anchored in some semblance of sanity and reality: Virginia Roberts Giuffre was undoubtedly a disturbed individual, who may well have suffered grave misfortunes. But that her tales could be unquestioningly broadcast throughout the international media — and be allowed to stoke unrelenting political turmoil, even with talk of a constitutional crisis — is irresponsible in the extreme.”
Giuffere was a liar and a fantasist who became very rich from her lies and fantasies. I have seen no evidence to support her claim that she even met Prince Andrew. The media attacks on him should end and the millions of pounds she extorted from him returned.
