Prostate cancer patients ignored five times before diagnosis
An interesting piece (£) in the Telegraph. Health Secretary Wes Streeting is supporting the paper’s campaign for a “targeted” national screening programme, aimed at men at higher risk of contracting the cancer. While appreciated, the two screening programmes for women’s cancers (breast and cervical) aren’t “targeted”.

cp comments inspired by the latest Law Commission report
Yesterday we published Empowering the Innocent: Publication of the Law Commission’s ‘final piece of the rape review’ “. Our thanks to cp for these comments:
“In Scotland, a jurisprudence ‘guided’ by Lady Dorrian and Dorothy Bain KC, successfully eliminated the need for corroborating evidence…. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c977d35l7mjo
…and attempted to have rape trials decided by ‘trauma-informed’ judges, rather than jury. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-59151540
These women aren’t interested in justice. They want judgement against men, and they want to be in charge of the process. It’s only a matter of time before this pervades the entire UK. Operation Soteria Bluestone is in full swing. https://www.npcc.police.uk/our-work/violence-against-women-and-girls/operation-soteria/
Sir Stephen House (who probably has some experience in such matters) was summarily dismissed from the ‘operation’ for daring to suggest that allegations of rape might not be all that they appear, and women might have ulterior motives for telling porkies. In doing so, he upset ‘Professor’ Betsy Stanko who is really running the show. In a model of professional behaviour, Professor Stanko dealt with this betrayal of the desired narrative by taking her grievances to Cathy Newman on Channel 4 News. As you do…. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-64815863
As far back as 2006, it was well known, from a range of meta studies, that false allegation of rape was probably around 11% minimum, and could be as high as 47%. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4509177 [J4MB: William Collins estimated in The Empathy Gap that 77% of rape allegations made to the police in the UK were false, drawing solely upon government statistics.]
Yet, despite this, in 2012, our then Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, co-authors the Levitt Report, with Alison Levitt QC. This execrable document claims that men have little to worry about, as the rate of false accusation is 0.6%. In doing so, these lawyers have weaponised the failings of the DPP to tackle false accusation. The figure of 0.6% represents the percentage of women who will find themselves in the dock, facing charges of perjury, or wasting police time.
Starmer has always found it beneficial to his career to cow-tow to the feminist cause. Hasn’t he done well..? Now he is a mouthpiece to a feminist cabinet. King of reprehensible and poisonous Toads.
Here’s what men have to worry about from false accusation. Loss of employment. Loss of liberty. Suicide. Suicide of the mother of the falsely accused… http://empathygap.uk/Rape%20Case%20Histories%20modified%2017_8_20.pdf
Who, in the mid-20th Century would ever have predicted that Enlightenment values would be going backwards as the mid-21st Century approached? Yet, here we are. There must be an underlying reason for this…”

Free Speech Union’s weekly newsletter
Critiquing Feminism: “Victims, Violence and Villains.”
Coffee Brew Crew
Our thanks to Ian for informing us he’s set up this on X. He writes:
“Okay! I have set up a Community for men-only called ‘Coffee Brew Crew’ to rival the female-only App ‘Tea’. Please join to share your dating experiences, provide details of women who should be red-flagged owing to making false allegations, gold-diggers, domestic abuse, paternity fraud and any other warning signs for other guys to avoid these women – as for the ‘Tea’ app. Maybe we can discuss developing an App as well and what should be in it. Let’s test the market to see if there is a demand for this sort of site.”

Empowering the Innocent: “Publication of The Law Commission’s ‘final piece of the rape review’ “
Our thanks to ETI for this. They write:
“The Law Commission published its ‘final piece of the rape review’ this week. An extract from the document – ‘At present, the legal framework requires complainants to explain their request for measures to assist them with giving evidence. Under the recommendations, complainants would have an entitlement to standard measures while they give their evidence, and would not need to justify their request.’
Nothing in the summary about false allegations, and just lip service to ‘defendants’, as expected. We remember Louise Casey largely debunking ‘rape myths’ in a review recently – Joshua Rozenberg saying ‘the only rape myths are that there are rape myths’ – but the Law Commission’s Penny Lewis seems to see them as doctrinal here. The question of ‘what IS rape now?’ is clearly too much of a question, and they don’t seem willing to countenance it yet. Two languages are being spoken.
At least we’re already working on counter-discourse – but the assumption is that complainants need to have an easier time of the process, rather than looking at if the process should be happening at all.”
