Our thanks to John for this. He was a big fan of Chris Rea, one of whose memorable hits was Driving Homes for Christmas.

It saddened me to read this. Extracts:
“I was abused, physically, mentally, and emotionally between the ages of eight and 18. Because of what was going on, I could not have friends, as they may have wanted to come to my house and that would have made things worse. I haven’t had a birthday party since I was five and I don’t always remember when my birthday is…
I constantly have triggering moments around people, but it is not their fault, which makes it all worse. Then I feel guilty that I have had such an overreaction to things which they quite often either haven’t done or have not intended. If all this sounds pathetic, that is because it is. I know you are probably thinking that a real man would not allow this to happen to them for so long. That is the response I have had from prison psychologists before. [J4MB emphasis]
I suppose I should be happy, though, because according to the Government, the prison system and the BBC, I and other male victims of domestic violence do not exist.”
I was moved to post these comments, which I hope will reach him:
“I am so sorry to hear your story, which most certainly is NOT ‘pathetic’.
Men and boys are very often the victims of domestic abuse, at least as often as women and girls, according to the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (2013). I’ll post a link to this letter on the website of Justice for Men & Boys, I hope you’ll get the support you need to recover from the traumas you suffered as a child.”
I would encourage others to also post sympathetic and supportive comments. Thank you.

Today’s video is here (19:35).
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.

Interesting. An extract:
“Nevertheless, sex differences in vocational interests and preferences exist, and they are rooted in biology. Consequently, incentives and other social engineering schemes will only go so far in changing proportional representations in vocations. In one survey of more than 45,000 high school students in Australia, males ranked psychology as their 17th most popular career choice, whereas females ranked psychology as their top choice. [J4MB emphasis] Moreover, males rated six different engineering fields in their top 20 careers, whereas females did not rate a single engineering field in their top 20. Thus, neither STEM nor psychology should be expected to exhibit equal male and female representations.”

Our thanks to Gary for this. Jack Nicholson starred in As Good as it Gets (1997). Nicholson played the part of Melvin Udall, a misanthropic, bigoted and obsessive-compulsive best-selling romance novelist. He dislikes talking about his books, but when he’s in an office after a meeting with his agent, a nearby young woman, gushing with emotion, rushes up to him and asks, “How do you write women so well?” His reply is perfect. Enjoy (39 seconds).
