A piece in yesterday’s Telegraph (£). I was contacted yesterday by the journalist, Tim Sigsworth, who asked me for comments on the issue. I sent him a lengthy response and he drew the following for his piece:
Mike Buchanan, founder of Justice for Men & Boys, said crimes by boys and young men were not being caused by emojis.
“This is a moral panic,” he said. “There is a boy crisis but of course – due to gynocentrism – the mainstream media’s focus is on the impact on girls. Adolescence is a scandalous anti-male propaganda piece.”
End of extract. The Daily Mail picked up on my comments, in this piece (£):
“However, Mike Buchanan, of Justice for Men & Boys, labelled it as ‘moral panic’ and argued that crimes by boys and young men ‘are not being caused by emojis’, accusing the media of ‘gynocentrism’ in focusing solely on the dangers posed to girls.”
