Sad. An interesting and detailed article, well worth reading in full. Extracts takes up the remainder of this piece:

“A review into the death of a 27-year-old man who took his own life after suffering sustained domestic abuse at the hands of his partner has highlighted concerns that not enough is done to help male victims.

In the report, his family claim he was “treated differently” by agencies intended to help people suffering from domestic abuse because he was a man and that police often took his partner’s side, as she was a woman…

The report recounts how, in March 2023, Val [J4MB: a pseudonym for the dead man, in the report] texted a relative and Kim in the early hours, sending them a video of himself indicating he was going to end his life.

He ended the messages with “goodbye”.

Police officers forced their way into his King’s Lynn home, and found the man sat opposite the front door. Despite the efforts of the emergency services, he could not be revived. 

An inquest into his death was held at Norfolk Coroner’s Court last August.

Assistant coroner Christopher Leach did not give a verdict of suicide after toxicology analysis showed the combination of recreational cocaine and alcohol found in Val’s system would have increased risk taking behaviour.

Instead, he recorded a narrative conclusion, stating Val had died “having applied a ligature to his own neck, his intentions when doing so being unknown”. [J4MB emphasis. I refer you to the first sentence in this extract. The man sent a video of himself to his partner and a relative “indicating he was going to end his life”.]

Interesting. The start of the piece (in a Nigerian newspaper):

“A 58-year-old man has been charged to court in South Africa after 21 different female vaginas were found in a fridge in his house.

Peter Frederiksen allegedly lured women to his Bloemfontein home, sedated them and performed illegal surgical operations on them without their permission.

According to local police, he was said to be wanted for gun-running charges in his native country of Denmark.

Frederiksen, who owns a gun shop in South Africa, has been charged with sexual assault, intimidation and domestic violence, but it is not yet clear if the operations were performed on the victims while they were dead or alive or if the 21 different vaginas were from different women.” [J4MB emphasis: I’m guessing wildly that they were from different women.]

Interesting. Laura Bates and Charlotte Proudman were among the speakers, what are the chances? The end of the piece:

“The Unlikeable Woman™ Summit created a space where difficult conversations could be had with honesty and intelligence, and where being “unlikeable” was reframed as not only acceptable, but powerful.”

An interesting piece by Kristian Niemietz, Editorial Director of the IEA. In 2012 the IEA posted my blog piece, a link on this post The Institute of Economic Affairs, and ‘The Gender Diversity Delusion’, not long afterwards I gave a well-received presentation to a capacity audience at the IEA.

An interesting piece (£) in today’s Sunday Times. The bottom line (ahem)? The PSA blood test is a far better indicator of possible prostate cancer than a digital rectal examination (DRE). In the same paper, here, Jeremy Clarkson speculates that doctors carry out DREs and cup testicles while men cough, purportedly to check for hernias, for their personal enjoyment.

In my view all men should get a PSA test carried out twice annually. If your GP refuses – or offers a DRE instead, buy a test on Amazon, after watching Andy Johnston demonstrates the use of a prostate cancer test (PSA) (2022).

Yesterday we posted a piece titled New ‘1984’ Foreword Includes Warning About ‘Problematic’ Characters. Our thanks to cp for posting these comments in reply:

“1984 was published in 1949. The Wikipedia entry on ethnic GB population of the time states this: “In 1950, there were probably fewer than 20,000 non-white residents in Britain, almost all of them born overseas.” Thus, it is highly unlikely that Orwell would have felt any fundamental oversight in not introducing topics which spoke to race and ethnicity as part of the fabric of his novel.

As for the ‘misogyny’ which Ms Perkins-Waldez speaks of, the most famous line is actually an acute observation. “It was always the women, and, above all, the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies, and the nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

This tendency is one of the main reasons that modern society so resembles the dystopian nightmare pictured by Orwell in 1949. Post WW2, women were leaving behind the domestic sphere, making incursion into business and commerce, politics and jurisprudence, bringing female values with them, and finding fault in men for being there.

Now, as in the novel, we all must pretend, pretend, pretend, toe the Party line, follow the Narrative, or risk cancellation. Perhaps be banged up for a time under the watchful eye of Two-Tier Keir, less of a Big Brother than a Big Girl’s Blouse, useful idiot to his feminist Cabinet. We must listen to the endless complaints of Ms Perkins-Waldez and her ilk, determined to see the world through a lens of irrelevance while they attempt to sully the reputation of works which they barely understand.”

Our thanks to cp for this, published in 2020. An extract:

“Beside helping many soldiers, woman had something else good about her; self awareness.. she said that her fellow females aren’t capable of love and describes the toxicity of the female nature very well.”

In 2018 Simon Webb, a historian, published a video (11:37) on Florence Nightingale. His video description:

“In this episode we untangle the legend of the famous ‘Lady of the Lamp’ with the often grim reality. During her stay at the hospital in Scutari, far from saving countless lives and establishing the foundations for modern day nursing/ hospital practises. It has been alleged that during her management of the hospital, there was a surge in deaths [J4MB emphasis] due to her poor understanding of the transmission of germs and sewage systems.
