Grey’s global CEO Laura Maness departs, to be replaced by… nobody.

The Wiki entry on Grey Global starts with this:

“Grey Group is a global advertising and marketing agency with headquarters in New York City,[1] and 432 offices in 96 countries, operating in 154 cities.[2] It is organized into four geographical units: North America; Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.[3]

Grey’s global CEO Laura Maness has just stepped down as CEO, after a three-year stint. A piece in the industry publication Campaign is here. An extract:

“Grey will not appoint a new global CEO. Instead, the agency is shifting to a co-leadership model. Gabriel Schmitt, global chief creative officer, and Jason Kahner, global chief client officer, will jointly lead Grey.”

The bottom line? The female CEO of a global agency was judged to be of no more value to the organisation (maybe less) than one of its receptionists.

Fiamengo File returns (update)

[Update 3.10.25: We’re delighted to report that Steve Brule’s original YouTube channel, taken down by YouTube some years ago, has been reinstated, along with many episodes of Fiamengo File and No Joke Janice here.]

Original post:

Some years ago YouTube took down Steve Brule’s original channel, including the playlist of 130+ videos constituting the first series of Fiamengo File, featuring Professor Janice Fiamengo. I’m delighted to report that following a recent conversation with Steve, he’s started uploading those videos to his new YouTube channel, the Fiamengo File playlist is here. Janice’s Substack articles are also very well worth catching, here.

Janice was the keynote speaker at the 2024 International Conference on Men’s Issues, her talk title Calling a Moratorium on Women’s Tears: How Women Use the Accountability Gap to Manipulate Men and Why Men Must Resist It (36:17). A playlist of all the conference videos since 2014 is on our YouTube channel here, and on Paul Elam’s YouTube channel (116,000+ subscribers) here.

Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London, appointed the first female Archbishop of Canterbury

The Church of England just signed its own death warrant. This insane development was always inevitable after the (equally insane) appointment of female bishops. I say that despite being an atheist for the past 50+ years.

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 comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

@TheTinMenBlog on women invading Men’s Sheds

Our thanks to Sean for this. @TheTinMen write on X:

“I’m glad women find value in ‘Mens Sheds’, and 100% support a similar space for them. But this is the second news story of a shed going gender neutral after Loughborough, my home town, did the same in April. There’s nothing ‘inclusive’ about depriving men of their own space.”

Good point, well made. Some of the ensuing comments:

“The aim of the feminists is to destroy all men and boys-only spaces.”

“Women (not just feminists) know well men go to the Mens Sheds often to find a space to be free of female abusers. They are invading & will systemically take over all mens spaces in to deny abused men an escape from their abuse. And of course women, MSM & academia celebrate it.”

“Women’s spaces are their own, mens spaces are women’s. Eventually.”

“Serious question, women can have safe spaces; groups gyms, clubs. For Men, why can’t we just have some to with other blokes. Why is it such an issue for women to accept this? All men’s spaces get cancelled :(“

“Meanwhile, women get outraged when men work their way into women’s spaces.”

“Ladies, guess what? Nobody likes you. Nobody wants you around. You are not welcome in our spaces and we will begin kicking you out of them soon. Thanks for fighting so hard to kick men out of your spaces. We’ll use the gender discrimination precedents you set against you.”

“Women are high control freaks”
