Women and Equalities Committee launches new inquiry into Misogyny: the manosphere and online content
A new press release from parliament. A new idiotic inquiry into misogyny, the feminist projection of their own misandry onto men, seeing misogyny where it doesn’t exist – misogyny being, of course, being reflected (in feminists’ shrivelled pea-brains) in men’s and boys’ attitudes and behaviours that seek to (justifiably) hold women and girls accountable for their actions and inactions. An extract:
“The inquiry will explore the prevalence and impact of misogynistic views, attitudes and behaviour among young men and boys, particularly in schools and educational settings and the reasons for this. It will examine ways that boys and young men are also being harmed and if better support, activities and services need to be available to them.
MPs on the cross-party Committee, chaired by Labour MP Sarah Owen, will examine evidence of rising misogyny among young men and boys, and the role of social media and online communities, referred to as the ‘manosphere’.
It will also look at how online content and the availability of violent pornography, is contributing to sexist and misogynistic attitudes, behaviour and violence against women and girls both online and offline.
The inquiry will examine how social media influencers are shaping attitudes towards women and girls and the strategies and interventions needed to address this.
It will also assess what role social media companies and online platforms are playing in the promotion of misogynistic content and what policies they have in place for deplatforming or demonetising this content.” [J4MB emphasis: Doubtless this website, along with many others, is in the firing line.]
Another:
“Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) Chair Sarah Owen MP said: “The recent television drama Adolescence brought into sharp political and public focus the burgeoning issue of misogynistic views and behaviour among young men and boys and the questions over its prevalence, particularly in schools and educational settings. [J4MB emphasis: A work of fiction depicting something that has never occurred in the UK – a 13-year-old boy knifing to death a 13-year-old girl – “brought into sharp political and public focus the burgeoning issue of misogynistic views and behaviour among young men and boys”. You couldn’t make this s*** up except, of course, that feminists like Sarah Bloody-Owen MP DO.]
“With young people spending significant amounts of time online, the Committee want to conduct a timely assessment of the drivers for such attitudes, as well as explore the complex interplay with social media content, the online manosphere and violent pornography.
“This inquiry will examine what more could be done both on and offline to address these trends, and also feeds into WEC’s wider scrutiny of Government work to tackle violence against women and girls.” “

Fake medical practitioner Mohammed Alazawi, 54, found guilty of 40 offences which include multiple counts of fraud, wounding with intent, administering and supplying prescription only medicines, and assault occasioning actual and grievous bodily harm.
The CPS yesterday published this, while Birmingham Live yesterday published this. His crimes were “laid bare” after a “seven-year police probe” during which he presumably continued to mutilate boys’ genitals. What could be more “two-tier justice” than allowing adherents of two religions to have their sons’ genitals mutilated without fear of punishment (but of course not their daughters’ genitals).
Neither account mentions what punishment the man will receive. I’ve contacted the journalist to ask about this.

Free Speech Union – weekly newsletter
British Thought Leaders: Susie Bennett – “We Need to Talk About Britain’s Biggest Killer of Men Under 50.”
Interesting (video, 38:24). Susie Bennett is a PhD student at the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory in the University of Glasgow (22 of the 28 members of the Laboratory are women). I’ve posted the following comments, which take up the remainder of this blog piece:
“Thanks for this fascinating interview which I’ll link to on our website.
Susie comes across as a very intelligent and compassionate woman, but there’s a whole area she doesn’t cover in this interview. To my mind, the key reason that far more men than women commit suicide in the UK – and globally – is not so much their responses to life’s challenges, but that they’re far more likely to face life challenges which lead to the wish to end life.
Two obvious examples:
– homelessness, over 90% of the street homeless are men
– denial of access to children after family breakdowns (over 90% of parents denied access are fathers).
Now, as with so many other suicide-inducing challenges, these are male disadvantages (and causes of suffering) created by female privilege – in the first case through preference for accommodation, in the second through women’s greater power to persuade family courts to deny child access to the other parent. I understand the male suicide rate increases threefold after fathers are exposed to family courts.
Surely the key to reducing the male suicide rate lies in ending (or at least reducing) the incidence of such devastating life challenges as denial of access to children? The empathy gap will always be with us, and a lack of funding for initiatives for men is but one of many consequences of it.
One final thought. Many men find that when life is at the most challenging for them – e.g. they lose their jobs, and are struggling to find another – their (female) partners head for the hills, one consequence of female hypergamy. And lower-status men probably won’t have a female partner in the first place, again because of female hypergamy.

Pope Leo XIV
Robert Louis Prevost has just been elected the head of the Roman Catholic church, as Pope Leo X1V. We hope he will continue the church’s refusal to ordinate women, a prime cause of the decline of the Church of England.

Père David’s deer
Interesting. No women played a part in this amazing story, how can that even be possible? The start of the Wikipedia piece:
“The Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus), also known as the milu or elaphure, is a species of deer native to the subtropical river valleys of China. It grazes mainly on grass and aquatic plants. It is the only extant member of the genus Elaphurus. Some experts suggest demoting Elaphurus to a subgenus of Cervus. Based on genetic comparisons, Père David’s deer is closely related to Eld’s deer.
Père David’s deer were hunted almost to extinction in their native China by the late 19th century, but a number were taken to zoos in France and Germany and the deer was bred successfully in captivity. In the early 20th century, the British nobleman and politician Herbrand Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford, acquired a few Père David’s deer from the Berlin Zoo and built up a large herd on his estate at Woburn Abbey. In the 1980s, the duke’s great-grandson Robin Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford, donated several dozen deer to the Chinese government for reintroducing the species to the wild. As of 2020, the wild population in China was an estimated 2,825 individuals, with a further 7,380 in various nature reserves in China. All Père David’s deer alive today descend from Herbrand Russell’s original herd.”

BBC culture
BBC culture – an oxymoron?
I’ve recently been watching content from a Chinese state broadcaster, China Global Television Network (CGTN), especially CGTN Documentary. The quality of content of the latter is in English and first-class, a proud celebration of China’s past, present, and planned future, including wildlife documentaries.
It occurred to me to Google search, “Does the BBC promote British culture?” This took me here, do let me know (mike@j4mb.org.uk) if you can find any pieces celebrating British culture. Thank you.
