Interesting. Extracts:

“Robson carried out the offences between March 2024 and May last year while she was on licence after serving a second prison term for fraud.

The court heard the mum had 33 previous convictions for 87 offences, including 31 earlier frauds…

Judge Robinson told her she targeted victims before “spinning them lies about your personal life in order to gain their sympathy and trust to persuade them to part with money”.

She said one victim was pursued “mercilessly for everything he had” until he paid over his last £1.07 which was “all he had in his account”.”

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.

The BBC published this yesterday. So who did the BBC turn to for comment on this question? An extract:

“However, concerns remain over the idea of establishing a Minister for Men and Boys.

Penny East is chief executive of the Fawcett Society, a charity that campaigns for women’s rights and gender equality.

“There are serious societal issues affecting men and boys that need to be addressed,” East said.

“One of the biggest is online misogyny, how widespread and normalised it has become, and how manipulative men are monetising it.

“If we can solve some of those problems, it helps men and boys and, in turn, helps women and girls, because misogyny is one of the root causes of the problems facing women and girls.

“The government does need to look at this, but would having a minister be the answer? How would they operate?

“It can’t be tokenistic and it can’t be divisive, and we have to get over the idea that it’s ‘us and them’.” “

Our thanks to Elizabeth Hobson, leader of J4MB in 2020/21 during the time we were a political party (2013-23), for this image of the cover of an International Women’s Day leaflet brought home from school recently by one of her sons:

Eli writes:

“There are feminist myths in this document that IWD has cascaded down through my sons school to my inbox – and the token “issue” cited [not enough women in F1!] is so niche it’s hilarious. I knew a young man who was hoping to get there, years ago, and by age 18 his family had poured unbelievable sums into training and equipment for him to compete in races miles away from that pinnacle. Almost everyone who wants to be anywhere near F1 will never have a ghost of a hope. But then they also signal boost various women in teams coming up through universities currently – so it’s presented as a problem being resolved, rather than a problem showing how badly women have it. 

There’s no mention of the value that normal women can bring to society through supporting their families and performing sex-typical jobs (which I think is a shame – most young women will end up doing normal things like that but schools haven’t mentioned that to us for years so it can come as a bit of a shock when we realise we weren’t born to be female astronauts or CEOs and have to find an identity within a relentless drudgery that was never presented as an option for our lives). But it’s clear that some thought was given to choosing the inspirational women cited, and almost all of them are undeniably remarkable and interesting. 

And then there’s page 3. Not only accepts that misandry exists [J4MB: Although it refers to it as “misandrism”] but puts it before misogyny which appears to me to make clear that it’s not a less important secondary phenomenon but quite the equal. I know they’ve been going hard on opposing “Andrew Tate” and “misogyny” and all this in schools generally – but it looks to me like whoever put this booklet together is aware that we are certainly past the point where it can be denied that prejudice against men exists, and I’m refreshed to see a tone significantly less lamenting regarding women’s place in society than I’m used to from feminists.”

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“And yet another thing to add to the long list of reasons women need so much more help than men, just to turn up and do their job! Hot on the heels of all the campaigning about “menopause” along comes “burnout”. Now the actual figures don’t seem so dramatic as its 2 in 5 women and one in three men who report getting “burnout” over all occupations. However in the overwhelmingly female occupations listed, its higher. Having worked in three of them retail, social care and healthcare I’d suggest this is because these also tend to have a lot of workers not pulling their weight! Burnout could be inevitable if they are busy covering all the other reasons female colleagues can’t concentrate on their work and need “flexibility”, lighter workloads, attention to mental health, assistance with menopause,.. the list goes on. “Your employer may also be able to adjust your workload or provide flexible working and temporary reasonable adjustments” which means of course somebody has to cover the work. Frankly taking all this into account the feminists make a very good case for employers to be careful not to end up with a largely female workforce. Specially those in competitive industries.”
