[Note added 29.11.16: We haven’t been regularly presenting ‘Feminist of the Month’ awards since April 2016, because people now fully understand that feminists are whiny, gormless, toxic liars. We shall in future present awards on an ad-hoc basis.]

The prime weapon employed by feminists is whining, a continuation of little girls’ employment of, ‘It’s not fair – wah! wah!! wah!!!’ along with associated foot stamping.

Feminist Personality Disorder, as it’s known to psychologists, is a developmental disorder. These women have never made the transition from childhood to adulthood. It follows they don’t accept – unlike normal women – that they should achieve their goals in life through work, rather than whining.

We’ve been presenting Whiny Feminist of the Month awards since November 2013, revealing to the world the extent of feminist whining.

A Voice for Men is the most-visited and most influential men’s human rights advocacy website in the world, and our piece on The Whine Club was published there. We were delighted by the number and quality of comments the piece has attracted.

We invited nominations for our Whiny Feminist of the Month awards, and were inundated with suggestions, as you’d expect. More than a few people have suggested we have a ‘Whiny Feminist of the Week’ award, but we’re too busy to add that to our list of things to do. Maybe one day. Frankly, there are more than enough contenders for ‘Whiny Feminist of the Day’ awards.

We only present these awards on an ad hoc basis now. The fact that feminists are invariably whiners is very well understood by people with an interest in gender politics.

The inaugural winner of the Whiny Feminist of the Month award, which leads to automatic membership of The Whine Club, was – quelle surprise – Laura Bates, the ‘brains’ behind The Everyday Sexism Project. We generally refer to her as The Everyday Whining Project. Her certificate is here.

Subsequent winners of the award are below, in reverse chronological order:

May 2017: Gretchen Kelly American blogger

March 2016: Caroline Criado-Perez Whine merchant (she also won this award in April 2014)

December 2015: Martina Batovic, Valeria Napoleone Whiners about the prices paid by collectors for works by female artists

November 2015: Carolyn Fairbairn Director-general, CBI

October 2015: Emily Thornberry Labour MP

July 2015: Sarah Pritchard Associate professor, Cornell University

Demands on our time mean we can’t present these awards as often as they’re deserved, so henceforth they’ll only be presented on an ad hoc basis.

December 2014: womaninthewoods A woman suffering from Feminist Personality Disorder

November 2014: Dr Heather Savigny Politics lecturer, Bournemouth University

Lying is a key tactic employed by feminists. Even when exposed publicly as liars – by ourselves, and others – feminists never retract their lies, let alone apologise for having made them.

These awards were originally titled, ‘Lying Women of the Month’. Following the realisation that the lying women were invariably feminists, from July 2014 onwards we’ve presented ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ awards. The awards in reverse chronological order:

January 2017: Harriet Harman MP

November 2016: Paula Sherriff MP

March 2016: Marianne Hester Professor of Gender, Violence & International Policy, Bristol University

February 2016: Sophie Walker Leader, Women’s Equality Party. She also won this award in November 2015

December 2015: Jane Humphries Professor of Economic History, University of Oxford

November 2015: Sophie Walker Leader, Women’s Equality Party

October 2015: Samantha Beckett Director General, Economics & Markets (Department for Business, Innovation and Skills)

September 2015: Anne Longfield Children’s Commissioner for England

July 2015: Sandi Toksvig Lesbian ‘comedienne’, Women’s Equality Party spokeswoman. She also won this award in May 2015.

June 2015: Emma Ritch Executive Director, Engender (a Scottish radical feminist campaigning organisation, 88.6% funded by Scottish taxpayers – mostly men).

May 2015: Sandi Toksvig Lesbian ‘comedienne’, Women’s Equality Party spokeswoman.

January 2015: Caroline Criado-Perez Whine merchant who’s won this award three times in the past eight months.

December 2014: Roweena Russell North East Feminist Gathering.

November 2014: Laura Bates Whine merchant. She also won this award in September 2014.

October 2014: Caroline Criado-Perez Whine merchant, the genius behind the ‘women on banknotes’ campaign. She also won this award in May 2014.

September 2014: Laura Bates Whine merchant.

A week after we presented Ms Bates – ‘Special Snowflake’ – with this award, and emailed her to notify her of the matter, she was on a televised debate being broadcast live by the BBC. She repeated the lie (that over two women a week in the UK are killed by partners or ex-partners) and when reminded of our challenge by an audience member, Owen Davies, a student, she repeated it again – here. The proof that her claim is a lie is here.

August 2014: Roz Hardie CEO of OBJECT, a feminist campaign organisation.

July 2014: Gloria De Piero MP Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities.

June 2014: Franki Hackett Women’s Aid spokeswoman. She won the award for making at least seven demonstrably false claims and/or misleading statements during an online discussion with Glen Poole. We publicly challenged Polly Neate (CEO, Women’s Aid) to retract the claims, and she contemptuously declined to do so. A link to the recording, our public challenge, and Ms Neate’s response to it, is here.

May 2014: Caroline Criado-Perez. Whine merchant.

April 2014: Teresa Hughes.

March 2014: Kat Banyard Whine merchant. Her award certificate has a link to the Channel 4 News interview for which she won the award.

The Anti-Feminism League is run by the people who run J4MB and Campaign for Merit in Business. The website was launched in early 2012 to raise public consciousness about radical feminism, a female supremacy movement driven by misandry (the hatred of men). Radical feminism is a scourge across the developed world, and increasingly in the developing world too. The British state has for many years operated along lines favoured by radical feminists, as our 2015 general election manifesto demonstrated.

The Anti-Feminism League website hasn’t published any new posts for some time because all new posts are published on this website, and if they relate to Campaign for Merit in Business, on that website too.

The final test of truth is ridicule. Very few dogmas have ever faced it and survived.

Many years ago we started a comedy channel, but some time ago ceased adding new videos to it. We recommend you check out the comedy channel on our Laughing at Feminists website, which contains all the same material but is being updated with new material.

We invite you to email us (info@j4mb.org.uk) with your personal favourite video and audio files, so we can consider adding them.

We’re sometimes asked if we’ve ever had any substantive responses to the many public challenges we’ve issued to feminists and Toadies, men in senior positions who accede to feminist demands, however ridiculous, and whatever the consequences. No, we haven’t. These people are utterly shameless in their pursuit of feminist agendas and/or specifically anti-male agendas e.g. non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors (Male Genital Mutilation, MGM). We’ve presented many of them with ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ or ‘Toady’ awards. A link to all the winners of the former awards is here.

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Caulfield as Technical Director of J4MB. Tom has long been a key contributor to our work, and the work of other people interested in men’s issues. An expert in both photography and video recording, he’s long used the pseudonym “Anthony J Corniche III” for his video recording and editing, and has used the term “Good Men Gone Productions” for some of his work.

Tom works tirelessly for the men’s rights movement, he’s a pleasure to work with, he’s a force of nature, and to cap it all he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Paul Elam once said, “Tom is so talented, he makes me sick!” He’s also very generous, donating high-quality audio and video equipment to British MRAs over many years.

Tom was responsible for the filming and editing of the presentations at three of the five International Conferences on Men’s Issues (ICMIs) to date, and the playlists are here – ICMI16 (London), ICMI17 (Gold Coast, Australia), ICMI18 (London). He was also responsible for the filming of the presentations at ICMI19 in Chicago, others were responsible for the editing of the video files. 25 of the presentations are here.

In Chicago I had the pleasure of surprising Tom in the closing ceremony with the inaugural Quentin Tarantino Award for Directing Excellence.

His promotional videos for ICMI20 are here. If you enjoy humour, don’t miss #15, and be ready to freeze the video to catch the text at a number of points.

In January 2020 he was (audio) interviewed for the YouTube channel The Glass Blind Spot. Enjoy (45:05).

Tom’s photography website is here. Click on “Portfolio” on the upper left-hand corner of the screen on his website to see more of Tom’s work.

We look forward to working with Tom for many years to come.

After writing Profitable Buying Strategies, an international bestseller published by Kogan Page in 2018, Mike Buchanan launched LPS publishing. Since then he’s published 14 books – nine of his own (his Amazon page here), one apiece from William Collins, Herbert Purdy and Swayne O’Pie, and two by Terrence Popp (Redonkulas). He invites you to contact him (mike@j4mb.org.uk, 07967 026163) with respect to the publication of your book(s) in paperback, hardback, or ebook editions.

About four weeks ago I was commissioned by International Business Times, a leading international online news service, to provide some balance in their output of pieces about gender-related matters. I would be free to write on any matters I wished, in a fortnightly column.

The website already had two British feminist commentators on gender-related matters including Laura Bates of The Everyday Sexism Project, twice a winner of our ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ awards. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time that a men’s rights advocate anywhere in the world had been given a regular platform by a mainstream media outlet.

I was commissioned to write pieces on men’s issues, with an open-ended contract, and I was looking forward to providing pieces for years to come. I decided to start with uncontroversial pieces.

The first was on gender balance in corporate boardrooms. Nobody in the world is challenging the evidence presented by Campaign for Merit in Business, demonstrating a causal link between artificially driving up female representation on boards, and corporate financial decline. I presented the evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, yet the government continues to bully major companies into taking on more female directors, with the threat of legislated gender quotas.

The second piece was on suicide, the leading cause of death of men under 50 in the UK. The male:female suicide differential more than doubled from 1.7:1 in 1983 to 3.5:1 in 2013. The government is not only doing nothing about the matter, it is actively driving the high male suicide rate, as the article explains.

A day or two after the second article was published, I received the following email from my Commissioning Editor, and it’s reproduced here with his kind permission:

Hi Mike, I hope all’s good with you.

We’ve had a chat as a senior editorial group and unfortunately we think it’s best to terminate the relationship we have with you.

Your articles for us have been balanced and backed by evidence, which is fine. But we realise you have courted controversy for other articles you have written, and we feel this isn’t the best image for the IBT brand going forward.

Please understand that we will continue to seek balance in our coverage of gender issues, and we will keep a close eye on the progress of J4MB. We may well be interested in doing an interview with you in the lead-up to May’s election.

You will, of course, be paid in full for what you have written for us.

I hope you understand our position on this, and, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to raise them with me. Good luck for the election.

A few days after receiving this email, I learned that International Business Times had introduced ‘balance’ against their two (female) feminist commentators by recruiting Ally Fogg, a (male) feminist Guardian columnist.
