A piece by James Esses for Matt Goodwin’s Substack.

It was many years ago that I realised the FT had been “captured”. Nobody at the paper – including Lionel Barber, the editor over 2005-20 – had the slightest interest in the causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. In 2018 we had the ridiculous spectacle of the President’s Club closing after the FT’s confected outrage at the alleged behaviour of some businessmen at an all-male evening, with respect to the “hostesses”.

Outstanding. The start of the piece:

“One can sense the beginning of a joke: a radical feminist (barrister Charlotte Proudman), a men’s advocate (Ally Fogg of the Men and Boys Coalition), and a professor who studies the manosphere (cyber threat specialist Joe Whittaker) walk into a BBC studio to discuss the UK government’s announced plan to tackle misogyny. The joke is that no real debate occurs, despite Fogg’s contention that boys and men are as much victims as victimizers. Overall, the three agree that extreme misogyny is a “serious” “pervasive” problem, that it is prevalent throughout online men’s discussions (in the so-called “manosphere”), and that boys and men must be educated out of any tendency to direct anger at women or feminism.

Inch by feminist inch, what was once a convenient exaggeration (that criticism of feminism and non-feminist men’s discussion are misogynistic) has become the only allowable view.”

I’ve just received this from Bettina Arndt:

“Hi Mike,  You probably realise our conference was yesterday…. It was a great success. The speakers were sensational, no protesters, all went very smoothly.

Just thought you might like to watch some of the speeches, in case you missed it. Here’s the link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzmEygTvrwE&t=131s. There are a couple of gaps, because some speakers didn’t want to be recorded because they are protecting their families! What a world we live in…  

It was incredible. There were so many people there with loved ones in prison, or awaiting trials.. just ghastly. Lots of tears over the moving personal stories. But also heaps of lawyers, police officers, mediators, social workers, all sorts of professionals who know what is going on and are concerned about it.

We are really thrilled, given that it is getting big numbers online with international audiences. Love you to publicise it for us.

Cheers, Tina”

An excellent piece in today’s Times (£) by AN Wilson.

Regular visitors to this website will need no reminding of how influential the British / Nigerian vlogger Rowland ‘Row’ Adelagun – ‘ManWomanMyth’ – was prior to his suicide attempt in 2015, which resulted in grave injuries, including brain injury. We believe we have the largest collection of his ground-breaking videos in the world – 129 of them – here. The influence these videos had on raising public awareness about gender issues, feminism etc. before 2015 – and since – has been incalculable.

Row has been living in sheltered accommodation since 2015. He’s regularly visited by an MRA, Andy Johnston, without doubt the person who’s done the most to support Row over recent years. Andy has gone to the considerable trouble of downloading all 129 videos (mp4 format), and has just made them accessible to anyone who would like to download them – here. The more people that have copies, the less likely it is that our enemies will make them unavailable.
