Eric Clopper Was Banned From Presenting At Intact 2022
Interesting. Eric Clopper’s lengthy documentary is well worth catching (link below). The start of the piece:

Eric Clopper, a well-known intactivist and former Harvard lecturer, was banned from speaking at Intact 2022, Intact America’s genital autonomy conference. Sources close to the organizers say that Clopper’s presentation on his performance of Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story was rejected due to pressure from Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon, a founding member of the Jewish organization Bruchim who has participated in multiple hit pieces on Clopper. Ungar-Sargon has attacked Clopper’s work repeatedly, including a major documentary by The Guardian in which he called the leadership of the intactivist movement “alt right.” Clopper responded by suggesting that Ungar-Sargon has lied about the intactivist movement because of his greater loyalty to Jewish interests. Ungar-Sargon was allowed to speak at Intact 2022, despite multiple hit pieces where he calls the intactivist movement “antisemitic” and “alt right.” Members of his organization Bruchim made up the largest group present at the conference. {J4MB emphasis]Our YouTube playlist on MGM (112 videos) is here.

Laura Bates RIP
Sad news. It’s not her. The two things aren’t connected, simply statements of fact.

Mae Muller’s sarcastic track about taking revenge on an ex-boyfriend bombs in Eurovision.
A piece on the BBC website.
Mae Muller (25) was the UK’s entrant for last night’s Eurovision Song Contest, an event I can never understand being watched by music lovers. She ended the night in 25th place out of 26. Her song was titled I Wrote a Song, an extract from the related Wiki page:

Despite the title, Muller in fact co-wrote “I Wrote a Song” in January 2023 with songwriters Karen Poole and Lewis Thompson, [J4MB: on the BBC today, it’s normal for the woman to get first billing] who all co-produced the track, with production from Alfred Parx (L Devine) and Lewis Thompson. It lyrically addresses channeling your anger and taking revenge on a cheating ex. The song runs for a total of 2 minutes and 45 seconds and explores themes of self-worth, heartbreak, and empowerment.Why did the song bomb? It’s a mystery, all right!!! Let’s do the old gender switcheroo, shall we? Let’s say the singer was a 25-year-old man, and the BBC piece included this about the song:
It lyrically addresses channeling your anger and taking revenge on a cheating ex. The song runs for a total of 2 minutes and 45 seconds and explores themes of self-worth, heartbreak, and empowerment.Hmm, I can see that going down a storm at the Eurovision. But of course the man and the song would never get to Eurovision. We note the lie implicit in the title, I Wrote a Song. It would more accurately be titled We Wrote a Song, given the credited co-writers Lewis Thompson (a person of the male persuasion) and Karen Poole. How much did Mae Muller contribute? My guess is not much, and as usual we’re seeing the conditioned pandering to female narcissism, something about which I’ll have more to say in due course, maybe at ICMI24 in Budapest.
