Today’s video is here (12:33).

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 WASPI Whiners’ Facebook page is here. Their latest piece links to a BBC piece titled, “Ministers reject Waspi calls for comepnsation after rethink”. If you look under the photo of a Waspi Whiner you’ll see that “Andrew Johnston and 274 others” have upvoted the piece, i.e. they regard the story as good news. He posted the following comments, among others:

“Finally, the mardy-arsed WASPI women have had justice served to them. Such is your selfishness and pure entitlement, you actually thought you were going to get something. And I myself thought the gynocentric system was going to give it. 

As women, with your naturally longer lifespans, did you ever raise the issue in the past that women on average received 22 years of state pension, compared to 12 years for men? Did you ever raise the issue of ‘State Pension Inequality’ when you were the beneficiaries of it ? 

As for your argument about not having enough notice, that is pure rationalisation and purely subjective. If something is wrong, it needs to be put right as quickly as possible. So, show some humility, move on and grow up !”

As you can see, WASPI have responded to Andy’s comments by limiting who can make further comments on the piece. A small victory, but a satisfying one. Andy, well done!!!

Our thanks to Graham for this. The end of the piece on the website of Redmans, the law firm acting on behalf of Mr Snell:

“Chris Hadrill, a specialist employment solicitor at Redmans, commented on the case: “This is the first recorded case of discrimination based upon a shared parental leave policy. Employers should check their policies regularly to ensure that they are in compliance with legal and regulatory standards, as well as to ensure that they are not discriminatory in any respect.” “

Graham writes:

“Hi Mike, I found the article interesting.

I’ve linked to Snell v Network Rail, in which an employer was found to have discriminated against a man in relation to paternity pay. On its face, the outcome is uncontroversial: sex is a protected characteristic, and men should be entitled to equal pay and equal treatment where the law provides for it.

However it does appear that Employment Tribunals are less focused on enforcing equality between the sexes, and more concerned with advancing a broader policy agenda framed around improving women’s outcomes, even where that results in less favourable treatment for men.

In that context, I wonder whether this case was able to succeed precisely because equal paternity pay is not ultimately intended to achieve equality for men, but rather to facilitate women’s career and pay progression by encouraging men to take on greater caring responsibilities.

Where a claim by a man aligns with that broader objective, it appears capable of being upheld; where it does not, I wonder whether the same principles of equality, under the EqA 2010 would be applied.

It raises the question as to whether tribunals are acting as neutral arbiters of equality under the law, or whether their approach has shifted to a form of outcome driven positive discrimination.

Regards,
Graham”
