The Rights Of Man

NO EQUALITY IN BRITAIN'S JUSTICE SYSTEM

The Daily Mail reported this awful story today where Beverley Jones from Swansea committed a terrible act of domestic abuse against her husband and walked away with a two year community order instead of going to prison. 

Can you imagine the judge making the same decision of the genders were reversed - it would be two years in prison for the man else there would be a lynch mob led by Women's Aid, Refuge and Fawcett Society.

It shows that those that advocate (first article listed here and this one too) that women should not be in prison are seeing their 'argument' turned into a reality by the judiciary.

It is an unhappy coincidence that S4 Wales is running a documentary about male victims maybe the sexist judge should have seen this before passing judgement.

NEWS UPDATES

Thank you to everyone for their patience - here are a few from the past two weeks and thanks to those that have sent them through or added them in to the comments on the Citizen Khan story.

Daily Mail - The real price of feminism (Bianca London) Amazing misandry in the article by the journalist - this shows the cake and eat attitude of modern-day anti-male feminism. The journalist says you are not a true gentleman if you expect the woman to go Dutch.

The Independent - Take a bow, Sir Roger Moore (Ally Fogg)

Daily Telegraph - Domineering men face domestic violence proscutions (Martin Beckford) and Daily Mail - Stopping your wife having a bank account could be domestic abuse (James Chapman) More misandric headlines when the changes are clearly gender-neutral (although we know they may not be in practice) although any official involvement of the NSPCC in the Youth Panel means bias as boys as victims will be ignored as they are only seen by them as perpetrators.

Daily Mail - Forgiveness saved my life (Deborah Arthurs)

Daily Mail - Mother-of-four, 34, had sex with two schoolboys while her toddler slept in the  same (Larisa brown) No equality in justice as there is now way she should not be in jail.

Order Order - Disolve companies that do not meet gender quotas (Guido Fawkes)

BBC - Samaritans report that men born in their 60's and 70's at risk of suicide and Daily Mail - Why male suicide rates go up (Tamara Cohen) - The report is here.

Financial Times - Business leaders urge government to stand firm against boardroom quotas (Brian Groom)

Daily Telegraph - The BBC need more women (George Entwhistle) and then he tries to backtrack which we know is false -  his views are those that he stated first time. Watch this space.

Daily Telegraph - Thousands of boys are behind at reading (Graeme Paton)

Daily Telegraph - Father wins right to know who false accusers were (John Bingham)

CITIZEN KHAN IS NOT RACIST IT'S MAN-HATING MISANDRY

Whenever a show like Citizen Khan comes on the TV, the Guardian and various politically correct types get very twitchy - accusing the BBC and others of racism. The absurdity of it is that if the ethnicity of the character was changed, and it was just a white Christian man in a Christian family they wouldn't bat an eyelid - such is their hypocrisy. They also go into some ideologically torment because one of the writers is actually Asian so they cannot heap racism at them.

They had probably written their critical pieces before they had even seen it.

Some (good and bad) articles are here - Guardian, Independent, Telegraph and BBC

The bigger issue though is that it is another example of television (and the media in general) portraying men and fathers as idiots.

The main character is made to look like a buffoon but he is the one that came to the country (the show's words not mine), worked his backside off to create a business and a home for his wife and family - and he is portrayed as an idiot.

It is another example in the long line of characters that show men as idiots and used to undermine men and fathers. Where is the equivalent about a women and mother.

Citizen Khan is not racist it's men-hating.

CABINET RESHUFFLE MEANS LACK OF PROGRESS ON EQUALITY FOR MEN CONTINUES

So the new cabinet comes in and what changes for men?

 

Maria Miller is the Culture Secretary with responsibility for Women and Equalities. This role at Cabinet Level was previously Theresa May’s.

   

Helen Grant MP, replaces Lynne Featherstone at equalities minister to become joint Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at Ministry of Justice and for Women's and Equality issues. Helen Grant was one of Cameron’s A-listers which was specially designed to stop men from becoming MP’s. She has benefitted from sexism against men so no hope of equality from her.

 

On the Justice front, at least Ken Clarke recognised the need for reform on shared parenting and that even admitted that many mothers break contacts orders and get away with it. Chris Grayling his successor is a robust politician so we can hope he will drive things through on shared parenting and hopefully take a tougher stand on family courts.

 

Tim Loughton going as children's minister is a blow as he has been someone who has kept the flame alight on shared parenting. Let's hope his continues to do so on the backbenches.

 

In terms of health, I cannot see Jeremy Hunt being any more bothered about men's health than his predecessors. He seems the archetypical politician/corporate type who has no view on anything so it’s likely he just simply won't be interested.

 

Gove remain in place on education which means no reversal of the plans to do away with GCSE's and he at least wants rigour and discipline in schools which boys need.

 

The one additional issue is the continual pantomime about how many women and how many men are in the cabinet and have ministerial position. Of course, to anyone who believes in equality, the gender of those in government is irrelevant. But to those in the partisan/radical feminist camp like the Fawcett Society, BBC, Guardian and Equalities and Human Rights Commission - gender is more important than ability.

 

So the number of men and women in the new ministerial team will be picked apart and will do so I am sure over the next week. The Fawcett Society are on the case already.

 

Because of the political attention on the issue, it pressurises Cameron/Clegg (and Blair and Brown before them but that's their fault for encouraging it) to keep the numbers of women up. Cabinet is one thing and the number has been reduced to 4 from 5 but what about at the ministerial level. More will come out over the next few days.

 

We know there is someone into the Cabinet Office collating the information will be totting up the number of men and women. If the number of women are not high enough to satisfy the covert quota (the quota is at least the same as before with some upward ratchet – Cameron himself has declared hir goal to have women in one third of government postst by the end of this parliament) some women will be pushed up because they are women and some men pushed down or out all together because they are men. We know this is the likely answer. Even the Conservatives themselves see it.

 

It does not matter if Cameron/Clegg say there is no quota, there is one subliminally and the coming day or so will see what the shift is. We know The Guardian is watching with McCarthyite intent, and if the numbers are down overall it will be down to evil men not based on the available talent.

 

It is just like those in the 30 per cent club or Women on Boards who debated with Mike Buchanan on Radio 4 who say they do not want a quota. That is an untruth. Not only is the 30 per cent club named after a quota, whenever, there is not an increase of women in FTSE roles they scream blue murder, therefore an unofficially sublimely quota comes into existence.Covert pressure in terms of "if we don't put more women on the board, we'll be attacked for it, no matter whether or not we have suitable people or not."

 

Overall the cabinet reshuffle does nothing for men - many of us knew it would be the case so we'll carry on with our campaigning - its too important to stop.

POISONING YOUR HUSBAND IS FUNNY ACCORDING TO OLD JAMAICAN GINGER BEER

I've seen this advert play on Channel Four a number of times and find it more and more shocking after each occasion. It's 2012 yet somehow poisoning one's husband to death is not only seens as acceptable, but it's hilarious if it's becasue he cheated.

 

 

You can contact the Advertising Standards Authority here to ask why adverts condoning and mocking domestic violence are on tv.
