Been away so sorry for the lack of posts, anyhow, here are a few issues that have come up lately which should be shared:
General
Men's Hour - BBC Radio 5
Men's Matters - Express FM (scroll down)
Daily Telegraph - Feminism, forget it, sisters (by Neil Lydon)
The Spectator - The death of the male working class (by Fraser Nelson)
Domestic Abuse
Northern Echo - Women jailed for stab attack on ex-boyfriend
Dorset Echo - Weymouth councillor on assault charge (oh the irony)
Irish Times - Hypocrisy over ability to be hypocrites (by Padriag O'Moran)
Medical News Today - Counsellors struggle to treat male victims
The Herald - Male abuse victims face extra barriers
Scotsman - Male victim tells of decade of abuse
Scotsman - Council accused of ignoring male victims
False accusations
Daily Telegraph - Britons trapped in false rape sting
Daily Record - Boxer's son released
BBC Dorset - Warning after Bournemouth woman jailed
Scotsman - Father wrongly accused in flawed abuse inquiry
BBC Norfolk - False rape mother is jailed
If Caroline Flint & Co say there isn't a problem, why is it that every week a woman is jailed for making false accusations!
Employment
Daily Mail - Work experience at Foreign Office: Not if you're a white middle class male
Daily Telegraph - Debt 'Men are new underclass'
Mixed-sex wards and health
Daily Telegraph - Government announced the end of mixed sex wards
An issue raised some timeago as the last Government promised it way back in 1997!
Pfizer - Man MOT
This is a brilliant initiative by Pfizer
Education
European Union - Study into gender inequality in education
Why is the EU having to do this when the UK Government should have done it years ago, but even Gove, the new Education Minister is not bothering.
Politics
BBC - Harman wants half of Shadow Cabinet to be women
Here is one from the Leicester Mercury:http://tinyurl.com/39pc5n9.
Here we see a feminist organisation that recruits only female staff, recruits only female management and provides only concrete help to females. Women's Aid seem to be vying for the little cash that this government is belatedly directing to men's issues.
What good is a phone line staffed by women steeped in the tradition of women being victims and males being perpetrators?
If they were really serious then the name would be changed to Domestic Abuse Aid with 25% of management, 25% of staff and 25% of hostel accommodation being male.
