The London Evening Standard reported that the resolutely anti-male Equalities and Human Rights Commission is going to see its budget cut from £60 million down to £22.5 million and its 460 staff halved.
As reported previously with the scrapping of the Women's National Commission, this is good news.
The Equalities Commission which supposedly is there as a government quango to ensure there is equality between men and woman (and other groups) is completely and utterly anti-male. They constantly campaign on the mythical gender pay gap, want discrimination against men to ensure there are more women in politics (abig supporters of gender quotas / all women-shortlists) as well as ensuring there is no support for men in terms of education, domestic abuse, pensions, health and unemployment.
They never run campaigns or information about discrimination against men but they are sign up to every campiagn going if it attacks men. They are proud of it!
The cuts are important because it should mean it is less pro-women and anti male because it employs less anti-male people and cannot run as many campaigns. In a rational political era, one that is not infested with anti-male feminists, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission could have been a vehicle of change for men. Unfortunately those who run it and mainly those who work for it, dislike men intensely. We are better off without it.

One can only hope that this is the start of a roll-back of the petty and intrusive tyranny that we have been subjected to. Better the Commission and all the similar laws and practices get chopped entirely.
