Lots been going on this week, so to keep up here are a few of the articles of relevance:
The Sun - Tories worse than Labour on U-Turns (Tom Newton-Dunne) Recognition of the infamous rape anonymity u-turn as this u-turn seems to have been erased when others talk about u-turns. Well done The Sun.
The Independent - How does slut-walking advance feminism (Yasmin Alibhai-Brown) - she attacks slut walking but then makes wild accusations about men
Daily Telegraph - Chivalry is benevolent sexism (Andy Bloxham) - madness from the USA making feminism a laughing stock
Daily Telegraph - If chivalry is dead, blame it on the selfish feminists (Lucy Jones) - sensible women fight back
Daily Telegraph - Why I'll be keep opening the door for women (Stephen Bayley)
Daily Mail - Equalities Office where women earn more than men (Gerri Peev) - Great work from Dominic Raab MP showing the hypocrisy of the Government's Office where equality only counts if you are a woman (and in Telegraph).
Conservative Home - Andrew Bridgen MP has no case to answer - Another man having his name dragged through the papers when he is not guilty, no mention of the girl's name - perhaps Mr Bridgen may want to campaign against his government's u-turn?
Daily Mail - Forgiving husbands begs police not to charge wife he stabbed him
Northampton Chronicle - Brian Binley MP hits out at Nuffield Foundation
The Guardian - Don't turn the clock back on women (Rachel Reeves) - More anti-male, pro women special pleading
Daily Mail - Feminism is so passe, it's boy's who need help now (Sandra Parsons) - Brilliant from Sandra Parsons
Daily Mail - Female drunks at Take That concert (James Tozer) - What will the feminists think of this sign of empowerment?
BBC - Russell Crowe backs downs on circumcision - The anti-male (including many men) out in force to force the actor to backtrack
The Sun - Bulimia rise in boys (Emma Little) - Emma's first class research which was on the front page of the Sun shows the paper has its serious side on men's issues (it run a front page on male victims of doemstic abuse two years ago). The Daily Mail and Telegraph followed it up.

Good to see some focus on male eating disorders and superb stuff by Raab again, surely the best MP in Parliament by a mile?
Binley is also standing up for fathers which is good, I haven't really heard of him before.
Also quite promising that Russell Crowe has such strong pro equality views and was willing to express them. If only more people would speak out.

If you read the detail in relation to the Equalities Office you can see that they weren't' actually that sexist until Harman took over. No coincidence that the organsation basically stops hiring men as soon as she's in charge.
She was also interviewed in the Guardian this week and basically denied all knowledge of any controversy surrounding her "men cannot be trusted to run things on their own" bigotry.
