MAJOR UPDATES ON TOM MARTIN

It's been a busy week or two in the news for men's equality issues. Mr Martin has been debating at University College London, had coverage in The New Statesman and even got to appear on Women's Hour on Radio 4! He performed especially well on Radio 4, you can listen to the discussion on sexismbusters.org. It was great to see Tom making use of thsi blog's research into the activities at the NUS and let a wider audience know of their sexist policies.

The bad news is that the case against LSE was heard on Tuesday and rejected by the judge. I'm not aware of the judge's reasoning at present and all is not lost as he has the chance to appeal, but I find it a baffling decision given the weight of the evidence against the LS, not to mention the fact that Mr Martin studied there beofre Labour's sexist "Equality" laws were introduced.

The publicity Tom has received and the resulting debates are a already a victory in themselves but it's a shame he's missed out on the bigger prize for now.

For me, the most interesting and revealing outcome of the above has been the reaction by feminists to the debates. Some of the treatment men's equality campaigners have been subject too is nothing short of outrageous. Regrettably I was unable to attend the debate, but there was much discussion on Twitter with one of the first comments coming from a feminist suggesting that Mr Martin and his friends looked "a bit rapey". I've seen gender feminists stoop to pretty low levels numerous times, but making false rape smears to silence dissent surely down there with the lowest of the low? I suppose it was quite a pertinent statement given that Tom went on to discuss the issue of false rape allegations and actually proves a point about the problem of our culture tolerating the most horrific smears against men. Then, of course, there's the incredible double-standard of feminists judging people on their appearances too!

A further feminist tweeter by the name of Sarah Lesniewski later went further, likening Martin to the perpetrator of one of the worst massacres in Canadian history and questioning his mental state. So in summary, dare to quesiton the more sexist aspects of feminism then you're basically a mass murdering, mentally deragned idiot and probably a rapist too. It goes without saying than none of these critics actually addressed the issues at hand and if people have to resort to such staggering personal attacks then it suggest we're the ones"winning the arguments". Voters in Walthamstow may also be interested to see which side of the debate their sexist MP chose to support. If LSE gender studies department is 1% as hostile, sexist and narrow minded as the gender feminists on Twitter then there most certainly be any doubt as to the outcome of the appeal.

I look forward to the upcoming documentary by Mr Martin covering his experiences over the last few months, though he has a lot to live up to given the quality of his previous efforts.

"looked "a bit rapey".

" A further feminist tweeter by the name of Sarah Lesniewski later went further, likening Martin to the perpetrator of one of the worst massacres in Canadian history and questioning his mental state"

The usual types of language from the twisted Feminists then, doesn't it really show us how sick and twisted they really are?

Tom Martin is doing what every man in the country needs to start doing.

Enough of this Feminist poison already!!

Enough with the epidemic of False allegations.

Enough with Fatherless children because of agenda.

Enough of women only short-lists, that prove they have no merit anyway.

Enough of dumbing down occupations to accommodate unmerited women like Police/Fire/Military etc.

Enough with the "women can do no wrong" stupidity of the Family court system

Enough of the incredible disparity in sentencing for crime, where women on average get no prison or less than a third compared to men for the same crimes.

...the list is endless....

Enough , oh just ENOUGH!

I am shocked. Shocked! that Tom's case has been rejected. But do you know what? I think this will make Tom even more determined to win this fight. Quite often, cases are taken to a higher court where they are overruled. I honestly believe that Tom has enough evidence to do this, especially now that the publicity is growing. I heard the interview on Radio 4 and, well, what can I say but what an absolute gem Tom is! I loved the way he dealt with the question near the end regarding what masculinity meant to him. I mean, what kind of a dumb-ass, meaningless, purposefully-diverting question was that! His quick put-down was a classic where he said something like “ it means nothing….anyway, I’d rather talk about equality for men….”. And only being allowed 2 items from his list!!! The only advice I’d give Tom, if he gets a chance again to talk publically, is to reel off a nice long list of irrefutable inequalities that men suffer in comparison with women, regardless of the interviewers agenda!

It is dissapointing about the case. However not surprising considering the "david and Goliath" nature of the contest. As a contributor to Tom,s funds I consider it money well spent as Tom's case has both brought the issues out into a more public domian and revealed him to be a consumate debater. I shall contribute further and urge others to do so. The feminists resist public debate (as aopposed to one sided advertising of their views) precisely because they know full well they have little public support and many of their stsances bear little scrutiny. I have to say this week also saw more in the media about women in board rooms. I have to say this is rapidly turning into a feminist "own goal" as more commentator observe that it is about very privileged women (upper middle class well educated and "well married/partnered") seeking more priviledged. I hope the Fawcett continues to spearhead this as a demonstration of its irrelevance to the vast majority of women. Public debate and facts will pucture an ideology protected by the hidden world of women's or gender studies in our univerities. It is a long game and Tom and other heroes will need support as they battle this well dug in beast.

I was really surprised it was rejected by the judge?

[CyclotronMajesty]

It doesn't make sense that a judicial hearing can be denied by the society. There must be a way to force a hearing. If this judge does not allow a hearing on the matter, I suggest rallying MRAs from around the world to fly to the UK and do a silent protest until the hearing is allowed. Or something of the like...

Whatever happens we are not to give up on this.
Even if it takes a million years.

Yes, the Walthamstow MP, Stella Creasy, is just another bog-standard false rape queen, claiming false rape allegation rate no higher than false allegation rate of other crimes:

Shame.

"The publicity Tom has received and the resulting debates are a already a victory."....very true. Tom, you're a hero mate and an inspiration to those MRAs ready to be the next wave.
