The last month or so has been significant in at least raising a myriad of issues that:
- discriminate against men and boys,
- the hypocrisy of those feminists who claim to be about equality but actually do not want equality if it means equality for men and boys - they want supremacy and special treatment, plus,
- the mainstream media either covering these issues and/or letting commentators write about them.
On the latter, many people have been banging on the door but all of a sudden they have been let in - almost as though some editors are starting to see it?
As well as those articles and issues mentioned here, below are a few more from the past week:
Daily Mail - Women need to get angry with rape liars (Peter Lloyd) A clear consequence of unequal justice and an issue first covered here.
Daily Mail - Why it sexist to say part-time female doctors are a problem (Melanie Phillips) and the desperate atempt to backtrack
BBC - A million children growing up without a father - and Emlyn Jones on about 7:10. This report marks a victory for CAFCSS, anti-male feminists, judges et al. So boys do not have fathers and there are no male teachers - so who in government is going to do anything - er...nothing...Minister for Equalities anyone?
BBC Three Counties - Mike Buchanan Discussion
The Independent - TOWIE attacked by domestic abuse charity (Daisy Wright)
News Statesman - Memo to Jo Swinson (Glen Poole)
Good Men Project - Can a man be a feminist? (Glen Poole)

Interesting entry. One of the most surprising things is Huff-Post employing Claire-Louise Meadows to write from an MRA perspective. You would expect to have anti-feminist pieces here and there in the DM but only a few years back Huff-Po was as bad as the left-leaning papers based here in the UK. Financial pressure or a crisis of conscience?

It is a nonsense that the health minister can't make an obvious point without being shouted down by agenda-driven bigots. If everyone in the health service goes part-time it increases costs. It's not rocket science!

The Huff-po is a socialist vehicle, the daily mail is an agent provocative. Nothing less.
Anyone who employs a woman to write from an MRA perspective..is a player of the game not to be trusted. The ONLY thing that can speak from an MRA standpoint is a MAN.

See how this story is repeating in the mainstream..how many FEMALE teachers have had sex with young boys...but that's okay, they jus6t made a mistake, they don't even go to trial.

Am I alone in noticing that when BarryB starts ranting, other people stop making comments? It's about time he started his own blog - it would cost nothing to set up, and take five minutes - and stopped dumping on TROM.

Am I alone that every time Mike sucks of skimington he censors posts for him.
The sign of a lying dishonest c*nt.

I don't think anyone can expect main media to turn into a vehicle for men's rights. Almost by definition, main media is about bringing in a profit and has to sell to a profitable audience.
What has happened, I think and hope, is that men's issues have started to get some traction. In the UK, we now have a few politicians who are speaking out directly for men, and even directly against feminism. My own MP reported that he is now getting 'several' contacts on men's issues whereas a decade ago I was the only one he'd ever hear from.
As people in general become more aware of men's issues, so the main media has to cater to that audience if it is to remain profitable.
The recent tightening of journalistic standards has done no harm, either, since journalists are becoming wary of accepting feminist press-releases at face value and are doing the investigation into the claims made: and therefore often not repeating the lies.
