LUNATIC TROLLS OPEN THE DOOR FOR MORE MEN BASHING AND MISANDRY

Today was depressing with one of the dominant stories today was 'all men are rapists' men-bashing narrative because some stupid dangerous male lunatics think it is OK to go onto Twitter and say they want to 'rape' feminists and female MP's.

It hands the ammunition to those modern-day men-hating feminists who want to paint all men as potential rapists and Neanderthals as part of the patriachal conspiracy. It just adds momentum after the banknote 'success', the golf club conspiracy and today's news on employment tribunals (more tomorrow on this).

We are back to the "when did you last beat your wife' territory - now it's "when did your last tweet you wanted to rape an MP" 

Of course, it is painted as a women against the patriarchy when it comes to trolling, but we know from this site that men can be victims of trolls and also, that women will troll other women on Facebook etc. And just remember that the Luluvise site is one big troll fest against men.

So it meant a great story such as the clear up rate for testicular cancer or the lack of men taking paternity leave  - thereby showing paradoxically how committed men are to the family unit as they will sacrifice paternity leave to protect their family's income (you won't hear the anti-male feminists talking about how men support their wives/partners/daughters).

So a few lunatics men mean pro-male stories are relegated and men again are lumped together by those who want to paint us all as bastards. Those trolls have damaged the women they trolled but also men campaigning for equality.

CAMERON'S 2013 RESHUFFLE WILL BE THE MOST SEXIST ON RECORD

In the next few weeks there is likely to be a Ministerial Reshuffle (Conservative Home believe it won't be at cabinet level) and Cameron will start to deliver on his promise to have a third of all ministers, including those at a Cabinet level, as women. Women, will be the winners, not talent.

This is in keeping with the European trend of quotas (formal/legal or informal/public declarations) including in France and Spain. Currently, there are 48 (165) MP's out of 304 MP's in total.

The issue has been talked about for weeks in the media and the issues are three fold.

Firstly, just like the issue on boardroom quota's - meritocracy is the biggest loser which goes against the whole principle of 'the best person for the job' - irrelevant of gender.

• Some talented men will be denied a position a Minister solely because they are a man (this was the same as revealed in this report about the Conservative Party's gender quota A-list).
• Some women will remain as ministers or in the cabinet (as revealed by Daily Mirror) even if they are not good enough because to lose female ministers means Cameron will fear a backlash (and he will get one as he did last year).  
• Some women will be promoted into being a Minister when they are not good enough. 

Any decision based on a quota or gender target is sexist - if a talented man does not get into the cabinet or becomes a Minister because he has to be overlooked to ensure enough women are in place, then he is a victim of sexism. And like so many supine politicians, he will sit there and be quiet. 

Why would be Conservative men moan about gender quotas when they say nothing about boardroom quotas or men and boys issues in general.

Further to all of this, if there are not enough women being promoted then modern-day radical feminists will be whining and shouting all over the airwaves with their hatred for men and disdain for equality and meritocracy.

Will anyone in the media have the balls to confront them and ask them why politicians should not be chosen on merit, whether they agree that an inferior women should be promoted over a better man and whether they can actually pinpoint any examples of a talented women who is not a Minister and an untalented man who is. Don't them talk about numbers, they must talk about individuals - as that is the important point.

Lastly, the British public as part of the democratic process should be governed by the best people for the job. If that meant all women - so be it - but they want the best people, that is what they vote for. Why should the people that govern us be chosen because of the gender not their ability? We need the best people that is what we vote for.

This summer's reshuffle will be the most sexist on record. The most sexist against men.

PS Conservative women wnat special treatment because like most politicians they are only in it for themselves.

GOLF CLUB EQUALITY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FAILURE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM TOWARDS BOYS

On Monday, UCAS published its figures on university admissions and the main story was that white teenagers (especially boys) were less likely to go to university than black teenagers especially boys.

Buried away was the fact that "Gender remains one of the biggest factors in application rates, with females remaining substantially more likely to apply. In 2012 in England, 49% (40% in 2007) of women
applied compared with 38% (31% in 2006) of men." 

Roughly for every seven applications, four are from girls and three are for boys - an actual gap in 2012 of 29%. 

This is an issue this site keep turning to (here and here) and still the silence from politicians, the government equalities office, department for education etc is deafening. Not a word from the Minister for Equalities - she thinks men-only golf clubs are more of an equalities issue.

It is why there are now more and more women earning more than men in their household, or when they are in their 20's and why more men are unemployed than women.

Reverse the genders (The Lyndon Concept) and there would be hell to pay - more attention is on the number of women in the boardroom or the cabinet or golf clubs.

 If ever there was a need for a responsible men's equality organisation this is the reason.

THANK GOD IT'S A BOY

I am not normally bothered about such things but boy did I smile and thank the
heavens when it was announced that Kate and William's child was a boy.

In a normal and equal society, where the elites respected men and women as equals it should not be an issue. But if the baby was a girl than the gender supremacists (Fawcett Society etc) who masquerade as being in favour of equality would have been crowing for every single year that the daughter was not the queen. They'd want Charles and then William to be passed over or to
stand down quickly etc.

Plus they would use it as leverage and a pawn for another round of man bashing - decrying the Act of Succession (only a male can be heir to the throne unless the only heir is a women like the Queen) and demanding it be changed. I'd see no problem with it, but it’s the fact it would be used to demonise the men of today who had nothing to do with the Act or the tradition behind it when it was drawn up.

Happy for the Act of Succession to be revoked but no word on this being revoked. Fair's fair.

Thanks God the baby is a boy - away from the clutches of the misandrists, gender supremacists and anti-male modern day feminists.

STINKING HYPOCRISY OVER MUIRFIELD AND THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

It was very tiring and very frustrating listening and watching the coverage on Muirfield and seeing the
hideous Maria Miller bandwagon jumping of every politician under the sun (except for Mike Buchanan and Nigel Farage) over the men-only rules. Cameron, Lansley, Robertson, Clegg, Salmond and Harman to name but a few (even Judy Murray waded in - does she disprove of this then)

Not one dared mention women-only golf clubs, gyms, swimming lessons, Women's Institute, sexist Race for Life. The media who are so facile did not challenge Miller or any politician on this.

If men-only golf clubs are banned and must open their doors up, then all of the above will as the law will have to be applied equally. A real victory for the law of unintended consequences (just like equality in terms of car insurance).

I do have a sneaky feeling though that a number of those bandwagon jumpers realised this and have no intention of changing the law - they just saw it as an excuse to slag off men.

So that's Ok - end men only clubs but let's wait to hear the squeals when women-only clubs suffer the same fate. And half of the single-sex golf clubs in the UK are women-only.

PS Janice Atkinson in the Express is very sound

 

MORE MAINSTREAMING OF INEQUALITY OF MEN AND BOYS

Last month this site mentioned that discrimination and inequality against men and boys was becoming mainstream.

Fraser Nelson, the political commentator and editor of the Spectator chimes in with an article in the Telegraph and Spectator. Ally Fogg does not believe Conservatism is the answer and he may well be right but sure as damn it, it was the Labour Party that became the most men-hating political party this country has ever seen!

The Sutton Trust ran research (Guardian and BBC) that reemphasises the problem in education which showed the gap between rich and poor boys in the UK is one of the worst in the developed world. Why is Michael Gove silent? Heard anythimg from the Minister for Equalities?

MEN'S HOUR - THE HEARTBREAK OF FATHERS UNABLE TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN

When I put the blogroll list on the left, some questioned why Men's Hour was on there. Well Sunday night's show highlights why.

About one third of the way through we heard first hand experiences from two fathers about the bias in the system that prevents fathers from seeing their children due to the ruthlessness and men hatred of their female ex-partners.

PS The latest Men's Matters in now available

PS PS - In case anyone has not seen Aimee Nicholl's video

GETTING WOMEN INTO BOARDROOMS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MEN DYING AT WORK

Two weeks the site revealed that 24 out of every 25 people who die at work were men - and that this was unrecognised by politicians, the government, the health service, department for work, the equalities industry or the media.

The latter groups think men losing their lives at work is not as important as the number of women in boardrooms, promoting women-only training/management courses or the perpetuating the gender pay gap myth. And keeping female criminals out of prison.

Sadly, we saw this weekend that one firemen died in Manchester as did two men training to be members of the SAS.

Tonight, BBC Panorama (http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23259865) are revealing that 50 soldiers (active and veteran) killed themselves last year as opposed to 44 killed in active service.

So what is the Ministry of Justice's response - some mealy mouthed excuse that they put a mere £7 million in per year on mental health services.

Does the government's Minister for Defence say anything - nope.

Does the Minister for Health say anything - nope.

Equalities and Human Rights Commission, Government Equalities Dept etc - nope.

Of course, reverse the gender and there would be hell to pay.

The silence on men in the armed forces committing suicide is a symptom of the wider issue about men's mental health and the lack of support or recognition of the male suicide rate generally.

It also shows that the political, public sector, equalities and media elite view men as the disposable sex. Men dying at work is not an issue of relevance as they are only concerned with inequalities if it affects women.

This will also worsen as young men who are not as educated or qualified as women will be forced into risk related industries to earn decent money.

The conclusion is that in modern-day Britain, the establishment are more concerned about the number of women in Britain's boardrooms than the number of men dying at work. Men - the disposable sex.

KARREN BRADY - GENDER SUPREMACIST

I just caught the Apprentice at the weekend - the last three were women - great no problem they were better than the men. But the best people for the job is not what counts nowadays, it is your gender and you can tell thta's what Sugar's sidekick Karren Brady thinks.

Scroll to 57:32 and here her say "I cannot tell you how pleased I am that your new business partner is going to be  a woman" . If it was about equality, the gender of the finalists would be irrelevant.

WILL HYPOCRITE MARIA MILLER MP, MINISTER FOR EQUALITIES, BAN WOMEN-ONLY CLUBS, SWIMMING AND RACE FOR LIFE?

Maria Miller MP, the Minister for Equalities (as long as you are not a man), will not be turning up to the British Open Muirfield where the Open will be held is a men-only Members Club. She signalled her intent earlier on.

She has been in the papers again about it after he opening salvo a little while ago, backed by Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond (and here). According to the Express there are more women-only clubs than men's as one proves.

Obviously, over the past three months this has stirred up a hornets nest of hypocrisy. The Guardian leads the way as you would expect (Ewan Murray, Marina Hyde, Editorial, Kevin McKenna) along with The Independent (Kevin Garside).

The hypocrisy of these commentators, Salmond and MIller is that nowhere do they call for the ending of women-only golf clubs, gymnasiums, swimming lessons (will Miller publicly support Peter Lloyd and tell these to stop).

Will Miller and Co, tell Cancer Research that their sexist ban on Race for Life must end - sexism that occurs 230 times a year according to their website?

And what about the Girl Guides, the Women's Institute or any of these clubs?

The real issue here, in addition to the hypocrisy, is that it another excuse to demonise men. One minute its banknotes (despite the fact that every banknote has a women on it - The Queen), now its golf, then it'll be female presenters (oops done that) etc. It is the Feminist Mccarthyism that sees discrimination lurking everywhere - except when it happens to men.
