The Rights Of Man

SCOTTISH WOMAN AVOIDS JAIL BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN

Yes, that's right. It got sent to me over the weekend and thought it had to be shared. Sheriff Malcolm Garden did not send Marie Sim to prison because she is a woman but would have done if he was a man!

NOW FATHERS4JUSTICE ARE CENSORED AND DEFAMED BY O2 AND SYMANTEC

Well it took a while, but I can now reveal for the first time that O2 and Symantec are blocking an official UK Fathers4Justice website. Previously, Symantec/O2 have only smeared the Fathers4Justice Quebec branch as "hate" and have allowed members in other countries campaign freely to have a relationship with their own children.

While the main Fathers4Justice domain isn't blocked at present, a newer campaign site, Contactdeniers.com is categorised as "hate" and thus cannot be accessed by up to 100 million people worldwide. The site in question "is for the naming and shaming of contact deniers - parents, solicitors, judges, Cafcass officers, MP’s and any other parties involved in contact denial and the forcible separation of children from their fathers." It's relatively new so far from complete, perhaps readers of this blog can help out by adding an entry or two?

Fathers4Justice certainly aren't above criticism, they do occasionally engage in very minor acts of law breaking and these type of sites may also run into legal troubles if false information is added. However, none of this is the business of any ISP and it most certainly doesn't constitute hate. The tactics of Father4Justice are very tame compared to countless other activist groups campaigning on different issues, and it's telling that even an openly violent and transphobic radical feminist environmental group such as Deep Green Resistance gets classed as "politics" and is therefore freely accessible to all.

There are wider issues to consider here too, Father4Justice use the motto of "The Campaign against the Fatherless Society", and their Name and Shame campaign has the motto that "contact denial is child abuse". If O2 and Symantec block such sites, then are they in favour of the move towards a fatherless society? If they seek to protect contact deniers and even believe exposing such conduct to be "hate" then presumably they support these violations of the human rights of men and children? Rather than blocking these men's human rights organisations, it is surely the duty of ISPs to enable young adults to learn about and access websites of organisations who stand up for their rights. One of the more vocal and successful Fathers4Justice campaigners of late is under 18 herself!

In a way I actually welcome this move by these companies. Poking one of the bigger beasts of the men's rights movements with a stick in this way really can't be expected to end well for O2/Symantec. As in all other cases I'll be emailing F4J to let them know all about this and I don't expect they'll be best pleased and if anyone who has contacts at Father4Justice could do the same then it would really be appreciated Perhaps some O2 and Symantec executives will be even find themselves added to the name and shame list…

BBC FOUND GUILTY OF SEXISM AGAINST MEN OVER RUSSELL JOSLIN CASE - NOONE DARE SAY IT

Let's make it clear - there was a big element of 'sexism' against women that allowed Saville and Hall to do what they did and everyone turn a blind eye.

But the pendulum has swung the other way at the BBC due to political correctness, the modern-day feminist view that women are more equal than men and therefore should be ignored, and the blindness that says that only men can be guilty of sexual harassment.

How can anyone describe anything different about the sad story of Russell Joslin (BBC).

Here was a man who was sexually harassed by a female radio presenter - he complained - and the BBC did nothing (See Daily Mail report). Sexism, simply because if the genders were reversed, Joslin would have been suspended and sacked. But because he was a man, he was ignored. The full report is here.

What also is scandalous is that the coroner (a woman - Louise Hunt) says the women cannot be named (named allegedly by the Daily Mail). Again, as soon as an allegation is made against a man, they are on the front page of every newspaper , but not here. Again, apply the Lyndon Concept ( The Lyndon Concept, named after the concept Neil Lyndon first set out where genders are reversed) and the man would be named.

Lastly, in none of the coverage does anyone actually state that if the genders were reversed, it would have been dealt with differently - is everyone to scared to admit that men face discrimination and that BBC acted in a sexist way. All very Orwellian.

ORWELLIAN GUARDIAN REPORTER KATIE ALLEN AND HER ANTI-MALE LIES

Regular reader 'Groan' pointed this article out that I had missed and the comments clearly show that even the Guardian's readers (see comments section) had spotted the man hatred in Katie Allen's piece that was pure Orwellian.

To sum it up:

The female headcount in local government has plunged by 253,600 to 1.43 million since the coalition came to power in 2010 (15%)

The number of men in local government jobs is down less than half that figure, by 104,700 to 452,300 (19%).

But Katie said women were worst affected.

Plus of course it shows that three in every four people in local government are women - no bias there then.

Just like all the other lies about the recession that have been proved to be wrong about women suffering the most in the recession (here,  here,  here and here).

NEW FIGURES REVEAL 98% OF PEOPLE WHO DIE AT WORK ARE MALE - WHY DOES NO ONE HEAR THAT?

New figures were issued today by the Health and Safety Executive that there were 148 fatalities at work in 2012/13, a welcome fall since 233 died in 2007/08, and the figures have continually fallen.

After interrogating the list of names and removing the members of the public (who shouldn't be in the list - obviously the beancounters at the HSE cannot sort their tables out) you are left with a list of 128, and only two (Zydre and Linda) are women. That's right folks, of the 128 people listed who died at work in 2012/13, 126 of the 128 were men.

There a number of wide ranging issues exposing the sexism and bias that men face daily in Britain.

As discussed before, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of victims were men, the Health and Safety Executive chose not to highlight that in their statistics or press release. They do not even acknowledge it anywhere at all. If the figures were the other way round, they would. So why do they choose do that? Is it because they don't think men matter?  Where is their equality impact assessment?Where is their diversity manager talking about it in the media? They chose not to so a clear case of discrimination by omission and institutional sexism.

Secondly, again there is silence from the political elite on the matter. Not just on the subject itself but also the number of men dying. Nothing from the Equalities Commission and nothing from the laughably named government equalities department.

Thirdly, and mentioned earlier this week, this is why there is a gender gap because of the danger premium associated with some of the work that men undertake. Labour, TUC, Fawcett etc want equal pay but where are their campaigns encouraging women to undertake this type of work?

Plus where are the prosecutions, the campaigns aimed at employers?

It shows that men who die at work are not of interest to those claim to believe in equality because they do not fit the 'only women matter' world of equality and diversity we live in - while men are dying at work. Collateral damage and the second sex.

NOW EVEN BBC IPLAYER IS BIASED AGAINST MEN!

Now I don't want to be accused of being the equivalent of a feminist McCarthyite...however, I was just catching up on Men's Hour and I have noticed a difference.

BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour is available via iPlayer for one year.

BBC Radio 5's Men's Hour is available via iPlayer for seven days.

Plus of course Women's Hour is six days per week all the time, whilst Men's Hour is once a week but not all the time. Though at least there is a Men's Hour when until about three years ago there was no such thing.

Anyhow, so here we have it, anyone wanting to listen to Women's Hour can do so for a year but you have to rush to hear Men's Hour.

The reason for mentioning McCarthyism is because there is always the risk of becoming over-paranoid like so many of today's modern-day feminists who see discrimination lurking in every shadow.

However, this is clearly a case of that unthinking day to day discrimination and misandry that men face.

Why does the BBC think Women's Hour should be one year but Men's Hour is only worthy of 1/52nd of the time. Covert unthinking discrimination against men that's why.

Time to complain to the BBC Trust.

PS At least with Women's Hour we can hear for a whole year the desperate voices of an 'academic' and Refuge trying to drown out male victims of domestic abuse

FIRE DEATHS SHOW WHY THERE IS A GENDER PAY GAP NOT THE LIES ABOUT DISCRIMINATION

When the latest campaign about the gender pay gap comes out with the lie that women get paid 9.6% less (the Fawcett Society say it's a lot more) than men 'for the same job', it is worth pointing to a number of stories this week.

There were 19 firefighters in America  (all men) who lost their lives and ten firefighters injured in Birmingham (no genders yet but bound to nearly if not all men). 

That is why men get paid more than women. They do not do the same jobs (one of the most Orwellian thought crime myths ever), their is a danger premium for men doing this type of work - an issue that anti-male feminists at the Fawcett Society, Guardian, TUC and others cannot deal with because it does not play to their anti-male rhetoric. They think that men getting paid more is because they are evil people.

Perhaps after all it is time of a National Equal Death at Work Day to highlight it.

Last point, if some of these firefighters were women, you can get your bottom dollar, the media would have said 19 firefighters/10 firefighters including xx women. Why, if it is about equality, make the special case?
