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.

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).
