I already host a weekly meeting for the estimable people behind Regarding Men – “the three professors”, Paul Elam, Janice Fiamengo, Tom Golden – a 90-minute-long men-only Zoom video discussion at 2pm GMT/BST (as appropriate) on Sundays. The meetings are one of the highlights of my week, they’re always interesting and often great fun. Brits are usually in a small minority, interestingly. Today only 20% of the attendees (including myself) were Brits. Others included a man in California (6am) and Melbourne (2am). It’s a little-known fact that MRAs can survive on only three hours’ sleep a night.

I’m pleased to announce that the three professors have agreed to my suggestion of a second meeting at 5pm GMT/BST on Sundays, titled “The Humour Group”. The group is for creators and enjoyers of humorous material, regardless of the form it takes – video, audio, print, cartoons… – anything that can be considered amusing. For the avoidance of doubt, you don’t need to have created anything humorous to join us. I look forward to meeting you on Sundays at 5pm, it should be a gas.

Not a lot of people know this, but prime minister Boris Johnson and I have long been firm friends. We had some cross words over his recent ill-judged video about a gender-balanced House of Commons, but we got through even that. During a recent boozy dinner in 10, Downing Street, he explained he wanted to make an offer to the American people, which I’ve just committed to video, hopefully accurately, here (14:01).

The recent online sixth International Conference on Men’s Issues was a resounding success, with 130 speakers’ videos and interviews posted on the dedicated YouTube playlist of Justice for Men & Boys.

I’ve selected three videos to add to the YouTube comedy channel of this website, linking to them on Paul Elam’s YouTube channel, which has 103,000+ subscribers:

– an interview of Karen Straughan (GirlWritesWhat) by Elizabeth Hobson and myself, Looking Backwards, Looking Forwards (44:07)
– Alex Crosbie’s (6oodfella’s) World to End: Women Most Affected (47:02)
– my own talk, Women Fail to Compete Successfully Against Men, and Why They Will Always Fail (46:46)

The 120 ICMI videos are being released simultaneously on the YouTube channels of J4MB and Paul Elam’s An Ear for Men. About 30 released so far (08:35, 15 November), 90 more to go, the last two published will be those of Professor Janice Fiamengo and Elizabeth Hobson. I’m pleased to say my own video is attracting positive comments, a link to the piece on Paul Elam’s channel is here.

I’ve just logged onto Netflix to end my day with a series I like to end my days with, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, starring Jerry Seinfeld. It’s an uplifting series, even if you have to skip over episodes with woeful feminist “comedians”. Netflix are promoting a new series, The Queen’s Gambit, the trailer featuring a sassy young women entering a chess tournament. Doubtless she’ll annihilate the expert male players in the series, because women are very strong in works of fiction.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, chess is the perfect example of how women reliably fail to compete with men at the highest levels, regardless of the nature of the competition, decade after decade. It’s something I analyse at length in my forthcoming ICMI talk with the snappy title, Buchanan’s Laws of Inter-Sexual Competition: Women Fail to Compete Successfully Against Men, and Why They Will Always Fail. It’s currently scheduled for publication at 08:00 on 14 November. Most of the talk was filmed in my principal summer residence, Buchanan Castle, near Loch Lomond in Scotland.

Feminists mess everything up, including dungarees. This is Andrea Dworkin, a particularly repulsive American radical feminist:

In stark comparison, this is a small selection of typical dungaree-wearing construction site workers:
