Academics for Academic Freedom compile a list of individuals who have been banned from speaking at U.K./Irish Universities or faced campaigns to silence them.

Mike and I have been added – I will email them now to fill them in on the latest news (yesterday’s, Student Union unanimous vote to lobby the university to ban us).

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in May 2019:

Heather Savigny is the “Professor” of Gender, Media and Politics at De Montfort University. In the context of academic job titles “Gender” means, of course, “otherwise unemployable whiny taxpayer-funded feminist parasite”, but maybe that’s too long to fit onto business cards. Our thanks to Mary for pointing us to “Professor” Savingy’s latest whineathon, on the LSE website, Gender and the ‘impact’ agenda: the costs of public engagement to female academics. The start of the piece:

In 2014 I was interviewed for the Independent on Sunday about a paper I published on women’s experiences of sexism in academia. The interview, I was advised, would be another excellent dimension to my ‘impact case study’. Here was an example of ‘public engagement’ and the kind of thing that the Research Excellence Framework (REF) agenda is seeking to foster.

Shortly after that interview I received an email telling me that I had been awarded ‘whiny feminist of the month’. The man who had sent this email blind copied in some of my senior male colleagues. His email and publicly available blogpost were clearly designed to humiliate and potentially silence me. (Although I was reassured I was in excellent company: Harriet Harman, Laura Bates, Jo Swinson, Caroline Criado Perez have also been ‘recipients’). [J4MB: If this is “excellent” company, what would bad company look like?]

Reflecting on this experience led to a discussion as to whether this constituted ‘impact’ in relation to the requirements of the REF. The institutional response was no. Which in turn got me thinking about what it is that counts as impact. Is it only something that leads to positive change? And what about the negative consequences of engaging in impact and public engagement strategies? Do these not ‘count’, especially knowing women are more likely to be subject to online abuse?

Ms Savigny won our “Whiny Feminist of the Month” award in November 2014, details here. Her award certificate is here. Whiners gotta keep whinin’…

Our thanks to Steve for this (video, 1:59). Ironically, the video makes the point that women see men as ATMs (financial objectification, anyone?). It seems that not allowing your female partner to spend your money as she sees fit, maybe to the point of your bankruptcy, is “financial abuse”. As usual with feminist propaganda videos, the only intelligent content is in the comments section. Examples:

Kian Oliver: Like lads suffer from this as well and nobody talks about it, people just have the assumption that men are to blame for all mishaps in society, and it’s not right.

Simon Sterne: Now… Come on AIB… let’s have an ad portraying the financial abuse of men… Or maybe both genders instead of focusing on just one…

Robyn Gaines: And the statistics for men affected by this issue???

Lei P: Closing my AIB account after this man hating advert.

WillyDIreland: 198,000 lads doing things right.

A piece published online today by The Guardian. The start and end of the piece:

Dominic Raab has defended his claim that feminists are some of the most obnoxious bigots and that men are getting a raw deal, saying he does not want “double standards” in the debate on equality.

The former Brexit secretary, a leading candidate to be the next prime minister, was challenged on BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show about his comments from 2011, when he said: “From the cradle to the grave, men are getting a raw deal. Feminists are now amongst the most obnoxious bigots.”

He stood by the position by saying it was “really important that in the debate on equality we have a consistency and not double standards and hypocrisy”…

Previously, Raab has described the Government Equalities Office, which leads work on policy relating to women, sexual orientation and transgender equality, as “pointless” and suggested it should be abolished.

The photograph published by Varsity, of milkshake being thrown at Mike Buchanan.

The photographer has creatively managed to make Mike Buchanan invisible in the image.

Three hours before Mike Buchanan and Elizabeth Hobson were scheduled to give their talks at Cambridge University – chanting students from the Cambridge University Noisy Twats Society (CUNTS) blocked the entrance to the building, but the talks went ahead anyway – there was an incident at a pub in Cambridge in which two feminists (one man, one woman) threw milkshakes at Mike Buchanan, some J4MB supporters were also hit by the liquid. Several J4MB supporters then chased after the assailants.

This video (4:32) was taken by Natty on her phone. She caught up with the female assailant, as well as (at 3:35) the male photographer commissioned by Varsity, the student newspaper. Our profound thanks to Natty for her courage and presence of mind to record the video. We plan to bring prosecutions against the assailants and the photographer, and will shortly be sending this video footage to the police and the university authorities.

A reminder that in a Fawcett Society poll in 2016, only 9 per cent of women, and 4 per cent of men, self-identified as feminists. In total, just one in 14 British adults self-identify as feminists. So when 10 Tory party leadership candidates were asked if they’re feminists, either one or none should have answered in the affirmative, all else being equal. But when asked by The Guardian, eight spineless candidates (or their aides) said they’re feminists, or at best declined to admit they’re not feminists. Shame on them. The only candidates to emerge with any dignity were Dominic Raab and Esther McVey.

Our thanks to the good people behind our supporters’ Facebook account UK Men’s Rights Action for spotting this piece in The Guardian:

Most of the Conservative leadership candidates – Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid, Michael Gove, Matthew Hancock, Andrea Leadsom, Rory Stewart and James Cleverly – have all declared that they are feminists, after Dominic Raab said he was “probably not” one.

The question of women’s equality became an issue in the contest after Raab, one of the favourites to be Conservative leader, rejected the label of feminism and stuck by his 2011 assertion that feminists are among the most “obnoxious bigots”.

Challenged about the remarks by ITV, Raab said: “The point I was making is that sexism is wrong and it’s wrong if it’s said about a woman or about a man and I think equality is too precious a value for us to put up with double standards. I do think we should call hypocrisy out in political debate and political life.”

He added: “I’m all for working women making the very best of their potential and that’s something that’s really important to me.”

All 10 of the other Conservative leadership candidates were subsequently asked if they were feminists, with eight saying they were.

Johnson, the frontrunner, was criticised by senior women in his party last year over his comments referring to Muslim women in burqas as “letterboxes” and comparing them to bank robbers. However, it is understood he considers himself a feminist, and is proud of his campaign as foreign secretary to promote women and girls’ education across the world.

Aides to Hunt, Javid, Gove, Leadsom and Stewart all confirmed that their candidates would describe themselves as feminists.

Hancock was pressed about the issue of whether he was a feminist in a television interview. He said: “Yes. I have three children … I want my daughter and my sons to have the same opportunities in life. That is what it means to be a feminist. Absolutely, I am a feminist, yes.”

Cleverly also said he is “absolutely” a feminist.

Esther McVey’s spokesman had no comment. Kit Malthouse did not respond to the question.
