I’ve met more than my fair share of ludicrous feminists, but I have to sympathise with Rod Liddle for encountering Kaite Welsh on live television. Her defence of ‘no platform’ policies at universities was embarrassing, and Liddle’s exasperation understandable. The first section of video was recorded on university campuses, the studio discussion starts at 4:27. Welsh’s article in May 2016 for the feminist-friendly Daily Telegraph – once a fine newspaper – is here.

Four years ago AVfM published my piece titled, ‘He who pays the piper, calls the tune. Or does he?’ It was an analysis following the discovery that in the 2010/11 tax year, men paid £108.0 billion of the government’s £151.6 billion income tax receipts (71.2%), while women paid just £43.6 billion (28.8%). The income tax gender gap that year was £64.4 billion. We’ve been following the issue ever since.
The state’s numerous assaults on the human rights of men and boys, as outlined in our 2015 general election manifesto, happen despite men paying the majority of income tax collected in the country. Income tax is the largest single source of government tax revenue.
The income tax gender gap increased in each of the three years following the 2010/11 tax year.
So, what of the latest year for which we have gendered data, 2014/15? The relevant Table from the ONS is here. It shows that in the 2014/15 tax year, men paid £121.0 billion of the government’s £167.0 billion income tax receipts (72.5%), while women paid £45.5 billion (27.2%). The figures don’t add up to exactly 100% because of some crude rounding in the income tax receipts stats, leading to a discrepancy of £500 million. The bottom line?
In 2014/15 men paid £75.5 billion more income tax than women, a new record.
The data for 2014/15 also gives an insight into the average income tax paid by tax-paying men and women:
Of course if we look at men and women as classes, rather than men and women as taxpayers, the relative contributions of men will be considerably higher, despite the fact that male unemployment has long been higher than female unemployment, and government initiatives to ‘support’ women into employment (often into male-typical lines, e.g. engineering, on which £30 milion of taxpayers’ money is being wasted).
The Conservative government’s anti-conservative and anti-family policy direction of driving ever more women into paid employment has led to record numbers of women in work, and record numbers of babies and young children beiong looked after by strangers. This has led inevitably to a great deal of unhappiness among women and children, poorer outcomes for children, and higher unemployment among men – the latter point explored by Belinda Brown in a paper in 2013, here. It has been a failure even in terms of income tax generation. Women paid £43.6 billion in 2010/11, £45.5 billion in 2014/15, an increase of just £1.9 bilion. The relative figures for men are £108.0 billion and £121.0 billion, an increase of £13.0 billion.
Year after year, the income tax gender gap increases.
In the space of just four years – from 2010/11 to 2014/15 – the income tax gender gap increased from £64.4 billion to £75.5 billion, an increase of 17.2%.

Our thanks to David for this. Douglas Carswell, until today UKIP’s sole MP, has quit the party. Henceforth he will sit in the House of Commons as the independent MP for Clacton.
In 1991 the Anti-Federalist League was launched by Alan Sked, a historian. He stood as the prospective MP for Bath in the 1992 general election. When I stood in Ashfield in the 2015 general election, I attracted 30% more votes than Alan Sked did in 1993 .
The Anti-Federalist League was renamed the UK Independence Party in 1993. It took UKIP 24 years to have the same number of MPs today, as J4MB has managed in just four years.
Wikipedia have published an entry on J4MB over the past two years, the current one is here. There are a number of errors, probably attributable to feminist editresses, but none are of great import. One particularly attentive editress is ‘The Vintage Feminist’, as you can see from the entry’s revision history.

Fay Weldon’s What Makes Women Happy was published in 2006. From the first page:
The brutal answer to what makes women happy is, ‘Nothing, not for more than ten minutes at a time’.

A piece in The Sun, published two days ago. An excerpt:
“I am not on Facebook, but I am on Twitter. I regard going on Twitter as probably one of the worst things I have ever done in my life.
“I have about 16,000 followers, all of whom hate me.”
Mr Davies added: “It is very interesting to read what they have to say, but it all seems rather pointless.
“They can hurl as much abuse as they like – it does not bother me – but I am not entirely sure that it gets us anywhere.”
The BBC produced a short piece on the matter. An excerpt:
Philip Davies, a critic of political correctness and “zealous” feminism, who campaigns for “men’s rights,” told fellow MPs those who were not on Facebook or Twitter were “the sensible ones”.
I’m convinced journalism students are taught to put text in speech marks when they want to create the impression in readers’ minds, that the text is about something which the reader should be suspicious about. The idea that feminists might be zealots, or men should have rights! Ridiculous.
Please join me in following Philip on Twitter. You can do so here.

Our thanks to Martin for pointing us to some sound health advice in The Sun. There’s an interesting typo in a sentence near the start of the piece, shown in bold:
In the UK, men in general are not expected to lie as long as women – so maybe they need a little bit more help.

Our thanks to Kevin for this. How ideologically motivated or feeble-minded must some academics and students be, to be driving or supporting such a ludicrous initiative?

Our thanks to Jeff and Martin for this. We can be sure huge numbers of grievance collectors – i.e. feminists – will be wasting a great deal of valuable police time that could be spent investigating real crimes. We think it’s safe to say Nottinghamshire Police won’t be recording misandry as a hate crime.
An extract:
Chief Constable Sue Fish claimed it will make the county a safer place for women.
“What women face, often on a daily basis, is absolutely unacceptable and can be extremely distressing,” she said.
“Nottinghamshire Police is committed to taking misogynistic hate crime seriously and encourages anyone who is affected by it to contact us without hesitation.”
Work on the idea first started with the Nottinghamshire Safer for Women Conference last year, co-hosted by the police with the Nottingham Women’s Centre.
Another:
Melanie Jeffs, centre manager at Nottingham Women’s Centre, said: “We’re pleased to see Nottinghamshire Police recognise the breadth of violence and intimidation that women experience on a daily basis in our communities.”
She added: “Recording this as a hate crime will give us a detailed picture of how often, when and where it is happening. It has been very difficult to build that picture before but we will now get detailed data to analyse.
“Showing that the police take it seriously will also give people the confidence to come forward and report offences.”
Melanie Jeffs first came to our attention when we were campaigning in the Nottingham area at the last general election. She was described to me (by a woman) as ‘a particularly vile lesbian radical feminist’. In April 2015 she won our Lying Feminist of the Month award. Links to all the award winners are here.
