New Statesman: Could YOU be the next whiny feminist of the month? Meet the Justice for Men and Boys party.

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 August 2016:

Priceless. So much nonsense in such a short piece, but two extracts should give you a flavour. The first:

While the party has fielded candidates in elections, when The Staggers checked with the Electoral Commission, it could not find Justice for Men and Boys listed as a party.

Presumably The Staggers got her name by being staggered by facts and rational arguments, as feminists invariably are, when they’re not shocked, stunned, or offended by them. We’d expect feminist ‘research’ to reflect feminists’ low IQs, and invariably it does. While The Staggers couldn’t find J4MB listed as a party with the Electoral Commission, it took me under a minute to track J4MB down on the commission’s website, here.

The second extract:

However, there’s no doubt that “Men’s Rights Activists” have become more vocal in recent years. One prominent figure, Roosh V, has organised simultaneous meet ups in 43 different countries. And the movement now has powerful voices – some commentators believe the manosphere’s biggest cheerleader is Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Roosh V has always made it clear he’s not an MRA, and no MRAs of my acquiantance have ever consider him one.

The Guardian and New Statesman took more than a month after the conference to publish their woeful attacks, and the pieces we’ve seen in the past three or four days are presumably the best they could manage. It’s a good thing they weren’t in a rush.

Greg Young: Women, naturally better leaders for the 21st century

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 August 2016:

Our thanks to Martin for this. From the email associated with the embarrassing 13-page document:

About the author

Greg Young, CEO of LeaderShape Global, has been a thought leader in the field of leadership development for over 10 years following a senior career in the Lifesciences and Telecommunications Sectors – see http://www.leadershape.biz/greg-young. He is a contributor to “The Invisible Elephant & the Pyramid Treasure: Tomorrow’s Leadership – the Transpersonal Journey” (2011) and “Leadership Assessment for Talent Development” (2013). Greg diversity (sic) has a passion for diversity in leadership and most recently was on the Judging panel of Women in Construction and Engineering Awards (WICE) 2016.

An extract from the document (p2):

Routledge and LeaderShape Global in partnership are pleased to announce a series of quarterly White Papers around the subject of Transpersonal Leadership, culminating in the publication of a book entitled “Becoming a Transpersonal Leader” in January 2018. So what is Transpersonal Leadership? The concept was first published in a report on tomorrow’s leadership, based on a leadership development journey developed by LeaderShape (Knights, 2011). The word “transpersonal” was inspired by the use of the word in “transpersonal psychology” (Bynum, 2010). “Transpersonal” is defined as “extending or going beyond the personal or individual, beyond the usual limits of ego and personality”.

A Transpersonal Leader is defined as: They operate beyond the ego while continuing personal development and learning. They are radical, ethical, and authentic while emotionally intelligent and caring. They are able to:

• embed authentic, ethical and emotionally intelligent behaviours into the DNA of the organisation

• build strong, collaborative relationships, and

• create a Performance Enhancing Culture that is Ethical, Caring and Sustainable.

From p.10:

Ensuring women reach the top

There are many strong and valid societal and organisational reasons why fewer women reach senior positions and the very top of organisations than would be expected and justified by demographics. What this research study identifies is that women are actually better than men as leaders in many of the EI capabilities that make up the leadership styles that leaders need in the 21st century. However, the study also shows that there are a few areas, especially around emotional self-control and self-confidence where women could and should focus to make themselves as good as they can be as leaders in this fast changing world.

Strategies for building a strong pipeline of women leaders

This study shows that woman have natural attributes that when realised make them ideal leaders for organisations in the 21st century. The challenge however, is to get more women into leadership positions where they can deliver maximum advantage. These strategies fall into broad categories of: 1. Setting targets based upon sound data 2. Creating the right HR policies that enable the talent to be present in the work environment 3. Developing Organisation Development (OD) policies that recognise the difference in requirements between genders. 4. Building a culture that recognises and encourages leverage of the difference that woman can make to strategic thinking and performance.

My brain hurts. I think we can safely assume no mention is made in the document of the long-established fact that four times as many men as women have a strong work ethic, and that’s the prime reason men outnumber women at senior levels in the private sector.

You have to feel sorry for Tom Phillips (Jess Phillips’s husband)

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 August 2016:

The video (6:38) on our YouTube channel of Jess Phillips’s woeful maiden speech (28 May, 2015, three weeks after the general election) has attracted 12,000+ views and a satisfying number of downvotes from the harridans. In the course of her speech, Ms Phillips mocked her husband for his line of work (lift engineer) and his lack of qualifications compared with hers, and whined that she earned less than him, while she was employed at a charity.

She also spoke of her ‘misfortune’ at having two children, ‘Both of whom are sons, incidentally!’ They must be so proud of her.

It has only just come to our attention that her already unfortunate husband (Tom) had a devastating change of career shortly after Ms Phillips was elected an MP, by becoming her office manager – here. You have to feel sorry for the poor man. What must he have done in a former life, to deserve this? To be fair, the same could be asked of Jack Dromey MP, the relentlessly (and understandably) haunted-looking husband of Harriet Harman.

Maybe we should start a fundraiser to send Tom and Jack on holiday together, without their wives. Think of the fun they’d have!

The maiden speech of Philip Davies MP, 2005 – possibly the only MP’s maiden speech to mention sausages?

The text of Philip Davies’s maiden speech is here. We particularly enjoyed this section:

Before entering Parliament, I worked for the supermarket chain Asda in customer service and marketing. It provided the best possible grounding for a politician because I met so many people from so many backgrounds. Whoever said “the customer is always right” never worked for Asda.

I encountered the customer who accused us of being racist towards Irish people, because we sold “thick Irish sausages”. Trying to persuade her that “thick” related to the sausages and not to the Irish was beyond me. Hon. Members should therefore understand why I will campaign hard against the blight of political correctness, which is doing so much damage to our country. [Hon. Members: “Hear, hear.”]

We must do more for women entrepreneurs

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 2016:

A truly pathetic article from a recent Mail on Sunday. An extract:

A report from the Federation of Small Businesses last week argued that while women-led firms face many of the same challenges that all small businesses encounter, ‘there appear to be issues which are more acute for women business owners’.

Its survey of more than 1,900 women business owners found key challenges included balancing work and family life, achieving credibility for the business, and a lack of confidence.

One of the comments hits the nail on the head:

Why must we do more for women entrepreneurs? Who is the ‘we’? If people can’t do it for themselves, men or women, they are not entrepreneurs.
