The Guardian - Is university lad culture causing a rise in feminist societies (Emily Hilton) - Emily is obvioulsy a wannabe rising star of "telling untruths enough times they turn to facts". Get this: "Frustrated by sexism and misogyny on campus, increasing numbers of students are setting up feminist groups at their universities.". What misogyny? For every seven people who go to univeristy these days, four are women and three are men.

As ever, here are a few below but keep checking the Fighting Feminism and Helping Men websites for UK based stories.
The Guardian - The other gender divide (Mona Chalabi) Very welcome piece but framed from a feminist perspective bizarrely ('It's difficult to deny that women suffer more than men as a result of their gender') - it is almost like an apology has to be written before the Guardian will accept anything about men.
The Independent - Need knows no gender (Ally Fogg) Brilliant piece from Ally including coverage of Earl Silverman - a male equality hero. Plus Barbara kay article.
Men's Heath Forum - Men's Health Week
News Statesman - The uncomfortable truth about male suicide (Holly Baxter)
Voice for Men - Karen Straughan presentation brilliant presentation should be compulsory on any gender studies course
Karen Ingala-Smith - This thing about male victims proof beyond doubt that some people don't want to recognise male victims exist!
Hiromi Uehara - Piano Woman
MRA LOndon - Mumsnet discussion
Newsletter - Ulster judge warns against positive discrimination

When Reunite International published its figures earlier this year that showed that 70% of parents who abduct their children and take them abroad are mothers, many of us in with an interest in this were not surprised. You only have to be aware of the problems faced by fathers who call organisations like Reunite or Families Need Fathers to know about this.
The Guardian covered the story with two examples also this poor chap talks about it on BBC Men's Hour about his abducted daughter (and not the son - radical feminists are rejoicing) who is now living in Tunisia.
Back in December, the BBC published a story that according to the FCO research, "74% of people thought fathers were most likely to abduct their children but statistics from Reunite International suggest 70% of their cases concern mothers taking the child."
The number of litigation and disputes is also on the increase.
What is staggering though is that firstly the lack of awareness that mothers are the main abductors in three of four cases where the children are taken abroad. Such is the anti-male society we live in and the way that society (pushed by radical feminists) have demonised men that anything negative to do with children and parents is automatically assumed to be down to fathers and men.
This is of course not helped when the litigation results came out this month and there was much discussion about them but no one wanted to make the connection to mothers - it was like some sort of dirty secret. Nothing on Mumsnet?
Why is it a secret? If the statistics showed it was three in four men - it would be front pages news.

As you can see, Symantec's misnadry is now so extreme that even suggesting "men are good" appears to result in the "hate site" tag. I'll shortly be adding hte seven sites above to the main list showing all the wrongly blocked and defamed sites.
On the plus side of things, I've now put so much work into this and tested so many sites, that I appear to have inadvertently created an impressive directory of high quality men's human rights sites, so once again the feminist censorship backfires. Readers are more than welcome to take my list and create a men's rights directory.

Update - just found a couple more sites that are being blocked and defmamed:

Two weeks ago, this site wrote about the issue where Women's Aid desperately did not want to allow an article in The Independent about male victims of domestic abuse to not take into account female victims.
So today, Women's Hour had a section about the financial aspects of domestic abuse. So did Polly Neate, the CEO of Women's Aid mention both female and male victims of this sinister side of domestic abuse? Of course not - the hypocrisy is both overwhelming yet not surprising.

Yesterday, I published the story about Hyundai and thought it would be good to publish a montage of Britain's worst anti-male ads.
If you have a link to the ad on Youtube or just want to mention it (and we can try and track it down) please list in the comments section.

Feminist McCarthyism is poisonous strand of modern radical feminism that believes that every man is a secret women-hater and that every decision that is not pro-female is due to a cabal of men making decisions in smoke-field rooms to keep women in the kitchen.
It is a particularly noxious brand of feminist which is not pro-equality and is espoused by the Guardian, Fawcett Society, many in the government (Government Equalities Department especially) and a whole bunch of radical feminists who see conspiracies and women-haters everywhere.
The campaign and petition to ensure that a woman is on a British banknote has reached absurd levels of feminist McCarthyism. There must be some conspiracy behind the decision to replace Elizabeth Fry with Winston Churchill?
There is even now a petition and the metropolitan elites and other outlets (Guardian, Huffington
Post) have got behind it. The Chancellor's Aide Amber Rudd MP as well...as reported in the Independent and Daily Mail.
The petition states "An all-male line-up on our banknotes sends out the damaging message that no woman has done anything important enough to appear." No proof anywhere of that at all!
The petition even tries to say the Queen does not count because she is hereditary.
But surely only a few can say that the Queen does not do a good job and also that means women as well. What McCarthyist feminists like those mentioned and especially Caroline Criado-Perez of the Women's Room are really saying is that the Queen was not chosen by them so that doesn't count.
What the petition does is show is the absurdity of McCarthyite Feminism, how anti-male it is by seeking to place every decision that they do not agree with as being part of some patriachal conspiracy effectively portraying us all as women-haters.
And it also shows how out of touch they are with normal women (and normal men). How many of the UK's 30 million women are going to sign this - hardly any - and the reason is simple - they do not see the sexism that the Mccarthyite's see because it is not there. The Empresses have no clothes

One sure sign of the everyday institutional sexism that men face in today's society can be seen by the recently banned advert created by Hyundai and the laughable advertising agency Innocean Europe who said they are "a company that espouses strong family values" (Innocean Europe is owned by the chairman and his daughter...)
Hyundai claim they knew nothing about it which is a lie. No company allows an advertising agency to produce and broadcast an advert (online or not) and no one at the organisation sign it off.
The sickest thing about the ad is not the ad per se, it is the fact that the creatives and executives at both Innocean Europe and Hyundai actually came up with the idea, then created it, then broadcast it. Did no one stop and say something.
How could anyone come up with such a sick idea and think it was funny (and of course would they ever reverse the genders). Well someone did and it shows that people thought it was OK to do so. And these are not people without a brain (supposedly), they are running one of the world's biggest ad agencies and car companies.
With three out of every four suicides being a male and with both the Men's Health Week and International Men's Day being about mental health and health respectively (and of course CALM), both Hyundai should sponsor these and Innocean Europe should create an advert for International Men's Day/Men's Health Week or CALM as a penance.
