It looks like there's an organisation that's fed up with this female dominated society and they want men to be positions of power (like PM, chancellor of exchequer, chairman of the BBC, Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellor etc), to start running businesses and get a fair crack of the whip when it comes to earning.

The Justice for Men and Boys is ready to spread the message

Looks like they have sensible points too: no more women police officers (sorry, Edna) or firefighters; no women allowed to study sciences, rape prosecutions for women (as they rape nearly as often as men do), no female teachers for boys and later retirement for men.

They missed out making conversations about fluffy kittens compulsory

How on earth would men do the washing?

It's a well-known fact that they don't know how washing machines work!

This will always be a grey area ,as if you are male and stand up for your rights or put your point across you are classed as sexist and not sympathetic towards women ,so are dammed if you do and dammed if you dont. I think it makes some fair points to be honest ,especially education and the statistics, and contrary to popular belief women do not have the exclusive rights to be discriminated against .I see the ops point re top jobs ,but at grass roots level especially education there is a huge void regarding male teachers ,so like police officers ,fire fighters etc where there has been positive discrimination because of females not being represented ,there should indeed be positive discrimination regarding males who are not represented in the education system .This is a huge sometimes volatile subject which could be forever debated ,but I do feel the pendulum is being swung a little to far for women in a lot of aspects in life ,just as much as there are huge discriminatory factors against women in certain other countries of course . Afraid its a no win situation in my view.

Yes there is. Obviously you have forgotten that you bought it for the little woman a few birthdays back. You would also have fitted it yourself without reference to the instructions.

It's a one issue party that's going to have little effect on the election. However, it would be better if you were to read their manifesto if you're going to report on it.

There is no such proposal to stop girls doing STEM subjects; all that's said is that extra funding should not be given for girls to do them over boys.

There are indeed areas where men have a tough deal: mental health is an obvious one. They're also more likely to suffer a violent assault but many of the areas highlighted by the manifesto are ridiculous.

You raise a good point about the shortage of male teachers but there's nothing discriminatory about this - far from discriminating, most primary schools are desperate for male teachers. There's been a determined effort in recent years to find more but there are still far too few.

Fair point. I took this point from a newspaper report on the manifesto rather than the manifesto itself. I couldn't be bothered to read 80 pages of this nonsense

However, it should be said that they're not happy with the amount of female doctors, even though there is no additional STEMM money given for female students.

And to be strictly honest, they're not saying that there should be no female police officers or firefighters, just that the physical requirements should be what they were in the past (which means that the vast majority of women wouldn't pass them)

/QUOTE]

Which is a very good reason for positive discrimination in favour of males ,not a determined effort, because if the tables were turned it would be put through quicker than a John Barnes free kick .But good points raised.
