[Note added 7.6.15: Sandi Toksvig's second 'Lying Feminist of the Month' award certificate is here https://j4mb.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/150602-v3-sandi-toksvigs-lfotm-award.pdf.] [Note added 1.6.15: An hour after we notified Sandi Toksvig's agent of the challenge, we were notified she wouldn't be responding to it - https://j4mb.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/sandi-toksvig-declines-to-accept-our-public-challenge. We'll shortly be presenting Ms Toksvig with her second 'Lying Feminist of the Month' award.] Sandi Toksvig is a spokeswoman for the Women's Equality Party. She is, fittingly, a comedienne. She won the May 2015 'Lying Feminist of the Month' award for comments she made about the gender pay gap - https://j4mb.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/sandy-toksvig-womens-equality-party-wins-our-lying-feminist-of-the-month-award/. Feminists routinely claim (or imply) that a causal link exists between increasing female representation on corporate boards, and enhanced financial performance. Caroline Criado-Perez won the first of her three 'Lying Feminist of the Month' awards for making such a claim https://j4mb.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/lying-feminists-of-the-month-gloria-de-piero-mp-twice-laura-bates-twice-caroline-criado-perez-thrice-kat-banyard-a-womens-aid-spokeswoman/. Feminists present reports from well-known organizations (McKinsey, Credit Suisse, Reuters Thomson, Catalyst...) as showing positive causal links, but they don't. They show correlations, and they make it clear that the correlations they report don't prove causality, nor even imply it. There are more credible explanations for the correlations than a 'female factor'. Campaign for Merit in Business http://c4mb.wordpress.com is an organisation linked with J4MB. In 2012 Mike Buchanan presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries, longitudinal studies showing a link between increasing female representation on boards, and corporate financial decline - https://c4mb.wordpress.com/improving-gender-diversity-on-boards-leads-to-a-decline-in-corporate-performance-the-evidence/. Three of the five studies described the negative impact of legislated gender quotas in Norway. In the course of her discussion with Stephen Fry at the Hay Festival, Sandi Toksvig made the following claims, clearly implying a positive causal link between increasing female representation on boards, and enhanced corporate performance: "Every single piece of business research will show you that a business that has a board with diversity on it does better." "Norway did it (increased female representation on boards) by quotas, and that worked very well for them." We must assume that when she says, '... worked very well for them' she means in terms of the companies' performance - which is demonstrably untrue, as ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0oE-hHya3I

Due to file duration limitations on this channel at this time, this piece is a truncated version of the 22:33 full piece on our Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/169711144 I don't think I've ever enjoyed a piece on Woman Sour so much. Several tips of the hat to Laura Perrins of The Conservative Woman website conservativewoman.co.uk for her take-no-prisoners contributions. A description of the discussion on the Woman Sour website: "It's 150 years since Millicent Fawcett and other campaigners handed over their first petition for women's suffrage to Parliament. Jane Garvey and guests consider the impact a century and a half of feminism has had on women's lives." I imagine Jane Garvey needed a long lie-down in a darkened room after this discussion. This seems a good time as any to remind people that the ladies working at The Fawcett Society were the inaugural winners of our Gormless Feminists of the Month award.

Terrence was born in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1968. He’s a retired First Sergeant from the United States Army. He served from 1986 to 2018 with 12 years assigned to the Michigan National Guard. The character of his service was that of a special operations soldier. Popp was an Infantry Soldier, Airborne Ranger, Paratrooper, and a Green Beret. His service covered three formal wars in which he twice almost lost his life; he participated in several operations that will never be printed on the pages of history. Over 30 years, he traversed the circumference of this earth twice by foot while carrying the sum combined weight of a dreadnought battleship upon his back. He was frozen in the Arctic, baked in the hottest deserts, and boiled in the deepest jungles. [For a fuller profile, check out the speakers’ page https://icmi2020.icmi.info/?page_id=27.] This video is one of 120 videos published for the sixth International Conference on Men's Issues (2020), a conference originally planned for Sydney, Australia, but later turned into a virtual conference due to Covid-19. From #metoo to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines pathologizing “masculinity” as harmful, to Gillette’s razor adverts blaming all men for the actions of a damaged few, ideologically motivated groups have used unchallenged narratives of female victimhood to promote damaging stereotypes about men and boys, masculinity and men’s relationships to each other. More than ever before, recognition of men’s issues is needed. Men and boys deserve compassion, they deserve consideration for their unique needs, and they deserve our support. Men and boys also deserve respect for their unique contributions to society and an end to the promotion of unkind stereotyping of being harmful, abusive, toxic, selfish and hateful. We would not tolerate this stereotyping directed towards any other group. We are in an era of unprecedented ideological conflict. By reducing men’s ability to take a positive identity from their masculinity we are encouraging young men to pursue ever more radical ideologies to find a place to belong. In turn we are also encouraging young women to embrace an identity as society’s victims rather than its equal co-creators. International Conferences on Men’s Issues (ICMIs) have been held annually since 2014, with the exception of 2015: - Detroit (2014) - London (2016) - Gold Coast, Australia (2017) - London (2018) - Chicago (2019) Playlists of all 100+ presentations at the conferences are here, as well as playlists of the presentations at the Messages 4 Men conferences in London (2017-19) and the (UK) National Conference on Men's Issues, “Domestic Abuse is a Men’s Issue, Too” (2020): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKhX1c3ow6BrzdzP3ydpeZQ/play ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-hHxXVRdHY
