Paul is an American, and possibly the most well-known Men’s Rights Activist in the world. A former mental health professional, he launched A Voice for Men (AVfM) in 2009, and An Ear for Men (AEfM) in 2015. AVfM has long been the most-visited and most influential website in the world advocating for men’s human rights.

There will be three 30-minute long episodes in this series, starting at 23:00 on Mondays: 5 December - The Inadequacy Edition Olly Mann and guests tackle male feelings of inadequacy. 12 December - The Angry Edition Olly Mann and guests explore anger - repressed and explicit. 19 December - The Heroic Edition Late-night discussion featuring the conversations men do not often have on air. Early in the first episode it became clear just how dreadful this series is going to be. The unstated but underlying theme - as so often with the BBC - is that if men became more like women, their problems (and women's problems) would be much lessened. Baloney. Within a few minutes of the start of the first episode, the words 'feelings' and 'emotions' must have been uttered 10+ times, 'vulnerability' and 'patriarchy' several times, likewise 'toxic masculinity'. The two male studio guests were cardboard cut-out manginas (male feminists) - one is looking forward to becoming a 'house husband', his wife earns a lot more than him - and we had the displeasure of the involvement of Kate Smurfwit, a Lying Feminist of the Month https://j4mb.wordpress.com/lying-woman-of-the-month/ as well as a feminist 'comedian' (i.e. reliably unfunny). The host then met men at the feminist-compliant Being a Mangina Festival. The presenter is Olly Mann http://ollymann.co.uk - the second from the left, in the image above - a mangina with a surely bright future at the BBC if he carries on like this. So, a mangina presenter, two mangina studio guests, and a feminist 'comedian' - BBC ideological balance at its finest. We'll be posting all three episodes on this channel in due course. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QvYQ8URvbI

From their website https://temper.me.uk/what-is-temper: ------ Temper is a registered charity focused mainly on working with people whose behaviour in their intimate relationships is a cause for concern. We work closely with violent, aggressive, abusive people to help them understand why they behave in such ways and to help them bring about changes in their behaviours. Temper was devised in 1994/5 and improvements are continuously being made to the programme in the light of the experience of more than 1,000 clients who have completed the work, both men and women, and the availability of much greater research into what works and what doesn’t. This has also brought about an explosion of knowledge through neuroscience. We work on the basis that in the vast majority of relationships emotions drive behaviour, not a desire for “power and control”. ------ 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/UCKhX1c3ow6BrzdzP3 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqVFvkirN1Y
