19 December 2021: Eric Nelson, “Challenging Legitimacy of Domestic Violence ‘Experts' in Law Cases"
This was one of around 70 presentations or interviews filmed for the (online) seventh International Conference on Men's Issues, 2021 (ICMI21) http://icmi2021.icmi.info/speakers. Almost all were followed by live Q&As and will be published in the same order as they were published during the online conference (held over 13-19 December 2021) but over 14-20 February, 2022.
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.

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)

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):

Hannah has witnessed women's use of criminal and family courts to abuse men in five different counties, and began writing after she saw one man's ordeal drag on for seven years, continuing even when authorities had substantial evidence that the accuser was gaming the system. She is the author of Breaking the Glasses, written from an anti-feminist perspective, with a focus on men's rights and sometimes social issues. She has a YouTube channel (also called Breaking the Glasses), and has also written for Honey Badger Radio, the Honey Badger Brigade blog, and A Voice for Men.

Don't be dissuaded by doctors or anyone else from taking an annual PSA blood test, ideally courtesy of the NHS. Your life could depend on it.

This interview was with Kaye Adams for her show on BBC Radio Scotland. Ms Adams is, needless to say, a feminist, and our exchanges in the past have at times been strained. But on this occasion she was far more cordial and willing to consider the points I (and others) were making.
After a lengthy break Adams returned to me at 29:05, just as I was breathless from descending and ascending numerous flights of steps. I really must go to the gym more often…
