Jeffrey is a British professor of logic at the University of Warsaw. He has published in mathematical logic & philosophy of mathematics. He is a specialist in axiomatic theories of truth. Before moving to Poland in 2019, he worked at LSE and the Universities of Nottingham, Leeds, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Munich and Oxford. He gave a talk at ICMI18 and an interview with Honey Badgers Radio, about being domestically abused, sexually assaulted, threatened, harassed & stalked for over two years and falsely accused by a woman he’d known for several years, a woman who followed him to Oxford in 2012, and who tragically committed suicide in Oxford in 2013 when her boyfriend ended their relationship. He was defamed as a “murderer", harassed & witch hunted by militant feminists, who organized a public campaign of false accusations against him and drove him out of his home and job. He was vindicated and reinstated, as reported in The Sunday Times in August 2014. He was then blacklisted and forced out in retaliation.

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. The inaugural conference was held in 2014, and since 2016 the conference has been held annually: - Detroit (2014) - London (2016) - Gold Coast, Australia (2017) - London (2018) - Chicago (2019) Playlists of all 100+ presentations at the conferences (as wel ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coWnmACuVs0
