Statement from Rad Fem 2013
April 20, 2013International
Unsurprisingly, and for the second year in a row, men’s rights activists have bullied venue staff hosting Radfem 2013, into submitting to their terror tactics. Despite the fact that the organisers of this year’s Rad Fem 2013 were completely transparent about our intentions for the conference and the potential consequences of the London Irish Centre’s acceptance of our booking (i.e. harassment from men who don’t like us), the venue has been bullied by a bunch of men’s rights activists and the venue are considering cancelling our booking. Men’s rights advocates have harassed feminists online, bullied venue staff at the London Irish Centre (this year’s host of Radfem 2013), including putting the names of staff on websites and blogs. Staff were also shaken up by the theft of a laptop and mobile phone from staff. This is now under criminal investigation and we have no idea who was responsible, but what we do know is that it is us who are being punished.
The reality is that the men’s rights activists have behaved unacceptably in their harassment of staff at the venue, as they have to feminists organising the conference. The London Irish Centre should be standing strong with the women of the world who suffer male violence, silencing, bullying, threats, spreading hysterical malicious lies and perpetrating harassment on a daily basis because we are standing up and saying, “no.” Organisers of Radfem 2013 have gone out of our way to help the centre and its staff with criminal investigations.We will not be intimidated any longer. We will not be silenced any longer. We will not be hounded from our venues any longer. This is our ground. We are taking it. This is our space, these are our rights and if they won’t be given to us… we will take them. Women from around the world stand strong in the face of male terrorism. Submission is not an option when globally we are battered, prostituted, raped, objectified, our ideas, creativity and energy stolen, corrupted and undermined. Our identities colonised, broken and violated. This is our time. We are no longer forsaken, we are strong because we stand together in sisterhood.
The London Irish Centre may be unjustifiably considering cancelling our booking but this will not stop us from holding our event and standing our ground. The repercussions on our movement for liberation are too great if we allow ourselves to be bullied out of our rightful booking. We do not accept the London Irish Centre’s unjustifiable rejection of our booking. We have done nothing wrong and we will not accept being punished because of MRA’s using terror tactics.
Women are coming from all over the world to meet in strength and sisterhood. Some women have spent a lot of time, money and energy booking flights and accommodation from the US, Finland, South Africa, France, Australia, Canada and all over the UK. We come from all walks of life. We are many colours, many cultures, many races. Some of us have disabilities, many of us are poor, all of us are marginalised. Our program will focus on giving voice to women from all backgrounds and on a diverse range of important issues to eliminate violence against women.
We will have our conference. It will be at the London Irish Centre from the 8th – 9th of June. We are standing strong with our sisters around the world for our liberation. We will not be moved.

Paul Elam and other MRA's left messages. I don't usually post on feminist boards because they usually delete what you wrote or they twist it around to make light of you or make you look worse. I noticed these were left alone and intact so I wrote the following:

Hey cuntlips, if you’re going to persecute Paul Elam and the rest of my brother MRA’s then I demand you persecute me too. Your nazi terror tactics have been exposed for the world to see. In reality you are far from from the innocent lamb you are the shewolf that devours the innocent. We have snapshots in your own words that you would love to commit grave crimes against half the human race,even to little boys. You are the evil and we are shining a light on your atrocities for all the world to see. We stood up to your evil and you don’t like it. There is one group that can relate to your position-they were the defendants at the Nuremberg war crimes trial and you are just as guilty as those defendants were.

Radfem refuses to take "no" for an answer
The only thing that could be considered "redeemable" about feminism is the unwitting comedy they produce. Read the following from MRA London and you'll see what I mean:
Radfem 2013 Cancelled, Cathy Brennan Explodes
A Voice for Male Students, a student group based in the US, has reached out to us at MRA London with a warning about our personal safety, and possible reprisals, after we mounted an impromptu protest at the London Irish Centre over the planned Radfem 2013 conference.
Thank you guys for your genuine concern! Personal safety is an aspect which is not lost on me.
For myself, I made a personal decision sometime ago to get involved and to get out there, no matter what the consequences. Most of the people in our own group, both men and women alike, have personal experiences beyond belief, and what we realise is that we have nothing to loose, but so much to gain by this.
We are not professionals when it comes to undertaking direct action. In fact, Rod (bless!) the original founder of our group, even began blurting out a profuse apology to the guys at the Irish Centre over "the interruption" — until I stood on his toe to shut him up.
Good move. You avoided what could have been a defeat. If they shit on us there is no reason for us to apologize. Fuck that.
Nevertheless, because of our action, the Radfem's pro-violence ideology is now out in the open and, if we can do this — anybody can!
The Radfem booking was subsequently cancelled by the venue centre and feminist overlord and "Radical Hub" website (ex-)owner, Cathy Brennan, is now raging at her spit-flecked computer screen. In fact, she rants on her personal blog that she intends to go ahead with the planned Radfem conference at the London Irish Centre anyway, cancellation or no cancellation. My mind boggles — presumably this would be a bit like being rejected at a job interview, but turning up at the company for "work" and demanding a desk!
But, nevertheless, this is what Brennan says she is going to do...
We do not accept the London Irish Centre’s unjustifiable rejection of our booking. ... We will have our conference. It will be at the London Irish Centre from the 8th – 9th of June. Cathy Brennan - Radfem 2013
Whatever you say "Jill", you're the master race!
(The full contents of Brennan's spleen can be found on her personal blog.)
Here is a women who is obviously not used to being told "No!" In fact, I seriously suspect that she has absolutely no idea what it means. So, I thought I would write a quick refresher for her:
NO MEANS NO!
No - "A negative response; a denial or refusal."
As this saga rumbles on, I'm finding that I have a great deal of sympathy of the London Irish Centre over this. Possibly they thought they were hosting an event concerned with "equality" or something. Who knows? This must be a very painful lesson for them, but it's one that people everywhere must learn.
In 2011, James Huff operating under the pseudonym "Agent Orange" did an exposé on the radical feminist collective blog, Radical Hub (aka "Radfem Hub"). His findings — which uncovered discussions on child murder, gendercide, transgender extermination, castration and eugenics — must be difficult to comprehend for anyone used to only associating feminism with liberation and equality. At the time, A Voice for Men put out a press release which links to a large downloadable dump of past Radical Hub postings assembled by guys at the antimisandry.com forum.

(The Radical Hub website was taken down in February 2013, prior to the announcement of the Radfem 2013 conference.)
For too long, the likes of Brennan and Sheila Jeffreys — an academic who teaches that "Men are the enemy" across Australian academia and contributor the male eugenics discussion group on Radical Hub — have been allowed to hide under a rock. For the first time, we are now lifting that rock and shining a torch onto what's lurking underneath.
It wouldn't matter so much if radical feminists were just a bunch of harmless crazies who nobody listens to — if only this was true! They are a powerful group of women with influence throughout academia, media and law. Cathy Brennan, herself, is a US attorney in Maryland, and Professor Sheila Jeffreys is a prominent academic in Australia.
But as Martin Luther King once wrote:
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
We in MRA London, and the wider men's human rights movement, are men and women willing stand up for males everywhere — from adult men, old men, and boys of all ages. We have put everything we have into this — our time, effort, financial resources, heart and soul. We have nothing to gain other than our self-respect and self-worth, plus the experience of engaging life to its fullest extent. We are sick of sitting on the sidelines while the likes of Brennan and Jeffreys trample all over our human worth.
So, you see, this is everything to us and we are here to stay.
Notes. A record of past posts made to the Radical Hub website are easily accessible, courtesy of fstdt.com, using this link.
I say we give James Huff his own month in honor of him getting this information to us to expose the feminasties for what they truly are and name a prestigious pro-MRA award after him. Three cheers for James Huff aka Agent Orange.
