Tell the Camden Center to cancel Radfem 2013

From a Voice For Men:

Open Letter: Radfem 2013 at the Camden Centre by MRA London

What follows is an open letter and enquiry under the UK Freedom of Information Act to the Camden Centre Events Manager, on behalf of MRA London, concerning Radfem 2013 which is to be held at the Camden Centre in London.

The only contact information we currently have for the Camden Centre is this:

Dear Camden Centre Events Manager,

THIS IS AN OPEN LETTER AND ENQUIRY UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000

On the 8th and 9th of June, 2013, the Camden Centre will be hosting the annual conference of Radfem, a pro-violence group whose members have a documented history of advocating harm to male infants, gendercide of half the human race, not to mention, hate toward transgender women.

The event is restricted to female attendees only.

I am writing to you on behalf of MRA London, therefore, to enquire under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the following information from you:

1. On what grounds did the Camden Centre conclude that this event, which specifically excludes people on the grounds of sex, does not breach the UK Equality Act 2010?

2. How was this decision reached, and who made it?

3. Why did the Camden Centre not require the organisers to observe the Equality Act?

With regard to the exclusionary nature of the event, the official Radfem event website states the following:

“We welcome radical feminists and those women who want to learn more about radical feminism. It is women-only because we believe that we need to organise autonomously in order to fight for our freedom from patriarchy.” [1]

Last year, the Conway Hall convention centre rejected Radfem’s 2012 booking citing the UK equality law. The London Irish Centre, the original planned venue for 2013, also rejected Radfem’s booking earlier this year. While it can be argued that certain services and events may be applicable only to one sex, the official Radfem 2013 website also states:

“We are revolutionaries, fighting for social change, and overthrowing current patriarchal systems. … Radical feminism goes to the heart of female oppression by naming male domination and violence as being responsible for women’s subordination. … Gender only exists for the benefit of men, as a class, at the expense of women, as a class.” [2]

I do not consider myself an “oppressor” and regard the implication that I am responsible for violence, domination and subordination because I was born male as egregiously offensive and a denial of my humanity. Certainly, I have never benefited at the expense of women, either as a class or individually. I, therefore, do not accept that Radfem is a legitimate female-only event because the ideology espoused by its members affects me directly and personally, along with all males, not to mention every mother of a son. These are questions for everybody, not just one sex.

I have previously attended pro-female events, such as the Women of the World Festival in 2013, which did not seek to exclude males. In fact, I found certain aspects of the experience extremely rewarding and established positive contacts with groups representing female interests. MRA London has an inclusive membership, also, and we not discriminate based on sex or gender. I put it to you, therefore, that there is no legitimate reason why Radfem should be allowed to do so. Furthermore, as a public entity that is meant to serve all members of the community, the Camden Centre should not be facilitating any agenda of ideological exclusion.

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to the “No Delegation” clause of the Public Sector Equality Duty [3], in connection with third question of my enquiry under the Freedom of Information Act. The Camden Centre, as a facility provided by Camden Council, had a duty to ensure that the event organisers complied with the law. You could have, for example, required Radfem to open the attendance criteria to all human beings. Why was the Public Sector Equality Duty not observed in this case?

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully

Andy Thomas
MRA LONDON

This is what I like to see. Good Ole' fashion activism. I just sent an email letting the Camden Center know that I wasn't too keen on their letting Radfem use their center. I let them know that Radfem is akin to nazism and would they let racist groups use their center? I pointed out that Radfem is a hate movement and that they should cancel their booking. There's no reason why you can't do the same.

Taking time off

Modern western men

People are often shocked to learn that many male human rights advocates are, actually, female. And the strange thing is that, for many men, it takes a woman to explain things to them before they will listen. -Andy Man Source

All American men are are little children who war amongst themselves. -Irandes,long time MRA and current expat.

What Andy Man wrote pissed me off. The part that pissed me off is he's right. Western men are castrati. No other way to put it. They won't do anything that may displease women. They will laugh at a fellow man who is sexually mutilated by a woman and they will be white knights for the same women or someone like her. They have gone along to get along all these years they forgotten how to be men. They are bullied by political correctness and speech codes dumped on them by women. They will bow before women who abuse them and they will threaten any man who doesn't adhere to the feminist party line. They are taught to bow down to any woman,regardless of how she treats you or use self defense if she attacks you. What are girls and women taught: beat up and abuse men and if asked blame it on PMS. They will beat up other men but take all kinds of abuse from women just to avoid the "misogynist" label. All a female in a leadership position has to say is holding her accountable is "misogyny" and these steers will never question her or other women again-even though said women are leading them to the slaughterhouse. It seems like western men embrace their castrati status and will fight anyone who tries to fix their situation. I tried to reach out to other men in brotherhood only to be scorned and laughed at. Which leaves one question:

Why do I continue to do this?

What's the point?

I've got better things to do that help a bunch of ingrates who don't want the help but would rather wallow in the shit they become accustomed to. I've got better things to do than to be trying to reach out to a bunch of morons who don't give one shit about their rights but will raise holy hell if their sports team loses or the ref makes a bad call. But most of all I'm tired of wasting my time. I'm going to take a little vacation and get away from it MRA issues for awhile. I'm be here from time to time to check on comments and respond if needed but I won't be posting.

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.

Hooray for MRA London

From MRA London:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 20th, 2013

London Irish Centre Says No to Radfem 2013 Conference

Radfem, the radical feminist group whose members espouse a fascist, sexist and violent ideology have been ousted, yet again, from their planned convention centre. Last year, Conway Hall banned Radfem 2012 by citing that their exclusionary policy was at odds with UK legal obligations. This year, it was the London Irish Centre’s turn to reject Radfem after they were awoken to the reality of inviting the pro-violence group into their venue when MRA London, a male human rights activist group and part of “A Voice for Men”, mounted a protest on their doorstep.

MRA London is a peaceful group comprising both male and female members who stand up for the human worth of men and boys. It is also mixed race and includes gay members.

When hearing of Radfem’s rejection, the group’s co-founder, Andy Thomas said, “We don’t believe in shutting down debate. However, it is vital that there is someone speaking up on behalf of men and boys. And for the first time ever, they now have a voice.”

He adds, “This is a victory for men and boys everywhere because the message is clear—the time when their human rights can be trampled on with impunity is now over.”

The Radfem 2013 conference was to feature Cathy Brennan, a prominent radical feminist and a US attorney in Maryland. Until February, 2013, she was also the owner of the now defunct website, Radical Hub—a site which featured calls for child murder, extermination, and male eugenics.

In 2011, A Voice for Men in the United States offered a $1,000 reward for the real identity of a Radical Hub contributor “Vliet Tiptree”, who was duly identified as Pamela O’Shaughnessy from California—an author of crime novels published by Simon and Schuster. O’Shaughnessy had written a lengthy piece detailing a plan for the “extirpation” of half the human race—the male half.

Sheila Jeffreys, who was to be a keynote speaker at the event, was also regular contributor to the “male eugenics discussion group” on the Radical Hub website. Jeffreys teaches sexual politics at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has been accused by Dr. Greg Canning of A Voice for Men in Australia, of teaching “hate” across Australian universities.

All prejudice is seen as fashionable and virtuous in its time, and we’ve had 40 years or so of anti-male sentiment in the media and wider culture, so much so that it has become normalised. However, MRA London and A Voice for Men believe that we are witnessing the start of a sea change were, for the first time, radical feminist rhetoric will become universally recognised for the toxic bigotry that it is.

This is fucking awesome. Just fucking awesome. Three cheers for MRA London for a job well done. For letting it be known that institutionalized misandry will no longer be tolerated. This must have come as a shock to the femisludge that attends these hatefests but the good news their time is not only short but it is running out rampantly. The days of darkness that they threw over the western cultures that resulted in pro-feminist inquistions to promote misandry and destroy men are coming to a close. This is what activism can accomplish. However we must have a high level of vigilance and avoid complacency,never to rest on our laurels. Until the enemy is vanquished we don't rest but continue to give them hell. It's starting to pay off let's keep it up.
