Anti Feminist Party to stand at UK general election

I got sent this link by a girl saying "thought you'd like this given your ideology" haha.

It is a buzzed link so here is the full article:

The party, which hands out “Lying Feminist of the Month” awards to female journalists, will be fielding three candidates in the Nottingham area, including one candidate who will attempt to unseat shadow women and equalities minister Gloria De Piero.

The party was founded by retired businessman Mike Buchanan, who told BuzzFeed News it’s his party’s ultimate aim to “make feminism a dirty word”.

Buchanan used to work as a business consultant for the Conservative party, but quit in 2009 when David Cameron backed all-women parliamentary candidate shortlists. He has since dedicated his life to anti-feminism, writing three books, Feminism: The Ugly Truth, The Glass Ceiling Delusion, and David Cameron – The Heir to Harman?

“Feminism is a hatred, and it should be a badge of shame,” he said. “To call yourself a feminist should be no more acceptable than calling yourself a bigot or a sexist or a fascist. It is a deeply vile, corrupting ideology and the idea it’s a benign movement about gender equality is dangerous nonsense.”

The party’s website is home to articles such as “13 Reasons Women Lie About Being Raped”, “10 Reasons False Rape Allegations Are Common”, and “Feminists – Enemies of Men, Women, and Children”.

The party has also produced a detailed 80-page manifesto for the general election which includes policies on halving the length of time after conception a woman can legally get an abortion, creating all-boys schools with all-male teaching staff, and the introduction of a government minister for “men and equalities”.

“We hear a lot about misogyny, which is actually very rare, but a hatred of men is very commonplace,” said Buchanan. “As far as the state is concerned, males are pretty much subhuman and they’ll do anything they can to destroy men’s lives.”Buchanan, who believes Ched Evans’ rape conviction was “probably a miscarriage of justice”, said the state fails to recognise important differences between genders and that the “glass ceiling” preventing women from reaching high-ranking jobs doesn’t exist.

“Women just want to do other things with their lives,” he said. “They’re less driven and have less to gain from getting to the top of their professions, so they naturally don’t put the effort in that a man would. They’re more suited to things like medicine, caring, and social work.”

In the general election, Buchanan is pessimistic about winning enough votes to retain any of the three £500 deposits he’s put down, but thinks it’s worth the expense in order to raise awareness of what he called “the only anti-feminism party in the English-speaking world”.

“I guess our target demographic is more men than women,” accepted Buchanan. “But people in general are increasingly joining up the dots. There are so many areas where men are assaulted by the state, and there’s only one political party they can turn to.”

The leader of Justice for Men and Boys laughed off the suggestion that he was a misogynist, and said anyone who calls him that just needs to get to know him better.

“Rather than engage with me on the issues, people call me sexist,” he said. “I’d suggest those people simply need to educate themselves about gender politics.”

Feminism is female supremacism.

The "equality" guff is just to reel in the suckers. When you read what feminists actually believe in their academic journals, and strip out all the pseudointellectual word salad bullshit, it boils down to: PENIS BAD! VAGINA GOOD!

I'm jealous. I wish we had a proportional vote style system here in the states so that we could have new parties like this. If we had a system like you guys we could have realistically made a decent voting bloc with the MRAs and various other traditional men along time ago.

Strange, I'm a right-winger and I believe the same thing...

Hm. Breath of fresh air and all, but single-issue politics are never going to get far.
Still, on the bright side, if he endures long enough or gains any press support, the Tories will lift his policies and outlook, water it down a bit and then try to implement it on the back of something else, just like they did with UKIP and the immigration furore.

I think you're a bit confused about Ukip: they have already taken two Westminster seats off the Tories (with many more to come in May). Cameron is a europhile pure and simple.

^^^Sure, I mean that Cameron seized on immigration as a hot button policy and mentioned caps and reforms when he saw UKIP gaining ground. That was how it went from being something that only UKIP and the less credible parties talk about to a mainstream media issue.

This party will be fringe for a long time unless something similar happens. On the whole, the public are aware of these issues-remember Fathers4Justice?-but they don't take them seriously or think that they're urgent because the people who advocate for change on those issues are seen as 'strange'.

The problem with most fringe parties is that they try to set one group within Britain against another, usually by dividing society based on race or in this case gender, as opposed to the usual right/left rich/poor split.

Ukip is making an appeal based primarily on the UK's sovereignty which is currently attracting all sorts of different people. You cannot really be called fringe if a third of your voters are ex Tories, a third ex Lab/Lib and the rest those who have never voted.

Ukip is no longer fringe because the Tories failed to take the lead on negotiating Britain's EU exit.

I hope everyone else is as encouraged as I am to see a thread full of Brits all pulling for the same thing. It may only be the internet, and we may all be hiding behind shitty pseudonyms, but none-the-less, it is positive to see others of a like mind within a few hundred miles of each other. If one were to rely on Facebook alone for positive reaffirmation, the world might be a lonely place.

Just came across one of this guys videos. Pretty good stuff. Except for the stuttering, his argumentative counter-tactics against the leftist (such as 'why would you suggest that Fran?') were quite good.

My favourite line:
Quote:Quote:

Of course feminists have a cause, and their cause is female supremacy, and they are driven by misandry, which is the hatred of men.






Postscript:
When I was typing this post, the word 'misandry' came up with red-underlining, because it wasn't in the dictionary. As an experiment, I typed 'misogyny' next to it - no red underline.
