For generations, centuries even, women have bravely fought to be treated as the legal equals of men.

Equal at home. Equal at work. Equal at the voting booth, in education, within finances, and by law.

And so we have witnessed one of the greatest equal rights movements in history; with women emerging as victors and the rightful recipients of hard won equality.

But whilst in many areas, the placards have been stowed away, with the pitchforks back in the shed; there still remains an area of society where women are not seen as the legal equals to men.

It’s an issue nobody seems to want to change.

In fact, many feminist and women rights groups have protested *against* efforts to correct this…

And what I am talking about, is how it is still legally impossible for a woman to commit rape, by British law.

That’s right.

It doesn’t matter who she is, or how she commits this act; whether she uses a weapon, coercion, physical violence, drugs, alcohol, whatever it is, it is not considered ‘rape’, and (legally) never can be.

This is true both by law, and also in academia.

Meaning the Office for National Statistics’ definition of ‘rape’ is he same, and therefore our Government’s national Crime Survey simply has no idea how many men have experienced this crime, because they have literally never been asked (until this year, when that changes).

So –

Who wants full legal equality for women, including within criminal matters?

And why are so few demanding it?

What do you think?

Hines et al. investigated female perpetrated IPV during the pandemic. They found out that 16.8% of participants said that their partner’s aggression became more severe and frequent; 18.4% said it became more frequent; 12.6% said that became more severe only. Nearly half the participants (47.8%) indicated that they experienced an increase overall in either or both the frequency and severity of IPV victimization.

Over a third of participants (37.5%) indicated that their partner’s aggression remained the same. As well as only 14.6% reported that their partner’s became less aggressive during the pandemic.

I never thought I could get to this place.

A place where TheTinMen was not just a grid of artwork ranting into the void, but rather a vibrant, global community that hosts daily conversations, to discuss difficult subjects that nobody else wants to talk about.

Even more surprising –

I never thought the possibility of building TheTinMen could actually become financially sustainable for me, but that too is a dream fast approaching reality.

And there’s nobody else to thank, other than you guys.

I know it’s cliche to say such things at time like this, but it’s true –

I simply could not do this without you.

However, despite this exciting progress, this is not the time to sit back and relax – far from it.

Now’s the time to keep the foot on the gas.

Because there’s a whole world out there of incredible projects, campaigns, research, services, charities, individuals and organisations, who desperately need help too, but they haven’t the time, resources, or the exposure to find it.

So many life-saving ideas without the means to be made real.

And more frustrating –

The money that is raised in the mens health space, so often sits in the bank accounts of greedy, self interested charities who have no intention of using it to the betterment of men and boys.

Well, we can end that.

We can be the change we want to see.

We can become the community this space needs.

No more world changing ideas, fizzling out for lack of funding.

No more bloated charities, sat on mountains of cash.

No more talk, without action.

So here’s what’s next for TheTinMen CIC…

What do you think?

The road male victims have walked for fifty years now, has been one of continual erasure, broken promises, and political betrayal.

Every few years it seems like politicians are ready to acknowledge these men and boys, with kind words and commitments, only for them to forgo such commitments at the early possible opportunity, every single time.

Again and again, we hear it: ‘no victim left behind’, ‘the human cost of abuse cannot be overlooked’, ‘men and boys matter too’, but when the chips are down and the legislation is being penned, these fine words fall at the wayside.

It seems hard to believe that these male victims, the many millions of them, are still, all categorised as ‘male victims of violence against women’.

An insult that not only erases them from discourse, but also means that male victims are constantly overlooked or dismissed in formal government policy and documents; consigned instead to footnotes or ignored entirely, with life-saving services not designed to meet their gender-specific needs.

It’s not good enough.

Far from it.

It’s not good enough that society’s most vulnerable men and boys must suffer, because of the cowardice and self interest of our politicians.

It’s not right that these promises are broken, and forgotten about; quietly shuffled to the bottom of priorities, because they are not vote winners.

So here are some of the few ways in which the British Government have said the right thing, only to never follow through with action.

Those who abandon their duty as elected politicians, and their decency as human beings, to spare themselves discomfort.

Let’s take a look…

Five-year report into domestic abuse-related deaths

The Survivorship Experiences of Men and Boys 

Blog explains the sexist tropes in the latest Devil Wears Prada movies. Streep justifies her sexism against men by saying that she was mirroring her experiences with men throughout her career in Hollywood. That's not good enough and we need to see less man hating drivel in cinema.

What I don't agree with in the blog post is calling her behaviour or the film toxic misandry, by doing so I am concerned that we will head towards the same trajectory as feminism. Toxic behaviour is toxic. Misandry is contempt / hatred as well as sexist attitudes and behaviour towards men. Its the opposite of misogyny let's leave it at that.

It was still a good post overall.

Male BC pill passes safety test during clinical trials, showing promising results.

So often when you post about violent assaults, gang or knife crimes, homicide, criminal exploitation, sexual abuse in prison, or war deaths; where men are the overwhelming victims, a shrill voice quickly arrives at the scene to immediately derail the conversation.

“BY OTHER MEN!”

It’s a voice that seems to think if a crime is committed by a man, against another man, then both things cancel each other out, and therefore it doesn’t matter.

A few days ago I tweeted a video of a young Ukrainian man being dragged from his home, getting stuffed into a van, and taken to the front line of the war.

Such a video was a heartbreaking affront to personal liberty and freedom, that I thought might draw emotions of shock and sympathy, perhaps even outrage and protest…. but no….

In response, it was, as it always is, the same symphony of stupidity that serenades so many of these conversations.

“WHOS DOING IT!”
“WHO STARTED THE WAR!”
“WHO WROTE THE RULES!”
“WHO BUILT THE SYSTEM?”

And so on, and so forth.

Such a voice seems to think that an innocent man who is being headlocked and dragged into a van, somehow ‘started the war’, and/or ‘wrote the rules’ to the cruel military draft himself.

Such a person has become so used to seeing “men” as a faceless, dehumanized, monolithic blob, that men being harmed and killed (“by other men “), are both the simultaneous instigator and victim of such things.

This cartoon, childlike view of the world is prevalent on the left, and is typically the first word they yell when listening to men's issues.

Ironically, it’s the same flavor of bigotry that racists use, to derail and wave away conversation of gang violence with “black on black crime”.

And I am bored of it.

Because to me, it’s not shitty people that I worry about most.

It’s shitty people who are drunk on their own sense of perceived moral superiority, who are light-years away from realising they are absolutely part of the problem too.

Aren’t you tired of them?

What do you think?

Aba and Preach react to Hasan Piker and Tim Pool's misandry concerning male gamers developing a paternal instinct because they played a video game, Pragmata that features a child AI.

Both Hasan and Tim Pool creep shame men, claim that it's weird to have a paternal instinct and that men who do for the child AI are pedophiles. They both shame men who play video games and say that male gamers are losers who can't get laid (so also virgin shaming). It goes to show that both sides of the political spectrum will both spew out misandristic nonsense to prove a point.

There's also a random terminally online gamer girl who says that men who want to adopt children are pedophiles.

As Aba and Preach rightfully highlight that these takes ironically enforce gender roles since men are able to bond with children just like women can. Secondly, it leads to more stereotyping if a woman doesn't want children or doesn't have a maternal bond, hence placing more pressure on women to have children when it should be a two-way street.

Obviously these idiots (Piker and Pool) won't say anything about female pedophiles nor women who don't want kids. But are fine with perpetuating sexist tropes that men don't or aren't able to bond with children.

I thought we were over calling gamers losers. This commentary is so redundant and annoying.

Toxic, fragile, progressive, dominance based, healthy, violent, oppressive…

Take your pick.

Masculinity now comes in countless new flavours, each one making even less sense than the last.

To be honest, it’s a conversation I’ve never been interested in.

It’s one I’ll leave for the man-banned masculinity influencers, the podcast bros, the ivory tower professors, the “woke” politicians, and of course, the feminist mob.

Masculinity is just male typical behavior and interests.

Beyond that, I don’t know what it is.

However, I do know how many men will take their lives today.

I know how many boys will fail their GCSEs and drop out of school.

I know how many boys will be stabbed on our streets, how many will turn to crime, or addiction, or fall into homelessness.

I know how many will die young.

I know how many men and boys are being abused or sexually exploited.

I know these things, and many more, all of which are incomparably more important than whatever the f**k masculinity is.

Who cares if boys want to play with trucks, or Barbie dolls; who cares if they wear blue or pink; if they want to put on make up, or spend their days climbing trees.

What matters is helping men and boys live happy, healthy lives, and whatever ‘masculinity’ is the result, is surely the right kind.

That’s where our attention should be spent.

Because, if masculinity is a performance, then I think it’s time we peered behind the curtain.

So let’s take a look…
