Whilst doing some research today, I came across a "lovely" gentleman called Mike Buchanan. Former leader of a political party for men's rights. He was succeeded by a woman in 2020, and I can't seem to find out what has happened to him since. If anyone has any information on how much of an impact he made, I'd love to know.
Buchanan has said he established the party because "the state is anti-male"[20] and considers the male sex to be "pretty much subhuman".[6] According to him, "legislation is routinely drafted to advantage women and disadvantage men" while "boys are being relentlessly disadvantaged by an ever more feminized education system".[21] He has also formed such groups as the Anti-Feminism League and Men Shouldn’t Marry.[22]
The party issues awards for "lying feminist of the month" to female journalists,[6] "toxic feminist of the month" and "whiny feminist of the month".[26][27] Its website includes a link to an article entitled "13 reasons women lie about being raped".[27][20]
In its manifesto for the 2015 general election, the party explored twenty areas in which it believes the human rights of men and boys in the UK are being violated.[18] In this document, the party advocated compulsory paternity tests, cutting funds intended to encourage women to enter science, and cutting the abortion limit for women whose pregnancy threatens their mental health from 24 to 13 weeks.[24] Parents should be able to send their sons to schools with only male teachers because female teachers are assumed to favour girls in the awarding of marks.[29] They also advocate that men should be able to retire earlier than women, because males work harder and die younger.[23] The section on sexual abuse concentrates on female offenders, and the issue of rape and assaults annually committed against women in the UK is avoided.[30] The higher level of male suicide is blamed on the state for favouring women over men.[7]
Are there actually any political parties making their way to the top with this shit??
