J4MB public challenges of feminists (and their male collaborators)

We’re sometimes asked if we’ve ever had any substantive responses to the many public challenges we’ve issued to feminists, and their male collaborators. No, we haven’t, with the sole exception of one from Vera Baird, although we still haven’t received a response to the note we sent her in January 2014.

These people are utterly shameless in their contempt for truth while they pursue feminist agendas. Here’s a small selection from our challenges, in reverse chronological order:

Mark Carney Governor, Bank of England

Theresa May MP Home Secretary

Laura Bates Whine merchant

[Note added 27.9.14: the evidence base behind our assertion that Laura Bates was lying - a lie she brazenly repeated in September 2014 in a BBC debate - is here.]

Eleri Butler Chief Executive, Welsh Women’s Aid

Sandra Horley Chief Executive, Refuge

Roz Hardie CEO of OBJECT, a feminist campaigning organisation

David Futrelle American feminist, critic of men’s human rights advocates

Polly Neate CEO, Women’s Aid

Ms Baird responded to our challenge, and we replied 11.1.14 with a number of comments and questions. The exchange of emails is here.

If and when we ever hear back from Ms Baird, we’ll post her response.
