UK Ministry of Justice announces their expert panel to review how courts protect children and parents in cases of domestic abuse and other serious offences... One senior judge, 10 women. One organisation focused on women's issues, none on men's

Good luck trying to get any justice or fairness in the UK

And this is the f"""""" Conservative Party, who have turned out to be just as gynocentric as the Labour Party.

This is ridiculous, they are all feminists.

All panels discussing children family matter that affect men and fathers should have a MRA member.

Re: the surprise this is happening with the Conservative Party ...

This is the same party that under present (outgoing leadership)

Set up the pay gap audit, created a law for the pay gap of larger companies to be revealed, without it requiring it considers different positions/roles [you could dig for this easily, just not in initial stats].
Some in the party suggesting higher level support for enquiries into the need for women's prisons - no mention of men's (though nothing came of this).
When one PM contender (Raab) reaffirmed he was not a feminist others quickly saying they were.

[Annoying I had two other examples, forgot them when I had to reload freezing page]

I reckon while there is little support for these positions among many of the Conservative Party core, there is still more of a positive than negative for MPs to at least look a little feminist. The reason is few if any papers will praise someone not explicitly feminist, but many will aim to bring you down if anti-feminist, even if these papers / examples of media are not representative of your core constituency.

An example I can think of would be when Philip Davies went to an MRA conference - [1] left-lib-fem (Guardian, Independent) papers started posting anything they could against him. [2] This spread to 'comedy', which focused on his breaking of a pledge to drop hospital car park fees (with horror stories about people leaving dying family to top up meters), which while a broken promise was some time before the MRA meet, before culminating with [3] various generic negative comments towards him as though his name had become synonymous with shit on BBC radio shows.
