Heresies Ep. 7 - MEN: Second-Class Citizens? The Attack on Men & Men's Rights (Ann Widdecombe)

N19864 · 2021-12-31T15:19:56+00:00

Whether it be deserving men unable to progress their careers due to female quotas & all-women shortlists, the naming of men in rape allegations whilst the female accuser remains anonymous, or the appalling treatment of men in the family court system -- such as denial of custody rights over children, crippling divorce settlements & child maintenance orders that invariably favour wives over husbands --, many are now asking whether men are now second-class citizens.

In this documentary, (Episode 7 in the New Culture Forum's acclaimed "Heresies" series) the Rt. Hon Ann Widdecombe explores the issue of men's rights in the modern age, an age when men & masculinity are consistently derided and attacked. The ubiquity of the new phrase "toxic masculinity" provides a perfect example of this.

Featuring interviews with well-known figures in men's rights and experts in the psychological damage these experiences are regularly causing men.

One should also read the comments.

Ship’s Cook 4 days ago: I was a juror on two consecutive sexual assault trials this year . Both cases should never had gone to trial in the first place and left me with impression that there is something seriously wrong with justice system .

3 days ago : @Afifah Hamilton The CPS also needs investigating . I can well believe some activists have got high up into the organisation and brought their bias and warped ideology with them.

Joel Hall 4 days ago (edited): My friend Matt was wrongly convicted. (His ex accused him when she found out he had a new girlfriend). He was also falsely accused after he got out of prison (by his own step sister) and hanged himself out of fear of going back to prison. He never knew the police weren't going to charge him.

Justice for all 4 days ago (edited): Two of my friends in the last 7 years have lost the will to live & ended there life because of very similar situations.Hounded for money they never had and accused of wrong doing that they never did.My tears for them & the children soak my pillow every night.

Betty Price 4 days ago: My son was in the air force and his best friend ended up in a divorce case and accusations were made by the wife which were later found to be untrue. However; the settlement and maintenance awarded to the wife was so steep it made my son's friend personally bankrupt. I don't know about today, but back then it was illegal to be personally bankrupt in the military, so he lost the job he loved, and the air force lost a man they spent lots of money and time training. It upsets my son to this day and he has never married.

Slartibartfast 4 days ago: It's always been like this. I remember an incident when I was at boarding school back in 1978 as an 8 year-old when one of the girls punched me at a dinner table because I refused to engage her in an argument she wanted. A teacher saw this and punished both of us, I explained to the teacher that it was her who hit me - he agreed and said "But I will look stupid if I only punish her". The next day in assembly the minus points were read out in which I was given some minus points. I had to work off the points by sweeping the courtyard. This is just a small example showing that this is not a new phenomenon.

Pablo Maggers 4 days ago: I recently lost access to my two children because my ex made a false allegation of rape against me. The family Court decided my guilt before any information or evidence was given.

I now know why family court is held in privacy. It's grossly biased against men.

Mark Fahey 4 days ago: My friends marriage broke down, no other people involved. His wife demanded an extra £20,000 settlement money or she would accuse him of violence. She did the same to a previous partner.

Design 3 days ago: 'The fairer sex'.

stickemuppunk itsthefunlovingconservative 4 days ago (edited): I went through something similar. My mother and sister took my ex to court for custody of my children. They tried to do it without my knowledge and behind my back. My mother IS a social worker and my sister IS a family law barrister. They used their positions of power to inflict a life sentence on me, for trying to save my kids from them. My kids went through something awful and are now back with their mother safely after 8 years of fighting in court for them. The corruption i witnessed was amazing. I don't have a government, I have a bunch of people who attacked me.

Joanr 4 days ago: The radical feminist agenda in Australian family disputes squeezed my brother so hard that he could not continue to live in Oz. He had no choice but to leave the country, and do what he could to maintain his relationship with his boys, whom he adored.. he has been a good father to them, but from a distance. It boiled down to custodial time and financial support in which the mom held all the cards. “Children need their mother” the feminist-dominant court ruled. the father? Expendable.

Deryck Evans 4 days ago: I went to court with an ex-partner, who at the end of the first hearing lied directly to the judge's face, at the second hearing I presented irrefutable proof of the lie, the judge was furious with me and refused to include my evidence. I can only conclude that I was the victim of CONSCIOUS BIAS.

Anon Nemo 3 days ago: In 1990, I became a widower with an eight year old child. In those days and, so far as I am aware now, a widowed mother, no matter her circumstances, was entitled to far more state assistance than a widowed father, no matter his circumstances.

I mention this to highlight yet another example of how various authorities discriminate against men in favour of women and how long this has been the case. Many thanks for this video. It is long overdue for society to take a long, hard look at the injustices handed out to men.

PushkinCastle 3 days ago (edited): I am a single disabled mother on benefits.. I know exactly what men go through .. I was determined to be grateful to the father of my son.. saw other women getting ’bitter’ .. I was going to be better. My Ex is a very dDifficult man but as I say to my son .. of whom I’m well proud, I’m a very difficult woman too… and I will never hear a bad word about his dad … that can or does go misunderstood… ever!!! Even if and when he was absent I would make it a blessing… he and his father have the most wonderful relationship .. they respect each other and ‘get’ each other .. still room to grow but I KNOW that I did right by both of them … despite being encouraged to disallow access.. I did the exact opposite of what I was ‘encouraged’ to do .. followed the law and not ideology of feminism or feminazism or femininnyism. This show confirms my correct position.. thank you .. my name is Alexandra Freed and the clue is in the name. And I’m Freed to help defend men.

I'm struggling to click play on this because of my preconceptions about Ann Widdecombe, but I'll give it a go...
