William, a retired engineer, blogs on men’s issues on The Illustrated Empathy Gap http://empathygap.uk/ and was the author of the book "The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect" (2019). He volunteers with the Welsh charity FNF-Both Parents Matter Cymru and will be talking about some of the charity’s work.
This video is one of 120 videos published for the sixth International Conference on Men's Issues (2020), a conference originally planned for Sydney, Australia, but later turned into a virtual conference due to Covid-19.
From #metoo to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines pathologizing “masculinity” as harmful, to Gillette’s razor adverts blaming all men for the actions of a damaged few, ideologically motivated groups have used unchallenged narratives of female victimhood to promote damaging stereotypes about men and boys, masculinity and men’s relationships to each other.
More than ever before, recognition of men’s issues is needed. Men and boys deserve compassion, they deserve consideration for their unique needs, and they deserve our support.
Men and boys also deserve respect for their unique contributions to society and an end to the promotion of unkind stereotyping of being harmful, abusive, toxic, selfish and hateful. We would not tolerate this stereotyping directed towards any other group.
We are in an era of unprecedented ideological conflict. By reducing men’s ability to take a positive identity from their masculinity we are encouraging young men to pursue ever more radical ideologies to find a place to belong. In turn we are also encouraging young women to embrace an identity as society’s victims rather than it’s equal co-creators.
International Conferences on Men’s Issues (ICMIs) deal with issues that disproportionately (or uniquely) affect men and boys. The inaugural conference was held in 2014, and since 2016 the conferences have been held annually:
- Detroit (2014)
- London (2016)
- Gold Coast, Australia (2017)
- London (2018)
- Chicago (2019)
Playlists of all 100+ presentations at the conferences are here, as well as playlists of the presentations at the Messages 4 Men conferences in London (2017-19):

The conferences deal with the social and legal issues that disproportionately (or uniquely) affect men and boys.
This year’s conference is being held online, with the publication of 120 videos (one per hour, every hour) from midday, Saturday, 14 November, to midday, Thursday, 19 November, 2020 (International Men’s Day), Sydney time (the event was originally going to be held in Sydney).
Our thanks to Tom Caulfield, Technical Director at Justice for Men & Boys, for his impressive launch video (20:11):
Male Genital Mutilation is a criminal offence in the UK under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, being Grievous Bodily Harm. A blog piece on the website of the political party Justice for Men & Boys:

This is a video of a meeting of the House of Commons inquiry into 'Women in the Workplace' in November 2012. The speakers are, from left to right:
Heather MacGregor, owner of an executive recruitment company in London, Taylor Bennett. 20 of its 22 staff and directors are female. Gender equality in the workplace is a fine thing.
Dr Catherine Hakim, a world-renowned sociologist and developer of Preference Theory (2000). Her research showed that while four in seven British men are work-centred, only one in seven British women is. We would reasonably expect this factor alone to account for major corporate boards being 80% male / 20% female.When we factor in that almost two-thirds of private sector employees are men, and that until recent times men were far more numerous than women in the disciplines (notably Finance) which lead to boardroom positions, the proportion of men in the boardroom would rise to well over 90%. So if anything, women are now OVER-represented in British corporate boardrooms.
