Realizing that Men's Rights Ireland was notified in the last minutes that a speech from them would not be allowed, thus couldn't prepare for a separate venue, they should learn from this. Next time, be expecting this and have an alternative plan.

Also, perhaps obscuring their intentions so that feminists can't undermine them would be a great way to "sneak" in, then once on the podium, let loose with their original speech. Will the police actually remove them? If so, great PR for our side. We must get creative if there is any hope of fighting the truth haters.

Finally, I would like to know how Belfast council became involved as overseer? IMD is not a government thing, so next time, circumvent them and have the celebration without their "management".

If I am missing some important understanding here, please clue me in, with compassion and cohesion in mind of course.

Hi there, you asked this question twice in a previous story and were fully and comprehensively responded to. Since you've decided asking it a third is a good idea time maybe a MGTOW could tell an MRA what exactly he's actually trying to say.

Women have a downhill battle asking for what they want and in getting helpful responses. Complaining about those who might impede their objectives is cheered. The culture waves them on and responds to their concerns no matter how nutty. Men have an uphill battle to even get their perspective into the conversation much less in getting a helpful response. This is exactly why FTSU is so critical and needed. The cultural deafness to the pain of men and boys is staggering.

One of our Men’s Human Rights Ireland (MHRI) members was scheduled to
deliver an address at Belfast City Hall this past International Men’s
Day (IMD) but was abruptly informed at the 11th hour that his speech had
been cancelled.

Glad to see there's a recording of the speech making the rounds.

Does anyone know whether the MHRI simply went ahead, notified the press and attendees, and gave the speech on the steps of city hall or the sidewalk in front of it?

Thing is its an uphill battle for us everywhere and on all fronts. Give all men who are trying to right the wrongs encouragement by all means but there is no need to put other men down for their efforts.

Speak for yourself.

So there you go. Feminists can ban a man from speaking on IMD. Of course. IMD is for feminists to tell us what a bunch of violent, raping, child molesting assholes men are. Just like Fathers day is for feminists to tell us Fathers are all of those things. Both days are also for men to speak of course, but only if they get up and do their best impersonation of the Conscious Men. I suppose it's ok to talk about male suicides and homelessness and poverty and suffering and death too, but only if you do it with a smile on your face to the laughter of the crowds, and wear one of the compulsory t-shirts which say either "This is what a feminist looks like" or " I bathe in male tears" Available in pink only, with complimentary white ribbon, and pink arm bands.

I wish we could create a global conscientious to wake men up to this. To see feminism for what is truly is: A hate cult against men. If men would stand together and refused to be shamed into silence, this shit would stop.

That would be my wish too. It is sometimes so painful to watch men after they have been kicked out of their homes, fight against the system to see their kids, going off the rails and not realizing why they have been treated like this and all because they are men.

And sadly, often, it isn't until men get kicked out that they realize just how badly the system is stacked against them.

Feminist will do what feminists want. We know their game very well. This is a generational struggle. A significant strand of Western society has become something similar to a pyramid scheme. Marraige is a particular symptom of that pyramid scheme.

Some of us are working quietly to affect change. Change that will bring all of society forward together. Men in particular have been left behind, especially in school, and third level. The pursuit of material gain for women has pushed many men below the floor, dropping out of education, work and ultimately society.

This is a gamble by foolish politicians empowered by consensus created by powerful lobby groups.

A Global Strike might soon have all vested interests sucking in air. I consider that in the short term, it is the only way this situation can be highlighted effectively.

Well, men are half the world's population. We have to ask the question where are all the rest of the men, apart from us here?

The zeitgeist is changing and changing quickly. The laughable thing is to watch political parties of any hue infected with feminist politics try and argue it's case in public, they all end up sounding the same. Watch for the naked power grab from within.

Men are already switching off and turning their backs to society. What this will create is anyone's guess.

In times of great need, the facility to divide society was used by government to distract the populace from bad governance. Social pressure for scarce resources ended up in cultures where race riots, religious sectarianism and pogroms were very very common.

Now you have Hollaback, and A. N. Other feminist calling out men in general as abusive privileged rapists. In specific instances this becomes a trial by media and a witch hunt.

Feminism is the New Inquisition. It's driving a wedge between men and women. If men oppose feminism openly, they are branded misogynists. Women - I'm sure - secretly fear, that, to oppose feminism may erode what rights and entitlements they enjoy. The very clever thing feminism did, becoming the 'protector' of women. Feminism is uniquely authoritarian, totalitarian, and it requires a woman's loyalty to be sucessful. She need never call herself a feminist. She may call a man a rapist or a paedophile whenere she wishes, and the state, informed by feminist policy and law will do the rest. Game Over.

I remember a couple of years ago, the local rag in my hometown ran its annual two- or three-page listing of deadbeat dads in the week running up to Father's Day. Classy!

And who would know from the news that a higher percentage of mothers than fathers get behind in child support? Of course, men are imprisoned at far higher rates for the inability to pay. In Massachusetts, for the same amount of arrears, a man is EIGHT times as likely as a woman to go to prison.

She wonders why we call some women crazy!?!

Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure that crazy can also be used as an adjective...

This article should be printed and sent to every Belfast City Councillor together with all the evidence and sources to support the points made and a letter of complaint asking the councillors to take action. And if possible, take legal action against Belfast City Council.

I find it so funny that one of the complaints was the use of the word crazy, but I suppose it is from the same stable of intellectual thought that brought us the "Ban Bossy" campaign. Hush now everybody, Orwell's thought police are here, make sure you think only female gendered thoughts! The blatant hypocrisy of it!!!!! The degrading, insulting, offensive and lets face it, slanderous things that both the men and women of the MHRM get subjected to is ok? Daily attacks on who you are as a human because you refuse to ascribe to a totalitarian ideology pales into insignificance when compared to a woman being called crazy!!!

The same reactionary drivel repeated over and over again, IF YOU'RE AGAINST FEMINISM, YOU'RE AGAINST WOMEN.Utter tosh, just drivel and nonsense and the sad thing is this drivel forced the suppression of free speech, there's a quote from Game of Thrones doing the rounds that I think sums the situation up,When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say, news flash for you BFN, equality means free speech for everyone, it matters not one jot that you're feelings are hurt by this or that you have an ideological agenda which gets sullied by the truth, MHRI had the right to free speech, you do not have the right to censor opinion or views.

It seems as if these people are hell bent on bringing in some sort of puritanical dystopian nightmare that not even Orwell himself could've ever dreamed possible. The concept of the thought police was scary enough when expressed by Orwell, but the apparent version of that for the 21st century is what we have in modern feminism. Don't like a word, well hell, lets just censor it, dare to put the word feminism in a survey of words society should ban for the upcoming year, well hell, we'll scream and yell and force the words removal from the list.

Double standards everywhere you look in modern feminism, women can't be told by any other person how they should be dressed, but feminism has the right to say when a man's attire is not appropriate? Refusal to accept proven FACTS is a certified "debating" strategy, yet use of said facts is harassment? Women's movement!!!!! pah!!!! bloody religion more like, can't question it's creation, can't question it's doctrine, can't question the authority of the "clergy", any dissent is squashed ruthlessly and any initiate who "wakes up" and sees the lies is excommunicated and driven out. It's meaningless if it's 1984 or 2014 we seem to be living in, seems to me like it's fucking 1384 and the church is back in charge!!

peace be with you.

Who is that Norwegian woman you're talking about? I'm following Scandinavian politics quite close and I know of no such woman.

The only Norwegian nutcase female that I know of is Eva Lundgren - who indeed wanted to ban criticism of feminism, but within the Swedish Uppsala University campus, not in a whole country.

The only Scandinavian endeavour to ban criticism of feminism under "hate speech" provisions that I know of was the Norwegian group Reform, who is a feminist "men's rights" group.

Their report, here: http://www.nrk.no/contentfi...

Well we have a decent portion of feminist minded women in Norway. But I am not aware of specific people trying to ban criticism.

Remember I found reform some time ago, didn't take me long to realize they were a bunch of idiots.

Also I love how that report is called "How to work against antifeminism and extreamism? a report by experts in the nordic"
Glad to see we are tossed in there with terrorists :P

"He for He" & "Warn a Brother"... Men helping each other... hey what great idea! It's going to become a cultural meme or "an idea who's time has come" if western civilization is to survive. I for one am 'down' with He for He and am doing all I can to let my brothers what time it is and where they stand in regards to women, law enforcement and big daddy gov't.

To the BFN...Thank you.

Your actions here, are like president Obama to gun promoters! You see, unwittingly, Obama has turned himself into one of the greatest gun salesman of all time.

Now, I am not for guns, nor against.

But I find the similarities between your actions at city hall Belfast, and his pandering to international gun control activists as the same. Because of his actions, gun makers have had historic record sales.

So keep going tricks!

We thank you.

It is true the more you try to surpress something the more interesting it becomes.

When I see this type of oppression being foistered on men, it makes my blood boil. The sad thing is that turkeys listen to them and act on their lies.

Not for long. By 2024's election cycle, we may be able to get some one as high as Joe Biden a new career choice, involuntarily.
If not that high, we may be within a decade of doing so. Politicians,, and the public, will take notice.
