About 'Fighting Feminism'

Welcome to the blog of the Anti-Feminism League, an organisation dedicated to fighting militant feminism, a movement which has long assaulted individuals and institutions including the following:

• men
• women
• marriage
• the family
• the justice system
• academia
• the media
• government
• business

… and much else.

I’m Mike Buchanan, a British anti-feminist author, publisher and campaigner, the founder of the Anti-Feminism League and the Campaign for Merit in Business http://c4mb.wordpress.com. I recently announced my intention to register a political party to campaign for men’s rights, the nuclear family, and much else. It’s expected that the party will be registered before the end of February 2013, and further details will be published on this site over time. The matter was exclusively revealed by the leading journalist Quentin Letts in his Daily Mail column:

The proposed name of the party was exclusively revealed in an article published by a leading American men’s rights website on 3 February:

I’ve written nine books since 2008, the last three concerned with militant feminism:

Feminism: The Ugly Truth (2012)

This title was published (in ebook editions only) on 13 February 2012. It’s readable on all the major e-readers (Kindle, iPad, iPod, Reader, Nook, Kobo…) – ISBN 9780957168800. It’s also readable on PCs and Macs using free-to-download software from the e-reader retailers (Amazon, Apple, Sony, Barnes & Noble…). The retail prices have been set at £6.95 / US$9.95 / Euro 8.45 but ebook retailers reserve the right to set the actual selling prices.

No date has yet been set for a paperback edition of the book.

The ebook edition contains a sample chapter titled, ‘Would you like to have sex with my wife?’ from my book Two Men in a Car (a businessman, a chauffeur, and their holidays in France), along with the plate section from the book (16 colour photographs taken during the holidays). The paperback edition, if ever published, will not contain the plate section.

The book contains a Foreword penned by the veteran campaigner Erin Pizzey.

The Glass Ceiling Delusion: the real reasons more women don’t reach senior positions (2011)

At long last, someone has taken on the myth of discrimination against women who aspire to senior positions in business, including the boardrooms of major corporations. The Glass Ceiling Delusion demythologizes each of thirty elements the author has identified of the now generally accepted claim that women are discriminated against in the world of white-collar work. Much has been accomplished recently in disclosing the half-truths about women and domestic violence, for example, but Buchanan illuminates an area that other critics of ideological feminism have not considered. Buchanan’s analysis is based partly on his experience of working as an executive for major British and American multinational corporations for over 30 years until 2010. His book should inspire research on settings of corporate power everywhere. Always witty and sometimes even biting in style, Buchanan’s text is grounded in important texts in psychobiology, sociology, history and politics. It is an impassioned yet not angry argument that deserves the careful attention of  policy-makers and a general readership.

Professor Miles Groth PhD, Editor, New Male Studies: An International Journal

The Glass Ceiling Delusion attacks head-on the militant feminist myth that men and women have the same interests and capabilities. Reviewing a wide range of evidence, he shows that the under-representation of women in senior positions in business has nothing to do with discrimination and ‘glass ceilings’, and that attempts to impose quotas are therefore fundamentally flawed. A polemical book with an important message.

Peter Saunders Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Sussex University

Equality of opportunity is a fine thing but equality of outcome is another matter entirely. There is little doubt that men and women have, on average, different talents and interests that make gender quotas in the workplace unfair and impractical. The Glass Ceiling Delusion is a welcome, well-argued addition to the debate about whether women should be pushed up the social ladder just because they are women, and thus at a presumed disadvantage. This is rather an insult to women and Margaret Thatcher, for one, would not have agreed. Individuals should be treated as individuals, not as members of a particular race, class or gender. Whatever the historic injustices, this is the only way that social structures can evolve naturally.

Glenn Wilson Visiting Professor of Psychology, Gresham College, London.

The Glass Ceiling Delusion is an important and brave book, the best book on social economics and society in general published for decades. It’s irresistibly compelling, cogently argued and superbly put together. It should be in all school and college libraries. It should be compulsory reading for social science, economics and politics students. It should be force-fed to male and female politicians. This is definitely a five-star book.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman? (2010)

Mike Buchanan has courageously taken on the radical feminists. For too long this group have dominated the public policy agenda. Pay equality, gender balance in the boardroom, all women shortlists have been given far too much prominence in public life. We needed the other side to be put and in his book Mike Buchanan does just this. His description of the Prime Minister having a ‘female-pattern brain’ is an interesting aspect of David Cameron. Without being insulting it explains some of the current direction of Conservative policy.

The book calls for a fight back against the radical feminists. It deserves to succeed. Women had a long hard justifiable fight to obtain the vote in our democracy (see my book Our Fight for Democracy), but now they have it the radical feminists want special treatment. This is not acceptable, each person’s vote should have an equal value regardless of gender. Manipulating parliamentary candidate short lists to give preference to women is a distortion of democracy and anyone who believes in democracy should oppose it.
