    Race for Life Misandry enshrined in law


    This section replaces and harmonises separate exceptions in previous legislation allowing charities to benefit only people of the same sex, racial group, religion or belief or sexual orientation, and creates new exceptions along these lines for charities benefiting only people of the same age group or with the same disability. This section also replicates the effect of other exceptions for charities in previous discrimination law, and creates a new exception in subsection (7) allowing participation in activities to promote or support charities to be restricted to men or women.
    Examples


    • It is lawful for the Women’s Institute to provide educational opportunities only to women.
    • It is lawful for the RNIB to employ, or provide special facilities for, visually impaired people in preference to other disabled people.
    • A charitable instrument enabling the provision of benefits to black members of a community actually enables the benefits to be provided to all members of that community.
    • It is lawful for the Scout Association to require children joining the Scouts to promise to do their best to do their duty to God.
    • Race for Life, a women-only event which raises money for Cancer Research UK, is lawful.
    • Equality Act 2010 - Explanatory Notes

      anyone on here have any formal legal training and do you think this breaks article 14 of the human rights act
      Article 14 No discrimination | What the rights mean | Liberty - protecting civil liberties, promoting human rights

    I'm away next week but when I get back I'm going to have a go at composing a letter to my local MP regarding race for life if any one wants a copy of the letter to send to their mp I'll put a rtf file for downloading.

    Cancer doesn't discriminate, but Cancer Research UK does.

    It's interesting the Scouting Association is listed in the examples. I wonder if they will be allowed to return to being a boys only organisation? Somehow I doubt it now that the 'equality' genie is out of the bottle.

    Re: Race for Life Misandry enshrined in law

    Given that the Equality Act had to attempt to legalise Race for Life in 2010, the flip side of this is that for the 14 or so years prior to this it was almost certainly operating illegally.

    In many other countries such an event is definitely illegal. E.g. in the US it's acceptable to launch female "pink" themed runs but they cannot bar a man from taking part (and winning).


    Personally I'd like to hear CRUK's response to all other sexist aside from Race for Life. here's nine questions I'd encourage people to email to them at supporter.services@cancer.org.uk



    CRUK claims to be concerned about "The excess burden of cancer in men in the UK" and readily acknowledges how men are 40% more likely to die from cancer, yet so many CRUK activities seem to either ignore this gender gap or actively make it worse. please can you answer the following questions:

    1. If CRUK isn't' biased toward females, then why do they give such undue prominence to cervical cancer on all information pages and on the home page? According to your own stats cancer of the cervix is the 19th most common cancer, yet you effectively class it in the top five and top six by giving it such a high profile. CRUK is shoving 13 other far more prevalent cancers out the way and making information harder to access for more patients than is necessary, not to mention giving a false impression about the prevalence of different cancers.

    2. Why does CRUK fail to offer large print publications for prostate cancer even though these are available for far, far rarer cancers and most female specific cancers? Prostate cancer patients tend to be older and therefore likely to appreciate larger print, and they number 40,000+ anyway so there are bound to be plenty with impaired vision.

    3. Why does CRUK spend twice ask much for every breast cancer patient than each prostate cancer patients and more than three times as much per ovarian cancer patient? Surely such blatant inequalities are at the root of cancer gender gaps and the reason for the lack of understanding of prostate cancer?

    4. Why does CRUK have a dedicated breast cancer campaign, with its own slogan, publicity, fund raising activities, merchandise and comprehensive website but nothing for prostate cancer despite a very similar number of cases and deaths? (with the gap closing rapidly). Even if you aren't willing to fund prostate cancer fairly you should surely at least be putting the same amount of attention into raising awareness or at least be doing something, anything really!

    5. In your defence against sexism you point to your publication pages, yet there isn't a single prostate cancer poster anywhere on the site. Every CRUK activity seems to neglect and ignore prostate cancer. Why is this?

    6. Your cancer chat forums are run by an entirely female staff, many with seemingly gender feminist views. An examination of social media show they only really have an interest in female associated cancers, organisations dealing with such cancers and female cancer patients. Similarly, an examination of the "tags" associated with their posts show no mention of men or male cancers in anything they write. Why do you have so few male or male-friendly staff when cancer is significantly more of a male condition than a female one? Is this pattern of female dominance and sexism repeated throughout the organisation's workforce?

    7. If CRUK is so committed to ending cancer equalities impacting me, why doesn't it have any strategies or plans for doing so, as it does with lesser inequalities affecting other smaller groups such as LGBT people, ethnic minorities and rural dwellers? How can CRUK justify attempting to lecture the government on the gender inequalities in cancer when it does so much itself to perpetuate them?

    8. Why do you information pages have a link to women's cancers but no one for men's cancers? There are actually more cases of cancers unique to men than to women each year (43050 compared to 19343).

    9. Why do so many CRUK adverts either objectify men sexually or encourage violence against men. Again surely this cannot help any gender gaps?

    Re: Race for Life Misandry enshrined in law

    this forum in itself is a testament we guys are surviving in a gynocracy and totalitarian systems only get more constrictive until they consume selected members entirely!

    ask any Boa

    my advice to young men is to avoid accepting any sort of a contract with a wimyn - who typically honour contracts with men in the breach;

    basically wimyn have no honour they just dissemble it whilst it benefits them to do so

    Brilliant! CRUK do not seem to have noticed yet...and they only have themselves to blame when people start to take more radical action against their misandry.

    I expect they will modify the group so photos require approval, but if not we can always add some more if the existing ones get deleted.

    I've said previously how acts, statutes and orders are just legislated rules of society given the force of law by the consent of the governed.

    Such legislation (the colour of law) is discretionary upon the presiding politics and parliament accepting European 'directives.' It is similar to contract law (the legal fiction) which differs greatly from the law of the land (Common law).

    In other words, 'powers' do exist for men to get a fair shake, but like the idea of humanitarianism, the Equality Act 2010 essentially means = white heterosexual men need not apply! Being christian also helps to compound the blind discrimination.

    I like it, it has a catchy ring to it.

    I can promise an encore though other people are encouraged to take action too. Many of these types of organisations are very careless in their work because they think are above criticism and above the law itself.

    Find an organisation that hates men, take a look at their use of social media etc, and use it to expose their gender hatred.

    As John has demonstrated, being more technologically able than the enemy is equivalent to arriving with a massive army to effect a desired outcome while the enemy is still reading the instructions of war.
