Joe Rogan hosts the most listened-to podcast in Britain. In July a relatively unknown British MP got two hours on it. What he was recruiting for should worry every parent, and every woman.

There are societies where rape is almost unknown. Two sets of researchers, forty years apart, found what separates them from ours: hierarchy. Male violence is a setting, not a fact.

$567 million sounds like a punishment. So I did the maths. It's one day of Meta's revenue, 0.9% of a year's profit, and on the median UK salary it works out at £366. A boiler repair, for being legally ruled a public nuisance to children.

He got arrested. The algorithm never did. On the machine still recruiting a generation of boys, and what to do about it today.

Labour has existed for 126 years, calls itself the party of equality, and has never once chosen a woman to lead it. This week it did it again. The reason is the oldest deal in the book: a woman can have power, as long as she doesn’t frighten the men who already have it.

Denmark tops the equality rankings AND Europe’s partner violence table at the same time. It’s called the Nordic Paradox, and it exposes the lie we were sold: that closing the pay gap would stop him hitting her.

They told us we could have it all. The career, the kids, the spotless house, the lot. It was never an offer. It was a workload dressed up as freedom. Here's the con, and what I'm doing about it.

We hand girls a faceless monster and point them at the shadows. We never tell them to look at the lanyard. On the myth that protects the trusted man, and the case that proves it.

 I found two books in a charity shop. One teaches boys how to fight a bull. One teaches girls how to look beautiful tomorrow. Both published well within my lifetime. This is the painting that arrived in one second, and the lifetime of sorting that made it inevitable.

The ban's real. So is every argument against it. Here's what I think of each one, where I'm on shakier ground than I'd like, and why none of it changes my mind.

I’ve been working on this for weeks. I finished it on Monday 15th June 2026. The same day the government finally did something. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

He gets 23 minutes before the algorithm radicalises him. She gets 8 before it tells her she’s not enough. Same machine. Different position.
