The Men’s Hour Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Men’s Hour?

The Men’s Hour is a response to the sexist BBC’s woman’s hour that is broadcast in the UK every weekday. The BBC maintains that the woman’s hour has “general appeal” and therefore there is no need for a men’s hour. The woman’s hour also covers topics that are men’s issues like father’s rights or male menopause to name two. It always does this from a feminist inclined perspective.

This politically correct attitude seems to be true throughout a lot of the media. Men’s views and rights are often not represented and virulently challenged whenever they do manage to get presented. The Men’s Hour was conceived as an antidote to that. Men’s ideas, for example like shared parenting, are to be put forward and not immediately rubbished by some flimsy or misleading argument.

It is not about hating women. It is about challenging feminists, often these are people who seem to clearly hate men.

Is there any money involved in the Men’s Hour?

We have the same budget as the BBC spends on men’s programmes. Zero.

Who do you represent? Who elected you?

We have as much moral authority as feminists who elect themselves spokesman for all women. We have associations with men’s and father’s organizations but we don’t speak exclusively for any particular group or organisation, but we do speak for those men who feel marginalized and whose voice is not being heard.
