ShoutOut is a Men’s Right’s radio show in Bristol in the United Kingdom. It sponsors “Listeners’ Awards” in which listeners can vote for Bigot of the Year. This year, these MRAs have nominated Dr. Janice Raymond, one of the world’s most formost feminist scholars, as “Bigot of the Year.” Dr. Raymond has done more for Women than any of the Men and Women who work for ShoutOut, pictured above, yet she is a “bigot” because she understands that Men are not Women. Dr. Raymond has been the focus of concerted efforts by MRAs to silence her political speech for years.
Interestingly, Finn McKay, a “feminist campaigner” in the UK, is nominated for “Local Hero of the Year.” Finn has demonstrated her loyalty to Men’s Rights Activism by publicly stating that Women who understand biology exists are bigots.
Bigot Of The Year:
James Arthur
Nigel Farge
Vladimir Putin
Janice Raymond
Julie Burchill

To place a respected scholar such as Professor Raymond in the same category as Vladimir Putin just shows how disconnected from reality they really are.
Transgender activists don’t like Julie Burchill and Professor Raymond. Any opinionated woman who doesn’t parrot what transgender activists tell them to say is branded a bigot. Transgender activists are silencing any woman who doesn’t meet with their approval. Silencing uppity women is nothing new. Indeed, it’s been going on for thousands of years.
Apparently, opposing the global trafficking of women and prostitution makes one a candidate for “Bigot Of The Year”. Unlike porn producers who make millions from the sexual exploitation of girls and women, Dr. Raymond has spent her time teaching and writing books. Professor Raymond was also involved in the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. From 1994 to 2007, Raymond served as the co-executive director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, International (CATW), a nongovernmental organization in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Human trafficking is almost as lucrative as illegal drugs. It’s a $35.7 billion business and a human rights violation.
Professor Raymond has written several books on the prostitution and the trafficking of women. Since when has any LGBT group ever spoken out against prostitution? I’m not aware of anything the transgender community has done to address this issue. Their answer is giving out condoms, but not getting prostitutes off the streets or away from the pimps.
In this video, Professor Raymond states unequivocally that she opposes the trafficking and prostitution of any group of people: women, men, children, and transsexuals.

Since we are on the subject of “Bigot Of The Year”, I nominate the male queer activists who were behind the harassment, physical intimidation, threats, and attempted silencing of people at the “Law and Disorder Conference” in Portland, OR.
“A group of five queer activists came up to the table and one of the men began shouting at the women, using aggressive language and threatening gestures. He grabbed and defaced table materials. When one of the women went to protect the materials, he marked her arm and hand as well.”
