This was the big weekend, folks! The weekend of the historic International Male Issues Conference in London!
Wait, that’s not right. International Male is the clothing company with that famous catalog. I meant the International London Men Conference. No, that’s not it either. Oh, wait! The International Conference on Men’s Issues in London. I’m pretty sure that’s it. Catch the excitement on the conference’s official Twitter hashtag!
Now, it’s true that the event this weekend did not draw a ton of media coverage.
Or any, actually: As of Sunday afternoon, a Google News search reveals that the only media outlet, and I use that term loosely, to report on the conference was Breitbart. Last fall. (The conference got a brief mention in the Jewish Chronicle online, and someone mentioned it in a comment on The Guardian’s website.) Indeed, media interest in the event was evidently so tepid that the organizers cancelled their press conference at the last minute.
The lack of media interest might have something to do with the fact that the conference organizers — led by political failure Mike Buchanan of the Justice for Men and Boys party — refused to give out press passes to the event, instead demanding that reporters shell out £265 for the privilege of hearing a bunch of idiots talk nonsense about the supposed oppression of men.
Not even the prospect of getting autographs from “Janet Bloomfield” and/or Paul Elam was enough to lure the media there.
But one wily media outlet was able to sneak a photographer into the event — We Hunted the Mammoth, the very blog you are now reading.
And so I present to you these EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS of ICMI16 from our man in London. Who might possibly be a cat.
Wait, is that Tiger Woods? Sitting next to Rod Stewart? With Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, and Sean Connery behind them? Except that none of them look quite right?
Sorry, folks, I think this is just some picture of a bunch of celebrity impersonators.
Wait, is that Austin Pow…
Never mind, it’s more celebrity impersonators. Besides, I can’t imagine that this many people made it to the ICMI.
All right, that’s just a bunch of dudes dressed as Abraham Lincoln.
And that’s a bunch of people dressed as Albert Einstein. What the hell.
THESE AREN’T EVEN PEOPLE!!11!
I’m beginning to think that our photographer didn’t actually go to the ICMI at all.
Luckily, one Youtube doofus who did attend the conference posted this footage of some of the conference goers milling around awkwardly outside of the venue.

Ah well. At least that’s more than the zero who attended their conference last year.
“And, Mark, if you feel like we wimmens are “weighing you down”, you’re more than welcome to fuck off…”
Right back at cha.
@Jen
That would be an interesting read. Sadly, I think not a few people believe that should be reality but with the genders reversed. The interesting thing about the matriarchal society working in the same way as what we think of as an obviously patriarchal society is that it seems like a fantasy to so many people – because women are “nurturing”, and “caring”, and “not power-hungry”. You’d think we were different fucking species. That manga seems like the most natural and obvious development to me, assuming women were able to get hold of enough power from the remaining men. That’s just what humans like to do.
Waaait a minute.
Mark Minter?
“Are you accusing men of being stupid?”
No – I’m accusing mothers of being the perfect sociopaths in brainwashing their sons into respecting women. I’m accusing mothers of sending their sons out into the world with little to no knowledge of the true nature of women. How do women send their own sons out into the world so defenseless?
What do you women do after a fellow woman divorce rapes and destroys your son’s life through man-hating marriage laws and policies? Pat him on the back and tell him he should have tried harder?
@Mark
Cos David hasn’t blocked you yet…again
Yeah, we should compensate for sexist policies by going completely the opposite way into more sexism.
Men wouldn’t let women serve on the front lines so the right answer is to make women disproportionately serve there? Ummm no. Let willing, qualified, people serve in the roles that are needed.
Perhaps men are too oppressed to attend such conferences. LOL.
Who knows?
P.S. Your kitty photos are always so cute.

Mark mate, be careful with those red pills. You might overdose.
Crap. Too late.
“Men wouldn’t let women serve on the front lines…”
See – I remember it differently. I remember women hailing men as heroes for dying and fighting for women’s rights – gladly staying home so as to not suffer the horrors of battle – calling men cowards for not fighting and dying for women’s rights. I remember the white feather, too.
“Cos David hasn’t blocked you yet…again”
I know right? There’s nothing WRAs hate more than a disturbance in their echo chamber.
I’m a man, btw. Might be hard to tell from my profile pic, I suppose, though I do think there’s a bit of side-burn showing.
Also, you know why people find your ideas about marriage to be so laughable? Because nobody is forcing you to get married, Mark. Like, fuck, man, if you don’t want to get married the simple answer is just to not get married.
@Mark
Are you just copy-pasting this from the MGTOW forums? You need to update your script. I know all this by heart already from every other manbaby ever.
No denial = Good Lord, it is ol’ Minty.
I requested Mike back. Not Mark. Mark. Mark is too boring.
Although I have to admit to getting a good chuckle out of the whole men are naive because their evil mothers brainwashed them into not being misogynists.
Is Mark saying that men are inherently woman haters? Because most MRAs claim that they didn’t want to be misogynists, it’s just that our feeemaale evil forced them into it.
@ mark
Are you a Time Lord?
There is no way Mark would be this ignorant if he were a Time Lord.
Time Lords also tend to be more entertaining. Mark just keeps recycling his tired old assertions without proof.
Ok, ok. I’m a MGTOW. Feel really sorry for the MRAs. Why? Why barter with women for men’s rights? Men fought and died for both men’s and women’s rights. Men earned their rights – women did not. Women just rode the backs of men for their rights. Why not just make women fight for their own rights and give women what they want – the end of marriage? I don’t get it. Marriage is the place where most men are beaten down and destroyed. I don’t understand why men don’t just give women the military and no-marriage. If anything – it sure would teach them a good lesson. MRAs just don’t understand how badly they’re being played by WRAs and their cucked white knights. What’s worse, a new generation of cucked males is being sent out into the world in ever increasing numbers by sociopathic mothers that support the cucking and life destruction of their own sons.
I just don’t get why most men can’t see this. I guess gynocentric programming is just too powerful for most men.
Taking industrial work, support positions in the military and even the white feather were because those were the only roles offered to support the war effort. You have to go to the USSR in WWII to get women in front line combat and the Germans were appalled by it. They sent young boys into battle in the last stages of the war because the men running the country couldn’t think of arming women.
Wonder how many of those poor sad bastards asked that idiot Andrea Whosit to sign their copies of her book? Two? Three? As many as five? Well done, everybody.
He could be that ignorant if he’d been turned into a statue in Rassilon’s tower.
@IP:
I’m convinced now that they get form letters and are advised to never break from said script under any circumstances. There’s just too much evidence that supports the theory.
And they say that feminists and feminist-supporters are brainwashed or “programmed”… hah!
Also, enough is enough. A joke is fine and all but all of you women who are chasing Mark around demanding to marry him just need to back off. Let the poor dude live out his life His Own Way.
Dude, you came here.
It’s like walking uninvited into someone’s house and when they tell you to leave, you go “NO U!”
You’re in someone else’s space, Marky. Specifically a space meant for women. Women you think are “sociopaths” and who are out for your blood or some shit.
I know it’s kind of hard to see past your massive “men own and built everything, but we’re so persecuted, boo hoo hoo!” brand Martyr Complex, but you came here to be a deliberate jackass, and quite frankly, you suck at it.
So, if women bug you so much, GTFO and stop going into women’s spaces to screech about how fucking oppressed you think you are. No one here thinks your “thoughts” are worth the electricity you consumed to type them up.
Ooh, good point, pitshade. Though I’m not sure that explains why Mark doesn’t know about the suffragettes who died fighting for the right of women to vote.
