Help us to help Siouxsie

When I wrote my article about the MENZ website a couple of weeks ago, I briefly mentioned John Potter, the site's admin, and his connection to the Centrepoint commune/cult as the son of guru Bert Potter. I provided a couple of links to further information, and mentioned that readers should look into Centrepoint if they weren't already familiar with the details of just how bad things became. Journalist and DeCult conference founder Anke Richter messaged me and suggested that readers might want to read her interview of John Potter, the “absent father” of the MENZ website, that came out in North & South magazine in 2021. It's a fascinating read, and gives some useful background that may help to explain why John runs a men's advocacy website full of misinformation and woman-hating rhetoric.
