Feminism is not about equality and never has been, yet Feminists will endlessly insist that it is.
At the suggestion of a friend to this site (thank you, Eincrou), here is a recent comment from a Feminist (really, she called herself “A Feminist”) on this video and my response to her.
[A Feminist]:
“I’m sure I’m going to get the “angry man-hating feminist” title for commenting here, but your perception of feminism is absolutely skewed. How can you say you’ve done any research on feminism at all when you are so clearly unaware of what feminism stands for?
I can’t speak for all of the feminists, but all of the ones I network with on various sites do not believe they are superior to men, or deserve better or more than men. What we want is equality, the same freedoms and freedom to choose and determine our own lives as men have.
We do not hate all men, by any means. I’m sorry that you’re so wildly misguided about what we want in this world (which I’ll remind you, isn’t more than what men have) that you’ve made it your personal mission to spread inaccurate information to men who aren’t going to dedicate nearly as much time to vilifying feminists as you have. Unfortunately, they’re going to believe you, which is sad, because you’re painting all women, and all feminists, as man-haters who want special privileges.
You’ve presented this all like you’re honestly trying to clarify things and don’t see women as any less. But in your introduction video you say one thing that gives it all away: “Women are too stupid to see it.” You believe that women are stupid. And that’s the truth of it all. All I have left to say is that I pity you and your small-mindedness about this.”
[Me]:
I have written an article previously that partially addresses your points, but I will be posting a new article or film in due course covering the gist of what you say here: Not all Feminists are like that / Feminism is misunderstood / You just have a problem with women etc
For now, to address your points:
1) “How can you say you’ve done any research on feminism at all when you are so clearly unaware of what feminism stands for?”
Feminism stands for increasing female power. Indefinitely. Forever. With no end point. This article addresses this fact comprehensively.
Feminism will never stop furthering the cause of women, irrespective of the true position of women in society and certainly regardless of the position of men.
Feminism is the pursuit of female-supremacy. Where women would be regarded as an actually superior class of human. And what is a glimpse of what this might mean? For starters, how about closing women’s prisons because women (by virtue of being women) shouldn’t go to prison for their crimes?
Equality, indeed.
I would suggest that you are the one who is unaware of what feminism truly represents. The tired mantra of what Feminism supposedly stands for is not borne-out by reality. A Feminist who fails to understand the virulent gynocentrism that they sign-up to, is simply a ‘useful idiot‘.
My own example would be, that you are like a hardworking but dense woman from Germany, 1938 who might say: “As a woman and Nazi party member. I tell you that, as the manifesto clearly says, Nazi’s stand only for fair rights for Germans and certainly not Aryan supremacy”.
Feminism is a hate-crime against men. It creates all-manner of lies about men, and the nature of men and our social history, in order to falsely paint men as oppressors and abusers of women. This is simple male-hatred, as is the very idea of patriarchy.
The big pretence is that Feminism is all about the pursuit of equality. It’s nothing of the sort. For one thing, equality between men and women is impossible to define let alone achieve.
There are no freedoms that men possess that women don’t. On the other hand, there are responsibilities that men have that women don’t, such as Selective Service in the USA and conscription in the UK. Yet, in their pursuit of equality, no Feminists march for the right to Selective Service.
Feminists want equal outcomes rather than equal opportunities.
For example, when a Feminist looks at the Olympic men’s 100m race and sees that all the finalists are black men, what might she think?
Must be discrimination going on…
Well, if she applies her own Feminist mentality on outcomes to it, she will inevitably think that this means that white athletes must be discriminated against and so we must have government programs to assist white men in athletics.
And perhaps chastisements and punishments against black athletes for oppressing white athletes by being faster than them.
No.
Certain black athletes are faster than the rest and that’s the end of it. Trying to get a different outcome can only be achieved if one attempts to fix the results. And that’s what Feminism is all about: tilting the playing field and destroying any semblance of fairness in order to create equal outcomes.
Feminists are entirely fixated on genitalia and fail to see reality. They look at congress or parliament and see that it’s mostly men, Therefore, she thinks, women are discriminated against in politics. It doesn’t matter that 65% of the US electorate is female. It doesn’t’ matter how many VAWAs, Title IX’s or other women’s’ programs are created by congress (mostly men, remember) for women. If the person signing these misandric acts into law is not female, well, there is discrimination against women.
Women are currently 55% of university entrants in the UK. What do Feminists do? Do they demand equality and insist on a reduction in female numbers or an increase in male students? No, they demand more help for women in education and further afield. And they will continue to do this even when female numbers are 70%. Or 80%. Or 90%. Should it ever be 100%, Feminists, such as yourself will no doubt campaign for more universities to be built, so that no woman might be denied an education in our oppressive patriarchy…
2) “you’re painting all women, and all feminists, as man-haters who want special privileges”
All Feminists want special privileges over men and my arguments apply to women and men who are Feminists. Some Feminists are out-and-out man-haters and the rest just go along for the ride. As I’ve said, useful idiots.
They won’t advocate killing men like some Feminists, or describe all men as rapists like other Feminists. But they will do a 5k run for women’s cancer research even though men’s health funding for prostrate cancer is 100 times lower than women’s funding for breast cancer.
So these women won’t advocate actively doing away with men, but they will do nothing about men dying much earlier than they should.
It would never occur to these women to run for male cancers.
Male cancers or the lack of funding for them, or anything like equality in health funding, is not an issue for Feminists; only issues that affect women concern them.
Feminists just want equality. That’s why they run the Race for Life
This is what I mean about Feminism never stopping in it’s pursuit of female power and female privilege. It doesn’t’ matter what the score is between men and women, they always want more for women.
3) “you say one thing that gives it all away: “Women are too stupid to see it.” You believe that women are stupid. And that’s the truth of it all.”
With respect to women who adopt Feminism, they are indeed stupid. To say that “women are too stupid to see it” out of context as you have done here, is unsupportable and is a misrepresentation of my material. This is a typical Feminist tactic to divert attention from the issue at hand,
So, why do I say that women have been “stupid” regarding Feminism?
Well, we regard animals as possessing a lower order of intelligence than people. But could you imagine female elephants, for example, being stupid enough to start believing that male elephants oppress them? And have always oppressed them ever since there have been elephants?
Could you imagine female elephants putting their faith and trust in humans to keep them safe from their males in the same way that women put their faith and votes in big government to protect them from men? (It’s a strange analogy, I know, but I only have the other creatures on Earth to work with).
If a female elephant could laugh she would trumpet her amusement at such a preposterous idea.
Even elephants know better than Feminists
Yet, even though elephants, monkeys, dogs, cats, mice (and any other creature we regard as less intelligent than us) would surely laugh, women have signed up to it, bought the t-shirt and are coming back for more with smiles on their faces.
In the final analysis, Feminist women believe that government is their friend and men are their enemy. As long as that holds true for the majority of women, so does the statement “women are too stupid to see it”.
You, like all Feminists, are only perpetuating a needless and despicable sex-war because you are either too stupid to understand what it’s all about, or you are complicit in the ultimate aim of Feminism: female supremacy.
4) “I pity you and your small-mindedness about this”
Rather than pity me, perhaps do something to show me I’m wrong.
- Show me a Feminist who has made a donation to avoiceformen, or Everyman or Mankind.
- Show me a Feminist website advocating equality in education or military duty.
- Show me a Feminist who has demanded a Minister for men or a Council for men and boys.
I won’t hold my breath.
There are no feminists aboard sinking ships.
Well done, MWM.
You know, even equality of outcome is now out of date.
To be sure, they want equality of outcome when they can’t compete. But where they can, they want the domain to be exclusively theirs.
Currently it’s Woman >= Man. Pretty soon they’ll want Woman > Man.
Then one day it’ll be Woman >> Man.
Why could that happen? Because men are excluding themselves from business and from higher education. Men are building more prisons for themselves, and recruiting more amongst themselves to put themselves into prison.
Men are destroying themselves. That’s how feminism is winning.
There is a lot to be fixed amongst men, true.
But the attack on men begins early, on boys, before they even have a chance to become men.
Aside from that, we have toxic ideology at the heart of government. The shit is raining down hard, from a great height.
I heard Obama say some things here regarding the importance of infrastructure – roads and railways – to America’s recovery. Obviously, these are jobs done exclusively by men. Yet, he diverted stimulus funds to women because of pressures on him and his own leanings as well.
The point, is that it is men and men alone who can lead America out of the hole it’s in and yet, even in these dire circumstances, he has deliberately and with clear forethought, chosen not to do the right things by men. THAT is how powerful Feminism has become. It can force a nation to chop off it’s own feet at precisely the time it needs to be running the fastest.
This is the amazing achievement of Feminism, and its legacy. A Pyrrhic victory on a grand scale, and the worst is yet to come.
The feminist “equality” does not mean equality as we think of it. It means, Communism.
I’m a (somewhat) left-wing anti-feminist and I have to say I’m really tired of other MRA’s comparing to feminism to communism. I’m not defending communism, it’s just not a valid comparison to make. Marx said “Each according to his abilities, each according to his needs. Fire departments hire women DESPITE their abilities or lack thereof. The men’s rights movement is a non-partisan one and people alienate possible left-wing allies when they compare feminism to communism because it makes us all sound like tea-baggers, harkening back to the days of senator McCarthy.
Feminist “equality” is gender neutralizing. Feminists want to eliminate the gender specifications of the society and they are suggesting that as equality, but actually they are eliminating the natural femininity of women.
Somehow im not really seeing how taking one extreme viewpoint is much better than the other.
You havent recognized the obvious motivations, and differences of people. You cant put the responsibility of how some people act on their gender.
Succombing to generalized stereotypes instead of reinventing how we see the issues each sex is struggling with.
No women filters her thoughts, actions or way of behaving through a filter with a big glowing WOMAN on it, people plain and simply act the way they want, inspite of what nature or their surrounding depicts.
The world has much much much injustice, but the injustice towards men, and women, are mostly based on the choices each person takes for themselves. Its not something that can be easily adressed.
Really you guys are emasculating yourself when you chose to make a whole gender your enemy, and create this childish Us Vs. Them game.
If you read this website and switch Man with woman whenever possible, the site basically remains as “true” as it is now.
We are all people. Everyone has their jerk sides, their double standards, faulty ethics. Once you start raising yourself over someone else, you are really lowering yourself.
You cant argue with statistics and numbers, but sometimes you have to consider if they arent really just a fact of how the world is. Its a fact that women(and men, occasionally) falsely accuse others of rape, and its a fact that men(and women, often) commits rape. That is simply how the world works based on the choices of the individual.
You cant draw conclusions on either gender based on that.
If the punishments, rewards or possibilities for any group of people is lesser or grander than anothers, then that is the issue, and by all means something that should be stabilized.
I will not dismiss that men are often branded as mindless sex beasts, but that is the stereotype that men must fight. Just as women are figting the stereotype of being weak and superficial.
A part of me feels almost convinced that even a simple arguement such as this will be dismissed simply because i called myself a Genderneutral. But i do not discriminate or opinionate based on gender. I cant see how anything could be more futile.
I don’t know how others would dismiss you, but my dismissal comes from those arguments being good, old-fashioned bogus.
I don’t believe for a second that you have no views, beliefs, preconceptions or ideas about people that have to do with their sex. You say “we are all people,” as if you’re a double-standard-having jerk along with us lowly rubes, but then later claim you’re a god-like creature who doesn’t have any sex-based opinions. Give me a break.
You’ve bought into the intellectually bankrupt idea that generalizing based on the criterion of sex is an illegal move and cannot be done legitimately.
The arguments put forward are based on the erroneous belief that humans are “blank-slates” upon which society projects stereotypes. Stereotypes are referenced often in your post, but they don’t explain nearly as much as you think.
In short, you are not prepared to discuss any of these issues with us. Come back when you’re ready to talk about the actual, specific, real live issues MWM covers. We’re not interested in vague new-age pep talks laden with clichéd platitudes.
Firstly, when you say: “Really you guys are emasculating yourself when you chose to make a whole gender your enemy, and create this childish Us Vs. Them game.”, you really miss the point of everything I stand for. There is nothing whatsoever, in anything here or in the documentary that even suggests that I (or the wider men’s movement) is choosing to make “a whole gender” the enemy.
My sub-heading for this site is “Truth, Lies and the War on Men” but it could also easily be: “In the battle of the sexes there was never meant to be a winner; only two losers”.
For you to characterise anything at all here as encouraging a gender-war or making out women to be the enemy, you simply have not taken on board the arguments made. You therefore appear to be a person who has not read or watched anything here with an open mind, or perhaps you have been directed here by a Feminist friend of yours who saved you the trouble of judging the material for yourself and just told you; “Hey, check out this misogynistic site. He blames women for everything!”
But, looking beyond your misrepresentation of this site, I have had countless discussions with people about sex-differences and their importance, nature-vs-nurture, socialisation, stereotypes, even down to the minutia of the misuse of the word “gender”, when the correct word in most cases is “sex”.
The end-point that makes the most sense and correlates most closely with the world around us, is always the same: biology matters. To believe that we have transcended our sex is complete folly.
At the risk of generalising your view too broadly, I’d say you appear to be promoting the ‘people are all the same and why can’t we all just get along‘ argument. I may be wrong about your specific thoughts, but in this case, it really doesn’t matter
What matters, is what is happening in the world around us, the reasons behind those things, and what those things mean for my son, for example. The issues of sex, that you appear to believe is not relevant or important, is the driving force behind legislation that discriminates against men deliberately, and with malice. It is happening because they are men and only because they are men..
When you say: “No women filters her thoughts, actions or way of behaving through a filter with a big glowing WOMAN on it”, I could not disagree more. This mode of thought is enabled, encouraged and legislatively supported in our Feminised times.
We have entire government departments and UN missions that look at issues “through a filter with a big glowing WOMAN on it”.
Judges are instructed to apply more lenient sentencing to women “through a filter with a big glowing WOMAN on it”
The Ministry of Justice is considering the permanent closure of all women’s prisons in the UK “through a filter with a big glowing WOMAN on it”
In short, you may think sex-differences are not the issue, but the people who are doing everything in their power to turn men into a legal underclass (namely Feminists), and who are making remarkably good progress in that aim, certainly do think sex is an issue. In fact, they think it’s the only issue.
“Really you guys are emasculating yourself when you chose to make a whole gender your enemy, and create this childish Us Vs. Them game. “
For Your Information: the Us v. Them game is Feminism v. Non-feminism.
Got that?
Now, come back at me and tell me once again that I am “making a whole gender the enemy.”
Prove that I am doing this.
And. . . the correct word is SEX. Not “gender”. Okay?
Do you honestly believe that MRAs created the whole chlidish us versus them game?
We did not choose to make an entire gender our enemy, femenism did that.
Delusional is not strong enough a word.
I would like to add my comment is more general to the site than this article in question.
This article just seems to be the smartest on the site so far.
Regardless of how the Author thinks his definition of feminism is more valid than others.
Also as a sidenote, i forgot to mention…
Support for curing cancer and whatnot should be equally government funded, but the funds other than that is the resposibility of the members and people working within the orginazation. If men arent seeing as good results as women there im sure the problem isnt that women are stealing the money from men, but rather that they have better people working for them.
Maybe men should get better at promoting the importance of healthy cancerfree balls.
Because that right there looks like a marketing issue. Im sure its also harder to get support for Rectal diseases than pink-fluffy-unicorn syndrome or body-part-basically-everyone-is-obssesed-with aka breast cancer.
Something like that isnt a issue we can adress, because there are no rules keeping Testiculiar cancer back. They have the freedom to promote their cause as much as they want.
You just gave yourself away here, but were so caught up in your moral posturing that you missed it.
You start from the premise that support should be equally given, but then acknowledge that there are people violating your principle by working towards only women’s benefit.
What is the solution you offer for this unequal circumstance? Do you admonish these people for being “sexist” and demand they open their hearts to the plights of men?
NO! As usual, it’s men’s fault.
I bet you really do think you’re a ‘genderneutral’. The problem is you’re too dim to see your own prejudices and inconsistencies. Fortunately, I am not. Now that I’ve alerted you to your failure in adhering to your own stated standards, will you correct your views? We’ll soon see just how honest and morally upstanding you are.
I want to add one more thing to my debunking of Riley:
She says (I don’t know what Riley’s sex is, but hey, it doesn’t matter to him anyways) men should get better at promoting testicular cancer.
What does she think pointing out the funding disparities is? In any world not relentlessly gynocentric, appealing to “equality” ought to be the only thing we have to say. This would certainly be the case in an egalitarian society, much less a “male-run” society.
But, for some reason, it doesn’t work. Even a self-professed equalist like Riley takes pointing out the inequality not as a call to action in and of itself, but as men whining.
He reveals that she doesn’t actually care about equality by his failure to immediately take up the cause in the name of creating balance. She leaves it up to men to do it.
Shouldn’t equalist women have just as much stake in creating an equal society? Or do they only care about invoking ‘equality’ when it serves them? Has Riley inadvertently proven MWM correct?
I believe it has.
Impressive argument and even more impressive mixing of pronouns!
Yes. The Pronouns. Amusing. Thought I was losing my mind for a moment.
I never comment on websites or blogs. Felt this was necessary.
Plus, good site, keep it up. Mind opening material. Knowing all of this to be true, what is one left to do?
Also, have you read solvemygirlproblems, or the writings of “Shark”? What are your thoughts on such material?
I’m finding these sites, and the few like yours, to be very informative and useful; even highly applicable with daily interaction.
Good job, as they say.
“A part of me feels almost convinced that even a simple arguement such as this will be dismissed simply because i called myself a Genderneutral.”
Not at all, you raised good points in your posts.
My 2 cents on this movement:
The feminist movement is a tool that was created and funded for social upheaval. The feminists themselves fall into three camps- the first are those who have an ego/identity problem and are at war with nature; the masculinity of men which they covet and the femininity of women which they abhor. The second are the useful idiots who believe the movement is about some kind of social justice which they ignorantly define as ‘equality’. The last are simply those who profit from its existence.
There can NEVER be “equality” between the sexes because men and women are not the same! The battle that is being waged against masculine men and feminine women, against nature, sex roles, and respect for sex differences, is a battle to weaken the species below the top; to cage and eliminate strong aggressive men who might get in the way, reduce the population to be managed, and to prepare free societies for despotic change.
We are seeing at the ‘commoner’ level via such things as the IMF to select politicians to the propaganda seen in the movies and TV a transformation from a natural patriarchy into an artificial matriarchy. Does anyone truly believe that this upheaval, now magically seen in every modern country, came about because of the words of Gloria Steinem, or was born from the pages of Betty Friedan’s book?
Well said.
1. disenfranchise men, take away their purpose in society
2. replace fathers by the state
3. indoctrinate the children
4. harvest soulless obedient consumer units.
Gender Neutral? WTF…
Someone please tell me I’m seeing things here. This is obviously Feminism at work. Let’s all design a new breed of social experiments and call them Gender Neutrals, therefore making our jobs as feminists that much easier because that’s another portion of society that won’t cause us any headaches or get in our way.
Last time I checked I had a penis between my legs which makes me male and a man. That is my SEX and not my gender. Balls to PC dick heads the world over as far as I’m concerned, they have caused enough damage already.
About the cancer run thing.
I thought the same thing, what with all the pink, but I think their running for all cancers not just women’s cancers.
I get this kind of comment a lot, mostly via youtube and email rather than here. I think there is a presumption in some people that I pull this stuff out of thin air and post it just for fun.
The fund raising from specific women-only charity runs goes specifically to women-only cancers.
Why do you think it’s open to women-only?
Why do you think the Everyman charity, for example, is also doing runs specifically for testicular cancer and prostrate cancer? Why aren’t they running for all cancers when the girls, you helpfully inform me, are contributing so generously to male cancers with their own running?
Why do you think that there is a breast-cancer awareness month and charity running events along with it? Should we just drop the word “breast” and pretend it’s for all cancers?
Do you think the fundraising is a nice even split between male and female cancers?
Do you think that Cancer Research spends evenly or remotely fairly on these cancers?
Do you think that my only reason for saying these things is not to do with several years of research into the nasty business of misandry in health funding and further afield, but is simply an oversight on my part, a mistake that you have stepped in to correct?
The facts that I assert were confirmed by a medical sociologist I interviewed some years ago. He wrote this book and he appears in the film on Health due soon. Now in terms of what the website will say the money goes towards, that’s a different matter. Obfuscation goes a long way, and there aren’t too many people trying to see past the BS.
I note you have nothing else to say except to point out an alleged error. Thanks for your input.
Has anyone attended feminist classes? If yes, take a hard copy(printed material) of what the idiot in the class barks, Cut the word men , male, patriarchy, so on and so forth. Replace it with any race,culture, religion you like(NO OFFENCE TO ANY PERSON), and then see how racist it sounds. Try it sometime.
I think the only solution is to segregate men and women like the Zentraedi race in Macross. You laugh, but I see that none of the MRA solutions are working. If MRA’s will not use coercion, force, or any other immoral or dishonest means to secure a victory (which I suppose, is honorable), how do they expect to defeat an adversary who uses all of the aforementioned tactics and then some?
I’m out. I’m officially done with Feminism and the Men’s Right’s Movement. One group consists of a bunch of whiny, self-entitled miscreants, and the other, a group of REAL men who don’t realize they’re fighting a losing battle. Men will NEVER win as long as they need women for sex and reproduction. I’m going my own way. Both of your groups would do well to stay away from me.
It’s not a matter of ‘winning’, it’s a matter of telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
We inevitably need women for sex and reproduction, unless you have any alternative suggestions which I would be very interested in hearing.
I thought this picture was pretty good. Ran into it on a website somewhere:
http://chzragecomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/rage-comics-fluttershy.jpg
Feminists….always comparing apples and oranges….(or men and women)
Loved that!
Actually our arguments are correct and feminists have no answers. But the problem is sexual hypocrisy of the majority of population does not allow to defeat feminism.
Highly recommended read -> http://www.menweb.org/femexpos.htm . Explains fundamental issue with male/female cultural influence, and social dynamics of hardline masculine (fascist) and feminine (feminist) fundamentalism.
Worthwhile reading to the end of it for balanced, mature gender-responsible social awareness for both sexes. Simple and IMHO, valid for all stakeholders, but particularly feminists
I made a list off the top of my head of all the things we men face today in the artifically forced feminist world. I wasn’t sure where to put it so I thought I’d share it here:
-Men have to deal with more than 40 years of affirmative action, quotas, and set asides for women only in the workplace, politics, and in school. To add insult to this the contradictory term “equal opportunity / affirmative action” is often employed as cover.
-Men have to deal with the lowering and outright elimination of standards (and common sense), affirmative action and ‘gender-norming’ to get women into male professions (where male biological advantages are needed most) such as the military, police, and fire departments.
-Men have to deal with extremely hostile environments on college campuses with propaganda, altered text books, revisions of history, feminist teachers, and unbalanced policies specifically designed to punish men and exonerate women.
-Boys have to deal with teaching methods and rules in school that favor girls over them.
-Boys are being drugged to prevent/deal with normal male behavior; male behavior that is now defined as abnormal and even offensive.
-Women enjoy an enormous number of support groups, financial aid and training programs which includes massive international initiatives through the UN and IMF. Men do not.
-Anti-male messages are everywhere on TV, in movies, in commercials, on the news, comic books, greeting cards, t-shirts, etc. Men must be showcased as inferior in masculine traits and whenever possible displayed as traditionally feminine.
-Outrageous sycophant pro-feminist messages are everywhere on TV, in movies, in commercials, on the news, comic books, greeting cards, t-shirts, etc; women can do anything a man can do, women are equal to if not better than men, a woman who strives to be equal to a man lacks ambition, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, and on and on. Women must be showcased as superior to men in areas of strength, toughness, intellect- (masculine traits), while avoiding or even disparaging traditional femininity and motherhood.
-Men have to deal with their natural desire for a woman’s body being redefined as ‘sexist’, and ‘objectifying’ etc. At the same time women acting like men is deemed as progressive and empowering.
-Animal shows, including insects, fish, and mammals disguised as factual are falsely interpreted to imply male inferiority.
-Bogus science articles implying male inferiority, obsolesces or even male extinction are proudly and enthusiastically displayed throughout the media.
-Men are forced to deal with anti-male sexual harassment laws; laws and policies that are so outrageous that normal behavior is suspect and guilt can be assigned based not on fact, or intent, but “feeling”.
-Men are forced to deal with anti-male domestic violence laws; this area alone is worthy of a revolution. Not only can men no longer be men in their own homes they cannot even act and react as human. Indeed even “aggressive arguing” and “shouting” can now be used as justification for a man to be arrested and sent to jail.
-Men are forced to deal with anti-male custody laws including the use of restraining orders, unreasonable child support, lack of visitation rights, and assumptions of guilt based on accusation only.
-Women enjoy anti-male battered woman syndrome protection which in some cases has allowed women to get away with murder.
-Women have a right to privacy, men do not; women have successfully sued their way into men’s bathrooms, locker rooms, clubs, etc. Women have the right to not be searched by male officers, to not be guarded by male guards etc. The reverse is not true for men.
-Women and girls have a right to play on male sports teams while men and boys may not play on theirs. In fact women have not only successfully sued their way onto male sports teams but have successfully sued for damages when they’ve been hurt.
-Women have a right to self defense, indeed they have a right to assault and battery (often deemed empowering), men do not. Culturally it is acceptable for a woman to hit a man, and not only do most men believe they don’t have a right to hit a woman under any circumstance they’ve even been conned into believing they don’t have the right to defend themselves.
-Women have the right to make accusations and then not to have to face the one they’ve accused, men do not.
-Women have the right to make false charges and not face any consequences.
-Women have the right to have their identity protected, men do not.
-Women have the right to have female only clubs, men do not.
-Women’s health issues are given far more attention, funding, and care than men’s health issues.
-Women’s special rights and support mechanisms are in place and enforced from start to finish; in school, in colleges, in the workplace, in the courts, by the government, and in the home. The media and entertainment industries do everything in their power to support this agenda every step of the way.
* The final insult to men is that all of this, the entire gigantic apparatus, is simply ignored with a bunch of exhausting talk on how women have ‘proven’ themselves, exploded the ‘myths’, and are where they are because of merit.
Phew!
Well put together list of items. Very, very accurate.
Thanks for sharing it here.
That list is superb, and also shows unassailably why democracy has a life-cycle, after which a feminist police state follows. There is no other outcome possible from democracy.
Misandry follows democracy just as grey hair follows youth.
MWM,
Have you thought about going to Kickstarter, to get funding for your films?
http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/film%20&%20video?ref=sidebar
A lot of little documentaries have gotten $10,000 in funding from crowdsourced donations. You could apply. Even for films you already made, you can say you need $5000 to ‘polish it up’ or ‘update it for 2012′.
Or if another MRA is doing another film, you can point him there.
“You, like all Feminists, are only perpetuating a needless and despicable sex-war because you are either too stupid to understand what it’s all about, or you are complicit in the ultimate aim of Feminism: female supremacy.”
Sex-war. To me that’s the easiest thing to say about feminism: there’s just no question at all that feminism has created acrimony between the sexes. And how could there be any question at all that acrimony between the sexes represents a fundamental neurosis in any society? It’s the most profound sickness that could exist, and if it went far enough–obviously, no more society.
