Article here. Excerpt:

'Dear men of America: If you have been waiting for your engraved invitation to participate in this march, please consider it delivered. Imagine me slipping an envelope under your door late at night, like a bid to an exclusive social club instead of a public protest. There are conditions on this invitation, however. You will not automatically be put in charge, which might be a shock to some of your systems. You are being invited instead to do what women have done for generations: Show up and ask “What can I do?” You will be put to work.

I am truly sorry that our culture has conditioned you to automatically reject anything branded as a “woman thing,” out of fear of violence and/or social rejection. But now is not the time to be a quiet and passive supporter of women. Perhaps after this march you can have your own painful and necessary dialogues about why you waited for women to organize a powerful show of resistance and then, instead of being grateful for the opportunity to participate, some of you pouted about not having a seat at the planning table. Perhaps you can have your own painful and necessary dialogues about being in thrall to superficial branding over substance, because this march and the movement it is galvanizing are about women’s lives, not our lifestyles, and deserve to be treated with accordant gravity.'

why a lot of men don't support feminism.

I mean, now much more insulting can you get?

Word.Up.

Perhaps the main reason men are not going to the Women's March on Washington has something to do wit the name. As I recall, not many women went to The Million Man March. Probably for the same reason. Oddly, feminists will insist on h@ving "women's spaces" and demand it be considered good and right... and yet when holding an event like this one, out of nowhere launch a shaming attack on men fro *not* trying to be part of an event specif. billed toward the female sex. I have heard about events that have been attended by men that were billed as women's events wherein attendees (female ones) complained that men were involved and when they tried to participate they were accused of trying to take over the event. WTF?

When dealing with feminists, men must understand, there is no winning/pleasing. They refuse to see the bizarreness of their many contradictions nor do they seem capable of any self-examination. The world must cater to them and their demands or else it is evil/etc.

Men I think used to try to be involved in events named "Women's..." at times in the past but learned that despite what they were told, their presence was not appreciated. So they stopped going. The response is then, "Hey, come back!"

Please, ladies, just how *stupid* do you think we are?

Hey, I just noticed in my city they are calling it "womXn's march." They are spelling "women" with an "X" in place of the "e". Even the newspapers are spelling it this way and they claim it is "a way to stress that different forms of discrimination intersect, overlap, and reinforce each other.”

They're not fooling anyone...they spell it this way because they hate men!
