So, nobody here has anything to say about this? I know we let many articles go without comment, but this is something that I think should warrant some dialogue. At the very least, doesn't anyone want to debate the author's presumption about men's motives in doing what he indicts us of doing? You can't exactly deny the historical facts, but I'm rather surprised that no one here wants to argue his contention that men are insanely jealous of women for menstruating. I suppose the silence could come from finding the article so preposterous that it's not worth commenting on. But, in the past, that attitude hasn't seemed to stop many of us from responding anyway.
I'm not trying to cause trouble. I'm just a little disturbed that such a damning polemic is simply going to go without comment - as if we all agree.

This article was written by someone who clearly has issues with his own masculinity. I don't buy any of his theses, and I abhor such shaming.

silence does not necessarily imply tacit agreement – it could be that commentators are VERY busy attempting to address and correct the thousand other assumptions and injustices of gender, and often cannot refute every ill-informed opinion
some folks are so busy they have no time left over for minor distractions – like a job, a steady roof over their heads, a relationship, or putting bread on their tables – assuming they have tables
some folks spend most of their waking hours working on these issues, for which they are not compensated monetarily – in fact they are guaranteed to be shunned, derided and impoverished
this piece is so full of misconceptions, twisted non-historical assumptions, truths intertwined with absurdities, and subtextual neo-goddess cant that it’s not worth the time – ya gotta pick yer spots, otherwise abraxas effectiveness suffers – not to mention the rest of creation
i could dissect and refute nearly every statement the nutty perfesser makes – it’d take four or five hours, but i choose to use that time to work on even more pressing aspects of our current cultural psychosis
additionally, i have already addressed many of the myths that mr. womb-envy asserts, in other posts on this site
i have also addressed some of these matters on my own site, and will soon be adding more – if i can steal forty or fifty hours away from other “duties”
but since you’re so insistent, briefly:
mr. chivalry suggests that the taliban “are terrified of women” – this is meant to incite women and shame men – it’s a transparent attempt at agitprop that’s devoid of subtlety – he needs to study his fem mentors more closely in this area – a session with jivin joe goebbels would also refine his tactics
the conflict between america and islam indeed is rooted in gender, but the perfesser has not done enough homework to understand why, when, or how – and even if he had, he has not the gonads to state it publically
the islamic world, including extremist elements, are terrified of OUR women, not their own, as i’ve discussed elsewhere – muslims are well aware that the degeneration of american culture over the past three decades is the direct result of the loss of authentic masculine leadership, and its replacement by lunacy led by the most selfish, unconscious, vile elements of the feminine, and by weak, servile fem-men – like our esteemed author
to address merely one other mindturd in the piece, mr. america asserts that women invented agriculture
this is not, and cannot be, proven by the archaeological record – there is some iconographic evidence that could be interpreted as suggesting it, but by no means is it a proven fact -- nor is there wide agreement amongst scholars worldwide on the question, despite assertions by gimbutas and others
even the cretan and catal huyuk digs leave the issue very much in doubt
masculinity, fatherhood, “patriarchy,” and male-led religious systems are indeed distancing reactions of individuation against female power following the extensive gynocratic periods – even so, they are infants beside the duration of the various matriarchal stages, which relied not on the socio-political abstractions and institutions of “patriarchy” for coercive power, but rather on unquestioned psychological assumptions of inherent female superiority – i.e., deification
woman was man’s first god, and for many men, like the absentminded perfesser, she still is
consciousness, technology, the scientific method, and reliance upon a deity NOT based on earth and earth-power are all methods by which the masculine distinguishes itself from the overwhelming dominance of the feminine (great mother, later goddess), and by which humanity begins to reach for the heavens, both in spiritual and technological terms
masculinity is a very late, and still tenuous, development in the psycho-social evolution of the species
it is not an overstatement to say that masculinity invented itself, and for very good reason – but that’s a long story – to sum, masculinity, secret brotherhood societies (including shamanic fraternities and the various priesthoods), and other forms of collective male bonding grew from extended gynocratic conditions in which males were considered equivalent to beasts – the “egalitarianism” and “idyllic peacefulness” of pre-historic groups is a fantasy of modern feminist “advocacy scholarship” (read: propaganda)
most modern religious systems, by the way, are not patriarchal, but simply “led” by males who serve occult female interests – your government is a good secular example, and as for ecclesiastics, please delve into the underpinnings and sources of christianity
christianity is overwhelmingly based on paleolithic – and even late neolithic – sacrificial son/lover rites, whose central feature was the shedding of young male blood to propitiate and feed thirsty mother earth and her priestesses
christianity, in both essence and practice, is a disguised pagan rite, in the tradition of attis, adonis, eshmun, bata, tammuz, dionysus, ad infinitum
like american culture, christianity is a crust of “patriarchal” sugarcoating laid over a core matrix of gynocentrism -- the same reason the churches are full of women is the same reason the rites of dionysus, for example, were attended and maintained overwhelmingly by women
christianity’s central symbol is a male nailed to a cross, for god’s sake (hee hee) – the cross is the intersection of space/time, i.e., the MATERial world
mr. perfesser is just another mad cow disguised as a male – don’t take him as seriously as he takes himself – he’s doing what is required to be allowed a career in academic femamerica
etc. etc. and it’s much more complicated and truly fascinating, but i gotta move on now
feel better, senor hawth?

This individual does, indeed, have serious issues with his masculinity. I always make a point of standing tall, as a man, for being a man, and the overwhelming majority of women, including most lesbians that I know, respect me for it.
The author of this article is a sorry, pathetic unman.

Yes, I feel better - thank you, remarksman. Actually, although I'm glad I incited you to write an essay (because I liked reading it and it taught me some new stuff), I really wasn't asking for something that much. Even just a knee-jerk response would have been fine. I simply felt that NO response at all was a little...too little.

I know he's damn pathetic. Someone who isn't worth his...erm...semen. :) I remember an anecdote about a femi-Nazi astronomer who HATED to use the word "Big Bang" to describe the creation of the Universe...she said it reminded her too much of a [disgusting] male orgasm. LOL- funny but true!
The odd thing is that these feminized men will probably not get any dates, not even from gender feminists. They seem to me to be insecure, quixotic human beings who hate the fact they are male and, maybe to a lesser extent, that they are HUMAN. Humans are at once simple and complex; simple in that we all have different personalities, complex in that we don't know how those personalities will react to one another.
After reading this article, I wonder if I'm the only woman on the planet left with classic Freudian penis envy...LOL
"Female men's activist" is not an oxymoron.
