More Coverage of NHCSM Nomination Controversy
posted by Scott on Wednesday October 02, @06:24PM
from the news dept.
News Kristin Prolux of the Concord Monitor wrote an outstanding article on the current status of the NH Commission on the Status of Men. She informs readers of the controversial nomination of Scott Hampton, and the most recent nomination of Neal Boutin, who I understand works directly in child support enforcement and is trying to enact significant reform in this area to improve fairness to non-custodial parents. Update: The Union Leader, NH's largest newspaper, also printed a story today on the NHCSM. I've been wondering when they'd finally give it some attention.

He (Hampton) said he hoped that a men’s commission would not seek to undo the accomplishments of the Commission on the Status of Women.

I would love it if a reporter were to ask Hampton which specific accomplishments he is afraid the Men's Commission would seek to undo and if he was cocky and dumb enough to give a straight answer.

But I fantasize a lot.

I don't know ANY man who wants to "un-do the accomplishments of the commission on the status of women."
Why in the Hell WOULD we...?
Besides we're to busy just trying to gain equal rights for our selves. when would we have time to try what Hampton "warns" about.

Okay, if Hampton is the nominee for the 'Commission on the status of Men',
Then Bobby Riggs or Andrew 'Dice' Clay should be elected to head the 'Commission on the status of WOMEN'.
Hey, if there is TRUE equality between the sexes, then that is only FAIR!

Ayup. That's my take, too. Either he couldn't come up with a single thing or he would quite conveniently point us to NH programs that benefit/privelege women at the expense of men based solely on the assertion of men's "superior" status. He should know; he's got 20 years in the business.

By not asking for specifics, these reporters are just passing on fear-mongering and vague innuendo.

Then Bobby Riggs or Andrew 'Dice' Clay should be elected to head the 'Commission on the status of WOMEN'.

If he were still with us, my vote would go for Sam Kinnison. :)

" said Hampton. "I'm a male, and I'm not against myself. It's a little silly."

It is a misconception by many, even in the men's movement that feminist men hate themselves. It would indeed be a "little silly" if Mr Hampton was against himself.

He, like most feminist men, is not against himself, he is against OTHER men.

The fact that he argued against the setting up of the commission, that he is now so keen to gain entry to, is deeply suspicious.

Hampton..; "I'm a male, and I'm not against myself. It's a little silly."

Use your HEAD Hampton, for something other than a stomping block for a dominatrix.

feminists ARE against men. If you side with the feminists, (and you do.) then by definition YOU are a feminist. ergo, you ARE against men, and since you are a man (allegedly) then you can be nothing BUT against your self.
Jeez, You don't even need to have a brain to figure out something as SIMPLE as that.
It's the same thing as saying you're a "Chistian" but are a practiceing "Budist".

Hampton is a Fem-boy. or Wussy-poopie, as I like to put it. He has NO concept of true equality or fairness. He is just a panting, drooling lap-dog for the Millitant feminists.
he is no better than those "far-left" white guys who perpetuate anti-white stereo-types, to make Black people "feel better" about themselves.
(And in case anyone is wondering, If when these "White guys" do the same for Indians, NO It doesn't make ME feel better.)

No Hampton and people like him are a throw back to the days of "Self-hateing Jews" and the like.
He is a spineless, groveling Uncle Tom. As well as a Self-hateing male. And folks, THAT is the most DANGEROUS kind.

How could a Commission on the Status of Men undo the accomplishments of the Women's Commission? To hear the feminazis rant, they haven't ever had any accomplishments. Us evil men are still grinding them down. They would actually have to admit to accomplishments for anybody to undo them.

"Men have lots of problems, and I have no problem with men's issues, but men don't have those issues because of their status," said Hampton. "I was concerned they wanted to turn the commission into a gender war." (from the Concord Monitor Online)

In Massachusetts visitation centers that receive funding from the Domestic Violence Unit of Massachusetts Department of Social Services "should be grounded in the belief that domestic violence is an attempt by one family member to gain control over other family members." Service providers are expected to understand the dynamics of domestic violence, "including the involvement of and impact on children," and the importance of batterer accountability. (from 'Supervised Visitation in Cases of Domestic Violence' by Maureen Sheeran and Scott Hampton)

It's funny isn't it? As soon as the menfolk start getting a little uppity, some gimp accuses them of trying to start a 'gender war'. Perhaps he should take a look at the Marxist origins of manhating feminism before he decides who is engaged in a gender war. I knew from the tone of his remarks that he was one of those kinds of people - you know the ones; it's hard to put a name to it, but it's as if there's something very wrong going on inside their skulls, like maybe they killed animals for fun when they were children. So, I did a Google search (+"scott hampton" +"psychologist") and I found the article above (http://familyvio.ssw.fsu.edu/barbench.pdf). It conforms completely to all the usual feminist tripe. It begins by refering to 'abusers' and 'victims' in genderless terms, but this quickly breaks down into man=abuser, woman (and HER children)=victim - and, of course, there's no mention of women's violence against children. Do I need to say there's no mention of women's violence against men either? Yeah; stupid question.

The trouble with men (or should that be 'man-shaped objects'?) like Hampton is that they accept feminist authority on all things that feminists claim authority for. So, men can't have a status problem because feminists say that it is women who have the status problem. If men have problems it must be for other reasons - perhaps they have too much status? Yeah, tell that to the guy (and it is a guy) who collects your garbage.

How can someone like Hampton say that he has 'no problem with men's issues' when he so clearly has no idea what men's issues are? And for him to hold up seventeen years of this ignorance as evidence that he's a suitable candidate for the men's commission shows just how far he would have to be re-educated. These people!

One day people will ask why the hell men ever put up with any of this crap.

Uberganger.

There ARE names for "Guys" like Scott Hampton.
SOME of them I won't mention. I do TRY not to use that sort of language. (^_^)

But two of them I CAN mention. "Wussy-poopie" and "Fem-boy".

The commission hasn't even had its first session and is already accused of starting a "gender war". This "guy" is the kind of "psychologist" that would automatically accuse a father who wants custody, of wanting custody for the sole reason of "control". This kind of person in a "men's" commission would be a pure nightmare.
