Maureen Dowd can't hate men enough
posted by Thomas on Wednesday July 09, @05:06PM
from the dept.
News Matt writes "This speaks for itself. Letters to the editor are a good idea."

(Thomas writing now) This piece drips with hatred. Just one example is Dowd's statement, "Self-love as a survival mechanism: the unflinching narcissism of men may send women into despair at times" It seems the New York Times has learned nothing from its recent debacle over Jayson Blair. If anything like this were said about Jews, blacks, women—any group except men—the writer would be fired. In fact, it wouldn't make it into print in any publication masquerading as a serious medium.

Maureen Dowd's misandric rantings (part deux) (Score:1)

I don't hate women in general, but in Dowd's case I'll make an exception (I'd include genocidal misandrists like Dr. Helen Caldicott as well, but that's another story).

I don't know what Marueen Dowd's problem is with the male gender. Dowd bases her insane rant of an editorial on an arbitrary interpretation of some questionable research done on the Y chromosome. This ignores other research highlighting the strength and utility of the Y chromosome (such as its ability to repair itself). She then quotes a man-hating female evolutionary biologist's gleeful description of female insects that devour male insects - as if a parallel in the human world would be a good thing.

Perhaps Dowd would benefit from removing herself from her insular world in order to observe the civilized world that surrounds her. Then she might see that most of the world's physical and informational infrastructure - which ultimately benefits women like her - was created by the very men she despises.

I'm not sure which pisses me off more - the hijacking and perversion of a solid science, or the obvious bigotry toward one half of humanity. Hilter murdered ~6 million people. Dowd is going for 3 billion.

Now is not the time for a introductory genetics discussion, but suffice it to say that the size of a gene sequence is in no way indicative of superiority. Indeed, the vast majority of human DNA consists of intron sequences, commonly referred to as "junk DNA", because it serves no apparent functional purpose.

I can't believe such a blatantly sexist text has been released in the so-called "paper of record". This is what I'd call a "hate crime".

What pisses me really off is the fact that men had been waiting for years for two science breakthroughs to achieving single reproduction, without resorting to disgusting female chauvinist pigs any more, and one of them has already occured, but the mainstream media is kept silent about it....double standards as usual, when it is considered as disempowering for women, no one dares to speak about it, but when it is considered as empowering for women, every newspaper is celebrating the news...

So, up to now, men were in need of :

- eggs
- artificial wombs

The first step has been taken, as we know now that male stem cells can make eggs (and probably can make uterine tissue as well)....the second is yet to come, but it will for sure....there are more and more gay men on earth, with each passing year, and those men want to reproduce themselves without women....it's their dream, and they will achieve it, because scientists may have been anti-heterosexual male up to this day, but these same scientists are pro-gay males.......straight men will never have legal access to ectogenesis, unless the ability is given to gay men first.

Keep up the good work against misandry, brothers, one day those females pigs will pay for their villainy.

As a footnote: I changed the title of my most recent post from the earlier "Maureen Dowd's misandrist rantings" that was posted sometime last year (that was a Dowd article about the Catholic priest scandal that I sent in).

It is more grammatically correct to write that Maureen Dowd's rantings are "misandric" rather than "misandrist." This is because the "rantings" that Dowd indulges in are a noun, and it is proper to modify a noun by preceding it with an adjective such as "misandric," rather than another noun such as "misandrist." Therefore, Maureen Dowd's rantings are technically "misandric" rather than "misandrist."

You know, after reading your post I could not help but laugh my ass off at your response to what is a very well written article.

Yet, when the 13,862nd female rejected your disgusting sexual advances failed to make you realize you will just keep striking out with chicks no matter what.....

But seriously, Maureen Dowd is a distinguished writer and excellent journalist who tells it like it is: that men are, and are continuing to be, on an evolutionary downward spiral. Every word of her article is truth and whether you agree with her or not, she's witty and incisive, unlike the myopic and boring rants written by men's rights nutters.

I can see this harpie perched up in her lair somewhere on the Upper East Side typing furiously thinking to herself..."oh! but that young 22-year-old receptionist with the fake t*ts, yeah, she's his type..

Thank you for proving a very important point here. You are stressing that a womyn's sole reason for being and economic survival is based on whether or not she appeals to a man in some way. You beat the same dead horse and use the same dead stereotypes that attempt to tell womyn that without a men, they are somehow deficient and incomplete. You know very well that you are dead wrong and that there are womyn who lead perfectly normal, happy and full lives without a man. Men are not important in the lives of womyn. They are expendable. Dowd is just observing and reporting. Get over it.

and.......equal work / equal pay.......a woman needs a man like.......7 out of every 8, no wait, 7 out of every...6 women are beaten every...10 minutes....."

Yes, you're right. Womyn have all these issues EXCEPT for the equal pay part. Par for the course in a patriarchy. By the way, just to set u straight, a womyn is raped every 90 seconds in the US, one in five womyn will be raped during their lifetime, battered every 15 seconds by her male partner, 1 in 3 females has been beaten or sexually abused in her life by a man. In light of these numbers, many womyn feel it is to their benefit NOT to be in a so-called relationship with a man, and it's easy to see why. Really a scream that you can laugh over tea (after ballet class) about this with your boyfriends here.

Fortunately, the only people who like the sort of drivel she writes are already commufems and most of America sees her for what she is.

Actually, the NY Times is read by millions the world over and Dowd is a respected journalist, as I stated before. Even professional males and academics are in agreement with Dowd. Incidentally, if you were to comment on the anti-female polemics in the media, which is a norm in our society, you'd need thousands of websites to do so that would be jam packed with nothing else.

Seriously, the real name of the virus is called pride, which women in general are quite susceptible to. In the beginning Eve was tempted with "ye shall be like gods". And so it is today.
The column is an example of what happens when women are not put "in their place". And much of the blame for this must unfortunately be laid at the feet of men, out of fear of provoking woman's wrath.

Throughout Western Civilization women were never allowed to have any sort of spiritual power whatsoever, and the only political power they ever received was when one of them became Queen due to the lack of a male heir to the throne. Was this because women were deemed as a group unfit to rule? In a word, yes. Since we "enlightened" folk won't listen to the wisdom of our ancestors we are going to have to learn the hard way. For instance, after women received the vote, the size of government immediately shot way up.

Another nugget of wisdom discarded by our "enlightened" society is the archetype of male as creator, female as nurturer. But it is true, and male creative activity is never going to be appreciated and valued by women in general. Male creations are just going to be taken for granted, as though they just magically appeared, even though, of course, inventions by men have made life much easier for women. Moreover, even though Ms. Dowd points out the advantages of sexual reproduction for women (especially the much-ballyhooed sexually "liberated" women) and for the human race in general the idea that it "takes two to tango" just doesn't seem to take hold. Don't hold your breath. It never will.

So, in short, patriarchy, or bust.

The NYT article is now chargeable, but it is repeated at the International Herald Tribune.
The notion that men have or are being deposed from their throne is a female paranoid fantasy. It relies on the idea that men have been on top in the first place. As Bernard points out in his article, men have been effectively working for women all along. When men go out of the cave, or out of the house, it is not so they can oppress women,; it is so they can provide for women, knowing that if they don't she will look elsewhere. Men have known that for 5 millions years. She apparently loves ideas like female spiders eating male spiders after sex. This feeds her idea of the females fighting back against the oppressive males. The males have never been oppressive. She misses the point of the male-eating female spider. If she is eating him, why after sex? Why not before? Because the point is procreation! He is sacrificing himself so his offspring will live. Feminists wish for some kind of reproduction without sperm. No such method really exists. Without sperm there is no procreation and without procreation, there is no species. This is what the feminists are heading for, not some female only heaven.

I'm pretty sure that's already been pioneered - google for 'reproduction without sperm' (sans quotes) or similar. I can't recall the method I read of some years back, but I do recall that, since it took genetic material from a mother, eliminated the clearly sub-optimal outcome of bearing a boy, due to the lack of a Y chromosome on the mother's part.

I wouldn't worry too much about this psuedoscience which suggests the Y is going anywhere. Sexual reproduction evolved because it perpetuates the genetic variation within a gene pool. These dimwits seem to think that only men are evolving, and that, even if men did evolve into extinction, women wouldn't evolve right along with them. If men as we know them won't exist in 10 million years, women as we know them won't exist either. Unless, of course, we embark on some gendercidal nightmare (which I wouldn't put past people like Dowd).

There is a reason why this isn't being discussed in reference to other mammals besides humans: first, because a bigoted political agenda has nothing to gain by saying that all male lions and tigers and bears are going away, and second, because it sounds as ludicrous as it actually is.
