I think its good every now and then to link to what our critics have to say about us. This helps ensure that our visitors have a chance to hear from those who oppose us as well as our devotees, and this thread in particular has quite a few of our detractors explaining why they dislike this site and father's rights supporters in general. As it turns out, I happen to have been banned from that forum after one week of participation last spring, for questioning Michael Moore's "Stupid White Men", being overly critical of Hillary Clinton, and defending Wendy McElroy and the IWF.

Scared of female equality? (Score:0)

It is feminists who are afraid of female equality. I totally support female equality. Female equality would involve women losing all the privileges they hold on the basis of their gender. When they lose these privileges, men will cease to be second class citizens. I think one of the main aims of MANN is promotion of female equality.

I'm not even gonna bother going to their website too see what they are saying.
I can pretty much guess what they say and in what calibur.
I USED to be a DEMOCRAT myself, but it is just the attitude they show towards men, men's activists and yes even towards INDIANS that made me abandon the party.
I mean here they are CONSTANTLY preaching "EQUALITY" and yet they do everything they can to destroy it.
The only people they want "equality" for are those "groups" who tow the liberal party line and contribute to the party with big bucks.
And one of those "groups" are MILITANT FEMINISTS!

To be fair the Republicans are guilty of similar sin. But I don't see the Republicans ACTUALLY trying to destroy groups of people they may have a "problem" with.
Not to mention that the Democrats pretty much told us Indians to "go screw ourselves", just as they are telling MEN in general to do.

To use an old stereotype saying of a Hollywood Indian, 'The libs speak with a forked tounge'.

I found something I actually agree with Gonzo on!
who cares what they think.

It seems there's something wrong with my connection over there. It keeps on freezing. I did see one post that was open minded somewhat though. It's for the better, I use to go to that site all the time and I couldn't take coming across all the misandric shit over there. I have a big idea on what they're probably saying. And the men just put up with the blatant sexism directed towards men. As if they're not allowed to speak up for themselves. They've been emasculated, or just want to look approving to the women.

One time I was "chatting" with a feminist at DU and she was basically saying that men who like pornography are just the same as guys who like kiddy porn! No joke. I had to explain that women aren't children and that it's basically mysoginist to believe so.

And then there was the time Andrea Yates came on the seen and everyone at DU kept on wanting to come up with reasons for her killing her children. At the very begining they blamed the husband BEFORE any information was even known about him. I saw their sexist shit up close and personal and I couldn't take it, I fought back and was called sexist for doing so. I hate their shrill shit. I can't even say how much their shit pisses the fuck out of me. So it's probably good for my blood pressure that I can't see more than one posting on this thread.

I still go there but I avoid reading ANY post that has to do with gender or women. It just bothers me so much I can't handle it.

I've come the conclusion that they're mostly (in general) just a bunch of middle/upper middle class (no offense this time) professional liberals who talk about social justice because it makes them 'feel' good and comfortable with their priveliged ass lives, not because social justice has any stake in their personal lives. It can be condescending over there.

People wanted to kick me out because of my anarchist views and called on Liberalism's hypocrisy.

Was this person who started the thread on DU by any chance the guy who was debating with you guys on that one thread that's up to 80 something posts? It seems like quite a coincidence.

Sorry about my rant but I can't stand those feminists over there, or maybe in gerneral now. I had to get that of my chest. I'm not against the ideals of what we're told feminism is supposed to be about though.

You would think equality goes both ways, ya know.

Having given the matter much thought, I can think of only one privilege associated with being part of the male gender, namely the privilege of having a life expectancy of 6 or 7 years less than women. Given the society we live in , I consider this a distinct privilege. If I can think of any more male privileges, I'll let you all know.

Democrats authored the Violence Against Women Act that has caused more damage to lives of innocent men than any other piece of corrupt legislation in the history of the country. Feminist Democrats promote and support paternity fraud in CA. They have an office of women's health, but none for men. They have 31 women's commission, but none for men. They even have an education commission for women in prison, but men are 93% of the prison population.

There is a group of feminist legislators in CA, but none for men. The list of women belonging to that is quite long - over 20, (all Democrat).

The list of liberal femicrats is much longer, but the vast majority avidly promote the radical feminist agenda. Republicans only acquiesce to it out of chivalry and ignorance (make that stupidity).

Republicans only acquiesce to it out of chivalry and ignorance (make that stupidity).

Baloney, since when have the republicans turned into such wimps? Cracking down on "deadbeat dads" (a la the recent Ashcroft campaign) and "abusive husbands" falls into the Law and Order category, and you'd have a devil of a time finding any GOP politican who doesn't pander to Law & Order issues.

Are feminist issues vastly overrepresented? Of course they are. Its a sacred political cow, much like our blank-check support for Isreal (you say anything negative about Isreal and you're an anti-Semite) or our 40 year embargo of Cuba (when China has most-favored-nation trade status).

Screaming yourself hoarse at the Dems is stupid, because you're ignoring the other half of the problem. So I say again, minus feminazi issues, name some politicians who are truely liberal, as opposed to ones who are called liberal simply because they critize Bush and are in the Democratic party. Howard Dean is a perfect example: his policies as govenor were center to conservative, but the press keeps asking if he's too liberal to be elected.

Ooo! Looky! Sponsored by a Republican! There goes the exclusivity... Face it, Congress was under the control of Republicans, and there is no way the VAWA if it hadn't had their support. If that's not enough, here's some more....
    On Thursday, March 19, 78 members of the House of Representatives led by Representatives John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), Connie Morella (R-MD) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) introduced the Violence Against Women Prevention Act of 1998.
    The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jan Shakowsky (D-IL), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) and Constance Morella (R-MD) restores and expands legal protections granted to battered immigrant women.
    On January 19th, the Senate introduced its own Violence Against Women bill. It is sponsored by Senators Biden (D-DE) and Specter (R-PA)
And thats with 5 minutes of searching on the federal level, much less looking at the states. So the constant bitching about Democrats here and on MND is stupid for three reasons:
  • It's naive, because plenty of this kind of legislation is introduced or co-sponsored by Republicans as well as Democrats.
  • Its the same tired tactic used by feminazis: guilt by association. Somewhere, some guy beat up his wife, so all men are bad. Somewhere, some Democrat introduced some legislation that is unfair to to men, so all Democrats are bad.
  • Most importantly, it really pisses people off who agree with and would work with you. Not all Democrats are in bed with the feminazies any more than all Republicans are ankle-grabbing alter boys for the priests of the regligious right. Go read Glenn Sacks articles and find a single instance where he bitches about the craven liberal Democrat.
I'm going to quote HombreIII, as he summed it up very nicely on a different thread:
    I wish you, and several others in the movement as well, would stop trying to group your causes together. I think libertarians managed to pick just about the worst possible combination of ideas from both the left and the right, (let's legalize drugs and make easier access to guns!), and that the end result of their pure "laissez faire" capitalism would be the equivalent of communism only instead of the government telling you what job you work for and at what wage it would be the owner of the corporate town you were born in. But I will be absolutely happy to overlook these differences in opinion if a libertarian wants to work with me fighting the family courts. It is because of this that I won't write an article titled "Why Libertarians are Wrong About Everything" or try to draw a link between feminism and libertarianism and use it to persuade men's activists to go after libertarians. It seems that those who like to attack the left don't like to return that courtesy.

Legalizing drugs may just have the same effect on drug crime as lifting prohibition. At least the government would make the money instead of the south americans, then the money could (ideally) go for programs to help US citizens.

She continues to work to toughen penalties for domestic violence perpetrators and train law enforcement and medical care providers to identify and treat domestic violence victims. In this Congress, she introduced the Domestic Violence Identification and Referral Act (S. 198), which would give federal grant preference to schools for health professionals that train students to identify, examine, treat, and refer victims of domestic violence.

Sure its slanted - the Dems and the GOP approach it from different slants. Dems: we must right the historic oppression of women by men. GOP: we must enforce Law and Order on these wife beaters and deadbeat dads, as well as protect the 'women and children'. In short, while the Democrats maybe more vocal, both parties have screwed men over royally to the point where hair-splitting over who is "worse" is a waste of time.

Go back to that list of elected Democrats I initially posted

And you'd have a really great point, just as soon as you find out where I said no Democrat in office has ever sponsored this kind of legislation.

and check their voting records if you dare.

Oh, so voting records are suddenly important again once we are talking about Democrats and not Republicans? I thought the only important thing to you was who wrote it, which is silly, since most legislation is written by lobbyists, not Senators or Congressmen, and is greatly modified in committee. Committees that have been chaired by Republicans. More to the point, I dare you to check those bills and see how many had Republican sponors.

So the constant coverage on MND calling attention to the blatant misandry of the Democratic party is right on the money, or haven't you noticed the huge numbers of men leaving the FEMICRAT party. Wake up and smell the Democrats.

Uh huh. And how are the Democrats at fault for Ashcroft's crackdown on "Deadbeat Dads", all of whome were simply to poor to pay off their child support debts? Where was the shreaking and hand-wringing on MND then? Where were the editorials lambasting the elite, out of touch, evil conservatives, eh? Wake up and smell the hypocracy.

Glenn Sacks has it right - he lays the feet at the blame of *all* state and federal governments and agencies, where it belongs. Petty sniping isn't going to take the men's movement anywhere.

If you're talking about Barbara and Hillary, sure. If you're including the whole party, no. What you don't seem to be getting is that it doesn't matter what party they belong to, these policies are popular among almost all politicians. Dem, GOP, Green, Independant, it doesn't matter: protecting women from the 'epidemic' of domestic violence, collecting child support and funding breast cancer research are popular stump topics. Just because promoting women's issues isn't listed as a core GOP platform, doesn't mean they wont do it enthusiastically. And I'll throw out Ashcroft again because he's such a prefect example.

Don't believe me? Call a few Republican politicians - city, county, state, national - and ask them about their views on those subjects.

A few guys in the men's movement really need to run out and buy a copy of "How to Make Friends and Influence People", because as a fledgling political movement we shouldn't be allienating people needlessly.

Yea, after the hate monger femicrats created all those laws, and relentlessly bash men every chance they get with new misandric legislation.

What in the heck are you talking about here? As I origionally said:
    And you'd have a really great point, just as soon as you find out where I said no Democrat in office has ever sponsored this kind of legislation.

As for these people taking credit for legislation: whoop de do! Thats what politicians do. They say "I helped pass" or if they sponsored it, they'll say "I passed my bill". Any senator or congressman is constantly in that mode, as their constituents what their representative is doing for them, and don't care what a rep three states away had do do with it. Its quite possible they'll say "my bill" without mentioning the other sponsor.

Do your own research. You are the one supporting that position. I've gone to the Femicrat sites and posted a mountain of evidence supporting my contentions, while you refute it with mere opinions.

Um, no, thats not how this works. I'm not going to prove your hypothosis for you. You trot out a nice list of legislation to prove how those kind of bills are introduced by 'femicrats'. To which I responded, oh thats interesting, but how many of those were *equally* sponsored by 'femipublicans'? You are asserting that those bills were only sponsored by democrats, so it is your job to prove that that is the case. Oh, and I didn't just throw out opinions, I threw out a list of legislation that had republican co-sponsors.

Go back and read my earlier "editorial" on Ashcroft.

I did. It wasn't brimming with contempt for femipublicans, it seemed to be more a state of shock, or was it a realization that femipublicans are just as nasty as femicrats.

Now, before this conversation degenerates into an endless loop, why don't we just agree that politicians from both parties are eager to screw men over.

Scudsucker:

You make a good point and it bears repeating so let's enumerate that list of Republican traits that serve to deny men their inalienable rights:

1. Archaically chivalrous

2. Ignorant of Men's issues to the point of stupidity

3. Greedy capitalist pigs who would rather destroy a family, a Father, than establish equitable and fair child support payments and custody arrangements. Chivalrous, Republican, capitalist pigs promote and support enslaving men to a system of child support that could only be honestly described as usury in the way that it enriches government. If any business ever employed such an outrageously exploitive system of extortion, we would lock them up and throw away the key. Pro family my butt, Republicans are pro scam artists, when it comes to Father's rights.

Republicans today tend to be religious bigots who don't recognize any family, but the intact, undivorced ones. I would describe Republican Christians today as modern Pharisees in a Good Samaritan story, where they walk right past the battered, beaten, and broken Fathers lying along the side of the road.

The only mistake that men ever make in women's lives is in thinking that they matter. Any feminist on that web site will confirm that. In the mean time enjoy life and have a good time, and if you must touch live electricity or become involved with women insulate yourself from the dangers.

What shocks many people as I choose my words - and trust me, often they are chosen to slap upside the head and challenge - is how much I repeat the mantra of "Fuck 'em" and "Worthless twats who aren't worth the gunpowder it'd take to blow them to hell."

Gents, it's calculated, and Hunsvotti strikes where it is designed to hit home.

For years we have been allowing women - who know exactly diddley and squat about being a man - to define masculinity, and to shame (or try to) men into behaving as they want them to.

What is required to break that cycle is basically the realization that the only proper response to it is an abrupt upward thrust of the middle finger.

I remember when I had my epiphany on that subject, when I'd heard one to many "A real man would do whatever it took to please me because I'm a woman. A gentleman would let me abuse and take advantage of him. But I give birth! What do men do? Bitch and whine, blah, blah, blah..."

I'd had it, and I finally said, "Look you dumb bitch. What the fuck do you know about being a man. Got a pair of nuts that are your own?"

Look of shock. "Well, .. where do you ... I mean..."

"Didn't think so. Shut the fuck up. Thanks for playing."

(female sour look) "Well, that might be a reason you don't ever have sex..."

(Shaming tactic alert and tip Accusing you of not having sex is just a thrust here. Ignore it.)

"What makes you think you or your kind are worth screwing?"

(Enter fishy-face. God what a rush.)

That type of shaming language only has power if you let it. And even in the cases where they are right on a given subject, (Hell, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again!) they should still be squelched as a matter of principle. Just say, "Stop. Before you even try to define what being a man is, I want to see you drop trou and slap Harry Dick and the twins on the table as your bona fides to entitle you to an opinion. No? Shut yer pie-hole. Thanks for playing."

Just say no to phemi-kook definition of masculinity. The paper it's printed on ain't even worth wiping your ass with.

In this country we drive and walk to the right, and one of my pet peeves is people who insist on walking to the left, expecting me to make way for them. I was affronted, and resolved not to yield.

After an unfriendly exchange of words there was a silence of a minute or two before she finally realized I would not be moved and left. But she had to leave a parting shot. "That's why you masturbate every night," she hollered over her shoulder after she was twenty or so paces away from me. I did not feel compelled to respond. Let her lick her wounds.

In any case, I would rather beat off for the rest of my life than be beholden to some shrew who thinks I can be treated like a second-class citizen.

I do not understand why a teenage girl would be stupid enough to go out of her way to wrongfully provoke a man who was more than a head taller than her. I can only imagine the milquetoasts that pass for men in her family. She probably talks $#!7 to her father, and he probably takes it. What a sorry state of affairs.

There is much talk about how men must respect women. Perhaps we also need to talk about women respecting men. And men respecting themselves while we're at it, 'cause they can't respect us if we can't respect ourselves.

What if she was very unhappy in her marriage but couldn't leave because if she did, she would lose her children yet have to pay 20-50 percent of her income to pay for those children. What if she was accused of abusing those kids by the father during the divorce and therefore could not see them at all, even though there was no evidence. What if he was beating her, but when she called the police they arrested her?

  What if she was single and had to pay for every drink and dinner, even when the guy was not really interested and had no intent on another date? What if they had consensual sex and the next day he decided he was embarrassed and reported it as a rape. She is in jail, picture and name inthe paper, fired from work, disowned by the community, all on the accusation, before it even goes to trial?

What if there is a war and she is drafted. She goes overseas, gets shot at, watches all her friends die, and comes home to listen to men gripe about how hard it was to stay home and not have 'choices'.

What if she goes to school her whole life and 95% of the teachers are men? She is in trouble for drawing rainbows and unicorns, she is not allowed to play her games on the playground, and they cannot wear dresses or jewelery at halloween. The boys have classes which prepare them for all their choices,encourages them, favors them, but little to help her get the education she needs to support her family when she gets older. The school is set up for boys, and if she has a problem with that she is put on Ritilin?

What if she is in college, and there are 20 men's studies courses and zero women's interests classes. There are grants for men but none for women? There are men's only groups all over campus, yet as soon as she tries to set one up for women it is shut down as sexist and unconstitutional.

What if over one million girls in the US were genitally mutilated per year, yet the men blocked research to stop it in order to work on the several hundred circumcisions which slipped through illegally, and to concentrate on boys the middle east where it happened to both sexes.

What if more men graduated high school, went to college, more men were in the fortune 500, more men abused children, more men were voters, more women committed suicide, more women were assaulted, more women lost their children in divorce, and yet men complained they were disadvantaged?

I guess the men would say her breasts were too small and she just had a complex?

excellent.

Much like women's issues, not everyone agrees with every issue, but all are examined with one thing in mind: how it affects women [usually to the disadvantage].
A lot of issues affect everyone, but a law that defines rape as "an assault on a female's genitals" is obviously going to affect women alledging rape and men accused. Depends on the focus.

And, to be fair, there are a lot of posts comparing feminists to nazis. If you actually examine it, it makes sense, but to the uninitiated it seems insane.

Okay, I think we can say here that Jack Nicholson's version of women (abscence of reason and accountablility has notably exceptions).

I have always held that the problem with stereotyping any group is that "just when your sure you've got a group all figured out some individual comes along and blows all your ideas right out of the water."

If America survives, and I hope it does, it will only be because we still allow everyone to be the person they want to be within the limited boundaries of the remaining freedoms that we have.

Unlike marriage, mensactivism.org is a victimless crime.

Feminists can cry, they can nag, they can whinny, bleat and moo, but if they want respect, they'll need to go to the moon.

They'll weigh less there.

It's not time to worry until they unleash their best secret move: Spraying Cracker Jacks while shouting instructions, and the passionate: "Remember tomorrow is garbage day" at just the right moment.

Yeah, like me, cause I am the BAD ASS BISCUIT QUEEN!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Yes, I think at this point the feminists are very cocky, sitting up on high, confident their defenses will hold, that they are untouchable. They look at a few of us, like Glenn Sacks and Cristina Hoff Sommers and start to worry a little, but I think they still have no clue that they are not beloved of the people any longer. For every men's commission, for every woman who faces the consequences of her actions, for every law that starts to back away from woman worship, they will slowly understand that they are not inpenatrable (pun intended) and then they will be afraid of each of us.

Jen:

I have been on the net now, regarding these issues, for over 5 years, and there have gotten to be more and more insightful people of courage and goodwill who will not tolerate the lies that these gender feminist monsters use to destroy innocent lives. More and more these vile repulsive creatures of no integrity are forced to stand before us with "co clothes." Yuk!

I have to go wash my mouth out with soap now at the thought of those last few words.

The entrenched, systematic misandry is just as bad as it was 5 years ago. The big difference is that there were no voices refuting those liars 5 years ago. I honestly felt quite hopeless as I daily scoured the net looking for support for my male victimization at the hands of those rabid feminist hate mongers.

I would talk to myself, "I know this happened." "This is crazy." "What the heck is going on?"

There are many more supportive voices on the net these days. Unfortunately many of them have been manufactured as victims out of the hate mills of our college Women's Studies programs and our miscandric courts.

I see no end to the tragedy in sight, just a long protracted struggle against a rats nest of militant feminists who have as their goal to destroy men, boys, families, society, and thereby empower women.

May they rot in their foul, putrid bigotry, and may people of goodwill yield to them never.

Sincerely, Ray

                              All movements begin from a support base of 0 per cent. The most difficult and protracted part of the struggle is getting from 0 to 1 per cent. After that growth tends to be exponential, explosive and unstoppable.

There are two simple things all men "in the struggle" can do, without any sacrifice:

1) Do not aid the enemy. (i.e. Shun all women who do not support true equality under the law.)

2) Take care of your own soul.

Actually, just diligently observing #2 will in due course lead to concurrence with #1.

IMO this thread respresents good news... people are talking about the mens movement. Now at first blush I was pissed that they were slamming us, but after I though about it I came to realize that the old adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" applies here too. Sure a bunch of them get to feel self-satisfied that they "put us in our place" but in doing so perhaps a few others thought about it and said to themselves "you know, those people at mensactivism might actually have a point... maybe I should check into this a bit".

Our targets aren't the shrill voices screaming so they don't need to address any issues, but rather the reasonable majority... mothers and fathers who worry about their boys, grandparents who wonder what the hell has happened in this country over the last 30 years, even college students who wonder if relationships are REALLY supposed to be so adversarial.

We've got a long way to go, and the shriller the opposition, the better we're doing in my book.
Fear and human beings... (Score:0)

I think it's unfortunate that people have to be so afraid of each other. Seems to me, people spend more time trying to deny that we're all human beings and that we have very basic and similar needs. Are we -really- all that different? Are men and women really incapable of treating each other as human beings? I tend to think we aren't from mars, venus or any other alien zone, we're all from earth. I think once we dispense with our social programming and question what we've been told we're supposed to think and believe, a basis for true understanding begins to emerge.

As part of this pursuit, forgive me if this is off topic, I'm conducting social research and would encourage any interested men or women to participate in a social survey I'm conducting right now. It's focus is stay at home dads and how they, and society, tend to view themselves as social deviants. It's via the web and entirely anonymous and secure.

I'd appreciate your input and I do support activism for the equality of human beings, male and female!

Gee that all sounds so nice, but you have to understand how that hatred is chosen by women (Women's Studies) and institutionalized into law. Perhaps if you were a man and had been taken into a court of law, had been bent across the statue of justice and raped of your life like countless men in this country have been you'd understand.

I respect what you're saying but this is what men's reality is today in feminazi america, and it is not what is so often portrayed on some puffed up T.V. show with an emphasis on playing well to women (and men who are to uninitiated to the knowledge of the above).

Sorry, Dorothy this just isn't Kansas anymore, it's feminazi america.

Good Luck with your research.

Women in taxpayer funded Women's Studies, college classes appear to be incapable of treating men as human beings, according to my observations. We men feel the effects of those bastions of misandry, daily.

Those places (Women's Studies Programs/Women's Centers) are nothing short of hate mills, that crank out unscholarly drivel to support their abhorrent pseudo-science.

Yes, we have to get rid of women's studies. I gather they had something similar in Nazi Germany so I searched and got this -

Nazi Education

"They were thus determined to mould the new generation to accept Nazi principles."

"Nazi ideology and physical-military training became other important aspects of the school program. "

"The quality of German education, once the leading system in Europe, declined. "

"Teachers who had criticized the Nazis as well as Jewish teachers were summarily dismissed. All remaining teachers were subjected to a month of intensive training in National Socialist principles. Nazi officials reviewed textbooks for suitability and commissioned the publication of new materials. "

"Social, moral, religious, political, and economic though contrary to Nazi though was ignored or presented in a distorted negative context. "

Remind anyone of Women's Studies?
