September Feminist Culture Club Meeting So who the heck is NOMAS? Why haven't we heard about them before? After taking a look at their website, they appear to be composed entirely of Womens Studies graduates, with a gay man and a hetero male apologist thrown in for good measure. Their stated goals are : 1. Pro-Feminist 2. Gay-Affirmative 3. Anti-Racist 4. Dedicated to Enhancing Men's Lives #2 and #3 are all well and good. Why is #1 there at all, and why do men come in 4th place in an organization that sounds like it should be pro-Men?"

"Challenging traditional masculinity....."

Hmmmm? Sounds familiar doesn't it.

Now I'm against old rich men (and even women, Helen of Troy, Elizabeth I, Cleopatra, Queen Anne, Catherine the Great, Margarat Thatcher are women who started wars) starting wars and sending fathers, brothers, and innocent men to die in wars based on someone's bloated ego (ie: Bush's vendetta against Hussein), but that's NOT a "traditional" masculinity issue.

It's a psychotic-megalomania issue that can apply to BOTH genders. Violence and hate knows NO gender/sex.

This "pro-Mens" group is the cliche of "fearing Greeks bearing gifts" scenario. The website goes on and on about pushing for more women's equality and denouncing rape and discrimination (it's a cold day in hell if a woman is "discriminated" against here in the Western World), and they say they want to address Men's struggle with traditional masculinity.

WTF?!!!!!!! Well lookie here it sounds like another group of Women trying to dupe men into believing that they give half-a-shit about Men's Issues.

Traditional Masculinity and testosterone does NOT contribute to wars, violence, and evil! Megalomania, psychosis, and bloated egos (things that know NO gender/sex)are what contribute to all of the violence in the world! Anyone, regardless of gender/sex, can "flip-out" and start a war, commit a crime, and instigate violence!

Psychos (regardless of gender/sex) are the violent people who need to be changed. NOT MEN!!!

Sure there were a couple of historical men who enjoyed war, violence, and tyrrany, but it was because they were *PSYCHOTIC*!!!

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And should Hilary Clinton [God forbid this] becomes president, she will turn into a Dictatrix (female dictator), because that woman *IS* psychotic! She has the potential of becoming a tyrant because she's psychotic. Violence is due to Psychosis, NOT sex.

Traditional Masculinity is good, psychosis is BAD!!! Which is why people should NOT allow psycho-megalomaniacs to come into power. Back in the days of absolute monarchies the people didn't have a choice, hence why so many men and women who should NOT have been in power were.

These feminists forget that it was traditional masculinity that made innocent men serving their commander and chief go and die in a war so that they (women) stay back home, and not have their leg blown off.

It was traditional masculinity that drove geniuses to invent all of the wonderful technology and medicine that we take for granted today.

Okay NOMAS dipshits, allow me to explain *REAL* Men's Issues: forced child-support for kids not belonging to him, paternity fraud, the divorce industry, discrimination in the realms of the academia, health community, office, courts, marriage, domestic violence, false accusations, and exercises in free-speech and free-press.

Those are *REAL* men's issues dumbasses. Destroying the male identity will NOT improve Men's lives, it will only ruin them. It's a form of censorship and biogtry to annihilate the male identity.

Masculinity did NOT and does NOT cause the world's problems. Megalomania and psyhosis which is capable among both genders/sexes is the cause of the world's problems.

And as we are witnessing with Feminism, megalomania, tyrrany, and psychosis is VERY capable among women.

I fear Feminists bearing "gifts".

But I do think that it is a good thing that hetero and gay men learn to get along. All men should be united under one banner and that's the Men's Rights Revolution.

Gay men are being oppressed by Feminism too. Feminists are only tolerant and good-natured to gay men who are effeminate and pro-feminist. Masculine Gay Men are a Feminist worst nightmare.

After all, in anciet Greece, Gay men were masculine and shared a societal bond with ALL men regardless of sexual orientation. They encouraged and institutionalized brotherhood among all men regardless of being hetero or gay.

If all men were united regardless of sexual orientation and were united in Brotherhood, feminism would NOT exist. And it sure as hell didn't in anciet Greece; the most enlightened and most intelligent civilization in history.

Minus the pedophilia part of anciet Greece but we have laws against that now =)

But as for NOMAS, I'm VERY weary. I smell feminist bullshit. But I could be wrong.

As I said in my first post, I do not hate women. And if it ever happens to me, seeing a guy raping a woman or a child, I will be the first one to kick that guy's ass. I want to make that clear.

What I do hate is radical feminism, telling me that I am evil just because I was born as a male. What makes me sick is the fact that there is a worldwide movement trying to change my personality because they feel threatened by my masculinity.

I read a few lines on the NOMAS website and all I can see is that their only purpose is, change men into submissive pussy wusssies. So in my opinion NOMAS has nothing to do with mens's rights.

Like I would kick a rapist's ass, I will kick every feminist's ass who wants to take my right to be a man. Let that be clear too.

Bert, there are plenty of radical feminists on my campus. Feel free to come here and whoop their asses! I won't tell! It can be our little secret.

Besides some of the radical feminists who are lesbians here on campus are sexually harassing us hetero-girls and there's nothing we can do about it because we'll be called homophobic and hostile towards lesbian-feminists by the university's administration.

And you know what happens to those the status-quo labels to be homophobic and anti-feminist.

I have *NO* problems with homosexuals, but I won't let a lesbian make unwanted and sexually-vulgar advances towards me.

But Hetero-Men and Gay Men, *UNITE* against Feminazism!!!

It's the same where I work. Daphn Patai writes in her book, Heterophobia about the sexual harassment of women students by the radical/gender feminist instructors. As you say the poliitically correct bigots who are the administration of our colleges just turn there head when homosexuals sexually harass heterosexuals, yet at the slightest infraction they will ruin the career and life of a heterosexual men.

As Patai and Hoff Sommers point out, radical lesbian feminists consider it a political duty to 'convert' as many women as possible to lesbianism. So sexual harassment is a good thing if feminists are doing it.

Lesbianism is considered to be the highest form of existence. By whom? Radical lesbians of course. It's interesting to note that in the Nazi period, Germans considered themselves to be the highest form of existence as well.

Ms. Thea, that would be something, you and I having that kind of little secret. If I ever visit the US, I will give you a call. ;-)

Just like you I don't have any problems with homosexuals. I have a few friends who are gay, but none of them ever sexually harassed me. They know I am hetero sexual and they respect that. I even have two lady friends, a lesbian couple, who are not into feminism. They believe that feminism does harm them as well, because feminism is known as a radical and discriminating movement and these two ladies are definly not.

I never realized how bad things are on campus in the US. Reading your posts I can imagin that it sometimes must be hard for you, being an anti-feminist among those dykes. On the other hand, I have the feeling that you are a strong independent and self-assured woman, you know how to stand them.

About penises and testicles, you know what they say about feminists and penis-envy. I for my part think that's one of their main reasons for hating men. Why else would most of them like to play with strap-on dildos?

Penis Envy? Damn right! Thank you Freud!

I think all of this feminist anger toward males in general is based off of the fact that men are free from pregnancy, menstration, menopause, lactation, and PMS. (aka: Bitch Syndrome, hell I'll admit it I'm like that sometimes, stupid estrogen!)

Though men in the Western World are given a bill to pay for 18+ years for an unwanted pregnancy--hence why I'm Pro-Abortion/Choice Rights for Men--and Men's Health issues are ignored in order to please the feminist demands for more Women's Health Care.

Nothing would make me happier than to be free from my from all of the biological chaos caused by my uteruses and ovaries. But I do *NOT* want male sexual/reproductive organs. I don't want reproductive/procreation organs period. But I would like to keep my sex organs that have no play in reproduction. Take the uterus and ovaries and leave the rest I say.

But that would mean I would have to take hormone replacement medicine due to the lack of ovaries. Oh hell I'll just sell all of my eggs when I'm 22, so I can pay for Law School. I'm nineteen now, so I three years left.

Sorry for the graphic and even vulgar post but you're right Bert, about the penis envy. If they hate phallic symbols so much why do they use dildoes? They're VERY phallic in appearance. Some people just won't admit the truth. How pathetic.

Point is, NOMAS is about Men hating themselves so much that they will become apologists, docile, feeble, and submissive to tyrrany.

Masculinity is what drives Men to be productive, happy, wise, and strong members of society.

Modern civilization would not exist had it not been for a masculine man wanting to engineer and harness the power of new technology and science.

The Enlightenment Era would not have existed had it not been for men driven by their masculinity to pursue higher and more analytical thinking.

We owe a lot to the original concept of Masculinity. "New Age Masculinity" (aka: the Feminist construct of Masculinity) has NOT given us a damn thing that's productive or enlightening in the least.

Fuck "New Age Masculinity"! Give us back the original and *REAL* Masculinity! The radical feminists can shove that New Age Masculinity up their asses--or their vaginas since they're desperate for dildoes. *PATHETIC!!!*

Here are the claims of IWF:
Women should have freedom of choice but should take EQAUL RESPONSIBILITY for them. Men and Women are inherently different due to biology and psychology. There's NOTHING wrong with the Masculine Gender Indentity. Title IX must be reformed. College campuses must be taken back away from the radical feminists. If women want to be equal with men then they had better work their ass off like a man and NOT complain about being "oppressed".

They even pushing for more college admissions for Male students and even allude to the idea of a Male Affirmative Action campaign in the academia.

Check out the Independent Women's Forum website sometime and give me your two-cents on it. I sent them an email concerning their campaign to free female college students like myself from the radical feminist propaganda machine and censorship.

Their main message is that if women want equality then they had better accept EQAUL RESPONSIBILITY and EQUAL WORK!!! NO SPECIAL TREATMENT!!!

They tend to follow a conservative ideological line, but I think their more traditional take on womanhood is far healthier than the radical/gender feminist agenda. Some of the women who are affiliated with their group are Christina Hoff-Sommers (Who Stole Feminism & The War on Boys), Christine Stolba, (A Room of Their Own & The Feminist Dilemma), Nancy Pfotenhauer, Carrie Lukus and others.

I like them because they intelligently and adamantly oppose standard radical/gender feminist women's studies propaganda.

One time they even posted (on their web site) criticisms that folks on Mensactivism had on an issue. I think we were disagreeing on some point.

They did not take down our comments and posted many comments that we made. I respect them because they were at least open to entertain other viewpoints. Overall I find a lot more common ground with them than I do with radical/gender feminists.

They tend to have their base on the East coast, although I know they've had guest lecturer(s) on a college campus in Arizona. I wish they'd set up shop on the West coast and start visiting our hard core radical/gender feminist campuses.

Some Mensactivism guys will probably be upset with me, but I'm a supporter of IWF, and I'm on their mailing list.

I also contributed to the Concerned Women for America group after they took on the National Organization for Women (NOW) at the U.N. and really gave them the 3rd degree on their agenda. I've never seen anyone do to NOW what they did. I was elated for days. They are a Christian group with Beverly Lahay as their leader and have a very conservative, very traditional, very Christian agenda. I don't know of any other women's groups that actively oppose the radical/gender feminist agenda, but would be interested in them if you know of any. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

i believe that perhaps everyone's defence of "traditional" masculinity we may be missing something. Most of our current problems that we find ourselves fighting are a results of certian functions of this traditional role. As males society dictates that we provide. it doesn't care how we provide or if it hurts us. Our reward for this is an amount of "respect" form everyone for being "manly". i ask if any amount of respect is worth an early grave or a life as a living wallet.

  society will attack those who speak out against the problems men face by attacking thier view of masculinity. if we continue to view this false masculinity that has been pushed on us by a society that has destoryed our real masculinity ( sit still in school, shut up, don't question authority or your role, accept your lack of visitation, you can't be a parent) we cannot solve the problems that face us hear and now. we have to remove those shackles that we can't see before we can remove those that we can.

when men free ourselves of that confinement all the slings and arrows of society (of which feminism has become on of) become harmless.

don't get me wrong i don't think masculinty is bad. i love masculinity, that is when it's true masculinty. but socienty ever since the industrial revolution (maybe even before by way of chivalrey) has attempted to controll and replace masculinty with something that makes men just another bunch of replaceable cogs in the machine. original masculinity was that of the farmer it was in tune with nature and that is what we need to find again my friends.

I understand your point of view Jimmy and I agree with you that there is a difference between the "dictating masculinity" and the "in tune with nature masculinity" as you describe it.

The fact is, feminists don't give a shit what kind of masculinist you are, wether you are a dictator or you are a peaceful guy, they hate all masculinity. So in my opinion it would be a good idea to send feminists to training camps to teach them de differences and to teach them some respect for the good guys, for the loving fathers etc. who are the majority.

As you correctly say, men are long overdue for a role change. Guinea pig, sacrificial goat, cannon fodder, family slave by court order, sperm donor and other such roles are just unacceptable.

It's bad enough that we have to clarify and define new roles, but it is even worse that we have a bunch of man-hating, oppressive radical/gender feminist trying to dictate who we are and what we are to do.

Men have for too long just let the "little ladies choose," and we have just worked the rest of our lives away to try to make them happy. Well, I certainly think many of us have learned that later point (try to make the little lady happy) is totally futile.

The time has come for men to choose for themselves who they are and what their rights and obligations are. There needs to be realistic discussions of privilege and responsibility regarding both genders instead of the women's studies 101 B.S. that has been enshrined into law in so many evil laws across our nation.

Again I see a parralell to Indians and men as a whole.
The federal government, through their mouth pieces the prodestant church and the B.I.A. (Buereau of Indian Affairs) told us we couldn't be Indians any more.
The boarding schools cut our childrens hair and forbade them to speak "Indian language".
The government out lawed our "religions". If we spoke our native languages or practiced our spiritualities we could be beaten, placed in prison, or even executed, in some rare cases.
We could not wear our traditional braids (where applicable) And if you were a "mixed-blood" (as I am)you HAD to identify yourself as white. (or black dependeing on heritage)But you could not be Indian.
Indians is what we were. Indians is what we ARE. No amount of law, rules or wishing would or could ever change that fact.
Eventually most people saw this. It is now fairly common to see an indian man or woman wearing a bone choker and/or hair in braids. (particulairly in California) Our "religions" were de-criminalized, We can wear our ribbon shirts again, hold powwows and reserect our native tounges. It took over 200 years, but we never stoped fighting for our identitys as Indians.
Now, in this day, it is MEN who face the EXACT same enemy.
The federal government has pretty much made it a crime to be a man. Feminist groups lable themselves as "pro-male" and then try to beat the maleness out of us. Just as the boarding schools claimed to have Indians' best interests at heart and then beat them for being Indians.
They would say; "Kill the Indian, save the person."
Now it is "kill the MAN save the person".
We Indians, because of the violent acts of a FEW Indians were (and often still are)branded as "violent savages", in the same way that men, as a whole are accused of being "violent savages" because of the acts of SOME men.
The parrallels are many. Too many to list here.
But I assure you that what happened to Indians and what is begining to happen to men, now, is EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
Both are chastised for there GOD GIVEN nature, and birth-right. Both are penalized and criminalized not for what they've done, but for who and what they ARE, Piriod.
I hope it will not take the 200 years it took my people to get it all back, for men as a whole to do the SAME.

TC:

Thanks, I really never thought about all those paralells until you pointed them out. You are right on the money.

Targeting and violating the human rights of one group of humans to satisfy the empowered agenda of another group is wrong. I thought the 60's was an age of enlightenment in this country where we learned to have respect for all, but I see now that the empowerment of the radical/gender feminists was just a transfer of power to another tryrannical hate movement. Sadly the radical/gender feminists are too dumb to have learned the lessons of history and too stupid to correct their mistakes when they are pointed out to them.

Let us hope the internet will expedite the changes that need to be made to releave the oppression that men today are experiencing. 200 years is just too long to wait for justice. I do suspect we will be stuggling with these issues for the rest of our lives no matter what happens.

We probably WILL struggle with this for the rest of OUR lives. But we do so for the same reason that my Cherokee acestors struggled for their sovernty and right to exist. And that is so the NEXT generation will be a bit better off than the last. and so that eventually comeing generations will only know oppression and bigotry against them as a page in history.
The difference between what Indians went through and what men as a whole are going through, now, is that MOST Indians WANTED to end the bigotry against them.
Sadly in MEN'S case there are so many MEN who PARTICIPATE with the feminists in oppressing their own gender.
We had Indian turn-coats, too, but not NEARLY on the same level that we have MALE turn-coats.
This, in my oppinion, is the LARGEST hurtle we as men will have to over come. Members of our OWN sex who beleive what feminism has done, and is doing, is RIGHT.
The odds are small that we will ever get feminists to see the error of their ways. I feel there is no way we will ever convince them. They are a force that will, in all likelyhood have to be fought to the very ground.
Other men will be hard to convince, especialy the deeply feminist indoctrinated ones, but I think we have a better chance of winning them over. But like I said, the feminists, NEVER. Ain't gonna happen. Them we will have to fight tooth and nail to the bitter end. We might even have to do it by physical force, if it comes to that. I hope it doesn't.
But in the end we all will HAVE to do what is necissairy to stop feminism. Even if it means civil war. For now we are trying the more diplomatic approach. Hopefuly that will do the trick, but if not..., Well we will have to do what we will have to do.

Their stated goals are : 1. Pro-Feminist 2. Gay-Affirmative 3. Anti-Racist 4. Dedicated to Enhancing Men's Lives

The episode was titled, "To Serve Man." The plot was that space aliens came to earth and made the deserts bloom, stopped war, ended poverty etc.

The aliens portrayed themselves as servants of mankind. But in reality they viewed earthlings the way Colonel Sanders viewed plump chickens. And so it is with this latest radical feminist inspired "To Serve Man" organization.

FYI: "To Serve Man" was the name of the alien's cookbook in the TZ episode.

This is the new strategy to stave off the decline of the Fem-Hags, Fem-Nags. Truth is that Men are wising up to the BS. Radical Islam is at war with us. The girlie Men will not fight nor will the Fem-Nags. Who will? Real Men. What an irony. We must defend the Girlie Men and their allies the Lesbian Fem-Hags and Misandric Fem-Nags. I wonder how they would react to a Breslan style Islamo Fascist attack on a Women's Studies Group? The Western Culture is dying thanks to these insane idiots. And too many of our Women are too selfish and self obssessed to see what is happening. I fear for my Grandchildren. My Son an Army Ranger is recovering from combat injuries.
My Step Son Lance Corporal USMC is on his way to Fallujah. My other two Sons will be draft age in just a few years. We need to jettison the baggage if we are to beat these Barbarians we are now facing. We need to jettison the Fem-Hags & Nags. ASAP.
