Cornell Apologies to Men....kinda?
posted by Matt on 12:47 PM October 8th, 2004
The Media thea writes "On October 7, Zach and Alex wrote an article under Opinions called 'Editor's Note' at (you may have to scroll down and look to the right or look it up under Red Letter Daze) saying they concede that had the bigoted article been a man wanting to commit mass gendercide on women, then the Cornell would have been in deep trouble. And because of their immature and disrespectful remarks to Male readers they have been forced to resign. But at the end of the article you ask yourself "WTF?""

Resigning a joke, or just the apology? (Score:1)

It isn't clear if their resignation and apology both are a joke, or just the apology. By finishing their writing with "(Just Kidding)" they are making it clear that one or both of these things are not sincere, which doesn't surprise me at all. I imagine in 10 years, maybe less, they will be ashamed of themseleves. But remembering what I and others my age were like when I was their age, I recall that self-examination was hard to do, and actually admitting errors in judgment were rarely done. With age usually cometh humility, at least enough to know when to be serious and when it's OK to cut up some. Ultimately these two are still just boys, but bigted, anti-male males who have been 'educated' into hating their own gender. Maybe this experience will cause them to start questioning their behaviors and attitudes, maybe it won't. One thing is for sure - these two guys are young and have lessons in life to learn. They'll learn them soon enough I am sure.

They are just digging their graves:

1) A diatribe against men
2) An 'apology' that, among other thigns, suggests that men's activists beat their wives.
3) An editor's letter that is dicking around.

What you do is hurt them in the pocket book, write to their advertisers (look at the banner ads, and if they have a print version, ads in there) and write to them. Ask them if they think 1,2,3 listed above is supported by them, and if not what they plan to do to rectify the issue (i.e. stop supporting them).

There must be someone above the editor, please do some digging and find the email addresses to these people, the owners, the publishers, and the advertisers.

Not so much.

P.S. For those who are interested, I am still waiting to hear from A.I.M. (American Indian Movement) Nothing yet.
They may or may not contact me, about this. They are pretty buisy, so don't be too disapointed if they don't reply. Indian activism is very hard work, too, just as men's activism can be.
Indian activists have to work 70 times harder than feminists to get our message out, because un-like feminists, the media ignores Indian activists.

Listen you smart alecs, I have been fighting the culture of mysandry for almost as long as both of you have been alive summed together. And let me tell you from VERY sad experience...this includes people...good decent people...people who have never wronged any woman in any way...railroaded by feminist witch hunt inspired courts into loosing decades of their lives...and several men...good decent men...including the president of a Theological College...driven to suicide for no earthly good reason...just an epidemic of political insanity.

You guys complained before that you have'nt gotten laid lately. Don't you think for one minute that just because the feminists you have decided to be sicophantic friends of won't screw you that they won't screw you over. My experience has been that it is the men who sing the loudest in their choir who they screw over the most viciously. If you doubt my words, write to Kevin Ross, c/o Corrections Canada Millhaven Ontario and ask him if he thinks it is wise or prudent to dismiss me as a crank.

You may think this is some sort of a lark. The media you have been given the chance to play with is a powerfull tool. It can ruin lives...it can kill. At least show the responsibility that I hope you do when you drive a car.

I am not at all sorry you lost your jobs. It's completely appropriate and in line with your actions.

The "womb" of college ain't like the real world kiddos. Most of America is sick-to-death of P.C. B.S. and one of the few places it still exists is in our colleges.

Be happy you only lost your editorial jobs. Not too far in the future you would have been expelled and had you been OUTSIDE of college you would have been fired and destroyed your careers, and all the attending work that had gone into those efforts. You got off light.

Men's groups do not promote hate, and listening to Nat'l Socialists Feminists like Weiss define men's groups, especially in light of her view of MEN in general, will only give you wrong information.

I invite you to try some men's sites and see what our issues are:

National Coalition for Free Men (NCFM)
His Side (Hisside.com) with Glenn Sacks
Men's News Daily (Mensnewsdaily.com)
iFeminists.com

We are commmitted to equality and fairness. And if you see some anger there, place the blame on women like Anna Weiss and her goose stepping moron sisters who claim victimhood while standing on the necks of men who don't even know her.

I hope you learned from this.

It occurs to me you two jokers really don't get it. So let me use my trusty "clue-by-four."

Your P.C. college buddies probably think you're a riot. The feminists will, for as long as it suits their mercurial temprament, treat you as their darlings. And you'll laugh about this ... as long as you are in college.

Understand this, and without sarcasm, ire, nor malice I offer this free advice:
If either of you is going into advertising, journalism, PR, HRO, public policy, gov't work, or a myriad other fields: this article is going to follow you for many many years.

Not because of anything I do, nor any other person here. No, it's squarely on your shoulders.

Try to imagine that you want to become journalists (total guess on my part). Your managing editor or HRO rep is looking over your resume and past clippings. Some of these savy people will simply type your name into a Google search to see what you published that your DIDN'T bring them. What political acts you are involved in, who you have written about, and any other info that is "out there" on the web.

Don't think it won't happen. It takes about 5-10 seconds to type the name, and less than 5 minutes to look up your past on the 'net. With litigation, vetting processes, and people who have done atrocious things in their past possibly being on a payroll ... guys, you have stapled this set of ridiculous articles to every resume you will submit for the next 10 years.

Try it sometime: type your name into a Google search. See what comes up. You'd be surprised.

And then realized that this succession of stunts has cost you more than if you were arrested for drunken brawling, smoking dope, or some other forgivable "juvie" offense. Because you did this stone cold sober (if not, I wouldn't admit it, it'd just be worse).

You wrote in an Ivy League paper how you thought the imprisoning, enslaving, and humiliation of men was just fine with you.

And when people reacted, you called them names and used language more suited to a locker room than an editorial position.

And even in your "swan song" *(if you are truly leaving) you didn't have the good graces to realize that reality (that sphere of influence that exists outside college) had slammed you in the face.

Ask yourself a serious question: If you were an Editor, or a HRO rep, would YOU hire someone who is already legally vulnerable and expose your organization legally by having either of you on staff?

The P.C. 90's are over, and the Rad-Feminist gravy train's salad days are over. The rest of the country is setting it aside. We're moving on.

You may wish in a few years you hadn't acted like buffoons who were high on their own juice, but it's gonna follow you. And despite what you think, I feel for ya. Why? Because I made some mistakes when I was young and ignorant too. And I paid for some of them for YEARS. Doors that I didn't know even existed at the time were closed.

If this truly was your last chance to show your sorrow at a realization of a mistake you wasted it. And long after I've forgotten you, you'll still remember the repercussions.

So, go out, get drunk, party hardy, and play in college while you can. Come graduation (and reality) it's gonna hurt.

L. Steven Beene II is correct. The infantile bilge, which was poured out by Ms. Weiss and the (hopefully) former editors of the Sun, will probably follow you for years to come. If, in the future, I were to work for the same company as any of you, including Weiss, and I felt that any of you harassed me, I might take action for that alone. But if I found out that the company had hired you after learning about the hatred that you have written and published, I would sue the company and any individual involved in the hiring process who knew about these former actions of yours. And believe me, any company that learns of these actions of yours will know that, if they hire you, they will face such a possible lawsuit.

Anyone who knows about this incident, and who competes for you in any situation where this is in any way relevant, would do well to bring all this up -- the original article, the subsequent statements by the editors, the readers' responses, the fact that the editors were forced to resign, if indeed you have resigned, and the ultimately snide tone of the editors' resignation announcement.

This all may well, and certainly should, haunt you for a long time. As Anina (a woman, by the way) stated, "Misandry is as welcome in this world as racism, misogyny, and homophobia."

I hope for your sake that, despite your pettiness to the end, you have all learned something from this. The days of getting a free pass, while spreading anti-male hatred, are over.

It's not clear whether or not the editors really resigned. If they did, however, I think it's worth thanking those who demanded the resignation. Here's my second response:

"The 'just kidding' at the end of the resignation leaves it unclear whether or not these characters have, in fact, resigned. Assuming that they did resign, I would like to thank those who demanded the resignation. I hope that you took your actions not to save face but rather out of a genuine concern over the anti-male hatred expressed in the article by Weiss and the reactions by the editors to readers' responses.

"In addition, I hope that fair-minded women in the hall overseen by Weiss are demanding at the very least a formal, sincere, public apology by her to all men. Then again, I suspect that any fair-minded women in Weiss' hall may be cowed by the solidarity of the feminist sisterhood. Courage may be required.

"Again, hoping that the editors have resigned and that they were forced to resign for their misandry, thank you."
