Men are broken, need fixing....

The Media ... or so says Ms. Beverly McPhail in this op-ed. Masculinity is so closely tied to violence, she reasons, that it must be re-invented for the good of all, most especially men.

Well perhaps she's right in a few senses-- men do suffer greatly from violence as being expected of them and as the targets of violence most of the time. But she utterly ignores the many acts of violence committed by women to pace those of men if not exceed them. More of the same, folks-- men are violent, women are not, men broken and inferior, women the model in all things and superior. More of the same.

The Houston Chronicle's summary of who she is is a bit lacking. Apparently she's more than a writer; she appears also to be a teacher of WST courses at the U of Houston as well; see here. The Chronicle's editor can be reached at viewpoints@chron.com.

Why blame only men for violence, then send so many men to be killed, and maimed in combat? Bone head articles like this one are the #1 reason why America must overcome its gender hypocrisy (and prejudice) and send radical/gender feminists and femi-supremacists (exclusively) to pay their dues combating terrorism, etc. Let American men set at home and enjoy the fat of the land (privileges) and write articles finding faults with women's reactions to the responsibilities and abuses that men have borne so disproportionately throughout history.

The only thing that radical/gender feminists have proven by their ideology is that any bigot can criticize others without actually knowing what their talking about.

"Is this hateful monster the typical American womyn?"

Yeah, close to about 3/4 of American and Western World 'womyn'. But at least Hitler had charisma and could hide his vile belligerent bigotry with romanticism (not lovey-dovey romance, I mean political wooing romance). But it was perverse, pseudo-romanticism. With Feminism, it's *just* vile belligerent bigotry meant to use the irrational rage of insecure, vindictive, and embittered women and girls to push their blatantly misandric gendercidal agenda.

Apparently this typically misandric bigotted mouth-piece for the Feminazi regime has never heard or refuse to acknowledge the toxic results of femininity? We all know them but let's review for the hell of it:

Abusive mothers can hide the fact that they abuse their children and husbands through the chivalrous and pro-maternalistic attitude of the courts and mass media that pampers women and girls because femininity and maternalism are seen as oh so morally superior, benevolent, and saintly.

Female students can play the feminine victimology card in order to get back at a male teacher who gave them an F on a test (and rightfully so because more often than not, the girl was a bimbo who never studied or pay attention in class), and use the chivalrous mass media and court system that caters to all things feminine and maligns all things masculine.

Women and girls can cry and get anything they want because males are taught to be chivalrous and always yield to whatever the female demands of him.

Wives can use their femininity and maternalism, and even their own children as if they were mere objects, to elicit more money, assets, and financial victimizing punishment of their husbands.

Women and girls can use the helpless feminine damsel manipulation to prevent themselves from being prosecuted for false allegations or physical abuse toward a male and shift the blame towards the male who will ultimately become defendant standing trial for crimes and abuse he did NOT commit.

Women and girls can use their femininity to sway a jury and court to their favor with their tears, words, dress, and body language.

Women and girls can use their oh so helpless and vulnerable femininity to exploit and elicit any damn thing they want through body language, lies, emotional manipulation, and sexploitation of our chivalrous and feminine-catering society. Obviously, there's more toxicity spewing from femininity these days because Feminism uses it to its advantage, even though they supposedly condem traditional femininity and chivalry. Oh but how they play it like a harp whenever they need some more power and influence within our society. Hypocrisy anyone?

Would you have used the same standards for "all Women," or "all Blacks," or "all Hispanics," or "all any other group?" I doubt it, for to accept the use of similar language for "all any other group" when only some have engaged in unacceptable behavior, would be to clearly identify yourselves as stereotyping sexists or racists.

The day will come - let's make it sooner rather than later - when everyone will recognise this stuff as the nonsensical bigotry that it really is.

The Poverty of Social Constructionism (again)

"the dangers of masculinity as it is presently constructed"

McPhail is quick to demonstrate her social constructionist credentials - no mention of the Y-chromosome here. Not only is social constructionism false, but it would not serve her political purposes even if it were true. There is no reason to think that something is easier to change just because it is a cultural artefact, or more difficult to change because it is a natural phenomenon. This is simply a misunderstanding (see 'Human Nature After Darwin: A Philosophical Introduction', Janet Radcliffe Richards, Routledge)

Furthermore, masculinity and femininity are complementary opposites, like left and right. It does not make any sense - even if biology was irrelevant, which it isn't - to talk of reconstructing masculinity while leaving femininity unchanged. It is like trying to change the meaning of the word 'up' while leaving the word 'down' unchanged. It just doesn't really make sense. It would make more sense if she talked about reconstructing 'gender'. However, it is not about making sense, it is about apportioning blame and moral authority. Men get the blame and women get the moral authority. There is no need to change femininity because women are already perfect. This is an arrogant, smug, self-serving (and nonsensical) position.

Denial of female complicity
"the struggle to avoid being called a wimp"
Not only does she neglect to mention violence committed by women, but she also neglects to mention women's role in the 'construction' of masculinity and male violence. Who is it that call men wimps? It is women. Each time a woman uses shaming language to humiliate a man, she is reinforcing 'masculine' stereotypes, yet I do not hear feminists advocate that women give up shaming language - in fact, they encourage it. Of course, feminists will never admit this - the unofficial doctrine is that although men are complicit in the construction of women's social role, women are somehow not complicit in the construction of men's social role.

Whose fault is it?
The question of blame is an interesting one.
(1) The problems of the world are caused by men, so it is men's fault.
(2) But it is not men themselves that are the problem, it is the way that masculinity has been socially constructed, so it is not men's fault, it is society's fault.
(3) However, only men are responsible for socially constructing masculinity (and society), so it is their fault after all.

Feminists are teasing us with an intellectual Dance of the Seven Veils.

Still more problems
However, if we are all blank slates, then how strange it is that only male blank slates are responsible for the problems of the world. This means that there are two groups of blank slates - those to blame (which strangely happens to be all the males), and those not to blame (which strangely happens to be all the females). Yet, if there are different groups among the blank slates, then they cannot be blank slates after all.

Once you start thinking it through, you quickly realise that feminist theory is an absolute mess. A complete and utter dog's breakfast. Perhaps it just looks that way to me because I am a nasty, horrible 'separate knower', not a cool, groovy 'connected knower'.

Selfless nobility
McPhail tries to inoculate herself against charges of hate-speech and bigotry: "it is not about hating men to point out the dangers of masculinity as it is presently constructed. In fact, it is done out of a caring for men and the desire for them to escape from an oppressive masculine script "

How noble she is. She only wants to help.

The Lunatics have taken over the Asylum

the desire for them to escape from an oppressive masculine script

This is a curious aspect of the feminazi mythology: Men have had all the power for the last few thousand years, and all they have done with it is to construct a prison for themselves. The poor misguided fools have locked themselves in a mental prison called masculinity, from which feminists only want to rescue them. Feminists nobly ask nothing for themselves, they only wish to selflessly help others.

The psychopathology of masculinity

"The underlying issue for men is fear and hatred of the feminine...Such attitudes underlie ... domestic violence and rape.

Christina Hoff Sommers commented on feminism's connection to the 'self-help/personal development' pop psychology movement - a very American phenomonon if I may say so - and that as a consequence, feminism prefers pop psychotherapeutic solutions to serious political debate. This is a good example.

All the problems in the world are apparently due to men's self-esteem problems, and if these are addressed, then, presumably, all the problems of the world will disappear. If only men would stop trying to win at basketball and learned to feel good about themselves, everything would be fine.

There are two things that strike me about feminism.
(1) What a hopelessly naive, over-simplistic world-view it is. Its only value is to make middle-class women feel cosy.
(2) The authoritarian rigour with which it is enforced.

It is the new religion in the Western world, and you will obey or else. Anyone who criticises it in any way will be made to suffer. This is the situation we live under. Bizarre, isn't it?

Feminism will continue as long as there is money to be made from hating men.

AngryMan,

Nice writing! Perhaps the best-reasoned post/brief analysis of feminism's psychotic "logic" I've ever read. Printed it out and will pass it around.

Dr. McPhail is apparently a gender-fascist of the first order. I Googled her name and turned up a few interesting references.

She co-authored a textbook titled "Confronting Sexism and Violence Against Women," excerpts can be read on amazon.com. The usual rad feminist dogma.

She authored a paper called "Questioning Gender and Sexual Binaries: Queer Theory." Link broken, so can't read how she proposes to "socially reconstruct" oppressive male/female biological distinctions.

She's made numerous presentations in the Houston area on abortion rights, domestic violence (against women only..), and more generally on the status of women.

Her U. of Houston course syllabus reads like a cookie-cutter version of classic mid-70's feminism. Nothing remotely creative or current.

Ms. McPhail is quoted in this gem of an article, also courtesy of the Houston Chronicle paper --

IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AN EPIDEMIC IN U.S.?

http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/features/95 /11/12/domestic.html

While not a McPhail quote - this example of delusional fem-anthropology from the brief article might tweak your interest in reading the whole travesty -- it ties in directly with the assault on masculinity, and reveals part of the mythology that fems have conjured:

"She and others have documented a long span of pre-history in which men and women lived together in peace and equality and worshiped female gods. But about 7,000 years ago, hordes of invading nomads toppled the goddesses and instituted male rule. The subjugation of women commenced. It hasn't stopped since."

I guess the first generation of baby "hordes" must have had some very poor mothers, who somehow slipped up on the suppression of masculinity.

The unavoidable conclusion of reading all this screed is that feminism is a cognitive/ behavioral disorder so pervasive that we now deserve a national commission to examine its causes and recommend appropriate and massive therapeutic interventions...

There is no scientific evidence for a pre-historic Matriarchal Golden Age, but that doesn't bother the feminists. It is a comforting little myth they can use to make themselves feel all cosy and warm.

I noticed the article "The Problem with Men" in your Dec. 4 editorial section. I would ask, why is this anti-male drivel still welcome in your paper? I suppose it's not surprising to find such a diatribe of the "dangers of masculinity" coming from a local women's studies professor - especially in a city that produced Clara Harris.

Yes, whether she openly admits it or not, Beverly McPhail is a man hater. Attacking "masculinity" instead of "men" is a poor attempt at slight-of-hand. It's a way to lump us all in with the Detroit Pistons, though most men have never been in a fight in their entire adult lives. And haven't we all heard the lame excuse for excluding women from equal participation in wars and draft registration? "It's men who start wars, so men should fight them." So, if Hillary gets elected I expect her first act as president will be to release all men from the military and replace them with women - just in case she starts a war.

If nothing else, this editorial offers an insight into what is being taught to young women in women's studies courses. It is nothing short of pseudo-scientific justification of the feminist hatred of all things male. It should serve as another warning to men everywhere to wake up and oppose this ideological war that is being waged against us.

"The Problem with Men," (op-ed, Dec. 4) read like a review of race relations by a member of the KKK. This sort of crap has been published in newspapers for the past thirty years. It time to move on to reality.

Start with the grossly underreported problem of domestic violence against men, a problem that persons like Ms. McFail have been doing their best to obscure and ignore. But real journalist are started to report reality. See e.g. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1353322, 00.html

Then move on to reproductive rights. The story is simple: men don't have any, while persons like Ms. McFail act as if a restriction on partial birth abortion has huge implications for "reproductive rights," which, in her view, are for women only. For the young man who just had sex, unplanned parenthood and life-shaping "child support" payments are just a government-created risk that he has to face.

And does anyone care that the life expectancy of white woman like Ms. McFail is more than a decade greater than that of black men? But of course, their social security retirement payments are the same. Insurance is disaggregated by sex only when, as for car insurance, males have to pay higher rates.

I could go on and on. I'd like to see your paper just start to publish some interesting opinions, instead of the standard anti-male hate that bigots like Ms. McFail have been peddling for years.

For her next assignment, I suggest that you send Ms. McFaul out to crawl around caves in Afganistan looking for heavily armed terrorists. It's women's turn to do that duty.

This is what sticks in my throat the most - the hypocrisy of it.

The fact is that for all their posturing, these women like masculinity, can't get enough of it, spend half their time complaining about how there aren't any masculine men around any more.

The rest of the time, they spit hatred against manhood and masculinity, and do their utmost to discredit and undermine masculinity.

WTF?

The only way I can make sense of this is to see it as manipulation. The idea is to constantly keep men on the defensive, keep them guessing, keep them squirming, keep them ashamed. That way you can control them and maximise your own power.

There are many issues facing men today, fathers' rights, false accusations and so on, but I sometimes think that nothing is more urgent than understanding and exposing psychological and emotional manipulation. It is ubiquitous, and under-recognised.
