CBS 60 Minutes: 5,500 MEN have deserted the U. S.
posted by Adam on 01:20 PM December 10th, 2004
The Media mens_issues writes "Tonight’s 60 Minutes (CBS) episode concerned 5,500 MEN deserting the military during the war in Iraq. It's interesting that the media always talks about over 100,000 MEN and WOMEN fighting in Iraq, but when it comes to soldiers deserting the military for Canada every last one of them is a man. Here’s the story: here Let CBS know how you feel about this sexism by writing them at: CBS Click on "Feedback" at the bottom of the home page. Steve"

Quite a valid point you make. I'm sure there are servicewomen who have fled to Canada or wherever.

In addition, if women want to get out of Iraq, all they have to do is become pregnant. Women did this in droves during the Gulf War, and I'm sure it is happening this time around. Where are the figures on the number of pregnant servicewomen? Why is this ignored? I will include this in my email to CBS.

"I'm sure there are servicewomen who have fled to Canada or wherever."

I would definitely like to see some concrete verification on the numbers of female deserters 1st.

I have my doubts that women are fleeing to Canada in any significant numbers given the fact that they are only 2% to 3% of all deaths and casualties in Iraq. They just aren't in that much danger to begin with, and don't have the same life and death motivation that the more greatly endangered male soldiers do.

Or to put it another way, misandrist America says, "A Man's Gotta Do What A Man's Gotta Do," but doesn't impose the same responsibility on America's over-prvileged females.

Ah yes. Way to use your bodies sisters. How disgusting. And these are the same kind of dishonorable women who groan about men using women's bodies as a means of oppression, exlpoitation, etc. How clever of Feminism to teach women in a subliminal manner that they can use their bodies as a means of power and influence, and yes, more privelege. By any means, according to Feminism. Machiavelli would have been proud. Once again, it seems that some women are choosing to "exploit" and "oppress" themselves, and I have no sympathy for them.

uuhhhm, most of the political idealogical mouths here are libertarian/conservatives who have many upon many negative things to sat about liberals (I am not a liberal).

I have come to this site off and on for a couple years or so and in fact more than once I have read conservative posters saying that a Liberal cannot be in the mens movement. Then they associate these men with feminists, ie. '"the enemy".

There is one poster I have read here and there who has been trying to point out that it is defeating to the mens movement to ostricize half the male population because of some men simply not being of the (mann's) politically correct party affiliation.

The statement above that you cut and pasted is nothing compared to the numerous anti-liberal statements of the oridnary male liberal voter.

I personally don't care if someone says how they feel about a party or politician (the particluar politican in this thread that we speak is sending many men, both Iraqi and American men to their deaths while everyone else is sitting on their asses).

I don't even agree with the original poster's statement. I don't believe anyone will have these soldiers backs. certainly not the ones who benefit from war.

I mean look around. The majority here is not Liberal. And since that is the case when someone says anything against conservativism/conservatives it boldly stands out to the conservative's eyes while glossing over all the anti-liberal rhetoric on this site...

(as a side point I have been reading a popular liberal site and have been suprised to see that some men are speaking up about things that I had never seen before from when I would go there a couple of years ago)

but oh well...all this infighting is why I drop in and out of being around these sites.

That would probably be me. The fact that that men in the Democratic party are just as likely to be hurt by feminism hasn't seem to have occured to a large number of conservatives in the men's movement. Also, some wont admit the fact that conservative Republican politicians have done plenty to hurt men as well.

Conservatives in the men's movement should be more like Glen Sacks, who is more interested in taking on people based on what they actually do, rather than just their party affiliation. They should be less like the guys over at Men's News Daily, who tend to be a cabal of rabid neocons who are more interested in attacking anything liberal rather than actually helping men. I really think their permanent link on this site should be replaced with one that is more interested in building alliances than partisan politics that don't help anyone.

If you are truly interested in building alliances, how about just giving us a liberal site that is pro male, and, or anti-radical feminist - if there are any? Men certainly need all the support they can get.

Are you so blinded by your political iedology that you cannot see the many upon many anti-liberal statements on this site?

My original point was that you (?was it you, I have no idea you speak in terms of "we" when all the conservative posts have been A.U.'s)
were complaining about how a LITTLE anti-Bush statement Liberal bigotry that was trying to pick a fight with the conservatives here. THIS is what I was addressing.

The conservatives on this site can say all the anti-liberal comments they wish , yet when a Liberal says an anti-conservative comment he is accused of trying to pit fights against the conservatives.

I was flipping this back on the you the conservative (or who knows, you speak of "we")...

If it the case that when Liberals make anti-conservative statements they are, as you put it, "constantly trying to pick a non men's issues, political arguement with conservative men"...Then it is just the case with the conservatives on this site who pick non-mens issues, or otherwise, to spout their anti-liberal rhetoric.

Unlike feminists, YOU cannot have it both ways.

If you dish it out, you better be able to take it.

If you don't want it dished out to yourself, then don't serve it out to others.

It is THIS hypocrisy with some conservative mens right-ers who at the very least, help create their self-fullfilled prophecy of Liberal men not wanting to participate with the mens movement.

I believe there is quite a bit of projection in the above post.

(by the way, your challenge for me, or anyone else to find you pro-mens right sites/anti radicals feminist sites is pointless to what I am saying. Why would LIberal men even feel welcome here when they not only have to put up with being ostracisized for their views (which is the minority here), but to not be allowed to dish out what they get served?)

That's been the point I was trying to make. And I believe that has been ignored.

Do you really not see the anti-liberal comments on this site? If not, I'd suggest in the future to take notice when you do see it so that you do not so easily get offended when you read an anti-conservative comment next time. Even if that comment has nothing at all to do with men's issues.

Mensactivism.org aims to be as apolitical as possible. Liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and people from other political backgrounds should be able to find something of interest on this site. Also, we believe that there are ways to promote men's rights through political activism with most political parties, and encourage people to do so. Thus, we will occasionally report on a political party or candidate's activity when it is related to men's rights, but this in no way endorses or condemns any party or candidate as pro- or anti-male......

Have you not seen all the many posts making Democratic party out to be the anti-male party and the Republican the male pro-male party>?

I think it'd be quite the feat to not have seen this here. Would this not possibly ostracize potential pro-male liberals who vehenmently dissagree with the Republican platform, but who are still interested in mens rights?

I am not a Liberal, nor am I conservative. But this is partly why I do say that I am a part of the mens movement to just anyone. I don't want to be associated as being a conservative.

That's quite a statement coming from the hypocritical liberal camp, which is solidly under the same tent as the man-hating, liberal, radical feminists. I guess I just don't see the value of compromising with an ideology that spends so much effort destroying the lives of innocent men. Personally, I despise anything that is even remotely connected with radical feminism, let alone something that is so solidly aligned with radical feminism as the liberal agenda or the progressive agenda. They have both worked hard in the name of radical feminism to destroy traditional families, and heterosexual men in the process. Supposedly women are empowered in the process, but a lot of women are not happy with radical feminism either.

If liberal man-hating bigots want to bash conservative men, then they too had better be able to take it. I for one am sick of those worthless MRA's who give so much aid and comfort to radical feminism, while lying and trying to make it sound as if men's oppression is coming equally from conservatives. Wake up, all the radical feminists voted Democrat in the last election. The Democrat party is driving men away in droves by being the prime supporters of the radical feminist agenda.

The same way conservative men can be part of a party that promotes fundamental Christian fanaticism. The left has feminist fruitcakes and the right has Christian fundies pushing Princess priviledges and chivalry as law. The right is just as guilty of pushing for big alimony and child-support measures. The whole 'Deadbeat Dad' theory has law-and-order conservatism written all over it.

Yeah, I'm a liberal. Took me a long time to accept that label. I like weekends. I like the 40-hour work week. I don't think a credit check should be necessary for an appendectomy. I don't think Halliburton and Bechtel should dictate the DOE's policy on energy. I think we lost the drug war a decade before I was born. I like civil rights. I believe everyone should be equal under the law. I like a social safety net. I'm opposed to inherited astronomical wealth. The vanishing middle class worries me. The stagnation of real wages worries me. The emergence of an American aristocracy worries me. I think every American is entitled to a good education. I believe in the separation of Church and state.

It'd be a tougher choice if the right hadn't abandoned fiscal responsibility and opposition to foreign military adventures.

None of which has much of anything to do with Men's Rights. About the only left/right split I see as being divisive here is whether abortion should be banned outright and denied to everyone, or if equivalent choices should be extended to men.

They don't care for ALL men. So to have to choose either mysandry or poverty, I'd choose mysandry. And this is why some men choose to vote Democratic even when some of their agenda is mysandric.

This is how some men feel. They must put up with feminist mysandry because it's better than the other choice.

Yes, I see, but as you say it is a matter of personal priorities, and I think the hypocrisy and overt misandry that lives under the big tent of the Democrat party is far more dangerous to men. I'm of the opinion that far more Fathers and men are having their lives destroyed by the Democrat feminist agenda.

Perhaps it would be good if some MRA dispassionately, or passionately, listed the primary way that men are oppressed by each party, and give concrete examples.

Now here's what I'd really like to see, "How are men exponentially, synergistically oppressed, discriminated against by being subjected to chivalrous accountability on the right (which excludes females from the same accountability), while the liberal "women are better than men, can do a better job than men" further damages men on the left? How are men exponentially oppressed by outrageous Democrat radical laws on the left, while the Republican right acquiesces to misandrist sexual harassment, domestic violence, child support, child custody, divorce, etc. laws?

It's outrageous to be sent by your country to the front lines of combat to die in war, while the same country is openly saying women could do a better job, then hypocritically America grants women privileged exemption from ground combat.

Even though I still feel that it is primarily the Democrat party waging the war on men by giving the radical feminists their base to operate from, the Republicans are aquiesing to the injustice that the democratic radical feminists create.

America is provably a hateful and bigoted nation against men, because primarily men are being sent to die in combat in Iraq by a Republican administration, while the Democrat radical feminist party wages war against men at home using that war as yet another proof of the violent nature of all men.

There is no doubt that there is a two pronged front in the war against men. #1 a direct assault by the radical Democrat party, and #2, an indirect assault of (A.) Republican aquiesence to the direct assault, and (B.) outdated notions of chivalry imposed on men that set men up for further exploitation by the direct assault of Radical Democrat feminists.

Liberal bigotry my ass. The complaint was over how Men's News Daily (they seem to have forgotten all about the Men part) is rabbidly anti-liberal. This is not a smear, its a simple fact. Deal with it. Here, I'll prove it to you: read any column on the left side of the page. Highlights include "The Racism of White Liberals Must Be Assailed Now", "The Nuclear Solution to Judicially Imposed Atheism" and "The Gay Agenda vs. Family Values". And that's not even looking at the forums. How many essays deal with men's activism? Going by the titles, zero.

When in the next post it was asked to give example(s) of liberal sites that are pro men's rights, and, or anti-radical feminist, the question is not subsequently answered.

Because that question is a Red Herring the size of Free Willy. Just because Ralph Nader and Micheal Moore haven't started their own SuperBlueMensRights.com website, in no way excuses the rabid attacks on anyone on the "left" from columnists on MND or posters like yourself here.

And what good would that serve? You want to split a tiny movement in half along arbitrary political lines that are irrelevant to the issues? What is interently liberal or conservative about passing paternity fraud laws or shared custody bills?

Personally, I'm grateful that somebody is challenging the liberal bigot(s) who come on this site attacking conservative men out of the blue, and then trying to cast the blame on conservative men for starting it.

You sir, are full of shit. Go back and look at my origional post. Am I complaining about conservatives? No. Am I complaining about conservative issues? No. Am I complaining about specific fucking idiot rednecks like you who attacked us first? Hell yes.

If you are remotely serious about men's activsm, why are you going out of your way to ATTACK PEOPLE WHO WANT THE SAME THINGS YOU DO. Has the possiblitiy ever gotten into your thick skull that there are plenty of male Democrats who are or can be for men's rights? We wouldn't be on this site if that weren't the case. If you have an iota of sense in your body, you'll stop bitching about ALL liberals and instead focus on the INDIVIDUALS causing the problem, reguardless of wether that person is "liberal" or "conservative". And you'll welcome and shake the hand of any men's rights activism, REGAURDLESS of wether he is a liberal or not.

Guys like you have to make a decision. You can either keep hurting this movement by driving away people who want to join it before you know jack about them, or you can work together to build alliances and get things done. You can only pick one. The choice is up to you.

"Are you English or retarded? Every Republican on record voted for VAWA."

I just got this email from Glenn Sacks, and guess who Micael Moore (famous Democrat) equates to being the batterer, and who he equates to being the victim in a suppossed domestic violence relationship between Republicans and Democrats. I haven't seen this kind of liberal bigotry since CA State Senator Sheila Kuehl lied by creating the famous Super Bowl Sunday Myth to help get VAWA passed. Isn't interesting that Democrats like Barbara Boxer U.S. Senator from CA and other Democrats bragged about authorship of VAWA on thier web sites, but no Republicans did?

Clearly, the Democrats are still jamming the domestic violence lie on everyone, but your lies and their lies will not go unchallenged any longer. You and your ilk have done far to much damage to good innocent men.

As far as I'm concerned the men's rights movement would be far, far, far better off without lying man hating democrats in it. If you want to be a democrat and work to overcome the obvious, overwhelming heterophobic man hating that is in your party, that's fine, start there.

Here's an excerpt from Glenn Sacks email:

"Michael Moore's recent, controversial letter It's Time to Stop Being Hit draws an analogy between the relationship between Republicans and Democrats and that between abuser and abused. I'll refrain from commenting on the partisan politics involved but instead note that throughout the letter Moore and the woman he approvingly quotes follow the strict "men as abusers/women as victims" line. This line defies the credible research on the subject. To learn more about the myth that only men abuse, see my column Plaintiff in Suit Against LA DV Shelters is Right to Demand Services for Abused Men (Los Angeles Daily News, 6/12/03). To learn more about Michael Moore's relentless man-bashing, see my column Michael Moore, You Used to Be My Hero (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, 2/8/04)."

That definitivly proves two things: 1) the price of rice in China is 10 cents a pound, and 2) you are the dumbest person to ever string a complete sentence together. As if ONE person making ONE statment proves ANYTHING about MILLIONS of people. Seriously, how stupid are you?

But okay, lets play by your rules and go by quotes. Linda Chavez, conservative columnist: "As tragic as the death of a father is in a young child's life, it simply can't compare to the loss of a mother." "Female soldiers, including young mothers, should not have to pay the price for Pentagon bureaucratic blunders and gender-based recruiting quotas that have caused apparent shortages in male soldiers for the new land-combat brigades," said one Mrs. Donnelly in a story still on the main page of this site. John Cassick(not sure how to spell his last name) from the O'reilly Factor: "I think this men's rights movement, quite frankly, was founded by a bunch of guys drinking beer one night, mad that they gotta do child support payments...I think its just irresponsible".

So, by your standards, ALL conservatives hate men THREE TIMES AS MUCH as ALL liberals combined. So do you want to keep going with your bullshit generalizations, or do you want to start going after the responsible INDIVIDUALS as I said before?

I haven't seen this kind of liberal bigotry

Oh please. Ann Coulter. Sean Hannity. You want to talk about bigotry, these guys spit out more of it in one paragraph in one chapter of one of their books than Moore has done in his entire career. But then, they'd revoke all your Neocon Merit Badges if you weren't total hypocrites on a regular basis, wouldn't they?

Why don't you go back and re-read that email, and count how many times Glenn Sacks bitches about liberals. Watch and learn, grasshopper.

The hate war on men is a product of the radical/gender feminists who are firmly in the democrat tent. That is the source of the current hate war on men.

Republicans are opposed to the rabid hate that is being generated by the radical/gender feminist democrat party.

Nancy Pfotenhauer, President of the Independent Women's Forum writes about IWF being mentioned in Mother Jones, "An imaginative move. IWF twice opposed the Violence Against Women Act and continues to lobby against its enforcement. An antifeminist group funded by the usual consortium of right wings foundations... IWF also vehemently opposes affirmative action; Title IX, which provides for equal educational opportunity; Take Our Daughters to Work Day..."

Nancy Pfotenhauer was appointed, along with another IWF member to the National Advisory Committee on Domest Violence by then Attorney General John Ashcroft. Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney was a former board member of IWF.

WRONG! YOU are the one who's harming the men who want to "get back their rights". Its a fact and I'll prove it to you right now:
  • You'd rather spend your time bitching about liberals than actually talking about men's rights
  • I am a liberal. This automatically grants me large doses of neocon bigotry, nevermind the fact that I don't like feminists and am for men's rights.
  • Orrin Hatch is a conservative Republican. This automatically grants him total immunity from being attacked by neocons like you, despite the fact that he cosponsores VAWA legislation.
The fact that you would rather attack someone who AGREES with you on mens rights rather than attack someone who actively WORKS AGAINST MEN proves there is a serious amount of excrement between your ears.

Republicans are opposed to the rabid hate that is being generated by the radical/gender feminist democrat party.

WRONG! Here, check out the rabid hate put out by a Republican on the O'Reilly Factor. And of course you still ignore the fact that the VAWA was overwhelmingly passed by the GOP and that Republican Attorney Generals have gone after "deadbeat dads" with a passion.

Dude I already proved you WRONG on this! Lay off the tardlogic! If the existence of the IWF proves that the Republican party is free from feminist influence, then by the same token, the presense of liberals in the men's rights movement proves that the Democrtas are free from liberal influence.

Here's another conservative chivalrous tid bit, "Most conservative, chivalrous Republicans oppose women in combat." You see they believe that there are distinct biological differences between men and women, and that gender is largely not to a social construction, but a biological one. Saddly again, the radical/gender feminist democrats support our biological gender as being largely a social construction. As we all know, social roles are and can be socially constructed, but biology has certain hard wiring aspects that are not easily changed (if at all) by social gender re-engineering. Radical/gender feminists in the democrat big tent have done enormous damage to men, children, women, and traditional families with their vodoo tinkering with biological facts.

The damage that is being done to men today is largely a result of the decades of support that democrats have waged for radical/gender feminism, and the subsequent disruption it has created in all areas of our society.

It would not be for ALL men. Just the politically correct men, conservative men, or at least only the men who agree with you. Quite authoritarian in my opinion and detrimental to the growth of the MENS movement.

You got a dick?, you want to better mens lives?, you're in the mens movement. Interesting how you don't see this.

Party's can change, and they do over time just as people do, why? Because party's are made of PEOPLE whose minds also change. If it were not for this little thing the mens movement would be hopeless.

So it is quite pointless to ostracize, marginalize, and demonize someone who is for mens rights and who wants to be a part of the mens movement, who happen to also be a liberal in the party you see as the enemy. Do you not see that those within the party that is your enemy----(and I stress 'your' enemy because not all see as you do, and so far you don't seem to be having the whole mens movement behind you. Do you realize that Warren Farrel is a Democrat who ran for governor of the state of California?????If not, why? Is he your enemy too? Where's the Warren Farrel Republican?)------who have people who are changing their views on men are an asset>? How will the party that you hate so much change if the people withn that party don't change first?

Unless, of course, you are just not wanting Liberals to join up with the mens movemnet because what you are really wanting is for everyone to join up with the conservatives to change society's views on men. Which would give me the opinion that your view of the mens movement is not really am inclusive movement for all men. But an ideologically conservative mens movement for 'only' those men who agree with and want, the realization of conservatism as a whole, for society.

Their really would be no need to fear pro-male Liberals joining the mens movement unless, I would think, it was also a threat against 'un-related' male issues being promoted within, and outside, the mens movement, ie, society.

For if the Liberals change their views on men and treat men better, thus changing the Democratic Party's views and treaments of the male gender there would be no other reasn for them not to be a part of are true "MENS" movement.

It is conservative women who want housewife elevated to the status of a job, and it is conservative women who reject the glass ceiling myth, and it is conservative women who are opposed to abortion.

What you are doing is judging conservative women by the standards of those lunatic radical/gender feminists that share your big democrat tent.

If you want to be a men's rights activist why don't you work on the radical/gender feminists in your own party that are making men's lives a living hell before you pretend that you are a men's rights acitivists. I doubt the integrity of anyone who shares a tent with those man hating bigots.

Most of your above post is an angry rant based on emotion.

"I atually don't support chivalrous female privilege so you are wrong again."

Did not your conservative argument against liberals have conseravtives saying that women should not be in combat because of biological differences?

Did you not use this example to show how conservatives are different than liberal feminists>? And so therefore conservatives better for men than liberals?

If not, what exactly was your whole point?

It is also conservative women who want to keep their traditrional gender role while I as a man do not want to be in my traditional gender role.

From my point of view as someone who wants better lives for men, ie. myself, I don't want the traditional gender role. You can have it. And you will since you admit that conservatives think gender roles are strictly biologically based in your example. Your example was using biology to reinforce traditional female privilege.

Liberal feminists won't argue that point. They will only argue it if women don't have the choice to join the military. They don't want women to get rid of the traditional aspects of their gender that benefit women and this is how conservative women and liberal women can shake hands at times.

They both want traditional gender roles. They just argue on what and how much.

So, you as a conservative also support feminism to some extent as well.

None the less...You do not speak for the mens movement. Not only to try to speak for the mens movement you stay anonymous doing it.

Well they certainly should be said against democrat lawmakers, because that is the source of the radical/gender feminist man-hating that destroys the lives of so many men in our society so deal with it. The radical/gender feminists own the democrat party. If you and your liberal friends want to try to minimize that, then you should get off the internet. It is the radical/gender feminists in the democrat party who have created the man hating sexual harassement laws, the domestic violence laws (and ran it down Republicans throats).

When you go to college campuses, and look at the text books, you see the liberal feminist agenda in any number of books, and when you take the classes you hear the bigots teachings the feminist doctrine, and find out they are all democrats so don't waltz around the hard fact that the vast majority of hellish family law situations today have been created by democrats.

You sound to me like you are full of stupidity and hatred to dwell in a party that is dedicated to the destruction of traditional families, heterosexual men, women and children. I want nothing to do with that pack of intolerant bigots who are so hull of hatred that they are "tyrants of tolerance," and bigots against innocent people.

I really don't see them concretely contributing, just distracting men from the fact that the democrat party is the source of the radical/gender feminist, misandrist, hate laws that are destroying traditional families, and heteroseuxal men, women, and children in the name of their bigoted radical/gender feminist agenda.

So am I denying that the Democratic party is also mysandric? Am I? YOU are not simply taking what I said out of context but you are ignoring it and making me say something I NEVER said. In fact I said they had mysandry for some of their agenda..

You said----"Not only are you bigoted against men's rights for not, #1, confronting the man hating bigotry that goes on in the dumocrap party, you are hypocritical for denying that bigotry as the major cause of the misandry that men face in America."

If you re-read what you said you will notice that you separate out me supposedly denying the "source" (which I do not believe is the source, but part of the many tools feminists use) from----"you are hypocritical for denying that bigotry as the major cause of the misandry that men face in America."

So you separated out the source, saying I was bigoted against men for that. But ALSO because "you are saying.....that I Deny that bigotry is the major cause of misandry"

and again, how does that make sense?

you answered me correctly---""It doesn't"

What do political labels have to do with men's rights? This movement is plenty small enough without people trying to divide it up among arbitrary, irrelevant lines.

I'm reluctant to advocate tearing down Men's News Daily's link, since I don't really see any other sites out their making MND's effort to put up lots of news stories about things that are effecting men's lives.

Except MND doesn't do any such thing. Go check out their site, you have to hunt to find articles that affect men, and most of those are anti-feminist rants more than anything. Instead you'll find articles on how "The Racism of White Liberals Must Be Assailed Now" and "The Nuclear Solution to Judicially Imposed Atheism".

so please get your liberal friends to counter it with a pro men's rights site. We're all waiting.

The point is to keep irrelevant politics OUT of the men's movement, not add to it.

Now, tell me, based on his articles or his radio show, if Glen is conservative or liberal. Tell me he's going to support or decry politicians based strictly on their party affiliation.

I was away, and I didn't catch this thread before. I think it's important that the men's movement should include all men. All men face the same problems caused by feminism, and we can't afford to turn people away just because they vote for one party rather than the other. We have enough to do fighting feminism.

Someone said that liberal statements made on this site were a feminazi plot to divide the men's movement. That's either a cheap attempt to ensure that the movement stays on the Right, or that person needs to seek professional help.

It shouldn't matter which party you vote for. If you are a man, you face widespread discrimination, a shorter life-span, more chance of dying of all of the major diseases, more chance of being killed at work. You have no reproductive rights, you face the ever-present possibility of being falsely accused of sexual harrassment, assault or rape, the ever-present possibility of being conscripted to die in a war you don't understand or support. In the event of a divorce, which feminism actively promotes, you face the liklihood of losing your children and having to continue paying for them. If a woman attacks you, you will probably get the blame for it.

Please, guys, do not waste time arguing about liberal and conservative. The movement should be big enough to embrace men of all backgrounds.

I get the impression that the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative' mean slightly different things in North America than they do in Europe. Both US parties seem very Right-wing from a European standpoint.

The Political Compass is an interesting website which I've mentioned before. It includes an online questionnaire which you can take to find your own political position.
The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left' , established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher ?
On the standard left-right scale, how do you distinguish leftists like Stalin and Gandhi? It's not sufficient to say that Stalin was simply more left than Gandhi. There are fundamental political differences between them that the old categories on their own can't explain. Similarly, we generally describe social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet that leaves left-wing reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot off the hook.
The political compass introduces a second dimension; as well as 'left/right', they also have 'authoritarian/libertarian'. So each party or individual can be located as a point on a 2-dimensional plane. This makes far more sense.

I hope that an understanding of this model will help to reduce the left/right infighting in the men's movement, which really is counter-productive.

Please visit the site and take the test.

Here's a challenge for you - where on the political compass would you locate the feminist movement?

They hated Custer's arrogance THAT much. Even Custer for that matter was vocally critical of the government's Indian Affairs policies. Being hard on the deserters only got Custer demoted.

The irony is, it is rarely cowards who desert. It takes incredible courage to make that decision.

  And those who'd hunt thee down shall fail
  And you shall be my ain true love
  And you shall be my ain true love
 
  The field is cut and bleeds too red
  The cannon balls fly 'round my head
  Infirmary man may mark me dead
  I've gone to find my ain true love
  I've gone to find my ain true love

  Asleep inside the cannons mouth
  The Captain cries: "Here comes the rout"
  They'll seek to find me north and south
  I've gone to find my ain true love
  I've gone to find my ain true love"

    ---the Deserter's Song by Sting
