'WE used to be known as Australian citizens. But now, in the age of identity politics, we have our own special category: the white male. This is the new trend at the ABC and Fairfax Media — to judge people, not by the quality of their character or their contribution to society, but by the colour of their skin and the shape of their genitals.
Unsurprisingly, in this world of reverse racism, white men are being blamed for the whole shebang.
According to the Left’s propaganda, we are good for nothing and responsible for everything.
We made the Islamic terrorists take up arms and slaughter innocent people (even though the radical preachers promoting the caliphate are Arabic and African Muslims).

Article here. Excerpt:
'Rebel Media commentator Lauren Southern uploaded a video she was anonymously sent showing an insane Social Justice Warrior (redundant) laying into her driver for having a classic dashboard hoola girl displayed in his car.
The "vocal-fried" SJW in question is a woman named Annaliese Nielsen, the founder of "Girls Night In," a secretive and selective women's community which she described to ABC News as an exclusive online sorority. Apparently these women enjoy going out, having a few cocktails, and then hunting for males who will undoubtedly offend them in some SJW rage-inducing way.

Article here. Excerpt:
'In the course of a year, Sherry Warner-Seefeld went from high school teacher to activist promoting fairness for students accused of sexual misconduct. Explaining why, for her, means revisiting a night of shock and a phone call she will never forget.
She was grading social science papers on a cold, late January evening in Fargo, N.D., when her cellphone rang, she told The Washington Post.
It was her son, Caleb Warner, calling to tell her he had heard from a dean at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. A woman with whom he had had a short sexual relationship, the dean told him, had accused him of sexual misconduct, of nonconsensual sex, that she alleged had occurred on the night of Dec. 13, 2009.

Article here. Excerpt:
'Over the past several years a popular, often media-driven narrative has developed at universities and colleges across the nation — that of the campus “rape” culture. Various university campuses aiming to clean up and rid the school of this “rape” culture have developed procedures establishing university tribunals designed to police and deal with misconduct. But many of these tribunals seem to harbor an “anti-male” bias. Over the years, numerous male students found guilty by these tribunals were disciplined by the university even though no criminal charges were ever brought or even pursued.
The Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against a lower court that had dismissed a student’s claim that Columbia University had violated federal anti-discrimination laws when the school found him responsible for sexual assault. The suit brought by the student was based on the Title IX federal statute, which bans sex discrimination in education. The student’s claim was that Columbia University had engaged in an anti-male bias when it had found him responsible for sexual assault.'

Unintentionally funny article here. And all this time, I thought it was because most people like to get a good buzz on. Excerpt:
'Instead, I round up some girlfriends and we spend hundreds of dollars in a hipster bar, drinking rye Manhattans and eating tapas and talking about the latest crappy, non-gender-blind things that have happened to us in meetings and on business trips and at performance review time. They toast me for taking one for the team. And when we are good and numb we Uber home, thinking Look at all we’ve earned! That bar with the twinkly lights. That miniature food. This chauffeured black car. We are tough enough to put up with being ignored and interrupted and underestimated every day and laugh it off together. We’ve made it. This is the good life. Nothing needs to change.
Do you remember the Enjoli perfume commercial from the 1970s? The chick who could bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never let you forget you’re a man?

Article here. It all just gets weirder and weirder. Excerpt:
'As secretary of state, women’s-rights champ Hillary Clinton not only spoke at a Saudi girls school run by her top aide Huma Abedin’s anti-feminist mother, but Clinton invited the elder Abedin to participate in a State Department event for “leading thinkers” on women’s issues.
This happened despite evidence at the time that Saleha M. Abedin had explored the religious merits of sexual submissiveness, child marriage, lashings and stonings for adulterous women, and even the circumcision of girls.
The elder Abedin, whose daughter helps run Clinton’s presidential campaign, did take a pro-gender-equality stance on at least one issue: Muslim women’s right to participate in violent jihad alongside men.
...
Saleha is paid by the Saudi government to advocate and spread Sharia in non-Muslim countries like America.

Article here. Personally, I always have "Oppress women and minorities" on my MANgenda every morning. Excerpt:
'My to-do list usually includes some combination of meetings, interviews, deadlines, events, household chores, drinks with friends and, like all women, the next phase in my mission to eliminate men. That last task is apparently called “manocide,” and women’s pursuit of it? Well, that’s our “vagenda.”
If you’ve seen these words floating around the internet, it’s because a right wing gun shop used them to warn the world about the true intentions of “Hildabeast,” who most of us refer to as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

'Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) are a vocal bunch. They’ve got websites and social media accounts and YouTube channels, all dedicated to what they misname as activism for men’s rights.
But when their activism is only discussing men’s rights and masculinity in reference to feminism or violence against women, it’s not acting for men, it’s acting against women.
And men are in desperate need of help, so why are they being let down by the advocates who are supposed to be acting on their behalf?

Article here. Excerpt:
'Today’s GCSE results revealed that boys still lag behind girls dramatically in many subjects – with girls having an 8% lead on boys in getting A*-C grades.
This is nothing new – girls have been steamrolling the boys years at GCSE, A-Level and in university admission.
Even in “male” subjects that few girls take, like computing, they have 2 per cent lead.
It’s clear – British girls are achieving while British boys, mostly are not – and nothing is being done to help them catch up.
The Government tried minimising coursework, which they felt gave girls an edge, but the gap increased further.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'Colleges are supposed to be places of learning. However, many argue they've become liberal indoctrination centers, dedicated to churning out legions of progressive zombies who can parrot the Democratic Party's platform verbatim -- yet can't actually do anything useful to support themselves, or society.
Liberals, unsurprisingly, deny this.
However, there appears to be a movement afoot on college campuses that should alarm liberals, conservatives, and libertarians alike.
By now, most readers of this site are bound to be familiar with the persecution of men suspected of sexual assault on campuses throughout the nation. And yes, using "persecution" rather than "prosecution" is intentional. Prosecution implies they will be put through the unalienable rights-based American legal system. That isn't true anymore.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'Men often take on, and even embrace, the role of primary breadwinner for their families—but a new study suggests that too much pressure to bring home the bacon is bad for their physical and mental health. For women, the study found the opposite: The more economic contributions they made to their families, the better their psychological well-being.
The results, to be presented at the American Sociological Association's annual meeting, suggest that some men see breadwinning as a stressful obligation, while many women may approach it as an opportunity or a choice.

'It's easy to get the impression, as the U.S. celebrates the 45th annual Women's Equality Day on Friday, that the march toward equality has slowed to a crawl. Allow me to disagree.
True, the usual statistics tell a story of stalled progress. Women's labor force participation stands at less than 57 percent, down from a peak of 60 percent in the late 1990s. The rapid improvements in the gender wage gap that occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s show little sign of returning. And mothers — particularly the large number who are single — still shoulder most of the burden of child-rearing.
A deeper look, however, suggests more fundamental change in women's experiences as equals at home and in the workplace.

'Friday marks Women's Equality Day to commemorate the 19th amendment, and one Highlands coffee shop is celebrating by offering women discounted drinks.
Day's Espresso and Coffee, 1420 Bardstown Road, is offering women every item on the menu for just 78 cents on the dollar all day Friday, according to a public post on its Facebook page. The amount is representative of the full-time wage gap for women compared to men.
The business initially posted the promotion on Aug. 14 before sharing it again on Friday. It had been shared more than 700 times, as of Friday afternoon.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'No one suggests men and women shouldn't have equal rights. So by the textbook definition, we should all be feminists.
Why then, do so many women — especially young women — refuse the label?
Feminism has gotten a reputation in the past few decades of being less about equal rights and more about crushing men in order to raise women up. A new report from the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think-tank and my former employer) suggests modern feminism (and some of second-wave feminism from the 1960s) no longer views the movement as being about erasing inequalities in opportunity, but about enforced parity.
