Australia: 'White Ribbon Day in forum's sight'

Article here. Excerpt:

'THERE is an angry core of Australian men who use cyberspace as the latest forum to unload on how women have done them wrong

A few weeks ago we ran a column on The Punch website, examining their emergence. The piece documented how even those columns with the most innocent subject matter, such as breast cancer, maternity leave, child care or body image become a vehicle whereby crotchety men can bemoan the apparent neglect of men's health issues, the economic pressures faced by single dads and the raw deal they get from the courts.

The article had the unsurprising effect of attracting, well, an angry core of Australian men who use cyberspace as a forum to unload on how women have done them wrong.

There was a depressingly pertinent example of this mindset this week and it's worth pinging the perpetrators over it, as it demonstrated all the nonsensical self-pity of the men-are-victims-too brigade.
...

Parents are reporting their concerns when their sons come home wearing the WR wristband and then begin asking questions, which suggest the boys fear their future will be one of violence, the Men's Rights Agency said this week.

The MRA says there is no excuse for the intrusion of the White Ribbon message into our schools, particularly with their brand of over-exaggeration of male violence and denial of violence by females.

Setting aside the fact that there's no such thing as an over-exaggeration, it would be nice if the Men's Rights people could line up this army of angry families who are appalled by this innocent educational gesture and, while they're at it, maybe they can also wheel out those long-suffering men for whom home is a place of terror.'

We will be under greater attacks by fems and their lackeys as our message goes viral. The anti-MRA articles will increasingly have comment sections that ask for full names as well as e-mail addresses--knowing many of us can be destroyed professionally by that revelation. Therefore, it behooves us to each have at least one spare mailbox registered under a pseudonym, specifically for answering these clowns.

I would not care if someone said they would tell "everyone" they knew I was an MRA. I usually do that for them.

I am not going to publish my name and address on any forum since doing so is just plain dumb in the age of the Internet. But if some Ms. Feminazi or really anyone else wants to know my name (they already have that: Matt Campbell, in case you had any doubt), address, etc. they are welcome to find out. After all, it behooves one to know at least a little about the person who along with his colleagues in cause, are going to pull the rug out from under you. They at least need to get your name right as they curse you out to an empty room from behind a bottle at 3 AM at a kitchen table somewhere in a cold apartment.

Way I see it, men like John Adams and George Washington got no place by worrying about whether the British knew his name and address. In fact, I am sure he counted on it. If an MRA needs an example to look to, I say, look to the Founding Fathers. They are all the example you need: Lives, fortunes, sacred honor. We don't quit 'til they do.

She certainly has that wrong. Men are historically and to this day, far greater victims than women due to all the ways men are disposable and all the ways women have been protected and pampered. Men are abused by many conditions in life and then abused even more by lying, misandrist denials from people who always want to put women first. Such misandry is sickening.

    Meanwhile, many Men’s Rights Activists, genuinely passionate about the cause, work under assumed names because of the very real danger of personal and professional retaliation if they are “discovered.”

    Vee know vaht you haff been dooink.

    It’s a sad testament to the reality that the thought police are not just imagined characters in some novelists dystopian fantasies. Men who mix the truth with their identities can be hurt by it, and have been.
    --Paul Elam

Unfortunately, many [most?] MRAs can't afford to be revealed in this femocracy--it could mean your job, or worse--but that doesn't have to prevent activism.

David Penberthy is the former editor of a tabloid which dropped him after just a couple of years,thats how much of a real journalist this joke of a man is -he was too tabloid for the tabloids. He was also successfully sued for referring to a Muslim cricketer as a member of Al Qaeda, and above all, Penberthy was a huge part of the media lynching that drove a male politician to attempt suicide over minor sex harassment claims!

As for the White Ribbon thing, it is an act of hatred against men. Think about it, we are asked to promise that we won't abuse women even though most of us never would anyway. Thats like asking Muslims to wear a ribbon promising that they will not blow the rest of us up, even though most of them wouldn't be capable of doing that to begin with, but of course men are seen as a legitimate target for prejudice, and Muslims are not.

There's a silver lining to everything...this is the third or fourth indication that I've seen within the last couple weeks or so, that women everywhere are starting to get worried about the 'frightening effectiveness' of men's and fathers' groups. The more scared they get, the more they will publicly fight us - which brings much needed publicity to our cause.

axolotl - I think you're absolutely correct.
