Hate Reaches New Depths at UNH

At the University of New Hampshire (my alma mater), radical feminism has reached new depths of public contempt for men. It appears that last year's Take Back the Night rally was only a hint of things to come. Whitney Williams, a Feminist Action League member at UNH, has been taking her radical anti-rape message that blames men and fraternities for violence against women to the school newspaper, where she writes a column. Recently she claims to have received a death threat and has rallied more supporters to her cause, who attended a protest rally on Tuesday. On Friday, Williams printed her most extreme diatriabe yet against men, which clearly exposes her intentions. It is, in my opinion, the worst time ever to be a male at UNH. And it continues to baffle me why these young men sit in silence.Quote:



I do not write for men. I do not write for the men who whine about feeling stereotyped, generalized, discriminated against, sad, upset, sorry, or guilty. I do not write for you. I do not do this work for you, I do not believe you and I do not live for you. I do not care
that you think I am wrong, stupid, angry, narrow-minded, uneducated, or any four letter words. I do not owe you an apology, an explanation, a written response, or acknowledgment. Women do not owe you anything. You do not deserve to be praised for taking women's studies classes. You do not deserve gratitude for abstaining from raping women. You do not "deserve" anything; but you keep taking as if you do, you keep raping as if you do, you keep talking arrogantly, astonished by my audacity, as if you deserve getting away with it all.



I do not care if you think you have never raped or hurt a woman. I do not care if you think you are not complicit in women's oppression. That is the point. You are not even aware of what you do. You do not even know what rape is. You do it all the time and call women "sluts" for "being too drunk to decide." You do not know what oppression is. Guess why: you don't have to!



Men: you have a responsibility. You must stop raping women. You must stop beating us and coercing us and objectifying us. You must stop oppressing us in the workplace, at home, on the streets. You must tell other men to stop. You must do something. You must apologize. And then apologize some more, and then some more. You must not tell us that "I don't rape" and turn your back. You must stop using pornography and demeaning language. You must stop raping. You must stop raping and beating women, minorities, GLBTQ people, children.



You must stop.



You will be held accountable without apology.
