Usual Patronising Femi-Journalism (Score:2) by AngryMan (end_misandryNOSPAM@yahoo.co.uk) on 07:11 AM December 24th, 2004 EST (#1) Those who target a female audience seem to think that the way to get women's attention is to patronise and belittle men. There seems to be some evidence that most women do not like or enjoy this kind of anti-male journalism, so I wonder whose interests are really being served by it. The answer is - feminism's. Feminists deliberately penetrate the media, academia, government and other institutions, and use them to spread the feminist message. In this way they manufacture a cultural and political climate in which misandry is regarded as respectable. The practice then becomes self-perpetuating. Talking about your target (men in this case) as though they are children is a standard tool in the female manipulation toolbox. It is about patronising, belittling and sidelining. It destroys reputations, it destroys self-esteem, and manufactures social exclusion. All this stuff we hear about how males are competitive but females just like to include everybody is lies. There is good reason to think that females inhabit the social domain more than males do - success for females means success in a network of social relationships. Females usually express their ambition socially. Part of the basic female approach to life is to manufacture social division and social exclusion, while making themselves out to be saints. It is done using the tongue. Or the pen in this case. In the 1960s a feminist slogan was 'No more competition, women helping women'. Feminists basically created a kind of chauvinistic Women's National Front, and one of its ideological principles was 'stop fomenting division between women, and turn on men instead'. They subsequently came to believe their own rhetoric, and that's where we get all this crap about men being competitive and women being inclusive. Anyone who has a female partner knows just how 'inclusive' they really are. How often does she say to you things like 'Look at that. What the hell does she think she's wearing? Tell me my ass isn't that big. What a tramp' or whatever. If women were in charge of the world, it would be a paradise on earth. Yeah, right. Feminism will continue as long as there is money to be made from hating men.
