well, I have to say that this site is really good Thundercloud. I've been reading quite a bit of it in the last day or so. I think it'd be cool if anyone else finds a site like this to post for others. In all my googling I've never come accross this funny and truthful site.

Yeah.
Despite that he is only around 23 years old, or so, he has a lot of wisdom.
He learned things about (too many) American women and feminists that took me untill my late 30's to figure out. Alot of it was because I didn't want to believe that American women thought the way so many do, and because I didn't want to accept that feminism was NOT really about equality, at all.
I still say he's a bit harsh, at times, but he hits the proverbial nail on the head in MANY instances.
Like I said, he's wise beyond his young years. Let's hope many men are waking up to the way things are in this country (and others) like this young man is doing.
Oh, and by the way. He already has a link to Mensactivism.org in his links section.
He IS on the ball!

He is one of my brother authors on the Man Power Men going Their Own Way blog at http://manpower.blogdrive.com/. He is young, he does have a short fuse, I hope I get to actually meet him and shake his hand. He will be one of the names remembered in this struggle. His technical prowess has been invaluable to the knights of the inner keep at Cool Tools For Men. Watch him...I expect great things from him. Granted he does let his anger flow freely from his typing fingers...so do I.

I discovered the site a while back—never thought to mention it though.
One thing I liked about the site is that it makes no bones about holding the feet of Western women to the fire as well as feminists.
For over 40 years American men have been criticized, told to change, blamed, shamed, and often emasculated. True, back in the 50s we did have some work to do on our attitudes, but then so did women. However, in the intervening four decades only men were supposed to be transformed, our positives as well as our negatives demonized. Women got a free pass. (Anything new about that?) They were deified, treated as queens who could do no wrong, and the world revolved around them. Is it any wonder that this produced the bitchy, self-absorbed princesses that we see today?
What the site does is inform men of the sense of entitlement that the plain, average, non-feminist women nearly always seem to possess. And it's a long time coming. We complain about the feminists, but if your average everyday woman didn't revel in all the power and goodies that feminism has produced for them, we would not be the position we're in today.
The way I see it, feminism is like the gun manufacturer, producing the weapon; the chivalrous courts and politicians are like the gun dealers, putting the guns on the street; but your everyday woman is the mugger who uses the gun in face-to-face confrontations, blowing you away with visitation interference, false DV and rape accusations, grrrl power, and all the other weapons put at her disposal.

That site is great! And the guy lives in Japan! (I do too, but I'm not him.)
I've always liked how women in Japan are capable of self-criticism in a way that western women, in general, choose not to be. Women here can be as selfish as anyone, but they don't have the sense of entitlement because they're women that women in the west often have.
On the other hand, while I feel confident that the US and Europe will undergo changes in the coming years to make men's lives more fulfilling and equal, I fear that Japan is in for a few decades of hard-core feminism before true equality comes about.

I'd often considered moving to Japan, myself.
But I'm an Indian and can't stand to leave my home land behind.
Not only that but I finaly figured that I'm alot happier with OUT a girlfriend or wife, in my life, (hey! that rhymes!) So I never did make the trip to Japan.
Besides, I have enough aggravation...,

Thundercloud. writes "I was just roaming around the 'net and came across a "new" website. It is called "NICEGUY'S WOMEN/AMERISKANKS (MOSTLY) SUCK PAGE"
The webmaster is called "NiceGuy". Although I find him a bit too harsh and critical of American women, at times, and he is obviously very angry (often with good cause) he makes alot of valid points about 'Male-bashing', the media, socialized American women and especialy feminists and the workings of feminism.
If you can get passed his anger and mild gynophobia, it is a very interesting site and an interesting read. Judge for yourself.
Here's the link:
