Columnist Declares It Serves Boys Right to be Abused by Education System
posted by Matt on 01:12 PM June 26th, 2006
The Media I am going to give a heads-up for you all before reading this column in the Waco Tribune. The columnist, one Rowland Nethaway, is stating categorically and in all seriousness that it's just fine, if not also perfectly fair, for boys to be left behind in education, drugged to keep them "calm", etc. He also repeats a few feminist myths such as the "Rule of Thumb" myth which has been debunked repeatedly. Be forewarned, some of you may find this article so infuriating you will want to do violence to the computer monitor in front of you.

Well now that I have prepped you for it, I want to encourage everyone to write him at RNethaway-at-wacotrib.com, discussing your opinion of his essay.

Yeah, and those stinkin' Jews and lousy Injuns got what they deserved, too. (Sarcasm, of course)

It would be easy to just dismiss this guy, but he is just one of a multitude of wussie-poopie, self loathing men that litter this country. Wussie-poopie males are nearly, if not as, dangerous as feminists because of the fact they are male, it gives the anti-male movement "legitimacy".
Before we can really do much about the feminists we MUST, MUST deal with the Wussie-poopies.

You are a very sick individual.
You assume that punishing innocent young boys for the “wrongs” of previous generations is legitimate.
All the while feminized societies crumble around you, providing youth nowhere near the security former generations have enjoyed.

What you have done is itemized the injustices tilted against the innocent boys in the world.
You’ve provided a perfect syllabus for upcoming Men’s Studies courses for high schools and universities throughout westernized nations.

With this type of attitude we can all be assured that you are raising your hated son’s to be daughters.

Agreed.
I have always been led to believe that is is the DUTY of we adults to protect the children. Not wage a war against them.
This is exactly what has happened to boys. There is a war on against INNOCENT CHILDREN!
God, what have we become as a nation?

The downtrodden are getting their revenge.

Did I miss something? Are men finally rising up against the society that hates them and sends them off to die at risky jobs and in war zones, so mom and the kids can fuck the dog all day in style while moaning and bitching about how (giggle) downtrodden they are? I thought not.

At least he had the common sense to call feminism what it is: a hate movement that seeks revenge for non-existent wrongs. You'd think that feminists and their horny collaborators would have such things programmed into their grammar checkers. Of course, the fact that women were never "downtrodden" to begin with never crosses his empty head, but that's to be expected. The woman he's been begging for sex on a daily basis since their first women's studies class said it, so it must be so.

I just love females who try to tell me that they are feminists, but they're "not like that". They inevitably have a convenient definition on hand that says something about seeking to improve the lives of women. I invariably ask (as a way of terminating a soon-to-be pointless discussion) why it is that they're only interested in the welfare of half of humanity. Sounds pretty hateful to me, girls. Go sell it at a NOW meeting. The rest of us worry about ALL people, not just our own little group of fellow victim-wannabes.

As for this incoherent twit with the column in the Podunk Daily, he's trying to sell adspace for tampons and SUVs and other "vanity" products, and is clearly pandering to the basest instincts and the hate of his female readers (all two of them) in an attempt to stroke their vanity and buying preferences, all so his publisher can run around to potential customers going "see! see!". I assume that the "paper" he contributes to is a "shopper" of some kind, and that clipping out the coupon for $2 off the dog shampoo on the back would render his drivel illegible.

I can only hope he's one of the millions of non-existent male victims of DV thanks to the "empowered" man-beating women in his life, and that his sons are drugged senseless on their way to a working world which does not allow men to compete fairly for employment.

Transgendered—used to be a biological female and had a sex change; however, the mind remains female.

Attention Whore—has failed miserably at producing creative work so has resorted to drawing attention upon himself by being absurd.

Moran—doesn’t know his ass from a whole in the ground and probably never will.

Brain Washed—got his degree from a feminized university.

P-Whipped—is willing to sell-out his man-hood to get laid.

Wimp—got picked on by other boys as a child and now he’s getting even.

Others?

I am astonished that the editor of the Waco Tribune allowed this column to be published.

In most companies, an employee stating such vile, bigoted hate speech would be immediately terminated, not given a by-line.

Merely substitute for the noun "boys" any ethnic or gender minority or protected class of your choice --- blacks, Hispanics, gays, women, seniors, differently-abled, jews, muslims, etc.

Can you imagine such bile being published if it was tare=geted at any category of human beings other than boys/men?

The best that can be said of this editorial writer is that he is desperately in need of clinical mental health treatment, and an immediate severance check.

If you want to e-mail his superiors at the WACKO TRIBUNE to suggest an intervention, they are --

So, this guy thinks that boys deserve to be punished for the 'wrongs' of previous generations. But hang on a minute, isn't this guy a member of one of those previous generations? In that case, why are we punishing boys while letting dopes like him have their nice, cosy jobs in the media? Shouldn't we be kicking his arse for all the 'wrongs' he did?

I only hope it make him feel like a real man to beat up on children. I suppose that's the only way left for a pro-feminist man to feel like he has any balls.Although, having said that, it strikes me that what this man really needs is rescuing. Like a lot of men of a certain age, he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of what can best be described as psychological warfare, in which no tactic or accusation was considered too dirty. And, also like a lot of men, the only way he found to resolve the state of crisis this put him in was to give in to it completely. Attacking him will only make him dig his heels further into his Gotterdammerung mentality. The men's movement needs to give men like him a way out, and attack the real enemy; the source of all this poisonous crap: feminism.

"Atonement"; that is now what women want - i.e. 'compensation' (see the dictionary). I saw that word (atonement) used by a woman writer, of an article that this forum had a link to a couple weeks ago. The article was considered favorable to mens rights, but it still concerned me that the author used that word; that is, she used it as if it is justified, that we men must 'make ammends' to women for past perceived injustices.
I think another way to put it is SANCTIONED REVENGE.

Men owe women exactly nothing. There is no net debt from men to women. Women do exactly nothing for men that men couldn't do just as well - or better - for themselves. Conversely, women owe men everything. Without male effort and ingenuity they'd still be wandering around a forest somewhere picking berries. Not only did men do so many wonderful things, they also managed to support themselves and a woman and her children at the same time (how's that for multi-tasking!). As I've said before, the difference between men and women can be summed up like this: Superman is somebody who saves the world every day of his life, while Superwoman is someone who holds down a regular job.

'Semi autistic'? It's become fashionable to try to find fault with men of achievement by labelling them with words from that most disreputable area of medical science: psychiatry. I suppose we're all supposed to marvel at those non-autistic wonders who, despite the full gamut of human engagement, seem incapable of finding a mate or even being especially likeable. Women used to be termed 'overemotional', but now that they're supposed to be the new norm, men must be seen as 'underemotional'. But even in those areas where autism isn't a benefit, men have still achieved greatly, as well as supporting women and children. Autistic? Crap! They just don't rely on their primitive lizard brains for everything.
