Mens Rights Advocates
Posted by CaptDMO on August 5th, 2006
So I was reading Time Magazine today. In the Milestones section there was an honorarium for Carl Brashear. He was the diver dude from the movie Men Of Honor.
After Men of Honor premiered, Brashear was deluged with letters from amputees. He answered every one, sharing his message of relentless optimism. “It’s not a sin to be knocked down,” he liked to say. “It’s a sin to stay down.”
Later today, along with an order of bajillion empty boxes, a book arrived.
Men’s Rights Activists by some guy named Volmar(Lulu charges $10 for shipping the softcover book). I cracked it open to about the middle and the first thing I see is
What to do? Since we are being assaulted and hounded as a group, as a group we must take back what was lost, and having lost it once, ensure that it can never be taken away again
It’s an omen I say.
As of today I can no longer afford tolerance to male feminist appologists that I once endured. This goes double for assumed entitlement addicts , and those with despicable designs on kindred spirits.
As of today, I formally adopt the words of Sam Adams.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may prosterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
There are those that help us to NOT forget history, and therefore repeat it. Nothing new about the co-opting of political traction by once the heavy lifting has been done by
useful idiots.. Steven Yates gives it a shot.
A useful idiot is someone who, while zealously promoting one cause, ends up advancing a very different one through stupidity, naivete or inattention. The useful idiot never sees the big picture. Vladimir Lenin, the first Soviet dictator, is credited with coining the phrase, although according to P. Boller and J. George’s They Never Said It, he—well—most likely never said it. Not even in Russian. Whatever its origins, the phrase sometimes comes in handy.

(Hoff)Sommers distinguished between “liberal” feminism and “gender” (radical) feminism. The first promoted, e.g., equal pay for equal work, and opposed discrimination. The latter is a full-fledged worldview that subjects every institution of society to scrutiny through the lens of gender. Sommers had no quarrel with the former; she had plenty of quarrels with the latter. Its influence, which puts science under the gender microscope along with everything else.
Like social programs like Social Security for all? Medicare for all? WIC?
Guess what,
VAWA (HOW much?), oppressive “family” court assumptions, bogus “harassment” lawsuits have
to go, as does tiresome gynocentric/ diversity “education” in tax funded institutions.
Ptooi.
