IMPORTANT RELEASE FOR ALL MEN: PLEASE READ..



Here we have an explanation of what feminists, in this case radical feminists and the Gillard Government, have in mind for ALL AUSTRALIAN MEN and this is just an example of what is coming your way as well. This legislation is already in Place in Tasmania, AUSTRALIA and it will ensure that Men are jailed, without any opportunity to claim a fair trial, no opportunity to present any counter argument and will be taken to prison on any claim made by any female under any circumstances..

Fifty percent of all men in jail in Tasmania are there because of this draconian piece of legislation. They are served with a court order for one year to not go within 100 meters his own home or see his children and all his accounts, everything he owns will be confiscated and given to the person making the claim. No proof is necessary, no witnesses required, no doctors reports required, no evidence has to be submitted, only on the word of one individual will ensure this action to takes place..

This action will be enforced even when he is not guilty or if the female is the abuser. There is no comeback whatsoever. Even if the claimant retracted her accusation and informs the Police that she has lied, nothing will change..

This release identifies precisely how this new legislation is going to work and this will become LAW in AUSTRALIA within a very short period of time. Possibly over the next month or two if we do NOTHING. Ignore this at your own risk..

New Legislation Designed to Persecute Men and Deny his basic Human Rights.


If you are male and living in Australia, this is the probably the most important email you'll read this year.



This message is about the highly discriminatory National Council’s Plan for Australia to Reduce Domestic Violence Against Women and Their Children, 2009-2021 (henceforth described as 'The Plan').


The Plan is long (200+ pages), so you might like to save it to your desktop and read it little by little, but it's essential that you do read it as it may affect your freedom. If you don't, you may well find yourself in jail one day - minus legal entry to your house, access to your children and any reputation you think you once had, all without doing a single thing wrong. Please share it with every other responsible men you know so they too will learn how their civil liberties are being dangerously undermined under the guise of reducing domestic violence against women.


The most important liberty that will be lost is the presumption of innocence (for men, not women) - one of the foundation stones of a civilised legal system. If the draconian legislation proposed by The Plan is passed through both Houses of Parliament and into Family Law, the legal system in Australia will no longer automatically protect men from false DV and rape accusations and the government will take control of the family. Adoption of The Plan will, essentially, legalise Apartheid and enforce it if necessary at the point of a gun.


Domestic violence and sexual assault are serious crimes, so any wise and just plan to properly identify and reduce them should be applauded. The Plan, however, is neither wise, just nor worthy of applause. It presumes women have no agency when under the influence of drugs or alcohol and that all men are violent offenders by default. Read the document and learn for yourself what could happen to both men and women if The Plan passes into law. Once you've read it, forward it to others with a copy of this message and get active. Write to your MP, raise awareness, talk to the press, raise some placards at your local shopping centre, take your protest to Canberra. Do whatever suits you, but please do something. If you do nothing, prepare to lose your civil liberties via the most draconian legislation since the anti-semitic Nazi Nuremberg Laws of 1935. Yes, it is that serious.


Here's a summary of what will happen if The Plan is endorsed by both Houses of Parliament:


1. The Australian Government will assume that women never lie about domestic violence or sexual assault, even when child custody is at stake and the temptation to lie is extreme.



2. The definitions of Domestic Violence will be broadened to include acts such as striking inanimate objects, making purchases without consulting a female partner, not listening to a female partner or even disciplining a dog. The same actions will not be considered DV if the actor is female (see item 3 below).


3. The legal redefinition of domestic violence will exclude male victims from that legal definition - i.e. men and boys who are assaulted by female relatives will not have legal rights as victims.


4. DV and Sexual assault cases will go to the front ...

Fraud in Australia’s plan to reduce violence against women..

The introduction of the "Violence against Women" programs has been something that feminists have dreamt up in order to introduce anti-male laws around the world. As usual, feminists and their enablers will use falsified information and any other method they can find in order to convince the law makers, if we can refer to them in that fashion, to change existing laws in order to discriminate against man and boy, while at the same time ensuring their own positions, paid for by taxpayers, are protected and guaranteed..
The hypocrisy that feminists have and continue to introduce is demonstrated once again by the author of this article. The researchers, professors and doctors are the radicals who produced the misandric material are the same women who attended the SCUM Manifesto Conference in Perth, Western Australia in 2011. Those same women who were scheming and planning about removing half of the earth's population, blowing up the Men's Sheds and throwing little male toddlers thru windows while they are closed should indicate their inhumane nature..
They are the "NEW" breed of fanatical feminists that control that hegemony and decide future policies and actions. They are also mostly lesbians, which does not come as any surprise considering their vitriol and malice towards all males..
Behind all this and included in their sullied actions and behaviour, we have the Gillard Government who have turned a blind eye to the recommendations these radicals want to introduce into parliament and make law. The Gillard Government demonstrates again what their intentions are for half of the Australian Population. More bigotry, discrimination and bias..

Fraud in Australia’s plan to reduce violence against women

The 2009 Australian project a ‘Time for Action: The National Council’s Plan for Australia to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children, 2009-2021′, was approved for implementation by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). The Plan, which is split into several parts, puts forth recommendations for new legislation, changes to judicial processes, requests for funding and ideas for domestic programs targeted at reducing domestic and sexual violence against women. The advisory council has some powers to implement programs through the Office of Women among other agencies, but much of what the government funded program calls for requires approval by Parliament.
The entire premise of the National Plan was underpinned by the belief in this statement:“While a small proportion of men are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, the majority of people who experience this kind of violence are women in a home, at the hands of men they know.”[27-pg1] But a quick examination of the statistics and data shows a much different picture to the rather sweeping indictment of Australian men the National Council paints.

Indeed, The Plan never addresses the topic of violence that women commit towards men or towards children, nor does it accurately state the facts as they are in Australia.
The Data and Statistics
The National Council’s plan is put forth as a direct response to several academic papers and various activists around Australia, which purport data and statistics that claim to show an epidemic of men’s violence against women. However, the National Council readily admits its data on actual incidences of domestic violence and sexual assault is poor, sporadic and in some cases inaccurate. Nevertheless, the council makes most of their recommendations based on the conclusions of several academic papers and studies, and rarely address any comprehensive analysis of their own. Indeed, The Plan never addresses the topic of violence that women commit towards men or towards children, nor does it accurately state the facts as they are in Australia.

“Data relating to violence against women and their children in Australia is poor. Data on services sought by, and provided to, victims is not readily available, and the way in which information is reported is generally inconsistent and does not allow for a comprehensive understanding of violence against women. Variations in data estimates across Australia are affected by differences in what is captured, counted and reported across States and Territories.
There are also personal and institutional barriers in decision making within and across systems that reduce the extent to which sexual assault and domestic and family violence is disclosed and reported. This affects the capacity of data to accurately reflect the real numbers of women and children who

More Proof That Feminism is a Social Cancer..

Some would have to wonder if Fidelbogen's request for the "roaring" from women request will ever eventuate, call me cynical but I have never seen it nor would I expect it. When women can sit in a television audience and laugh along with the likes of Sharon Osbourne about some lunatic cutting off a man's penis then one has to wonder if there is any level of humanity left in them at all..

Feminists have hit on two of their favourite topics - One, is the prostitution angle, where free women go about selling sex for money as is their majority wish, easy money for minimal effort on their part. Secondly, the radical feminist introduced the "Slutwalk" response because a man told women not to dress like sluts, take some responsibility for your behaviour, the sensible women do anyway. So it is not a problem of it being good advise, the issue was that feminists found another opportunity to malign and generate hate against men. Regardless of the fact that a majority of men do not use prostitutes as a majority are married, not that it makes much difference, ask Bettina Arndt. What amazes me about the entire topic of prostitutes and slutwalks is that it can all to traced back to women and their behaviour being the culprits, but don't mention any of that as it appears to be irrelevant. Waiting for feminists to be honest will never happen..




More Proof That Feminism is a Social Cancer

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="274" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SQGw7FUG95E" width="360"></iframe>

Here we are treated to the famous anti-porn feminist Gail Dines on a talk show. And if you don't savvy what's wrong with this blabbering diarrhea-mouth, who fills the air with lies and won't shut up for even one second, then you are either willfully obtuse or rectal-cranially conjuncted. Do I really need to explain what is EVIL about this? If you cannot instantly comprehend the poignancy of the crisis here, then you are frankly beyond hope and I haven't got the patience to deal with you. So please go away. Now.

Gail Dines is not what's generally called a "radical" feminist. She is not a person of the so-called fringe. She is a mainstream activist, and people like her are painfully common. They yak it up on talk shows, they write glossy books that get reviewed by glossy critics, and they have a large following of uncritical sponges who sop up every word they say. Nobody -- especially not men -- will publicly stand up to these people and administer the verbal bitch-slapping they so desperately need. Pretty much the only ones who will tackle that unpopular job, are the "creepy" men who populate obscure websites.These men call attention to creepy things, and that makes them "creepy".

As feminism goes, Gail Dines is standard fare -- although I grant you she is worse than many. In olden days of rough village justice she'd have gotten the scold's bridle, or the the ducking stool, or the stocks. And quite right. Half the women in the village would have been throwing rotten garbage at her too, back in those days. But nowadays . . . women in critical numbers are eerily silent. And I won't try to explain that, especially considering that men are equally silent.

I realize that Gail Dines is ostensibly "not as bad" as the radfems who hide in private forums and talk about male genocide. No, Gail does not talk about male genocide (although it is an open question whether she entertains the thought), but that only makes her somewhat less poisonous. Two drops of cyanide in a glass of water as opposed to three, let us say. Aye, her demonic hatred of men is painted in blazing colors for all to behold.

I should add, that in my opinion Sharon Osbourne -- who thought it was "quite fabulous" when a man got his penis cut off -- is somewhat less poisonous than Gail Dines. And I would say the same of the female audience on Sharon's TV show, the ones who tittered uproariously about the incident. Overall, they are somewhat less poisonous than Gail Dines, and I don't doubt they would be totally creeped out if they knew about the radfems in the private form. And I'm sure it is a great relief to know that they would feel this way, even while they were tittering uproariously about the man who got his whacker whacked off.

And I am certain that Sharon and most of her female audience would assure us that those feminists in the private radfem forum are only "fringe radicals", that not all feminists are like that, and that certainly not all women are like that.

Verizon is the Monster, DVMisinformation....


Verizon's misinformation in their latest DV promotion demonstrates once again that telling the truth is not part of their overall agenda or strategy but promoting disinformation is..

To blame Fathers solely for DV disregards and ignores the fact that Mothers are the greater child abusers and are also as abusive at domestic violence then her partner.. Verizon totally disregards, ignores this vital information and instead spreads male hate (misandry) instead..
Domestic Violence will never be halted by stopping only one partner from fighting while the other has carte blanche. This sexist attitude and discrimination against Fathers has to stop as it will never solve anything..

It just ensures that feminists and Verizon will be able to continually promote their lies and misinformation at will, while publicly funded by your hard earned tax dollars..

Verizon in the Monster in the Room..

The Verizon Foundation and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Team Up for Some Man-Hating
Harry Crouch
December 1, 2011

“I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.” — Robin Morgan – former president of the National Ourganization for Women (NOW) and editor of MS magazine
Last week we became aware of the Verizon Foundation’s and National Domestic Violence Hotline’s video Monsters.
We mailed and/or emailed 28 leaders of both organizations an open letter strenuously objecting to their outrageous man-hating video.
Before reading the letter we sent both those organizations or more of what is below please watch or re watch the video.
Now that you have seen it or seen it again ask yourself if you can imagine yourself in the room full of people who conjured up this video. How many people do you see? How many meetings were there? Which million dollar conference rooms were used in Verizon and NDVH buildings? How many men and how many women were in the conferences?
Try to imagine all that and the conversations that led to the production of this horrific misandric boy bashing video. I cannot come close to imagining myself in such a room, being surrounded by however many people were there all blinded by some ill conceived and irrational ideology that drives them to the conclusion that only boys grow tall to become abusers.
These people are either ignorant or hateful or both. If ignorant they can be educated, if hate filled ideologues with hidden agendas there is little or no reason to believe reality and truth will have any bearing on their self-serving idiocy.
And, wouldn’t you like to know that one someone, the first person in this group of man-hating sociopathic pariahs that came up with the idea for Monsters?
If challenged that person and her defenders will deny, justify, rationalize, and blame it on a kid, the little girl, if she really exists, whose ugly vision this video purportedly shares. I sure would, I want to know. Then could put on a full court press to get whoever it was fired, if not somehow imprisoned.
You won’t see this video on network television, it’s a weird length ill suited to program scheduling. It will live on the Internet and be proudly shown around the country at domestic violence council meetings; used for training public safety officers, forced on the military for awareness training, and paraded at fundraising events put on by domestic violence shelters, family justice centers, and even struggling university women studies programs. Oh, and yes, it will be introduced into our schools perhaps even as early as first grade.
This video has the potential for spreading harm and hate for decades. It has to be stopped, withdrawn, and destroyed.
Please help. Our letter includes the mailing address, email addresses, and even some phone numbers to those that have the power to stop this pure propaganda mind-warping travesty of a video. Write letters, send emails, and make phone calls to your legislators too; also, your local Verizon company executives and newspapers.
Please feel free to reprint our letter and mail or email it, turn it into handouts, flyers and so forth. Also, please distribute a link to this page to as many people as you can.
Become part of the solution and help us help others protect our children and future generations by ensuring this video is pulled from the Internet, is not distributed, and destroyed.
How is it we allow such hate-mongers to gain such power? I just don’t get it.

Grant County District Attorney Lisa Riniker : Sexist Bigot..



Grant County District Attorney Lisa Riniker : Sexist Bigot..

Solaris..

Last week the parents of a Wisconsin boy sued Grant County District Attorney Lisa Riniker for charging their son with first-degree sexual assault, a Class B felony, after he played "butt doctor" with a 5-year-old girl. He was 6 at the time. When the boy's lawyer tried to have the charge dismissed, Riniker replied: "The legislature could have put an age restriction in the statute if it wanted to. The legislature did no such thing."According to the complaint (PDF), the girl is "the daughter of a well-known political figure in Grant County," and her brother, who is the same age, also was involved in playing doctor but was not charged. In addition to Riniker, the lawsuit names as defendants retired Grant County Sheriff's Sgt. James Kopp and Jan Moravits, an investigator with Grant County Social Services "whose regional supervisor...is the political figure's wife's sister-in-law"—i.e., the aunt of the alleged victim.Although the boy, now 7, is too young to be prosecuted or named in a juvenile delinquency petitition, Madison.com reports, county officials are using the felony charge to force his parents into accepting "protection or services" for him. The lawsuit says that once he turns 18, he will be listed as a sex offender.I noted a similar case in my July Reasonstory on sex offender laws.

Welcome to the real world as feminists and their promoted "legislation" condemns a six year old boy for playing doctor. Something I did myself at that age, kids are naturally inquisitive. But with the current laws in place and it was done, not out of malice, it was just out of the "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" childhood prank and caters to the natural interest that children have.

Now that normal behaviour is regarded as a felony..

Something else you can thank feminists for..

Speaks For Itself

The accompanying is a screen capture from a larger screen capture which one of "our people" (wink, wink!) gathered from a secret, members-only feminist web forum.

What you see here is the quintessential, inner truth about feminism-as-a-whole. Yes, yes. We all know that Not All Feminists Are Like That.

NAFALT!

Unfortunately, the ones who are "not like that" are merely irrelevant. They have little to do with the actual center of power, and they are of scant interest to those who are fighting said power. These earnest ones frankly bore us, and we frankly wish they would shut the hell up and disappear. They are a nuisance and a distraction which obsures feminism's rotten core from the world's gaze. But that is their purpose -- camouflage.

So, what you see in the screen capture is the TRUTH about feminism. Those people are not what insipid folk so politely called the "radical fringe". No, they are the radical core. Without their living presence on planet earth, feminism would simply not exist in a meaningful or viable form. Lacking the ardent nucleus of unbridled animosity toward all things male, it would have long ago spent itself and faded away.

Click on the pic to get a larger (more readable) view.

Please note that the opposite animosity, expressed toward women by men (as it occasionally is) is not the "core" of non-feminism, since non-feminism has no core. It is not even analogous to feminism, being simply the rest of the world, the world beyond feminism. Non-feminism is not an ideology, not a doctrine, not a religion, not a system of thought, not a political party, but only a vast, loose collection of things that vary wildly. As the wise saying goes, the world is full of a number of things.
In parting, here is an inspirational article which promises us that even though "men may be dogs", we still love them.
Well. That's good hearing!Men May Be Dogs but We Love Them Anyway - MSN Relationships - article

Quote from Lady Catherine

In my very Heathen worldview, there is no such thing as "Good vs. Evil" it is rather "Order vs. Chaos." Heathen morality is often considered grey morality, things are never black and white, which is something that I agree with in the case of gender politics, though I will note that I believe that one side is more justified than the other. There are some feminists that I respect, and I certainly think they are fair and honorable people, but for the most part feminists are like, forces of chaos and destruction that do more harm than good. MRAs, on the other hand, are mostly decent people, but there are a couple of bad seeds, which is able to be weeded out by the community at large.

I have been discussing the moral nature of feminism lately, and I am compelled to give a more Heathen outlook about it's nature and to give a more reasonable take on the pros and cons of feminism, which I will then give my conclusions about what kinds of concepts are salvageable and are worthy concepts in my personal ideology. If we take feminism at it's dictionary definition(which I suggest that we refute as Adam does in that superb article), it becomes painfully obvious that there is something wrong with the definition, it certainly doesn't reflect reality and all of the different kinds of feminism.

Feminism is at its very core, a female advocacy movement. That on it's own isn't a bad thing, but it's female advocacy at the expense of men is not a good thing in fact it's a terrible thing. Certainly it's possible to be female positive while being male positive at the same time. When I look at history as I see it and I look at the here and now, I see a reoccurring pattern of oppression towards both men and women, it is ignorant and one-sided to claim otherwise. It does not matter who was/is more oppressed, but it certainly matters that we don't become drunk on ideology.

There are two ideas I appreciate from feminism, one is female empowerment and the other is gender liberation.

Female empowerment to me is the power of choice, and I am not talking about a certain sticky topic, I'm talking about ethical choice and the ability to go beyond stereotypes about women and become something great. Gender liberation on the other hand is the ability to transcend gender stereotypes and become more than what's in between your legs. Both are concepts that we should strive for. Yes, I said we should strive for female empowerment, but I also believe we should strive for male empowerment.

This leads to actual purpose of this article- the MRM or men's rights movement. There are plenty of things to like about the causes they promote as someone who is involved in issues unrelated and yet...related to men's rights. Allow me to explain the general philosophical positions of most MRAs. They lean towards libertarian and conservative political philosophies, oppose tradtionalism, and consist of a multitude of ideologies much like feminism is.

This is natural for any socio-political movement, the group's core ideology is going to be the same(removal of misandry and anti-male discrimination) but there are also peripheral side movements that should be considered, which often have different solutions to the problems facing men.

There are a number of things that I happen to disagree with the MRM on, but I do accept that there is discrimination against men in society, and the need to create a new identity for men of all flavors. That to me is the essence of male empowerment. This is a core idea in the MGTOW(Men Going Their Own Way) branch/submovement of the MRM, which strives to define masculinity on their terms, well... at least how I understand it.

 As Fidelbogen notes in his article which is a response to my article about moral dissonance and morality, he states essentially that all is fair in war, which in the comment section I noted that was in line with Heathen morality: "Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes." - Hávamál, 127

I do not apologize for my line of thinking towards those I consider my enemies, and I don't expect any less from those I consider my foes.

I would love it if there wasn't a gender war and men and women would live in love and frith, but that is not the current reality. The reality is that people of both sexes are at war, and I think my prediction will be accurate.

However, I also note that while I think the issues are greyer than what is portrayed by the MRM and feminism and are multi-faceted, but I do not think feminism addresses these issues in an adequate manner or fair manner. The MRM is finally gaining steam and I do predict that things will become a bit more messy and what is coming is a bit more chaotic than

I generally like this blog even though it has a feminist bias, but I just found this article: here

Dear gods, why does everyone think they have the right to define other people? This has been my struggle for most of my life to define myself as a person. If someone claims they’re a gender queer they’re a fucking gender queer, they define themselves that way. Period. I’m sorry if it looks like “cis” people are appropriating the damn label, but let them question their gender identitiy and come to their own conclusions. Sometimes just sometimes they really might be gender queer, you know?

I’m sorry I’m not gender queer enough for some people cis or otherwise, I’m sorry when it boils down to the damn nitty gritty my gender identity is pretty much “woman-man genderfuck”. If that pisses off people, then fuck them with a huge stick.

I can accept that there is an issue with how we’re treated sometimes and I MEAN sometimes by cis assholes and heterofacists but some of the other genderfucks are just as bad as them.
FUCK THAT NOISE.

I am a powerful person that isn’t upset that some people want to question part of their identity. I am not a victim, I am not oppressed, and I am certainly not crushed by a few people “appropiating” the the damn label, “gender queer”

...is an insulting online magazine dedicated to men.

It's coverage of the MRM has been infuriating to me, I can seriously reduce the arguments and criticisms used against the MRM as, " You all are terrible and that's all you are".

Certainly, better criticisms could be made than that! I could criticize the more misogynistic elements of the movement, which is in reality a minority of the movement, or I could criticize the movement based on some attitudes that some of the people have, which is still a minority. No, I do not take into account the radical extremists that probably DO exist because I feel that extremists at any rate are just piss ants in the grand scheme of things and I thusly ignore them.

What is a problem is when you have unreasonable people who are so stuck on their ideology that they are unable to admit that the side has problems. I might kick and scream for gender liberation and and an understanding of both sides; ideologues are unable to do that, because that challenges their ideology. Which is why I happen to like more MRAs more than I do most feminists, some feminists are reasonable and I enjoy discussing and debating with them and I even have a feminist friend with whom I disagree with much of her position but she is willing to listen to mine.

I do believe that a mutual understanding is possible between the feminist movement and the MRM but what the Good Men Project did, was create a huge battlefield to prove their point, which is a disgusting way to manipulate it's readership.

I might have feminist sympathies but I also have MRA sympathies, but I cannot get over how the GMP handled the "MRA week special," on it's site, there is a point when you have to accept that ALL people are affected by issues, not just females, not just males, not just LGBT people, and not just any other descriptor out there. I accept that the issues affecting me, are not caused by men, but rather by society and culture. You really want to know why shit stinks? Take a look at the last forty years at how society has transformed and you tell me. No, I don't claim to know all the solutions but blaming entire demographics for their own problems does not help the victims of these grievous crimes which does include people of that demographic.

http://musingsofaprohuman.blogspot.c...n-project.html

I have been thinking for a while about how to express my growing ideology about gender politics and my philosophy about gender. We are all blood brothers and sisters. I would like for you to read that a hundred times and repeat it that many more times. This is what we are. We share in each others triumphs, love, hatred, and failures. We are destined to live passionate lives with the other sex, no matter what the emotion felt is. This is fact, whether you like it or not.

There was a period of time when we actually didn't have these silly notions of a battle of the sexes. Both sexes were stuck in roles, however which continues to taint how both sexes interact in an age of fluid gender roles. The current predicament has more and more people avoiding the opposite sex like the plague, which is not good for a healthy society to flourish.

It is seriously the squeeze here people, and I am seriously wondering if anyone else feels this way:

All of our lives we ask ourselves is this really what's meant for us,
take a cold hard look at yourself, it takes heart to face your reality.

Am I the only one who sees the reality? We all want to love and have another person(or people) in our lives and we aren't really programmed to hate one another by default. Personally, I am incapable of hate(I don't even hate my husband's parents for disowning him), and I am incapable of despising people just because of their ideology, I might passionately disagree with it, but I certainly won't hate you for it.

There are those who I feel are unable to acknowledge that others can suffer from problems as much as they can, regrettably this attitude must be corrected, it is not all about your specific demographic, it is about PEOPLE who could have very different experiences than you. Perhaps that man did really experience that and isn't making it up and perhaps that lesbian did suffer that discrimination. It is ok to admit that people don't fit preconceived boxes that people want to put them in. That is the start of bigotry, is trying to force people into boxes, it doesn't work that way.

I would love for a world where men and women can be happy and live harmonious lives with each other and be more than blood brothers and sisters and be human beings rather than a nebulous and ultimately futile label of of man and woman(gender is a much more complicated concept than what parts you're born with). I appreciate how people express themselves, and I enjoy others' cultures(sub-cultures too). I scream about all kinds of double standards that men and women face.

The real problem is that it seems that people are afraid to break stereotypes which leads to all kinds of problems and I will continue to maintain that whether others like it or not. Obviously, I am not going to make friends by calling for others to accept their own responsibility and own up for their problems. I am fine with that. I do not blog to make friends, I blog to tell people how I feel about sexism and other human rights problems. Do I expect others to feel the same way? No. I do not. Everyone is allowed their opinion, and I have the right to make an opinion on others' statements. There were several factors that led to me dropping the ifeminist label and MRA label, for one I feel both labels are in fact loaded labels that can have nasty implications and for another I am a unique snowflake in the blogosphere because I agree with some feminist ideas and I do agree with some MRA ideas and I happen to have all kinds of ideas of my own. Labels are useful and dangerous tools.

Which all this leads back to my original opinion that we are not even close to the harmonious species I think we could and should be, we have the ability to reason for a reason. I do not think every thing is peaches and cream or it ever will be, but I do think that people can alleviate most of the problems affecting both sexes and at least live better and more balanced lives. Until then we are blood brothers and sisters screaming for the other's blood. Does my metaphor anger you? It should. I'm angered form this metaphor and truth. I'm tired of all the blaming, it is not one sex's fault that we all suffer problems. Think about it.

I will leave you with one last thought: To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.-Bertrand Russell, Marriage and Morals (1929) ch. 19
