Forgive my ignorance here, but how did we get from 'Re: Marc Rudov's $4 a gallon gas article' in the topic, to discussing your ex-wife, daughter, nephew and such like in the body text?

I'm not trying to be pedandic - i'm seriously stumped!

Read the posting on Mensnewsdaily.com. Marc articulates the reality that too many Men are doing nothing to fight for our Rights. And that we are hiding from our positions. I have embraced what he has asked. To come out and let people know who I am. Since the liar and fraud who wrote the scurrilous lies about me, and my Daughter. Has published those and had it communicated to third parties. She is financially liable for damages to me.

So is Amanda Marcotte who allowed the same lies to be published on her web site. This is how the Moral Cowards in the Women's movement operates. So be it, I love a brawl.

Ahhh!

OK, well - You'll have to excuse my ignorance, it was some early hour and I was ready to drop.

Here's the Rudov piece:


HOW $4 GAS CAN HELP MEN
by Marc H. Rudov

The Death of Manhood

According to the CDC, heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death in men. These maladies pale in comparison to the leading causes of the death of manhood: denial and inertia. Because so many men have their heads in the sand and refuse to fight for their waning civil rights, feminism continues its nonstop, high-octane, uncontested control of American laws and culture.

Ignoring inevitable reality never produces a happy ending. American politicians, who disallowed drilling off the coasts of California and Florida for three decades, are now running amok like decapitated chickens, balking at spiraling gasoline prices, desperately searching for alternative energy sources, and hypocritically exhorting new lifestyles.

Their panic began instantaneously about three months ago, when the price of gasoline first hit $4 per gallon in California — ostensibly the magic tipping point, the pain threshold. Now, the national average price exceeds $4, causing lifestyle hardships to 90% of Americans.

Was this fuel crisis predictable and predicted many years ago? Absolutely. Did anybody take it seriously? Absolutely not. But, what does one expect from inert people who eat a steady diet of denial?

TV’s talking heads and business columnists, on any given day, alternately and collectively blame OPEC, commodities speculators, oil companies, state and federal governments, environmentalists, and drivers of SUVs for this situation. Is there a practical solution in sight — such as offshore drilling, inland drilling, solar, wind, nuclear power, flex-fuels, or electric cars — in any reasonable timeframe? No. Fact is, we’re all screwed for the foreseeable future.

Unacceptable Copout

Every week, I receive hundreds of e-mails from men who have been hosed in divorce court, falsely accused of domestic violence and rape, and unable to see their children because of paternal alienation. They don’t know what to do, but they also have a history of complaining without acting.

Feminists are engaged in an endless campaign to worsen men’s lives. This situation is severe and crisis-bound. But, as long as men ignore it, mutter under their breaths, complain under aliases on blogs, and drink beer while watching SportsCenter, they have no right to squawk. Their unacceptable copout will lead to a day, akin to the current era of $4 gas, when the increasingly oppressive system of American gynojustice will be unstoppable and unfixable. It’s as certain now as $4 gas was when Thomas Friedman told us three years ago, in The World Is Flat, that China and India would be dictating fuel prices.

What does $4 gas have to do with men’s rights? Nothing and everything. If you think this article is about gasoline, go back to your beer and your fantasy football. The point is simple: Men must act today to defeat the future total domination of feminists. No more excuses.

Irreversible Consequences

One good example of how to fight back — using pragmatic, effective tactics — is the lawsuit filed by the Vienna, WV-based group called Men and Women Against Discrimination (MAWAD), which seeks to stop West Virginia’s unconstitutional and discriminatory (pro-female) funding of domestic-violence programs and shelters. In another effort, MAWAD is working to eliminate the anti-father West Virginia Family Court culture.

If men would copy MAWAD’s approach, at both state and federal levels around the country, they can dismantle the lopsided gynocracy — without resorting to counterproductive stunts like illegally scaling the Lincoln Memorial.

Remaining inert and living in denial, however, will lead eventually to crisis, the blame game, and irreversible consequences. To wit: VAWA (the unconstitutional but increasingly oppressive Violence Against Women Act) is already 14 years old, has ruined thousands of men’s lives, and knows no bounds. Moreover, as the national average percentage of out-of-wedlock babies approaches 50%, child-support fees, like the price of gasoline, will continue to escalate. Why not?

The NoNonsense Bottom Line

This, the third article in a trilogy — along with “Men’s Silence Is Women’s Gold” and “Obama’s Baby Mamas” — is designed to:

1 - Remind men that they live in a gynocracy
2 - Admonish them to remove their heads from the sand
3 - Warn them that their window of opportunity to prevent the death of manhood is almost closed
4 - Stir them to take action — ASAP.

Despite its economic cost, the emergence of $4 gas can help men by exhibiting what happens when people foresee future perils but do nothing to prevent them. The question is, Will $4 gas help men? Doubtful. Men have sat back for years while elected gynocrats abridged their reproductive and civil rights. The current energy crisis presents an opportunity to learn something. Think of $4 gas as a two-by-four between the eyes, a crystal ball for the final destruction of men’s rights.

Every man has two options going forward:

1 - Work with and fund groups like MAWAD and the National Coalition of Free Men to force pro-female politicians to create a gender-neutral government

2 - Awake every day — out of gas and out of luck — with his manhood marginalized.

Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, I’m betting that men, unfortunately, will just pay the $4 for gas, the $5 for beer, and keep muttering under their breaths while saluting the gynocratic flag.

$4 a gallon.

By heck, who's a lucky boy then. I have been paying over $5 for the past 6 months and I understand that the people in the UK have been paying even more than I have.

Quote from khankrumthebulgar

One of the Regiments of US Paratroopers reactivated during the War with Iraq was the Curahees. And Indian word for "He Who Stands Alone". A brave who would plant himself and fight his way out of a confrontation or die defending his honor. This Famed Regiment fought at Bastogne with the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles.

Marc has requested that those of us who use web names to remain anonymous come out from behind those names...

Sorry, but I don't see the connection between the Curahees and telling the whole world whom I am on the web? It's fine and dandy for Marc Rudov to use his real name. He's making a lot of money from his work fighting misandry. The rest of us have to work regular jobs. Getting fired or not getting hired because we please Marc Rudov by putting our names, etc. on the internet is not going to do anything to advance the MRA cause. It is very common for employers to do an internet search on prospective employees before hiring them.

One can fight effectively while remaining anonymous.

Yeah, I don't see the need either. Rudov should be lobbying celebrities to speak up (MacCartney, Alec Baldwin etc)

Precisely!

Alec Baldwin is writing a book about how Fathers and Men are abused in the Family Courts. This is significant in that he has solid Liberal Credentials in the US. And is possibly deciding to pursue a Political Career. Baldwin's youngest brother has a business connection with an Association I am involved with. And is involved in his Christian Ministry. Stephen Baldwin is a solid and decent Man committed to his faith. Who I have very high regard for. As he is a Man of principle.

Marc is making a living. And has little major influence yet outside of our movement. It seem unless you state the right things within the Men's movement you are regarded as a "Lightweight" or sell out. This is why the Geocities site Spinbusters refers to the Men's movement as a constipated Movement. We spend too much time fighting each other and not the FemBots.

I have worked within the media business. And know just how tough it is to stay on the air. Marc must entertain and not alienate Women, who are the source that Fox News's advertisers are paying to reach. With all due respect Brother. Have you worked within the Advertising or media Industry? If not or you don't have "Skin in the Game" meaning your money at risk. I suggest you stop spouting off Bull Shit.

AKUS you can email me privately at khankrumthebulgar@myway.com and we can communicate. Marc's Radio show failed to have a large enough audience. I have contacts with Men who are happy this happened. They fail to realize that is shooting ourselves in the foot.

IMBRA is about to enforced in the US by the Office of Homeland Security. The oppressive hand of the Federal Government is about to fall on US Men. How long must we continue to ignore the reality, that we are being Keel Hulled by the US Government? While we shoot at each other, we are being ass reamed. This is just plain stupid and is incredibly poor tactics.

Not sure if I'm the one you meant. No, I haven't worked in the ad or media industry. I have worked in government.

I respect Marc Rudov, and have nothing against him. The point I was challenging is abandoning web anonymity, which is a big step for someone like me with limited resources to deal with job loss or legal action. Wealthy celebrities have the finances to fight expensive public battles.

As far as expressing opinions, if you have a certain policy on your blog I respect that. Here I follow Karl's guidelines. If you see me as some kind of fool then so be it.
