Thread: Militant feminist criticises Male Studies

'Male Studies - A New Academic Discipline' - Fact: male studies has been ongoing for centuries now and it is called study of 'mankind.' Subjects continuing to be studied with the focus on 'mankind's perspective' include his story, philosophy, science, religion, politics, social policy, law, culture, media, geography, anthropology and of course medicine.

Errrr, “Mankind” as in men and other people who are kind of like them ........ like women.
And lets not study any of those pesky men things any more, eh, they just get in the way of all the really important stuff, like feelings and being all mystical and shopping

The Patriarchal system once again reasserts itself as the only rightful keeper of knowledge and wisdom!

Quite right too, now shut up and make me a cup of tea.

Misandry is a codeword for 'women-blaming'

Hardly, but it certainly describes many of ms Drew's regular outbursts.

Media promotion of contempt for men has escaped my notice

Being ignorant of something so utterly blatant renders everything else she has to say as meaningless piffle.

She's clearly worried about a male beachhead being established within feminist dominated academia.

It is easy to be tongue and cheek about this kind of criticism concerning a male studies discipline in academia. However, we must understand that these people will fight tooth and nail to keep any kind of real academic study of men and men's issues out of the lexicon of higher education.
Two factors are involved here:
1. Money
2. World view
These are probably the most powerful of motivators when it comes to squelching something new; especially when it comes to thoughts and opinions.
I worked in Higher Education for a few years and was driven out in part because of my attitudes towards militant feminism; although there was a serious personality issue involved the fact that I repeatedly and overtly pointed out that college campuses and the post secondary education environment as a whole were hostile towards men destroyed any support I might of had for my thoughts-and my career.
These people are serious and they will be in the van of the phalanx in opposition to the very idea of a Male Studies curriculum. Do not under estimate their power and influence.

Quote from Trollop

Apparently men are once again in danger of being submerged and oppressed by what?

A lack of spending on their health? Hardly any parenting rights? Heavy losses, following divorce? Terrible media portrayal? Being murdered at more than twice the rate of their female counterparts? Heavier prison sentences? A lack of support, should they be the victims of domestic violence? Female-bias, in the education system? A higher retirement age? Being expected to do all the running, in the dating scene? Have I missed anything?

And what are WOMEN oppressed by? Odd, as per usual, for a feminist rambling, no examples of female oppression - real, or imagined - seem to be offered; merely an array of fancy words, instead.

Quote from Trollop

Misandry is a codeword for 'women-blaming' given women do not have the socio-economic power men as a group continue to retain and refuse to relinquish even the smallest amount since this would supposedly upset the 'natural hierarchical order of 'mankind' wherein women must not be recognised or respected as human.

WOMEN AREN'T RESPECTED AS HUMAN???!!!!!!! Don't make me friggin' laugh!! They take the complete lion's share of our healthcare spending, and yet this, apparently, happens in the same world in which they're not seen as human? By prolonging their lives? Yeah, right.......

Quote from Trollop

Such male-centered claims are not new but this new pseudo discipline can be seen as some men reacting at what they perceive as encroachment on their inalienable rights and power over women as a group.

Yep, absolutely, she's got me, there; when I watch advert after advert, of men being portrayed as bufoons; when I see case after case, of men being screwed over, in divorce cases; when I see female-male violence being glorified; when I see more and more money being poured into women's healthcare, and less and elss on men's; when I miss out on having a proper relationship with the son I love to bits........ALL that's on my mind is how this could threaten the power I have over the two-dozen women I have locked up in my cellar. Yep....

Anything past the end of your nose would escape your notice, sweety-pie. I say we have a -gender-reversal', when it comes to media portrayal. Men can be displayed in slightly-more-sexual-a-light, but women can be shown to be physically abused by men under the guise of 'comedy', and generally portrayed as buffoons. Why do I get the strange feeling that, all of a sudden, such portrayals would be 'misogynistic', 'degrading' etc etc?

Quote from Trollop

but perhaps such messages have been subsumed under the media's obsession with promoting............and eroticisation of male violence against women.

Excuse me? Is there some sort of a channel I can't pick up? I have NEVER seen such images.

It must be pretty cool to be a feminist, it really must; take your own lies, deceit and irrational behaviour, and then project it onto your opposers.......and somehow have most people believe you.

Dead right. The article is just a piece of fluff by a typical braindead misandric female. But there will be much more serious challenges to this attempt to start up a new and much needed academic discipline; and it will come from much more influential and powerful people. Stand by for the onslaught.

Another brainless harpy blowing hot air.
Those are the rant and ravings of a person that will say anything at the expense of looking stupid.
I guess education can't buy common sense.

Yes - suicide rates (at least 4 times higher for men), deaths in the workplace (at least 95% male), reverse rapes, and genital mutilation (something which is even states sponsored in cities such as Birmingham).

hey,Ms Drew,

More misandric grable that isn't fit to be printed.
They must be scared because more and more men are waking the hell up and seeing the horse shit for what it really is as our power waxs and their wans.

That's the thing, they are scared constipated.
They're reactions are that of a 4 year old pouting and screaming because they can't get their way.
I don't know whether to laugh or puke at such a predictable response.

Her 'assertion' is absolutely absurd. The "eroticisation" of violence is exclusively directed at men (think xena warrior, kill bill 1 and 2, dark angel, charlies angels, la femme nikita, dollhouse etc).

I'd challenge her or any feminist to name a programme which has a similar theme where male characters go around punching, kicking, stabbing, burning, impaling, shooting and decapitating women set to a background of 'sexy music.' And, where those violent depictions are portrayed as justified and without any accountability (as is the case with any media depiction of female violence against men).

Yeah and I wouldn't be surprised if the trollops who fed off that garbage were at the lowest pit of self misery.
If I didn't know any better I'd say the nanny state and the media gets off on misleading gullible women.
