    Teacher fired for teaching men's rights course

    The matriarchy rules

    Termination of CEGEP course on Men's Lives eliminated a challenge to
    feminist domination

    By Jeffrey Asher, The Ottawa Citizen

    In autumn 1994, I offered students at Dawson College the only course in
    Canada on Men's Lives. One young woman asked me, "Is this another
    man-hating course?" I assured her that we would examine men's and women's
    lives objectively and treat them with equal respect. She smiled and
    chirped, "I'm in."

    Father taught me to respect ladies and that human rights were indivisible.
    In the 1970s, I lectured on sexual equality of opportunity and equality
    before the law. Like most men, my naivete about feminist politics was
    sustained by raging hormones.

    By 1980, the women's movement was increasingly co-opted by the lunatic
    fringe. Germaine Greer pontificated, "Women have very little idea of how
    much men hate them ... men do not themselves know the depth of their
    hatred." Further incitements to anti-male hatred and violence exuded from
    Dworkin, McKinnon and others. They remain required reading in feminist
    courses, which exclude male faculty or authors, brainwash young women and
    ostracize young men. This paranoia remains unchallenged by human-rights
    commissions and is financed by governments. Sunera Thobani's recent "hate
    speech" is protected by her University of British Columbia women's-studies
    professorship.

    Critics of their approach pay for their dissent with their careers.

    I proposed Men's Lives because the three largest departments (humanities,
    English and the social sciences) offered more than 83 courses with feminist
    titles and content, but nothing objective about men. The sisterhood
    attempted to neuter the contents and then stalled registration for Men's
    Lives. I threatened to appeal to the Ministry of Education and the media.
    The few colleagues who still dared to speak to me (off campus) warned me
    that my career was in peril. I responded with righteous indignation about
    equality, fairness and academic freedom. Such naivete.

    Two-thirds of Men's Lives students were women and, like the men, typically
    open-minded, morally brave and delightfully quick-witted. They welcomed my
    course as deliverance from years of classroom male-bashing. In feminist
    courses, young men were condemned before their classmates as stupid,
    patriarchal exploiters, batterers and rapists.

    From my course outline: "We will examine men's values and experiences, and
    the cultural meanings for men of courage, duty, fidelity, success, family
    protection, career and sexuality. The intellectual, political, scientific
    and cultural achievements of men will be surveyed throughout history.
    Reasoned and compassionate analysis will be used to search for
    reconciliation away from sexual confrontation, so that men, women and
    families may live in harmony." Four universities regularly welcomed me as a
    guest lecturer. The matriarchy went apoplectic.

    Disrupt Classes

    Students warned me about agent provocateurs incited by teachers to disrupt
    my classes. One accused me of being paid by Playboy magazine (I wish) and
    my answering machine recorded anonymous accusations of sexual abuse and
    death threats. One night, the chairman of women's studies vandalized my
    bulletin board, in front of a surveillance camera. On the front page of The
    Gazette, she and my department chair defended her bullying. I requested
    management terminate her supervision over my courses. A year later, she
    ordered that my course outline exclude the term "anti-male hysteria."
    Management suspended me from teaching until I removed the politically
    incorrect insight. I appealed and lost.

    A Men's Lives assignment on sex bias in the media required students to
    search the periodical indexes for article titles with the word "men" and
    "women." They were astounded to discover that the ratio of female to male
    articles is 10:1, and often 20:1. Students scoured StatsCan data; they
    learned that men comprise 68 per cent of homicide victims, 80 per cent of
    suicides, 92 per cent of AIDS deaths, 97 per cent of deaths on the job,
    double the female rate of heart diseases and die six years prematurely.
    They learned about sex differences in the brain, hormones, abilities,
    perception and behaviour. My students delighted in the power of statistical
    research.

    The sisterhood denounced scientific methodology and slandered my
    reputation. Every semester, management incited the worst of students to
    complain they "felt uncomfortable" and failed my excessively high
    standards. They even passed a confessed cheater. Truthfully, I was not
    demanding enough. Students failed who should never have graduated from high
    school. To management complaints of excessive dropouts, I requested their
    retention requirements. They indignantly denied quotas, and reprimanded me
    yet again. According to union grievance officers and lawyers, never before
    had a teacher been so relentlessly persecuted.

    Feminist courses impel polarization and "dumbing down" of the curriculum,
    to maintain their enrolment. Evidence is plentiful in their course
    outlines, typically ungrammatical, illogical, filled with jargon and often
    incoherent. Since the mid-1990s, female students and competent professors
    increasingly abandoned the sisterhood for the search for useful knowledge
    and successful careers.

    In May 2000, the head of women's studies, in collaboration with management,
    convened a committee that announced "a significant number of students" in
    my classes felt "belittled and marginalized if they voiced their opinions
    or try to substantiate any interpretation of data that may be different."
    (sic) They again refused to show me the complaints. They canceled Men's
    Lives and ordered me to prepare - within 12 days - three new courses on
    "critical thinking," technology and business ethics, for which they knew I
    had no training. I protested and demanded that Men's Lives be reinstated.
    They threatened to fire me.

    Shrewd Timing

    Their timing was shrewd. My students were dispersed and unavailable for
    protest. Of all colleagues who postured in their classes on freedom of
    speech, only the president of the union rallied to my defence. I refused to
    capitulate and retired early.

    In six years of evaluations, students praised Men's Lives as among the best
    courses in the college. More than 85 per cent reported that I treated them
    fairly, with content and teaching that was "superior" and "outstanding."
    One hundred per cent agreed I treated them with "courtesy and respect." For
    30 years of evaluations, I ranked as one of the most popular, fair and
    interesting teachers. I rated highest in "enthusiasm, approachability,
    tolerance, responsibility, availability, treating students with courtesy
    and respect and in a fair and non-discriminatory manner" and "motivating
    students to do their best." How I miss my students' intellectual energy and
    curiosity. Teaching was my life.

    The termination of Men's Lives eliminated the only rational opposition to
    political correctness and feminist domination at Dawson College.

    Half of the human race remains unexamined, except for condemnation. In
    2000, Canadian universities listed two courses on men, neither taught that
    year, and more than 1,617 feminist courses, offered in programs from
    undergraduate to PhD degrees.

    Throughout higher education, the matriarchy rules.

    Radical feminists continue to win their government-subsidized war against
    men, heterosexuality, the family, religion, merit, objectivity, justice and
    reality. Long after the defeat of totalitarianism, radical feminism
    indoctrinates students to discriminate by sex and race and enforces
    censorship and repression on what is acceptable to think and feel.

    Citizens must demand reconstruction of the foundations of objective
    education and liberty. Freedom of speech is essential to maintain the
    ability to search for the truth. Students' minds must be trained to
    challenge dogmas if democracy is to survive. The time is long overdue for
    universities and colleges to eradicate feminist intolerance and return to
    reason and objectivity. Dedicated teachers are eager to reconstruct an
    educated and tolerant society. Give us the call.

    I think that Jeffrey Asher would be an ideal person to invite to join our board.

    I would like to offer him an Emeritus Professorship, here, on the Men's Faculty of the Anti-Misandry.com University.

    He could design and run a course accredited by popular aclaim.

    God is not alone in knowing that such a course is essential.

    Anyone could come here and do a BSc in Men's Studies.

    Advanced chaps and chapesses could do a Masters in Men in the World.

    PhD students here could do cutting edge research in Misandry, Feminazism, Public Institution Corruption etc, and get the title Doctor of Blokeology.
    I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it.
    But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up.
    I am outnumbered.

    We now have laws saying that Palimony no longer requires Cohabitation in NJ. In Tennessee the Volunteer State if your are behind in child support you are denied the Right to Vote. You are treated like a Felon. In Indiana a Father was sentenced to 7 years in Prison for arrears on Child Support longer than a Manslaughter conviction. US Men are now denied Passports if they are behind on Child Support. The US is seeking to impose a law on Foreign Nations to collect child support from US Men who have left the US. And track them like Terrorists.

    A New law HR 6081 denies retired US Men their lifetime assets to expatriate and leave the US Gynocracy. The US has become the USSR. I have a now name for the US. The Union of Soviet Socialist Americas. That is what it has become thanks to the cowardice of its Men and the Socialism imposed by its Feminist Fascists. Obama is the Bitch of NOW and even that is not enough. One Third of Hilliary's supporters are vowing to stay home in this election.

    Men in the US are routinely given a Child Support Award without DNA testing. In Dallas this week four more men were freed by DNA testing. Another 450 cases are under review. The US is waging a war against its Male populace. And the Sheep continue to avoid reality.

    This week it turns out my Nephew by marriage has been reading my postings. They were instrumental in his coming over to the Men's movement. He tells me that despite my refusal to bad mouth my ex wife. She has bad mouthed me for years to any family members who would listen. As my current wife has predicted. I am glad that in four years I will no longer be subject to her problems. As my youngest will turn 18. And I will help my children without any interference from their Mother. Who is campaigning for me to buy her and her Husband a Home.

    Uncle Khankrum !

    Bulgars, united.

    Does he ask the right questions, Khan? Youth is affected by even the well-meaning. I should have asked my Uncle, the King Amfortas, what ailed him, but my mother, Heart's Sorrow, advised me not to ask personal questions. I couldabeen the King of the Holy Grail a lot earlier.

    As it is, the old fella lingers in pain. His wound is deep and lasts.

    May your nephew do better and cure your ailment, your Male-Wound.

    Every day I take a moment to wonder whether this whole men's activism is a bunch of baloney.

    Then an article like this comes along and reaffirms my often shaky conviction to the cause.
    Fuck it all. Fuck this world. Fuck everything that you stand for. Don't belong. Don't exist. Don't give a shit. Don't ever judge me.

    That's what seperates us from the animals.

    We do question ourselves now & then, we do wonder "Are we in the right?" and we do explore possibilities outside those to our own benefit.

    Feminists, on the other hand... You'll be hard pressed to find one acknowledging that s/he questions him or herself about their beliefs.
    Out of the gloom a voice spake unto me. 'Smile and be happy, Things could get worse."
    So I smiled and was happy, and behold... Things did get worse.

    To be fair, I can't recall hearing such from an M(R)A/masculist, either. Guess I'll have to start asking around.

    If you were to inspect this forum, you will find a few questions being asked... I've done it myself.

    Introspection and "Knowing Thyself" is at the very root masculine thought. Mankind did not make it this far by not questioning.

    Think about it.
