I'm really not nit-picking but....A true revolutionary is defined not by being anti-something, but pro-something better. Anti-feminism is a good label for now. It attracts recruits as the movement grows. But it's just a reaction to existing conditions. Very soon we have to start thinking what we are 'pro'.
The traditional male weapons in the sex war are non-cooperation and flight.The traditional female weapon is celebration of paternity and male responsibility. If women now choose to define this as patriarchal oppression, they are throwing away their best trick. Feminism, in dismantling patriarchy, is simply reviving the underlying greater natural freedom of men. - Geoff Dench 1998 (edited) | ||||

I do think it's important to be anti-feminist, purely because we are anti- their hate tactics and lies In regards to pro- well, if we are to say pro-male, people often assume we are misognistic or against women But that's societal brainwashing for you In any case- I think once we have tarnished feminism and brought awareness to it's evils, then I would be more than happy to engage in a debate/discussion of pro-ness Incidentally, as I was talking to Karl yesterday, I didn't recognise that femhag dworkin at first I also think this would be another fitting image: lol | ||||

I can see feminists jumping to the picture being 'No Women' or something, I think the move from 'anti-feminist to 'anti-misandry' is going to make it much harder for the 'ohh you dont women to have rights' camp. The picture is an invatation to nonsence, but the text part of the logo is good! | ||||

Thanks all for the comments thus far. The point Glitz has made has been echoed by Fred X (or rather, Fred X mentioned it first, but either way, same point being raised). So to explain: The image of the woman behind the 'no xyz' symbol is that of Andrea Dworkin. She being a prime feminist icon, seemed like the ideal choice of image to say 'no' to. However, as pointed out, not everyone will recognise her face and it could easily be misconstrued as 'no women', which is clearly not the statement it is intended to portray. So on this advice, I shall amend it.

also, as you may have noticed... i've changed the logo completely now. It doesn't sit well within the forum's blue-ish theme, but it does draw the eye's attention somewhat. Hence, the logo is complete. Thank you kindly all who have given input on this.
