Ahh...yesss! The
Conspiracy of Silent Men!
I like that! It has a ring to it, does it not?
In the post immediately prior to this, I directed your attention to an item at Ulrich's
Inferno blog, where he reports upon the surprising prevalence of male political awareness among men in his own circle.
Just a few hours ago, by way of confirmation, the following was submitted (by "anonymous") to the comment log for the post in question. I present it here, only slightly edited, in order give it a spotlight.
"ive been lurking through the various MRA blogs for about a year now since i first discovered them though i havent posted ever. i guess i was starting on the bachelor road since i was 14 and said i would never get married. a few years ago at 18 i bought a tshirt which i still have and wear which says. "Not all men are stupid, some are bachelors!" the older i get ,which all in all so far isnt that old, the more that t shirt rings true. regarding your recent blog post i have also ran into the same thing...more men are in on this than we think.....here is a theory i throw out for everyone out there.
"men know how to keep secrets or at least keep their mouth shut.
"not just in that we have been conditioned...we have in some ways....but strategic instinct....its better not to let your enemy see you coming from miles away...surprise and hopefully victory are then easier to achieve
"i ran into a british guy (in his late 20s, business man, smartly dressed, etc) in berlin going through airport security and in about 1 minute we were discussing the nanny state of england. started off with security in general, then security in england, followed by bam!....unemployed "baby factories"(his words) on welfare with council flats and how whack laws are and how society is slanted...he was not in on the MRA blogs or movement though he had heard of it. these things were his opinions and he had done good research. he said most of his friends thought similarly. you would never guess he thought this way by looking at him or even talking to him in regular conversation.but this conversation also made me notice that change in the wind....like a stiff northern breeze is coming.
"times are changing boys...."
Yes. A stiff northern breeze. An arctic wind. As the iceberg once told me:
"Outta sight, man!"
This post is dedicated to all you out-of-sight men, wherever you may be. You know who you are. If you are an "outta sight man", I salute you. I too, am such a man!
I know that one school of thought says, "we must break the silence" - and that school, to be sure, has its points. But then again, silence is cool and mysterious, don't you think?
And I can assure you that
our network ALREADY circles the globe, yes indeed! We've got our signs, countersigns, passwords and secret handshakes all worked out. The mythical "old boys network" is
no longer mythical. It is REAL, and
feminism made it possible by making the growth of it
predictably inevitable!
And for that, we owe
feminism a debt of gratitude. Two cheers for
feminism!
Hip-hip-hurrah! Hip-hip-hurrah!
All right lads, that's quite enough for now! Shush up again! ;-)
