......to me! Well, not ME exactly, but my blog. I just realized that my blog was officially one year old on Aug. 5th. O.K., not a monumental achievement or anything, but the thing that really stuck out to me at the time is that Aug. 4th is my anniversary (we just celebrated 16 years) .

I honestly don't recall the series of events that transpired or the thought processes which led to me deciding to start my blog. However, as I was spurred to action the day after my anniversary, I can't help but think that there's a correlation between the two events.

I imagine that on my anniversary, a time when my husband and I celebrate our marriage and the love we have for one another, I found the ongoing attack against men in our society more offensive than usual and decided I was going to speak out against it.

I've always been something of an anti-feminist and, for several years now, I've been aware of the attack on men, fathers, families, boys and all things masculine. Of course, I've lived my life in a way that mirrored my beliefs and I've discussed with friends, family and acquaintances my feelings concerning misandry in society and the real agenda of feminism, but it was the day after my anniversary that I felt compelled to start doing something about it.

I imagine it's because of the examples of the men in our lives that women like myself feel the need to stand up against feminism. Feminism insults and maligns every man that we've ever known, be it our fathers, our brother, husbands, sons, or even strangers; unknown men who's lives have touched and bettered our own.

The first thing that opened my eyes to the reality of misandry in our society was (and I've spoken of this in past posts) a class I was taken on raising boys. The class specifically said that there was an attack on men and boys and that because of it, our boys were in serious trouble. It went on to list the ways that masculinity was being attacked, via media, by our laws and in our schools. It was a shocking moment of revelation for me, Kim, who had grown up in a conservative environment where husbands and fathers were loved and admirable, when I realized just how real the assault had become. I'd been raised that feminism was an assault on the family and that marriage and family was under attack, but this was the first time that I became aware of the way men, in particular, were being maligned and villified and I was disgusted, saddened and appalled.

All the above considered, I dedicate and attribute this blog, along with any and all activist efforts which I pursue, to my husband and to all the wonderful men I've known in my life, without whom I may never have been angered and disgusted to the point of pursuing it.
