Trix: perhaps you could offer your thoughts on this story: More double standards?

Popadibs: yes, the presence of a woman, is often a factor in guys arguing.

Oh, and Tera was a shit-stirring troll of a forum member. I think her posting a thread, asking why there weren't any female moderators, was what swung it, for me..........

But while feministing doesn't have any male mods, doesn't the GMP count? Where is the equiv on that? :}

Disclaimer: Women don't have to stoop down to be a mra as we are all equals, unlike Mr. Schyzer who has to grovel below mainstream feminists to gain their approval...

We did have a female admin once, Selkie, but she was caught red-handed passing information out of the admin zone to a non-admin member regarding a complaint made against them. We also had Kim as a moderator too.

Yes, the glasser. Not a surprise how it was handled. Read it last night.

Quote from Nikonian

As passionate as we are about visiting feminists, why aren't we doing more off the net again?

Who says we aren't?

Indeed, as Kim has demonstrated, it's not to say there can't be a female moderator, but that with all the modern pressures - there needs to be a strong recruit that painfully understands all the struggles men face and voice it aggressively and effectively in political terms, without appeasing any vested interest. To be totally committed to the concerns of men. And that you are loyal without question.

Quote from Trix

I've been looking around this forum for a bit and I've seen a lot of people equate feminism with misandry. Why is that? I am a feminist and I DO NOT HATE MEN. I swear. I'm not bullshitting you. Most feminists do not hate men. There are male feminists too actually.

I think that, in general, misogyny is a greater and more obvious problem even in Western society than misandry. I'm not saying misandry doesn't exist... I know there is discrimination and hate towards men, as well as blatant double standards. But really, to equate feminism and misandry, to denounce all feminists... I'm detecting a lot of misogyny there.

Most people are aware that there are male feminists.

That being so, how can denouncing feminism - which is a belief system, not a gender - be misogyny, which is hatred of the female gender?

You don't even realise how much propaganda you have soaked up. I don't mean that as an insult but in hope that you will be willing to take a fresh look at your beliefs and open up your mind to how words and beliefs have been twisted around.

Quote from Trix

Men are still views as better than woman by society, and when men are the ones making decisions, putting other men in places of power, that is an example of a patriarchy.

That is a part of what patriarchy is, yes.

You live in a democracy. Do you believe in that democracy. Do you really believe in the power of the vote, or do you think you live in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy. Do you believe that the mass of voters has the power to change society?

If you believe in democracy, check out which gender has the majority vote. I won't tell you because I don't expect you to believe me. I will simply say that if you believe in democracy, you will understand that women are the ones with power and just because they chose to put more men to work representing them than women doesn't change that women are in control.

If you don't believe in democracy, then you may well feel that it is big business - the money - that decides. That being so, check out who spends most of the money in your country and then check out who owns most of the personal wealth in your country. Again, I won't tell you the results but I will say this: you will discover that when it comes to influencing matters by owning and spending wealth, women are far ahead of men.

So, you know something of the meaning of patriarchy. Do you know that you live in a matriarchy?

For me it was when she asked how many of us were woman beater's and I believe she even put up a poll.

Was a set up.

TMOTS called her out on that one.

So....where did trix go?

Quote from outdoors

So....where did trix go?

Where she went is not overly important. The courteous and detailed responses of so many men here, tell me of a confident healthiness that is resplendent throughout the movement. A confidence in who we are and where we can direct our energies best. Onward we march.

Trix disappearing is just what I predicted; when logic and reason come through the door, feminism goes out the window. Same old, same old. See it as a credit to our movement, that we get the enemy to disappear through reasoning, whereas feminism gets the enemy to disappear through BANNING.

Who, really, has the upper logical hand?

Feminists often dont hate men.. They just don't care about them, unless the men have found some way of depleteing their manly ways down to the level of enuchdom.. And then they are not men, so it matters not how much they abuse them..

Eh!


Most of the people who agree with a feminist when she says "You must be a feminist because you believe x" don't hate men...

Many if not most moderate and all extreme feminists "tolerate" men less than most fish passionately love bicycles...
