After my last post, “Why Is This Woman Against Feminism?”, I got an email from Renee, who writes a blog called “Womanist Musings”. She wanted me to know that she’d written a reply called Why Feminism Is A Necessity, and was giving me a heads-up, which I thought was pretty decent of her. I followed […]

So, what do I have against feminism, anyway? Well, nothing, per se. I mean, if you look at feminism as a movement seeking to ensure equal opportunities and rewards for everyone regardless of gender, what could possibly be wrong with that? And to be fair, I think a lot of the early feminists – female […]

Men suffer from an (un)healthy percentage of domestic violence.  This is only now becoming known. Is it because women are all of a sudden attacking their men? I suppose anything’s possible, but I don’t think that’s it. The Group Health Cooperative Center for Health Studies decided to take an inventive approach - they surveyed men. The […]

Different people link to some of my articles, and sometimes, well…it just makes me tired. Reading the hate and self-righteousness, wanting to respond, and realizing I won’t be heard at all, is really discouraging and frustrating. It feels like a literal slap in the face.
And the thing is, their biggest argument is that they are […]

 This is a loooong article, but well worth your time to read. Cathy Young has written a number of article about subjects that are important to me, like domestic violence, and I’ll probably be posting some from time to time. This one is from February 1998, but it’s just as true today as it was […]

I came across this article the other day, and it struck me as a good example of the disconnect between feminist ideology and the reality of life in the Western world. I know such examples are everywhere, but this one managed to cram so many (deliberate) misconceptions into one article, I thought it would be […]

I tried and tried to quote only excerpts from this post,   but it only does itself justice if you read the whole thing. Apparently, the ladies…erm….womyn over at feministing can’t imagine why anyone would want a hope chest, filled with hope chest-y things.
According to those paragons of all that a woman should be, wanting to […]

On February 4, 2008, there was a comment posted on my old blogsite by someone called Richard Morgan. It was pretty much a textbook example of feminist indoctrination, and I believed then, as I still believe, that he sincerely meant well. I told him I was working on a blog entry to correct his misapprehensions, […]

Super Bowl was yesterday, for those of you who missed our holy tradition here in the States. We all know the myth, debunked on Snopes, about how men beat their women more on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year. In short, it was made up by women’s groups, disseminated to […]

 
I was browsing the web the other day when this article caught my attention: “Men Who Haven’t Been Victims Less Likely To Believe Child Sex Abuse Claims“. After reading it, I was left aghast that such a study was even done, much less that they were publishing it. To top it off, the article was […]

I heard this ad on the radio the other morning as I was waking up. When it got to the punch line, my eyes flew open and I gasped out loud. I have to say it was a very unpleasant way to wake up.
I went searching and found the tv spot, but it has the […]

In one of my December 2007 entries, my statements were questioned by Ampersand. He said that “two of the quotes on your list are dishonest — either fabricated or distorted through out-of-context quoting. Yet you apparently think I should be taking the list seriously. Why should I assume that the rest of the list […]

A friend of mine sent me this essay, from the Don’t Marry blog. I don’t know who wrote it. I don’t even know if it’s true.
But it certainly could be true, and I don’t doubt that this scenario happens, more often than we would like to think. Something very similar happened to the friend who […]

In the comments thread from my last post, the one that listed the feminist quotes, I got a response from Margaret that I wanted to address. I started to just leave a comment, but it wound up getting pretty long, so I thought I’d make it a post of its own because there were a […]

I said before that I would post what I’ve found on the internet about the definitions of feminism. Following is a partial list. I tried to include only those definitions from feminist for feminist-friendly sites, to try to be as fair as possible. I did not include those I found – and there were many […]
