Abjure the Redstockings Manifesto
Early today, I had an inspiration. I was pondering the question of eventual negotiation with our mortal foe feminism - when and how this might happen, and what terms we might bring to the table.
Since I always anticipate trickery from their side, I wanted to fashion some means or some device to keep us one step ahead of the game.
The primary difficulty, as I see it, is that once they decide to open talks with us, they'll deceitfully communicate with an "us" who isn't truly ....US! They'll want to salvage their perpetual revolution, and they will seek out factions likely to offer a sweet bargain that will preserve feminism's business-as-usual under suitable masking.
At a shrewd guess, these chosen negotiators are likely to be metamorphosed members of the so-called pro-feminist men's movement. No doubt, as time goes on and the term "MRA" gains radical chic cachet, such folk will be sneaking under the flap of the big tent and calling themselves "MRAs" also. (Here's a hint: the waxy ones who flaunt this term like a ten-acre flag, or wear it like a stage costume, are the ones to watch out for!)
Negotiation is not, be it understood, a meeting of particular people at a set time. Rather, it is an informal process of dialogue, in full hearing of the world, through the many direct and indirect channels of communication which the world puts at our disposal.
What the feminists want to avoid is direct conversation with "whackjobs" who harbor an uncompromising radical analysis. By that I mean, anybody who poses a fundamental threat to the feminist weltanschauung. They pray, above all things, to keep such persons forever on their "do not engage" list. Their endeavor shall always be to cut such persons out of the loop.
We who aspire to meaningful change, and to a clean-cut settlement of matters presently galling us, must make it our own endeavor to thwart such a thing. Remember what we are negotiating: the terms of feminism's obsolescence. The feminists want to postpone this in perpetuity, but they must learn to dance a different step.
What then, would assure the transmission of an uncompromised counter-feminist analysis into the sphere of negotiation? Very simply this: a universally promulgated understanding of the preconditions necessary for negotiation to begin, one that is binding upon all concerned.
I have in mind a particular instrument, and it is this that was the object of my morning inspiration. The early feminist document known as the Redstockings Manifesto is convenient to the business I am now proposing, given that this document embodies much weighty matter in a marvellous economy of words. The principles declared in this manifesto are in nearly every way central to the feminist endeavor, in such sort that their exclusion would effectively scoop the pulp clean out of the melon.
In view of the points outlined above, the instrument which I propose shall be termed The Oath of Abjuration of the Redstockings Manifesto.
For convenience, let us give it a short form: The Oath of Abjuration.
And so, let it be understood that all self-declared feminists or other women who wish to engage in negotiatory dialogue with the pro-male sector must make it clear by one or another means that they are signatory to the Oath of Abjuration. If they fail to do so, then no agreement they may conclude will be deemed legitimate or binding, or of sufficient force to command respect from pro-male partisans who were excluded from negotiation.
By the way, anybody at all who wishes to swear to the Oath, male or female, is encouraged to do so. You are more than welcome to abjure, even if you have never jured in the first place.
Let us now endeavor to put this about in the world and make it generally known, and to plant it in the brains of all concerned in a way that will colonize their thoughts when the time is right.

It is good to think ahead, and plan for certain events, no matter their relative likelihood. Then, no matter what happens, you are prepared.
In my case, I don't think there will be any negotiations at all. Assuming Muslim nukes give us time (not something I am assuming) the only thing which will cause women of all ilks to wish to negotiate is the marriage strike.
And, the marriage strike to succeed MUST be one man at a time.
No one can negotiate for several million men acting one man at a time. The manginas will volunteer to negotiate in our collective names, and will agree we will give them their terms, and denounce any man who doesn't fall into their line, but it doesn't matter; no one will obey them.
I have been wrong before and will be wrong again, but that's my opinion. Still, as I said, all possibilities should be prepared for. Good job.

Well, now...."negotiation", as I conceive it, is something more informal than the word might seem to imply. Pretty much, it would just mean people in large numbers all across society dialoguing about what it would take for feminism to call it a day and phase itself out. This would happen via books, articles, speeches, casual conversations, bull sessions, etc, spread out over time and space.
My idea is to set some mighty stringent terms.
Naturally, the fems will look for people they can "deal" with, and of course we know what kind of people that'll be...
Their effort will always be to cut hardcore MRAs out of the loop, and perpetuate the status quo in a disguised form. Neo-colonialism so to speak..
So I say, make 'em abjure the Redstockings Manifesto, right up front, as minimum qualifications to be conversing in the first place. And those who will not abjure will go on the "do not engage" list.
It's never too early to say to any feminist we might encounter: "Are you willing to abjure?"
Put that question into circulation; get it "in the air", I say...so that everybody knows about it, like a pink gorilla in the parlor.
This will place the radfems in a state of moral isolation, and put considerable pressure on the lessrads, also!
And the marriage strike....yes of course. Full speed ahead!
