Here, Let Me Show You How It's Done!

A couple hours of meticulous work in the fine Adobe Photoshop program has yielded what you see here. Ain't Photoshop just the greatest??

Friends, this is COUNTER-FEMINISM IN ACTION!

Will this offend somebody? GOOD! I dearly WANT to offend somebody! I lust to do so; I thirst to do so! In fact, I personally invite Dr. Michael Kaufman himself to crucify me upside-down in a barrel of shit! Come on punk, let's see ya do it!!

Get this into the meme-pool - that's all that matters!

Quite a few people in the USA will hear what this is saying. Damn near everybody in Europe will!

It's all yours; print it, post it on websites, stick in on t-shirts and coffee mugs!

In a few days, I will create a smaller version suitable to web-page headers and sidebars.

Here is the URL for the White Ribbon Campaign, in case you are curious:

Ah yes, the white ribbon campaign. I will use this picture if OK and do a story on it because RADAR has made October DV truth month.

Also it is worthwhile to mention Yellow Ribbon Campaign because I have heard whispers it is coming to NZ as soon as they can find a break. (something that will trigger it to be good)

Hmmm... that "mapsu" thing sounds like a joke, at least until you catch a glint of the agenda behind it - which is, to demean males. Trouble is, it looks so silly on the surface (deliberately so!) that anybody who kicks a fuss about it will look even MORE silly. Mighty clever, the way they calculate these angles.

Did you have a good look at the site and enter the forum? You will see what they have achieved so far.

Genius, fidel .. ;-)

(although, I have to say, I'm a bit weary of seeing my native language only being used in its negative 1933-45 context in the U.S. or the UK ... but that's a different topic)

Anyway - so if you REALLY want to offend somebody, send the logo to the woman conducting the "anti-feminism is similar to anti-semitism" study at Vienna university. You can find her email address here. But note that she got the correct syntax of her email address wrong, it certainly is "@ikf.ac.at" and not ".ikf.ac.at" ...
I suppose she'll either won't get it (or pretend she won't get it), or she will be REALLY REALLY offended. :-) Just have a look at her "Forschungsschwerpunkte" (main subjects of scientific research):

"Frauenforschung, Antisemitismusforschung, Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust."

Isn't it interesting that of all people, she got the job? And isn't it clear right from the start what kind of conclusions somebody will draw who's an "expert" in women's studies (Frauenforschung), National Socialism and the Holocaust? It's like paying a corporation polluting the environment for preparing a study that it's the competing corporations which are the true eco-nazis. Sheer madness.

Hi CF,

I used your picture on my site for a post.

introduction-to-misandry-meaning-hatred-of-men

OK, so I only get one or two comments now and then but the women tell me in person that they like reading what I wrote. They have never heard this stuff before. Except for one. She is a proud feminist and commented but you have to take the good with the bad when standing up.

I am a bit off track. I want to give you some good news.

Afterwards, I received this in my e-mail.

Dear Julie,
I'm a senior writer with North and South magazine getting into a story about single parent families. I'm keen to interview several solo mums and dads for the article and wondered if you could put me in touch with a few. The article I envisage writing will take issue with some of the conventional wisdom about the effects of being raised in a one parent household. I'm hoping to talk to Peggy Drexler, author of Raising Boys without Men, and have spoken to David Fergusson, whose longtitudinal study has found some evidence disputing old notions
about the negative effects of being brought up in a sph.
I think the story will stand or fall on the quality of the mothers and fathers I interview and would v much appreciate any help you could offer in putting me together with interesting, articulate interviewees.
Likewise, if you know of any NZ researchers or family workers who would be good value. I'm South Island based, and would like to concentrate on Chch-based families, but am able and willing to fly north, south, east or west if required.
****

Of course I can help. And I need to tell you that this is one very prominent magazine read by mostly middle age men and women. You know the upper class. How freaky how things work. And that longtitudinal study is mentioned in my post. I think this writer has got the idea from us.

Anyhow, keep up the great work.

I just want to add that I have no intention of exploiting anyone. There are many women who are single parents and have sons. They know the importance of a father to support them. Else they cannot be the CEO's and University heads and such that they are. This is a chance to scrutinise feminism and that is what I want to see so that men get a fair go. Yet it is more important that sons get a fair go. And daughters. Both need a father.

Julie... i think I've said it elsewhere, but anyway...

I believe it is important to impress upon women in particular why it is in their OWN interest to oppose things such as feminism.

Rather than dwelling on what feminism does to those poor, poor menfolk, it is important to mention what it does to EVERYBODY. Which includes las mujeres, obviously!

(You addressed this point quite well actually, in that recent comment you wrote.)

Julie : Glenn Sacks writes about Raising Boys Without Men: Lesbian Parents Good, Dads Bad (by Peggy Drexler)

While Raising Boys is being promoted as a harmless, feel-good affirmation for “maverick moms,” it is in fact an attack on the institution that research shows is the best-suited to raising children—the family. Drexler encourages women thinking of having fatherless children to make that “leap of faith.” But the rates of all major youth pathologies, including juvenile crime, teen pregnancy, teen drug abuse, and school dropouts, are tightly correlated with fatherlessness. Drexler waxes poetic about the nebulous benefits of fatherless parenting, but makes little attempt to explain why fatherless families produce so many troubled and pathological children.

Whereas feminists try to underplay the importance of the father and the traditional family; at the same time, your website is a support group for single parents, how many of them would agree with you that the breakdown of the family is a negative indicator of societal stability ? Single mothers, especially, can very easily play into the hands of the feminist ideology. Dilemma ?
(No offence to single parents.)

Anon,

Thanx for the info.

I should probably feel pretty silly about now but I prefer to just see the funny side.

Hmm. That's a very good question.

I appreciate you saying no offence to single parents and none taken. This is my fourth attempt to answer this question. Which I can't because I don't know whether I understand the question.

I know it is a simple question but ... what do you mean by dilemma?

Shite, I went overboard. Defences cam up.

But the truth is I started to question myself if there is a dilemma. If there is it can't be helped. When the men's groups have more power we can step out.

CF, I deleted my comment as you can see. It was wrong of me to say such things. And bragging isn't a good thing. I have decided to become a lurker instead.

That way I can collect information without getting myself into trouble. lol And enjoy the comments between you guys without taking offense.
