Fidelbogian Attitude™
This is for anybody who finds Fidelbogian Attitude™ (albeit in its blander form) entertaining, of utility, or possibly worth emulating. You never can tell what might prove to be politically useful, and of course I am always happy to be useful if at all possible! ;)
Go and quickly read the following, and then dip into the comment thread a little bit. The thread contains upwards of 700 entries. Did I read all of them? Not on your life!

I left a brief item of my own on that comment thread, whereof I share herewith:
Keep hammering on the essential points. And yes, you can say almost any inflammatory thing you wish if your TONE is not inflammatory! ;)
(Although an inflammatory tone does have its place at times; don't get me wrong!)

I left a brief item of my own on that comment thread, whereof I share herewith:
"My chief criticism of Knepper's opinion piece is that it was poorly written. He leaves himself open to the "slings and arrows" of his detractors on this comment thread, but if he had practiced rhetorical discipline they'd have been deprived of ammunition and left with nothing to say - or very little.Since posting the above, I have additionally posted the following:
"Knepper should have thought harder and chosen his words more carefully. Cutting edge writing of the sort which he has attempted here, is a bit like the martial arts. A true master can block, and position himself so rapidly, and so skillfully, that his opponent can never land a blow. Not only that, but the master can actually turn his opponent's energy against him.
"Alex Knepper is, manifestly, not such a master. He has much to learn. . ."
"The central question about rape, which is continually misplaced in the shuffle (especially when the discussion gets heated), is that the majority of rape cases are inherently unprosecutable.Hey, it's nothing fancy, but sometimes "nothing fancy" is just the ticket! ;)
"The only way to MAKE them prosecutable is to LOWER THE STANDARDS OF EVIDENCE.
"This would have the effect that a lot more actual rapists would get convicted and (I would assume) sent to prison.
"It would also have the effect that a lot more innocent men would get convicted and sent to prison.
"So, unless you consider a judicial holocaust of the innocent to be acceptable damage in the "war on rape", then I would aver that practical solutions in this domain are not realistically (read: humanely and equitably) within reach."
Keep hammering on the essential points. And yes, you can say almost any inflammatory thing you wish if your TONE is not inflammatory! ;)

Thanks for the link, anon.
We're not out of the woods yet, however.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
Two Clichés in a row. I'm "on a roll".
Wait...that makes THREE!
It's all B.S. plain and simple.
There are too many people in our cultures that have had nonsense pounded into their heads.
feminism, MRA, PUA, all of it - its moreso labels than any actual "meat".
@ScareCrow:
Yup, I hear what you're sayin' about labels. The world is too complicated and messy for labels - that's the problem.
And yet. . . labels are so convenient and even necessary.
But as the old zen master said: "the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon."
So the secret is to look at the finger long enough to find the moon. Then. . . stop looking at the finger, for it has already served its purpose.
My whole vision for "counter-feminism" has always been about getting beyond labels and beyond pointing fingers. . . :)
Of course, we wouldn't have to worry as much about things like date rape if we weren't trying to pack the colleges with women (many of whom will drop out after getting their MRS degree anyway) who study "incredibly important" things like women's studies and ecological science. And if men kept a short leash on their daughters and didn't permit them to carouse with a lot of men late into the night.
@Joab:
Your suggestions certainly do have the aspect of pure, cold practicality about them. But of course, a feminist would find them offensive.
AND. . . ((drum rollll...!!!)) . . if I fail to correct you or "call you out" for saying such things, then I will have "discredited" myself. :-o
Which of course means that some feminist somewhere would be offended by my existence.
(Which, come to think of it, they already are. . .)
Feminists caused the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

Yes, that's right. Feminists caused the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The muslims who are fighting the American army mainly just don't want the feminist western culture to come to their countries also, which is why they are fighting against the western powers. They don't want their women to also be turned into prostitutes.
If these stupid American bitch feminists want equal rights, they should also go to the front lines and risk their lives. But no, they'd rather just send the men out to die for their "equal rights" while they sit at home in Starbucks, and cheating on their boyfriends who are over there fighting.
Feminism is directly responsible for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And to anyone who doubts that feminism is a major cause of this bloody war, let's not forget that feminists have openly tried to justify this war in the name of "liberating the Afghan women". If these scumbag feminists feel that way, why don't THEY go out to the front lines? That would be REAL EQUAL RIGHTS! But no, they send the men off to go die so that they can continue to sit on their fat ass and watch Sex in the City. I refuse to fight for or defend such whores. Let the feminists defend themselves, since they "don't need men", anyway. Feminists are such hypocrites.
These feminists have the blood of all of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians killed in Iraq/Afghanistan on their hands. May God save them from their sins.
Thank you Anon. It does my heart good to hear men speaking their non-feminist minds, and to savor the informative diversity of sentiments to which they give voice!
