Non-Feminist Women are Welcome at the Counter-Feminist

Trent13, an extremely non-feminist woman, has left a weighty comment on the post immediately prior to this, and her words have furnished me with matter for reflection. But first, the comment:

"The better safe than sorry attitude is understandable, and on average most women needn't declare that they are feminist. For those who adamantly declare they are anti-feminist (and show themselves to be so), I think a differentiation should be made. It isn't as if being an anti-feminist woman is considered by female-dom as laudable - in a sense, it's considered worse than if a male were anti-feminist, traitor to the cause and all that.

"Continued antagonization of the small minority of women who are against feminism, using the safer than sorry argument, will simply slow down the eradication of feminism. As the commenter stated, feminism is culturally pervasive; it can only be eradicated by a cultural movement away from it - the speed with which that will happen partly depends on the reception anti-feminist men give to those men and women who are struggling to see the light.

"One can't expect everyone to have a sudden epiphany about the evils of society; it's a slow process, and patience with the removal of entrenched feminist ideology is absolutely necessary if this is going to be fixed."

You may want to read this in context, HERE.

So, in step with the growing tidal wave of social reaction against feminism and its manifold evils, a growing number of women are awakening and bestirring themselves, looking cautiously about, and beginning to ask serious questions. And many such women are finding their way to the blogs, websites and forums of the men's rights proto-movement. These women are seeking information, and in many cases wishing to be of help in some way -- if only they knew how! At any rate, they are driven by earnest curiosity, and they want to orient themselves. What they seek, finally, is a map with an x-mark next to the words "you are here."

But all too often, what they find is a formidable wall of hair-trigger hostility, bristling vulgarity and sour cynicism. Understandably, plenty of these women haven't got a tough enough hide to "tough it out" until they earn a place of trust, while others are cursed with a knack for saying the worst things in the worst ways in violation of local politesse. Hence, many of them drop out before long, while many more will never pass beyond the larval lurker stage.

Yes. The lack of neophyte-friendly online venues for budding non-feminist revolutionary women is keenly felt, and ought to be remedied one way or another.

Very well. I would like the Counter-Feminist to be such a website. After all, the trend needs to begin somewhere . . . so why not here?

Therefore, I invite non-feminist women of all persuasions to log in as commenters and introduce themselves. Don't be a stranger. You will find a relaxed atmosphere hereabouts, and a complete absence of the scurrility which so often dominates the atmosphere of other men's rights websites. What you will also find is the art of rhetorical discipline skillfully practiced, as a model to others in the movement. But more on that subject later!

Meanwhile, do consider de-lurking. You have come to the right place, so step right up! And spread the word among womenfolk of your acquaintance -- whoever has a curiosity to learn about the non-feminist revolution, the MRM, and all such things. As Trent13 says, you can't expect everybody to have a sudden epiphany, but around here you may, if you wish, get a fine start along that road!

I will leave this post in the top position for several days, and then link to it in the sidebar.
