The Backlash Begins
In my previous entry, I spoke of the IGAF (anti-feminismus) conference scheduled for 30 October in Zurich, Switzerland. This was given plenty of coverage in the European (or at least Swiss) media, and the enemy has reacted with the speed of a rattlesnake. All right, putting it plainly: threats of violence have been made against the IGAF conference, and the radical left/feminist sector has already engaged in some "takin' it to the streets" action in anticipation of the upcoming event. As a result, the IGAF people have canceled the conference, and re-scheduled it for a secret location. (They have expressed concern for the safety of conference attendees.)
For some reason, the idea that anybody might be opposed to feminism, for any reason at all, is just plain unthinkable to some people. All right, so here is a photo of some anti-anti-feminist artwork being crafted on a public wall in Zurich. The visible words, in German, translate as "against sexism and antifeminists". Notice how the faces have been rendered "illegible":
You would naturally expect such scenes to appear FIRST in continental Europe, and NOT in stodgy old England or anywhere else in the Anglosphere, eh? In the Eurosphere, the pro-male movement is gaining a raw, serious, organized political momentum that we in the Anglosphere (for cultural reasons) haven't got the same capacity to generate. We're all about "don't make a scene", and "don't rock the boat", and all that sort of thing -- which, I grant you, is a good philosophy some of the time!
But here is more to feast your eyes upon. This photo shows more anti-anti-feminist agitprop on the same wall depicted in the first image. The big spray-painted words "lautstark geg[en] antifeministen" translates as "loudly against anti-feminists" -- I guess they are speaking out loudly against the antifeminists; something like that.
The cartoon balloon at right, just below the large words, translates roughly, in part, as: "They want to take us back to the middle ages", and I can pretty easily guess who "they" refers to. The words are depicted as issuing from a fine, manly-looking chap; a house builder. It is of interest to ponder the semiotics here.
Next, we see the sign in front of the location where the conference was originally to have been held. Note that the sign has been defaced with stencilled grafitti. The words translate as "together against sexism -- the anti-feminists must be muzzled." Well, they can start by muzzling ME! No wait, I'm a counter-feminist, not an anti-feminist . . so I guess those words wouldn't apply to me, right? But seriously, doesn't this remind you of all the people we've known on the internet who declare that MRAs ought to shut the hell up? Yes, it flows from the very same psychology!
Along with the words we see the symbol of the radical women's movement. A clenched fist is depicted, and I cannot take that as suggesting anything other than violence, or the threat of it. A fist is a fist is a fist, you know. That the fist is enclosed in the alchemical symbol for "female" does not make it any less of a fist. In the end, it is plausible that the "alchemy" adds up to something like "female violence". . . wouldn't you say? And at the risk of appearing like a simpleton, I would even venture that this smells uncannily like fascism. Or something of the sort.
Now I turn to something different but closely related. As you know, the action under discussion is taking place in Switzerland -- and neutral, mercenary Switzerland is a dramatically different country from Sweden! In Sweden, nobody would be demonstrating against "antifeminists", because in Sweden, nobody would even dare to stick their antifeminist head up in the first place! So there would be no need to demonstrate against it. In Sweden, they'll throw you in jail if you even dare suggest that men belong to the human race. Well all right. . . I exaggerate! But seriously: here is what Ulf Andersson, Swedish father's rights activist, recently shared as a comment. He aims to give us an idea of how bad Swedish feminism is:
So study the feminist regime in Sweden if you want to know what feminism really is under all the rhetoric and all the hype. In Sweden, for whatever reason, the crust is thin and the force of true feminism can more easily break through and ooze around everywhere in the broad light of day -- just as we presently see it doing! Study feminism in Sweden, and at the same time think about the current happenings in Switzerland, and make the connection! It's all feminism and its all the same monolithic substance everywhere -- only the thickness of the disguise is variable.

"Some remarks about Swedish Feminism:Well. Sweden is one of the worst -- if not THE worst -- places on earth for feminism. Now, I have read some "official" descriptions of the Swedish brand of feminism, and the "official" version sounds very, very bland -- like Sweden itself! But that is only the "official" version, the one that is "offically" supposed to exist in theory. Yet we have caught a glimpse of real life. . . haven't we? Feminism is feminism is feminism, so forget about so-called official theories. Feminism is the same cancer the world over, even if it gussies itself up in different threads for different purposes in order to deceive people about its underlying intentions. Below the surface, everywhere, seethes the identical man-hating, female-supremacist core. Everywhere! This is the REAL feminism that will emerge little by little as feminist innovation consolidates its gains and secures its power base. And by the time it all comes out, its power will be so entrenched that it will be nearly impossible to do anything about it, other than to grin-and-bear-it and suck it up!
Sara Stridsberg, who translated The SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas to Swedish, is going to be awarded the big Prize Of Journalism.
"Selected statements made by Swedish feminists:
"1. 'Cut the dick off every man!'
"2. 'Ground all men after 9 PM'
"3. 'A heterosexual nuclear family is always in some respect an Anti-Feminist project. I don´t believe in the family. I want to introduce anti-family politics into the Feminist Initiative'.
"Young Swedish Social Democrats in the city of Växjö, 12.43 miles away from where I live, demonstrated with a banner proclaiming 'Male Slaughter - Female Power'.
"The President for The National Organization for Women Shelters in Sweden, quoted The Scum Manifesto right out on Swedish National Broadcasting (public service television, funded with viewer´s fee every 3rd month) in a documentary - answering the interviewer´s question:
"Interviewer: - All men are animals, and to call a man walking dildo is to flatter him?
The President: - All men are animals.Don´t you think?
"About two or three years later, this former President stated that "men are worse than animals" in a newspaper.
"Ever heard about 'radical' cheerleading?
"A group called Pirata Radical Cheerleaders (or Cheerleading) had a nice rhyme indeed. Sorry about the lousy automatic translation, but it´s a lot to translate at almost 2 AM in Sweden: http://tinyurl.cm/275z2le
"There´s plenty more from where that came from. . . .
"When it comes to Feminism (worldwide) : like Yoda said to young Skywalker in Star Wars: Be afraid - be VERY afraid!"
So study the feminist regime in Sweden if you want to know what feminism really is under all the rhetoric and all the hype. In Sweden, for whatever reason, the crust is thin and the force of true feminism can more easily break through and ooze around everywhere in the broad light of day -- just as we presently see it doing!

In Sweden, chicks make their boyfriends / husbands sit to piss. Talk about emasculating...
"The big spray-painted words "lautstark geg[en] antifeministen" translates as "loudly against anti-feminists" -- I guess they are speaking out loudly against the antifeminists; something like that."
There's an 11 and a D above that sentence... I guess it means 11-Demonstration. "lautstark gegen antifeministen" seems to be the catchphrase of that anti-anti-feminist demonstration
Interesting developments. Although I daresay the best offense against Feminism is not to attack Feminism directly (as is being done here), but to simply advocate equality for men, and let Feminism take the bait. Feminism's relentless opposition to every MRA issue will be prima facie evidence of its inherently evil nature.
@ Gogonostop:
"Although I daresay the best offense against Feminism is not to attack Feminism directly (as is being done here)[....]"
Feminism is being discussed and critized here -
not attacked.
I think that we who are involved
in gender issues about true equality between the genders, conter-feminists and anti-feminists alike, very well know what we are doing.
Of course, we can´t be as bad as the feminists and resort to violence just because we have ran out of arguments.
We will always have better arguments than the feminists.
* General question:
Whom of Fidelbogens blog visitors knew about that the European Feminists want to build Concentration Camps for women
(cities only for women = femcities)?

Gogonostop, I think the best tactic is to pursue both courses of action.
We needn't be scared off by childish antics like this.
The wheels are already turning. There's no stopping it now. If they successfully disrupt this particular conference, there will simply be another one. It would be mighty difficult to stop a group of people from talking about things. That is essentially what these violent thug fascists are trying to do.
Male Studies is happening; international anti-feminist conferences are happening.
Doesn't matter what the opposition does.
The wheels are turning.
Enlightening article.
I thought there would be, and was waiting for it. I didn't figure it would be so bad that they would have to cancel or that they would be dealing with possibly taking physical abuse. At least it is receiving attention though, perhaps it will help flush more MRAs out of the closet.
"But feminists hate women and to the extent they are women–a debatable proposition–they hate themselves."
Loopy Tom is at it again!

"Whom of Fidelbogens blog visitors knew about that the European Feminists want to build Concentration Camps for women

They should do this. As long as no male input of any kind is involved in building or maintaining them, then they can demonstrate to the world how "independent" women are.
Of course, even without reading your link, we know for a fact that men WILL be involved, and if they don't volunteer, they will be FORCED to do it.
My guess is that the reason women won't just establish their own country and be done with this "battle of the sexes" forever is that they CAN'T do it.
Can't build/maintain any houses, can't build/maintain any roads, can't establish/maintain a government,NONE of it. So they'll just piss and moan until a man does it for them and come along later talking about how "superior" they are because they have this female city or country, omitting the fact that they wouldn't have a pot to piss in unless a man lovingly handcrafted said pot.
Even the few great female leaders who existed never established their OWN country (or empire), as many of the great male military leaders of times past did.
I can't believe how silly some ofyou are being. Just because a tiny segment of the feminist movement says outrageous hostile things towards women, you raise a battle cry. That's like saying all christians are extremists because of a few fanatics. Most feminists want equality.
I suspect you are scared witless that women will be as brutal to you as you have been to us. Well, calm down - you're squealing like infants. We're not the same as you. Equal in value but different by far. Take a chill pill and be a real man and quit quaking in your boots and judging the majority of women as being as bad as the minority of men.
There are far more women running charitable organizations around the world to help each other survive in this ugly world than standing on soap boxes trashing men. Go help them if you are a real man. Men were made to help women while they took the burden of being vulnerable bearing children just as women are made to help men do daring things. You should be too busy being useful taking care of the priorities in life alongside your woman to spend time with silly rants that distort reality so you can justify a battle cry (you know many of you do love battle cry - it's more fun than taking care of the basic necessities of life isn't it.)
