A Report From the "First International"

The historic first international antifeminist meeting of the Interessengemeinschaft Antifeminismus (Anti-feminist Interest Group, or IGAF) was held yesterday, 30 October, 2010, in Switzerland. Below, I link you to an article, by a certain 'Lieutenant Dino', which briefly sums up the overall events of the day -- although it doesn't get much into what the speakers talked about, or the least bit (obviously) into what the attendees chatted about during their 'getting to know you' breakaway sessions!

But I am happy to report that the drunken translator effect is not so bad in this particular piece; it actually reads quite smoothly and easily. And I do recommend reading it; it is informative:

What impresses me about this event is how much it radiates. . . well. . . for want of a better word . . . patriarchy! I do not get the impression that this was a pack of obscure, rag-tag revolutionaries who wandered in from the street. All right, what I'm driving at, is that this looks to be an organization of well-heeled, well-connected people with some position in society, who are so-situated that they can get the game rolling on a fairly high level. So. . this bears watching!

In the photo at right, to the left, we see René Kuhn -- the founder of the IGAF antifeminist group -- so I reckon that is what an anti-feminist looks like, eh? He doesn't look a bit like me: not hairy enough, by quite a stretch! ;) He is said to be an eloquent speaker. To the right, René's wife, Oxana. In the middle, a modified celebrity. Somebody has an arcane sense of humor, perhaps?

You know what? The expression "men's movement" is a misnomer, because there is no men's movement (singular), but rather an indefinite yet growing number of men's movements (plural). I have, of course, long known this -- and I like to call the sum total of it all a fermentation. And this . . . fermentation: it is contained within a sociopolitical and cultural space called the non-feminist sector. I would call that an efficient political worldview, a paradigm that will help greatly to set future endeavors on an efficient footing.
