A Propaganda Milestone for Our Side
The BBC news magazine has just published an article about the MRA cohort of the non-feminist revolution. The article is titled Just who are men's rights activists? And although I was not entirely pleased with this article, I was mostly pleased. The article might not have been pure gold, but at least the author wrote in that professionally unbiased manner which is said to be the gold standard for journalism as a whole. The tone was even-handed (if boringly so), and free of egregious lies and distortions, and for that we may be thankful. We have risen a notch higher on the scale of public visibility, and we are hovering in the vicinity of mainstream respectability as well.

The Masculinist cohort was also given a mention. And none other than Aoirthoir his own self was interviewed, and even pictured! Kudos!
A side note here: When the Masculinist credo states that "all men are good", it means that maleness in principle is essentially good, in the way that fire or rain are essentially good. So, individual men can still be scumbags -- especially the ones who support feminism!
All right, the BBC article wasn't radical enough. Honestly, it was dull porridge. That was my principal complaint. But then, what can you realistically expect from the BBC? So I won't look this gift horse in the mouth any more than I've done already.
At any rate, the article was a pathbreaker, a harbinger of additional boring publicity to come. All hail boring publicity! I mean, publicity is publicity is publicity, folks. And it's all good, especially if it is not bad publicity.
I'll sign off with one of my pet irritations. Toward the end of the article, we encounter the stylistically clunky phrase "men being discriminated against". This commonly heard construction grates upon my fastidious ear, and I would much rather the elegant phrase "men suffering discrimination" should gain currency.
By the way, any cutting edge journalist who wants to give this men's rights business a gritty and nuanced coverage, is invited to contact my honorable self. See the mail link at upper right.

Hey,at least they didn't go to both Manboobz and Jessica Valenti for their info and then try to claim that they had presented "both sides of the issue".
THE BBC MENTIONED MENS ISSUES?????
WTF???
Wonders Never cease
....and look at all the men posting and affirming
You Fidel and your merry band are having an impact.
FOR THE BETTER
Dare I believe reason is dawning
As a beleaguered man whose very soul feels its been through hell
for decades I am in denial
it must be a mistake..?
Even a quote from Aoirthoir An Broc!
WTF, did someone actually do real reporting? Shocking. Hope this kind of thing catches on.
The author Tom de Castella at least tried to do his job instead of just regurgitating politically correct (read feminist) garbage.
I would have left a comment but they were closed.
I thought that article was good under the circumstances and must have been a brave move on the part of the author. It has been the case in the past that anyone daring to speak against that hate movement would be censured or removed from their position. So from POV, top effort.
Fidel, could you lighten the background as it is difficult to read.
