Sit, Hugo, sit, there's a good boy..

Life is just full of disappointments apparently, especially for the feminist movement as well as their very own equivalent version of "Ladies in Waiting", so are male feminists to that female movement. Even after they have been roundly and succinctly told that their services are no longer required, not politely asked to be excused. But soundly informed that they should all just f*** off and hit the road.

They perservere..

But just like any obedient puppy with it's eyes all round, whining and needy, will refuse to leave the master who feeds it, so are they fixated to their self deluded paucity. It really is a sad and pitiful sight. We should really pass the hat around and sent them all some sympathy cards as they would be not be feeling too great about themselves at the moment. They should make themselves available to the public as a carnival act, so the public could personally witness their petty, needy and embarrassing behaviour, they may even collect the odd coin or two in the process. Hey, it's a money spinner, don't knock it..

The other issue that has perplexed the feminist movement and in particular, the male feminists, has been how to go about destroying the free speech enjoyed by the Men's Movement, it's steady and ever increasing growth. They are determined to destroy that any way they can. Their efforts have unfortunately been so pathetic that I am tempted to make a few suggestions but I will refrain. The one single suggestion, were I to make one, would be for them to start actually telling the truth, now there would be a change and then people could determine for themselves, whether or not to take any notice of them or just write them off as another version the "Occupy Everything" crowd. Who demonstrated only one thing and that was, that the world owed them a living. Male feminists are of the same mindset, they honestly believe that the Female Feminist Organisation actually owes them a living..

It is truly sad..

One of the ongoing attacks they have orchestrated apart from that obvious effort in the recent past by the "Good Men Project", which died a quite death for the hate mongers when one male, one of the site owners, actually wondered out load, why male bashing was such a fundamental right of feminists to automatically undertake. Well, that just won't do. Disgraced Hugo "shag 'em silly" or "I am here for the sluts" Schwyzer and also lunatic left winger, Amanda "All men are bastards and rapists" Marcotte, had an attack of the vapours and smelling salts were just not strong enough to kick any sense into them, so they huffed off..

 We now have their latest efforts and one that once again demonstrates, their clear and obvious desperation, as one could almost imagine them banging their heads against some wall, trying to induce a thought, a new method of attack. One they have not already ruined in the past. No success though. So it's back to the usual finger pointing, vapid accusations they are so amateurish at but persevere with, any open discussion or debate is just not any part of their strategy, they are more into snide, irrelevance and vitriol rather than facts, honest debate and any sincere efforts at coming to any understanding..

More from Paul Elam at AVfM on the subject below..

While I think of it. I am also disappointed at missing out on being on that list. It just isn't cricket..

An open letter to Richard Cohen of the SPLC

Re: Identification of A Voice For Men as a Misogynist Web Site
 
Dear Mr. Cohen,
Yesterday I received the unfortunate news that your organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center (“SPLC”) listed my website, avoiceformen.com, among others, as misogynistic, or “woman-hating.” This description is found in “Intelligence Report, Spring 2012, Issue Number: 145,” on your website at http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2012/spring/misogyny-the-sites.
Specifically, your report states the following:
A Voice for Men is essentially a mouthpiece for its editor, Paul Elam, who proposes to “expose misandry [hatred of men] on all levels in our culture.” Elam tosses down the gauntlet in his mission statement: “AVfM regards feminists, manginas [a derisive term for weak men], white knights [a similar derisive term, for males who identify as feminists] and other agents of misandry as a social malignancy. We do not consider them well intentioned or honest agents for their purported goals and extend to them no more courtesy or consideration than we would clansmen [sic], skinheads, neo Nazis or other purveyors of hate.” Register-Her.com, an affiliated website that vilifies women by name who have made supposedly false rape allegations (among other crimes against masculinity), is one of Elam’s signature “anti-hate” efforts. “Why are these women not in prison?” the site asks.
The excerpts you have chosen from these sites are taken out of context and misrepresent the goals of A Voice For Men (“AVfM”) and Register-Her.  Contrary to what readers of your site may be led to believe, the goals of SPLC and AVfM are quite similar: We both work to identify groups who seek to oppress others, and inform the public of the inequities they would perpetuate.  If you would allow me to do so, I would like to clear up some misconceptions about AVfM so that SPLC and its supporters can reconsider their view of my service.
A Voice for Men has more than 90 registered contributors.  Similar to the supporters of SPLC, AVfM’s contributors are male and female, Black, White, Hispanic and Asian; gay and straight; Jew, Atheist and Christian; from all points of the political spectrum; and they all hail from many different nations across the planet. We invite even more diversity. All of our contributors share a common interest and concern in the affairs of men and boys. They speak to the issues autonomously – not as a mouthpiece for the editor.  I regularly find AVfM publishing content I do not wholly agree with, or stated in terms that I personally would not necessarily use.  However, it is not my role to impose a uniform voice upon AVfM’s contributors – my role is to ensure that the site furthers its purpose of speaking truth to power.
The work of AVfM is vital and, despite what you may think, not dissimilar from the goals and aims of the SPLC.  The beneficiaries of SPLC’s labors are more likely than not to be men.  Men and boys face very serious problems in modern society.  Men are more likely than women to be homeless, on society’s bottom rungs.[1]  Men are more likely than women to commit suicide, as well.[2]  America’s exploding prison population, which overwhelmingly includes and victimizes the working class and new poor, contains more than 2 million people, but under 100,000 women.[3]  This disparity has had profound effects on African-American men, as more of them are incarcerated than in post-secondary education.[4]  Young men, ignorant rather than criminal, are placed on lifelong sex offender registries that prevent them from obtaining education and even healthcare, and ensuring that they will never contribute to society.[5]  Relatedly, male attendance in higher education has fallen to 40% and continues to diminish,[6] and men lag far behind women in obtaining advanced degrees.[7] The performance of boys in our grade, middle and high schools is deteriorating.  Meanwhile, men have become a minority in the workforce, ensuring their further social and economic marginalization, as well as any hope of upward economic mobility.[8]
Men face additional disparities in selective service, reproductive rights, healthcare funding, and many other areas.  These differences are documented and undeniable.  While society once rallied around the right of a woman to control whether she has a child – an the economic consequences it carries – there is no concomitant outcry to ensure men are not laden with the lifelong obligation of another human being.  While the NFL is awash with pink every October to raise awareness for breast cancer, nary a mention is made of its equally lethal male-only cousin, prostate cancer.[9]  The examples are endless.  These are problems that must be addressed in a just society. Sadly, until now, it would seem to have been in the purview of SPLC to help ameliorate these problems, not aggravate them.
I also believe you may have misunderstood some of AVfM’s semantics.  A “white knight” is an expression describing a traditional male, one who practices chivalry to a degree that is irrational and demeaning in this day and age. Also, the term “mangina” is not a euphemism for “weak men,” but rather a label for men who enable and excuse female misconduct – ranging from physical violence to exculpatory false reporting of crimes[10] – solely because the offender is female (and to gain women’s approval).
Regarding Register-Her.com, SPLC states the following:
“Register-Her.com, an affiliated website that vilifies women by name who have made supposedly false rape allegations (among other crimes against masculinity), is one of Elam’s signature ‘anti-hate’ efforts.”
To the contrary, all of the offenders on Register-Her.com who have been placed there for making false allegations have either 1) had the falsity of their claims proven in a court of law, or 2) publicly recanted their false police reports.  All of these actions are a part of public record. There is nothing “supposed” about these false rape accusations.
Curiously, though, SPLC has not taken any sort of stand on websites like RadFemHub.com, which openly advocates the extermination of males (including male infants), eugenics and sex-specific child abuse.  Perhaps these outlets may warrant further examination, and treatment from the SPLC as sources of Misandry.
The movement for civil and socioeconomic equality in America was and is difficult, and spans both racial and class lines.  For many years the majority resisted progress, but found that nothing could stem the human desire for civil liberty; Not slavery, not Jim Crow, not water cannons or batons or even bullets.  While the SPLC has done good work for the cause of equality across incomes and races, it was not lawyers and arms-length activists that took the brunt of standing up to an unjust system.  It was the men and women on the street that would not be bullied any more that forced the world to change. That world was as hostilely indifferent to the struggles of African-Americans as you appear to be to the struggles of men and boys.
There are hundreds of websites dedicated to real, actual hate on the Internet, with more springing up all the time.  AVFM, a human rights organization, is not one of them.  Nor are the others that you identify as sources of misogyny, such as The Spearhead and the False Rape Society.  Those who fear truth, and brand it as hatred and bigotry, hide behind the worst kind of cowardice – the sniveling complacency that for generations allowed the rich to starve the poor, for one person to own another because of the color of their skin, and for the officers at Nuremberg to claim they were “just following orders.”  For men and boys, there is no more time for complacency.
It is no surprise that a movement like AVfM’s began on the internet, as the free flow of information finally made it possible for men to see what they had long suspected: The laws and norms of society had turned against them. This movement will grow, as it has since its inception, and the time will come when the SPLC (and other groups) must admit our fundamental similarities and aspirations.  I am inviting you, with open arms, to do just that.
The alternative, I fear, is that you come down on the wrong side of history, with the likes of Dred Scott as your legacy.
Sincerely,
 
Paul Elam

Is that Taunting ?


There are still a few things that gladdens my little heart and that is the sacrificial offering feminists make of their own, hoisting themselves on their own petards..

The self-immolation of Schwyzer and Marcotte is a sheer pleasure to watch. As some may already know, the GMP (Good Men Project, a feminist enabler site) appears to have come to the realisation that feminism is up against the wall and disappearing faster than this morning's fog, they need to introduce an attitude shift if they want to survive the steamrolling affect the MM has finally engineered, constructed and is currently steering in their (Feminist) direction. Anyone who does not see that obvious state, does not deserve to survive..

I for one have demonstrated what Hugo Schwyzer was and is all about, over many years. Here is a pretend feminist of the worst example, one who not only claims to be a speaker on feminist issues but also claims to have some magic formula for turning men into the pathetic example of himself. A confused, self loathing male who pedestallises women, solely to serve his need for their affirmation. This pathetic example has already confessed to behaviour that most would be jailed for and rightly so. But here he is, serving as a "Women's Studies" professor at Pasadena City College, allowed and permitted to carry out his own claims of bedding young students and steering hapless males into his own theoretical hell by claiming it has some relevance to their lives. The entire episode is way past sickening and the long term consequences of his interferences will be a long time coming..

People like Schwyzer should be locked away, treated and helped, not given a position as a lecturer in an establishment that affect young adult minds..

Here is one example of his fetishes -

He Wants to Jizz on Your Face, but Not Why You Think

The article is just another example of self promotion and staying the course with usual rabid use of feminist terminology while trying to infuse some level of indifference on a topic that he apparently prefers to raise. Most of the male feminists, are a gaping example on how the psychology industry reqiures some major reconstruction in order to recognise obvious conditions applicable to their field of interest..

Here are the examples of the hand-wringing and angst levels that Hugo has probably deliberately instigated..
xuananigans:
As a feminist who is a friend of Hugo Schwyzer’s, I’m very disheartened to see that there are self-identified feminists who would take such a reactionary stance against Hugo without looking at his words, actions, roles, and past in context. It’s a disappointing moment in history when we as a movement attempt to expel our best members based on quotes and accusations carefully culled to be as misleading and inflammatory as possible, simply because someone doesn’t fit the mold of being the perfect feminist with an always do-gooder past and the right demographic background.
 The problem some people have is, they are incapable of actually seeing what "looking at his words, actions, roles, and past in context" actually means. Those hazy, rose coloured, femi-tinted, glasses will have that affect..
STFU Sexists - As a feminist who does not have a personal relationship with Hugo Schwyzer, allow me to completely insincerely and disingenuously apologize for making you disheartened when I and my own feminist friends spoke out about our discomfort for having this man as the mouthpiece of feminism.
If, at any point, any of my close personal friends starts a fairly lucrative career based upon saying the same things that women have been saying for decades while relating it back to how it affects his white male self — and it comes to light that he totes tried to murder someone but it’s all okay now!!! — feel free to not take my friend’s miraculous transformation at face value.
It really is a laugh a minute. But I am sure a lot more commentary will follow as they fanny back and forth, trying to justify their own preconceived ideas without actually facing the reality of it, at all..

Feminists Against Hugo Schwyzer.

Marcotte Later, now there's a topic..


Picture of Amanda Marcotte

Profile

Amanda Marcotte blogs every day at Pandagon.net, and contributes a weekly podcast to RH Reality Check. She lives in Austin, TX with her two cats, boyfriend, and environmentally correct commuter bicycle
To be honest I was always of the opinion that Marcotte was a lesbian. I kid you not. What level of mangina would you have to be to be attached to a female or in this case a snarky, self righteous, male hating, feminist who spends the entire day downgrading, abusing and humiliating all men and boys and in her hypocritical way, claim to be actually applying a  tourniquet of unreality on what is obviously the neck of integrity, honesty and dignity..

Marcotte even tried it's hand at making recommendation to men on how they should behave in relationships (akin to asking a cobra to care for your pet mice) amongst other hopelessly blinkered advice that would have been as useful as a " how to survive a kidney stone" when a tornado is headed in your direction. Marcotte's passion for the ridiculous and practiced  innuendo were exposed for what it really is. A load of supercilious crap that only a moron would swallow. To use that kind of advice, it would have been simpler to just hand over a whip, take off your shirt and take it like a man because that was exactly where it was heading. She will tell you what to do and assumes that it is not only totally sufficient and correct but has the temerity to bask in it's candlelit ambience although it did only try that type of advice once as far as I am aware as most who read that inane drivel are still smirking, getting over their splitting side aches and muscle strain..

This spiteful narcissistic individual is another one of the proud authors on the "good men project" and that should indicate precisely where the GMP alliances lie. Just another example of another capitulating fake site paying abeyance to feminism. Their where every word has to be authorised by Ms.Magazine as they are their main supporters if not the owners of that wimp infested site..

Marcotte also jumped onto the Testosterone Wagon and as usual, gets it wrong, what a surprise. A female telling men what to do with their sex live is bad enough but when she wandered into relationships it was completely out of it's depth for obvious reasons..

Marcotte concludes:

For men who, whether it’s because they’re married or they aren’t high performers with the ladies, don’t get to be in the game and seriously resent it, these theories might have a lot of emotional power that is clogging up their ability to be rational. Link to HUS..
Marcotte likes nothing more than throwing in strawman argument so she presents an opportunity to rant and rage in her usual fashion to once again demonstrate and remove all doubt that she was hiding in the corner when the reality gene was being handed out..

So we have - married men, high performers, game, resent, theories, emotional, power, clogging,  ability and rational. See what I mean about taking any and every opportunity to downgrade and humiliate men whenever it raises a finger on the keyboard. Now going by her remarks in relation to testosterone which is the topic of discussion but as far as Marcotte is concerned, you may as well be holidaying on the moon before she will even bother mentioning what the original topic is about, so far has she drifted out of context..

So what does Testosterone actually do, obviously not what feminists have been lying about..


Functions of testosterone
The major androgenic hormone is testosterone. Some of the functions of testosterone in the male body include:
  • Starting and completing the process of puberty
  • Bone and muscle development
  • Growth of body hair, including beard
  • Change of vocal cords to produce the male voice
  • Sexual drive (libido) and sexual function
  • Prostate gland growth and function
  • Sperm production. Link to Androgen..
Now what is the point of all this, where does the "violence" gene or affect that feminists have been lying about for so long, all and sundry ignorantly see it as such. Why have they maligned testosterone when both sexes cannot basically live a normal life without it..    
A girl's hormone too
Testosterone is also well known for its role in the hormonal hotbed that is male puberty. It promotes the growth of the reproductive tract, increases in the length and diameter of the penis, development of the prostate and scrotum, and the sprouting of pubic and facial hair.
As well as these androgenic, or masculinising effects, testosterone also drives anabolic, or tissue-building, changes. These include thickening of the vocal chords, growth spurts, development of sexual libido, and an increase in strength and muscle bulk.There's no denying these powerful physical effects which continue well into adulthood, and their driving force, hormones. But we feel compelled to box our hormones resolutely into those that belong to men, or to women.
Estrogen and progesterone are the so-called female sex hormones, and testosterone, the so-called primary male sex hormone. With that we assign our hormones impossible gender roles. But of course gender ain't that simple, and nor are our hormones.It turns out men and women produce exactly the same hormones, only in different amounts.
Men's bodies generate more than twenty times more testosterone than women, an average of seven milligrams per day. Women, via mainly their ovaries and adrenal glands, make a tiny three tenths of one milligram of testosterone per day (1). But it may come as a surprise to know that women's ovaries primarily produce testosterone, from which estrogen is then made. This ovarian production accounts for one-quarter of the total circulating testosterone in a woman's body.
Conversely, men's bodies produce their own all-womanly estrogen, converted by their tissues from their all-manly testosterone.Psychiatrist Dr Susan Rako, believes testosterone is as much a woman's sex hormone as it is a man's. She argues that the "amount of testosterone, tiny as it is, that a woman's body is continually producing is an essential amount." Rako's book, provocatively titled, The Hormone of Desire, is one of a growing wave of publications about the importance of androgens like testosterone to women's health. In calling it the hormone of desire, Rako maintains "testosterone is the hormone most critically implicated in the maintenance of libido, or sexual desire, in women just as it is men".

One could imagine those feminists sitting in their mother's cellar, whispering to each other, wondering what they could do to malign all men and boys and raise the "woman's downgraded image" and imply that all men are so inferior because they possess a certain hormone, in their opinion should be maligned as being the main problem women face because it causes all the "women are victims" situations but failed to study the fact that women carry that same androgens and without it they would end up to be just like them..
