Things that make you go, "Hmmm"
By Rod Van Mechelen, June 2014 - Olympia, WA
In this column I pose questions and raise issues. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item, provoke thinking or give you ideas for how to respond to things. Think of them as "sound bite arguments."
-
A woman femsplaining about how men perceive female nudity? How unusual. Not!
-
Feminists believe it is a woman's right to be naked where and when she pleases...except when men might be aroused, then it's obscene!
-
Two college students go to a party with the intention in the back of their minds that tonight they might get "lucky." They both get tipsy drunk, both go home with somebody and both are horrified when they wake up the next morning and see who they slept with. One--a man--is teased for his "coyote ugly" night of debauchery, the other--a woman--is counseled that she has been raped and should file a complaint. It's a sexist double standard that always portrays the man as the aggressor and the woman as a victim.

From the very beginning of the women's suffrage movement the majority of men were either supportive or neutral, and most of the people who opposed it were women. (Most of the men who opposed women's suffrage did so because it was linked to the Temperance Movement. Source: Sex in History) As the prosperity of the west increased women were pulled into higher education and professional life, and it was only a matter of time before women would have achieved parity with men in the academic and commercial world. Marxists saw this as a threat and so followed the Second Wave, whose agenda was most honestly articulated in Shulamith Firestone's brilliant but deeply flawed book, The Dialectic of Sex. From then to the present, the primary goal of feminism is to destroy the family and subordinate the individual to the state. The essence of what feminism claims to be--the dictionary definition--is a lie. Ironically, what feminism falsely claims to be is exemplified in the principles of the Libertarian Party.

"Those who hate the truth, hear only hate when the truth is spoken." - Ben Swann

If most feminists' feminism does not match the dictionary definition of feminism, then is their behavior wrong, or is the definition wrong?
-
What kind of parents strive to undermine their children's success?
-
Any movement that preaches hate and evil stereotypes should be viewed with suspicion and yet for decades the mainstream has embraced feminism, which preaches hate for men and stereotypes men as evil.
-
The Elliot Rodger's Manifesto is so well written that it is questionable whether he actually wrote it.

Only "sensible" blow hards and feminist hate mongers see no difference between misanthropy and misogyny.

Bigots do not seek to understand but only to condemn those who challenge their ideological "truth."

Neither anti-feminists nor men's rights activists celebrate Elliot Rodger as a hero or a martyr.
-
Feminist hate mongers love when a flake like Elliot Rodger rampages so they can wail, "see, men are misogynist monsters!"

I believe in equal political, social, educational and economic freedom and liberty for women--and equality in the eyes of the law--but I do not believe in feminism, nor do I believe that these are the things for which feminism stands.
