Ah, the weather is warming up, the coats and sweaters are coming off, outdoor events are being scheduled as people are shaking off the last of the winter cold. Summer is in the air, and it is time for a Slutwalk. That is fine with Dan Perrins, who has plans to attend, and some questions to ask.
During the last two lectures at the University of Toronto hosted by the Canadian Association for Equality, an individual or individuals pulled fire alarms, triggering emergency services and forcing the building to be temporarily evacuated. Dan Perrins reviews the events, the law, and what we will do in the future.
Dan Perrins had the dubious responsibility to report on the latest fashion trend for feminist activists. Dressing up like a vagina and making sure that people can’t say anything they might disagree with. Thanks Danny, we owe you one for the effort.
Yesterday the U.S.House of Representatives passed the Senate version of VAWA giving us another five years of rule by the domestic violence industry. However, the narrative has been successfully challenged.
The suffragettes were champions for the right to vote and indeed for the civil rights of all women, weren’t they? Well, only if you are clueless about their violent and elitist history.
The obvious first place to look is male genital mutilation. Nothing says “I’m afraid of horny men” quite like lopping off most of their erogenous zones and turning them into face cream for rich old white chicks. There are few areas of social concern which so blatantly flaunt sexist double standards upheld by fear of male sexuality quite so clearly as in this instance.
The transition from second to third wave has not made feminism any less hostile or hateful. This was a superficial change, a rhetorical rejigging – the plastering of makeup onto the public face for public consumption. While the feminists of the second wave openly admitted to hating all men, modern day Earnest Feminists recognize certain categories of men who are not deserving of hatred – conjuring up exceptions to more easily maintain the general rule.
However, in the hope that the two of you, Gay and Arjuna, may read this, I will address the rest of this piece to you personally. And I will commence by telling you that the word “faggot,” in this context, when applied to you gentlemen is no comment on your sexuality. No, the usage of “faggot” here is implying that you are weak, ineffectual, sycophantic, approval seeking suck-holes.
As with every movement there are certain values that make up feminism’s core. The beliefs that those who created the movement hold and expect all who join to follow. Almost everyone I know within the MRM knows what the core beliefs of feminism are but this message is not for MRAs. This message is for the average, unaffiliated men and women who happen to read this article. This message is for the good, bad, moderate, radical, anti-this, and pro-that feminists who actually accept that there is misandry within their movement but refuse to believe that misandry is large enough to deserve resistance. Here are the core values of the feminist movement and the irrefutable proof that the hatred of men is not only exclusive to many of the members of the feminist movement but is indeed the very essence and foundation of the movement itself.
We are the ones putting an end to oppressive gender roles. So I suggest that is what we let them know, and that we point out to them exactly why they are nothing more than a continuation of the old paradigm, enforced with shame and bullets.
