And until western societies open their eyes and start seeing reality, instead of continuing to believe what they are told, we will continue to see women's violence as what it is not--excusable, justifiable, less harmful, a righteous rebellion against tyranny, and a reaching upward for empowerment--rather than what it actually is.<br /><br />And until we, as a society, come to terms with this divergence between what we have been told to believe, and what is actually real, we will continue to enable, excuse and even reward female violence, and sweep all those inconvenient male victims who challenge our ideas of what society actually looks like, under the carpet where we don't have to see them, or worse, recast them as abusers themselves--a whole underclass of people whose crime was bruising women's knuckles with their faces. "<br /><br />WOW !!!! But unfortunately I think most people accept the very opposite as the gospel truth. What's astounding is that there are many men among them.<br />This 'enslavement of women by the Patriarchy' myth is primarily the creation of white,privileged women who had too much leisure time and the inevitable boredom that filled their lives. curious2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/12622953456266361125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-67646547436642038762012-09-25T09:59:59.761-07:002012-09-25T09:59:59.761-07:00The whole article was amazing, and I loved it.

Thank you. <br /><br />In particular, though, it was the last line of it that really made me cheer, since I have actually, literally been put in handcuffs because my (now ex-)wife broke her hand punching me in the face. There were no injuries that had not been caused by her striking me, I did not so much as duck my head or raise a hand to block the blows. I took it until she injured her hand, and then she called the police to come beat me some more.<br /><br />This is a real thing. It has real victims. My case is not unique, and is not that uncommon. Thank you for helping to stand up for me and others.spamfreeradiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460865425155886757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-13046991952433609912012-08-16T09:48:51.479-07:002012-08-16T09:48:51.479-07:00Brilliant article, as always.
That video and the...Brilliant article, as always. <br /><br />That video and the half-assed apology that followed, and the reaction of women everywhere on internet (I'm not from North America so that's probably why I never had to witness a reaction in real life) make me physically sick.<br />I even read a woman saying she couldn't relate because she didn't have a penis, and of course men would react more. <br />I don't have breasts but I can imagine and cringe at the thought of a woman having hers severed, and find that horrifying.<br /><br />I try to tell myself that this was one woman lacking empathy and not a trait of all women. I try to tell myself that despite being something of a representative sample, the audience in that talk show does not represent all women.<br /><br />But it's freaking hard to do so, it's hard to fight the feelings of mistrust that are creeping in my daily life interaction. <br />Reading women like GWW and the few women who stand up against this kind of reactions gives me some hope for man-woman relationships in general, and those in my life as well.<br /><br />A big round of applause for you, GWW.Multiversehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663925499018625686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-31859585502588207132012-06-20T12:11:55.318-07:002012-06-20T12:11:55.318-07:00Scary to think that daytime TV like the one cited ...Scary to think that daytime TV like the one cited on the article, are the 'realities' of stay-at-home women. I'd love to believe that the viewers of these shows are mindless dolts with no chance at influencing or shaping society. BUT they are the mothers and wives of western culture. This makes it all the more insanely irresponsible and an egregious fault on behalf of those in charge of airing such morally destructive nonsense. It makes me want to puke. <br /><br />But, the article is remarkable. Both one of a kind, and brilliant.

Everything I would bother to say on the subject (and put so much more articulately than I could ever hope to manage) if I didn't know for fact that, out of my mouth, its substance would be ignored and I'd be drowned out by a mocking chorus of "OH NOES! WHAT ABOUT TEH MEN!?" and chalked up as just another example of a privileged man mansplaining, another vindication of the idea that "the job's not done; we must redouble our efforts!".<br /><br />Thank you.nothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959485857309979117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-39514125525139584722012-01-28T16:47:29.879-08:002012-01-28T16:47:29.879-08:00Great article!

How women can be totally insensitive to abuse and mutilation heaped unto men. And still feel justified. And how they think that the slightest alleged offense by a man (request divorce) is reason enough to take justified actions like cutting off his dick.Human-Stupidity.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415167814446085472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-71471975899521336482012-01-22T12:31:57.254-08:002012-01-22T12:31:57.254-08:00Good post.

This philosophy ...Awesome....just fucking awesome.<br /><br /><i>This philosophy is what leads many feminists--from academics to manboobz--to characterize MRAs' attempts to bring domestic and sexual violence against males into the public eye (and the governments' budgets) as "zero-sum thinking", anti-feminist, misogynistic, and an agenda to dismantle existing protections for women. It is this view of oppressor (male) and oppressed (female) that views any outreach toward assisting male victims of female violence as a threat to women that borders on violence itself, a heartless revictimization of an "oppressed class".</i><br /><br />This right here is where you won. What I find odd about the accusations that MRAs are engaging in zero sum thinking is that when they respond in that manner at best they are engaging in it as well or at worst they are hypocrits.<br /><br />Impressive ma'am!Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316703490574522868noreply@blogger.com
