By The
recent spate of :feminists shrieking “misogyny!” following the Elliot
Rodger rampage needs to be placed in the right context; i.e., is said
misogyny of one deranged man a cause or a symptom? More specifically, is
it a primary cause or a secondary cause? This is a question medicos ask
all the time, for example, with respect to HIV (as primary cause)
versus opportunistic infections such as pneumonia (secondary cause). The
question of primary versus secondary is also relevant to cancer when
trying to establish the source of the secondary lethal tumours that
metastasize at locations removed from the source.
So is misogyny the source of Rodger’s rampage? Or was his misogyny an expression of a wider, systemic hatred as it manifests in modern society in 2014? Consider the misandry that provides the foundations upon which feminism is built. Misandry is the driving force behind feminism, the purpose of which is to shame men and their achievements – a sentiment extended into schools where boys are taught that they should be ashamed of their manhood and their heroes. We now have a feminist industry, and a revised education system that regards competition (boys) as something nasty that is to be discouraged, versus collaborative, facilitative conformity (girls) as the greater good that is to be encouraged. Instead of celebrating the achievements of great men, feminists prefer to notice only the worst among men and shame boys and men for that. That’s misandry at work.
