SAF operates independently of nearly all the labels, categories and constructs which have grown up around the subject of men's rights or anti-feminism over the years. SAF dismantles these historical formulae and rebuilds by using parts of them in combination with novel elements.
SAF does not expunge existing feminist-critical frameworks, but operates around them and alongside of them.
SAF assumes a generically pro-male standpoint, but does not specifically promote men's rights. Rather, SAF makes feminism's wrongs universally known, and works to set corrective forces in motion at all levels of society.
It falls within the SAF mandate to warn men and boys of the hazards they face under the feminist regime, because this exposes the nature of feminism and turns more people against it.
Likewise, it falls within the SAF mandate to treat all men and boys with brotherly kindness and forbearance so far as their individual behaviors allow this. "Blessed are the meek" will serve for a guiding policy.
While sadly acknowledging the squalid truth that feminism is a war against men and a prime enabler of gynocentrism, SAF eschews the androcentric narrative voice (or "male clubhouse" perspective). SAF does not bemoan the male condition from a male standpoint, does not say "look what feminism has done to US MEN". Rather, SAF assumes the ecumenical voice of a Greek chorus: "Look what feminism has done to men, to women, and to the world."
SAF draws no sharp line between feminism, and what is loosely called "traditionalism", but considers these to be aspects of an underlying unity.
SAF does not concern itself with man-woman relationship issues, or unriddling the mysteries which arise in that realm. The personal and the political are treated separately, and the nature of SAF is almost entirely political.
SAF has no time for male-subjective rhetoric touching female behavior in the abstract. Speech that might too easily be construed as "misogynist", is eschewed. This is known as "working with clean hands."
To the accusatory question "what are you doing to help men?" SAF replies, "we are not in the business of helping men, but if you insist, we are helping men by damaging feminism." This will properly situate the conversation, so that SAF can get on with its work.
SAF is, to put it simply, the agitation section of the non-feminist revolution.
SAF adamantly opposes any tendency to exonerate feminism or to whitewash feminism in the record of history.
SAF defines the struggle against feminism chiefly as a struggle to sway hearts and minds in the theatre of propaganda or public rhetoric. SAF takes this as its principal zone of operation.
By propaganda is meant propagated information of any sort, spread by design, either publicly or privately, for calculated effect.
By public rhetoric is meant communication known to broad masses of people, whether by design or by accident.
In all propaganda or public rhetoric, SAF strives for a signal differentiation that will carry its message unmistakably, to avoid confusion with superficially similar messages. This is known as separating the signal from the noise.
SAF is not a group of human operators, but a group of ideas which propagate through human operations. No person or group of people literally "is" SAF. Being merely a political tendency, SAF is in no sense an entity with collective accountability.
As an ideoplex or memeplex, SAF fluidly ignores and overspreads the boundaries of recognized human communities. In so doing, it redraws the cultural map and redefines the terrain of battle.
As a political force, SAF operates both "on-stage" (visibly or publicly) and "off-stage" (invisibly or privately). The on-stage part is for the purpose of shaping cultural discourse. The off-stage part is for the same purpose, and for the additional purpose of networking, garnering resources, and orchestrating plans across multiple sectors.
Anything that might compromise feminism in any way, either directly or indirectly, is of interest to SAF.
SAF practice is grounded in several key principles, listed and described below:
~Non-violence: Physical force, bodily harm, or threat of bodily harm, are strictly proscribed and not condoned. Extreme cases of physical self-defense would offer the only exception to this rule.
~Non-feminist autonomy: Non-adherence to feminism is a bedrock principle and a fundamental right. People who "say no" to feminism, may operate as an autonomous cultural power, distinct from the feminist power. Separate linguistic conventions will emerge, as will a system of diplomatic protocol.
~Rhetorical Discipline: The art of discreet and politic speech, a sense of when to follow the rules and when to break them, shall be cultivated.
~Counter-aggression: The maxim is, that the aggressor sets the terms of engagement. Feminism has been the initiating and primary aggressor in the present conflict, and has set the terms accordingly. Feminist aggression may be met with proportional and analogous counter-aggression.
~Distributed resistance: Resistance to feminism, in its many aspects, will take a distributed form. Resistance will occur at many node points, in many cultural theatres of operation, under the guidance of local expertise. A philosophical mandate will provide over-arching unity, but there will be no central leadership. Innovation shall be ongoing, with new forms continually emerging.
~Culture of Critique: The resistance will crystallize into a counter-culture, existing alongside of the established feminist culture, and gradually replacing it as it disintegrates. This counter-culture shall be marked by a critique of feminism at every level of sophistication.
