Men And Women Are Held To Different Standards #07

When women write about their sex lives online, it's empowering, when men do the same exact thing, it's misogyny, and racism apparently. 6oodfella

Misogyny In The Myth Of Patriarchy

By Douglas Galbi: Le blasme des femmes (The culpability of women) is medieval vernacular literature of men’s sexed protest. It’s scarcely understood or tolerated today. Many persons now believe that men ruling in patriarchy have brutally oppressed their wives, mothers, daughters and all other women throughout history. Belief in patriarchy and men’s brutality toward women has to explain away the literature of men’s sexed protest. 
Why have some men cried out about the abuse, deceptions, and betrayals that they felt men suffer from women?

A man cannot withstand her guile
Once she has picked him for her wile;
Her will to power will prevail,
She vanquishes most any male.
…
Woman lives in constant anger,
Do I even dare harangue her? [1]

Patriarchy myth-makers dismiss men’s sexed protests as misogyny. While ruling over women, exploiting women, and controlling women as their own personal property, men complained bitterly about women simply because men hate women, according to the now dominant mythic view of men. Hate is a word for mobilizing social repression. Calling men’s sexed protest misogyny socially justifies repressing it.

Low Productivity Or Just Twitter Zombies?

The Australian Government Proclaims - Environmentalism And Alternative Music Are Signs Of Terrorism

By Michael Krieger: Earlier this year, I highlighted how the UK government was cheerfully stretching the boundary of terrorist fear-mongering when it made it policy for registered childminders to “report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists.”
No, that’s not a joke. Here’s an excerpt from the post, The War on Toddler Terrorists – Britain Wants to Force Nursery School Teachers to Identify “Extremist” Children: 
Nursery school staff and registered childminders must report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists, under counter-terrorism measures proposed by the Government.

The directive is contained in a 39-page consultation document issued by the Home Office in a bid to bolster its Prevent anti-terrorism plan.
But concern was raised over the practicalities of making it a legal requirement for staff to inform on toddlers.

Clearly not wanting to be outdone when it comes to bureaucratic buffoonery, the Commonwealth of Australia is fighting back.

University Of Toronto, A Feminist 'Faux Victimhood' Campus

Students have proclaimed the University of Toronto (U of T) to be a Feminist Campus, with the blessing and support of the university administration. Professor Janice Fiamengo from the University of Ottawa criticizes the U of T administrator's cowardice and double standards in failing to maintain objectivity and intellectual integrity by bowing to the hysteria of ideological feminists.

Amanda Marcotte Is Determined To Make Me Famous. Yay!

By Janet Bloomfield (aka JudgyBitch): Amanda Marcotte has once again let her fee-fees decide her actions without really thinking them through. 
She wrote an article at Slate about the Marie Claire profile of me and the HoneyBadgers, and she is not happy with Jen Oritz at all. Amanda doesn’t wike me! She doesn’t wike Jen Oritz much either. How dare Jen act like a semi-professional journalist and write something reasonably fair and balanced?!?! That bitch!

Intriguingly, and confusingly for us feminists, once you get past the trolling, there are actual not-crazy changes men’s rights activists (MRAs) want to see: prohibiting circumcision of baby boys, domestic abuse aid for male victims, refining paternity rights,” Ortiz writes. This is the only misfire in an excellent piece. There is no core of good intentions underneath the trolling. They’re not fighting for men’s well-being. That’s just the cover story for the real agenda, which is fighting women’s equality and making it impossible to speak out for women without having to withstand a torrent of abuse. The women’s role is to spew the most vile misogyny, because they can hide behind their gender to deny what’s really going on.

Goddammit, which one of you HoneyBadgers gave Amanda the Super Extra Absolutely Hush-Hush Top Secret Club Rules Book?

There's Nothing Pro-Women About Telling Girls Who Can't Remember The Night Before To Cry Rape

By Belinda Brown: One of the central duties of the Director of Public Prosecutions is to inspire society’s faith in the criminal justice system. But through a number of wayward judgments, current incumbent Alison Saunders is hardly succeeding in that task.

Following the furore sparked by her refusal - subsequently overturned - to bring charges against Labour peer Lord Janner over serious allegations of child abuse, she finds herself embroiled in another row, this time over the incendiary issue of rape.

Treat Meat Eaters Like Smokers, Warns Jeremy Corbyn’s New Radical Feminist Vegan Farming Minister Kerry McCarthy

Via Martin of J4MB: Kerry McCarthy on a collision course with British farmers. From the article:

In an interview with Viva!life, a magazine for vegans, she admitted she was a “militant” when it came to clamping down on meat consumption. 
She said: “I really believe that meat should be treated in exactly the same way as tobacco, with public campaigns to stop people eating it.

By Mike Buchanan: Is Ms McCarthy’s appointment Jeremy Corbyn’s idea of a joke, in common with his appointment of Gloria De Piero, former shadow minister for Women & Equalities, to a position that has never existed before - minister for young people and voter registration - so GDP (twice a winner of our Lying Feminist of the Month award) isn’t actually ‘shadowing’ anyone?

Russia’s False Hopes

'If Russia and Iran let their guard down,
they will be nuked, and so will China.'

By Paul Craig Roberts: Russia so desperately desires to be part of the disreputable and collapsing West that Russia is losing its grip on reality.
Despite hard lesson piled upon hard lesson, Russia cannot give up its hope of being acceptable to the West. The only way Russia can be acceptable to the West is to accept vassal status.
Russia miscalculated that diplomacy could solve the crisis that Washington created in Ukraine and placed its hopes on the Minsk Agreement, which has no Western support whatsoever, neither in Kiev nor in Washington, London, and NATO.
Russia can end the Ukraine crisis by simply accepting the requests of the former Russian territories to reunite with Russia. Once the breakaway republics are again part of Russia, the crisis is over. Ukraine is not going to attack Russia.
Russia doesn’t end the crisis, because Russia thinks it would be provocative and upset Europe. Actually, that is what Russia needs to do—upset Europe. Russia needs to make Europe aware that being Washington’s tool against Russia is risky and has costs for Europe.
Instead, Russia shields Europe from the costs that Washington imposes on Europe and imposes little cost on Europe for acting against Russia in Washington’s interest. Russia still supplies its declared enemies, whose air forces fly provocative flights along Russia’s borders, with the energy to put their war planes into the air.
