Do we have to tolerate this feminist once again ?
July 9th, 2006 at 7:12 am
I see feminist influence in just about everything, but I don’t see any feminism in that article. In fact, I see anti-femnism. To wit:
1. It mentions the simple obvious basic fact that boys are different from girls regarding interests if not ability. The only time feminists acknowledge differences are when it comes to having or not having fundamental rights or “choice”.
2. It mentions that boys are being shortchanged in education. A true feminist would not admit than even if education became a female exclusive domain, and boys were instead sent off to feminist indoctrination camps and taught how they are just rapists and abusers.
3. Albeit briefly, it casts fathers in a positive light. Anybody who admits that children need fathers speaks in opposition to feminism.
The powers-that-be at Fox News are well aware of not just how ridiculous but how toxic and harmful to children feminism has become, but seem more concerned with being political correct than reporting the truth, except for Wendy. I would certainly welcome Wendy replacing any of the bevy of feminists they trot out every night, such as Susan Estrich, Gloria Allred, that “Democratic Stategist” (can’t recall her name) who believes the Duke LaCrosse players should be prosecuted for rape just for hiring a stripper, whether it happened or not, and of course, Greta, always on the trail of any misfortune befalling attractive white females and promoting feminist jurisprudence at every opportunity.

Anyone who thinks Wendy McE;roy is a PC feminist has not read any of her work.
If more women were exposed to her writings our culture would be far more recognizable to those of us who grew up prior to the ’70s, (in the Dangerous World of Boys), than it is now.
Sample some of her work at her iFeminist.com site, and you will find only precepts with which any masculinist can agree, as well as fine thinking presented in a cogent and readable writing style.
‘iFeminist’ means a feminist independent in every way of the PC/pomo/lez/green/PETA/race-baiting man-, God-, family-, America-hating bitches who now rule all gender relations in media, academia, and government.
BTW, when my 20+ year marriage, and family of 5 children, was destroyed by a woman who used to be my wife until she took college classes in her late 30s, I spontaneously emailed Wendy McElroy and cried on her shoulder.
Her response was immediate, and thoughtful in content, as well as kind in tone.
So: you want a piece of that little lady, you gotta go through this 260 lb, 6′4″, former cop, first.

Fox News is slipping more into the feminazi category every day. When I watch Fox News I see a bunch of women gathered together mocking men. That is all Fox News is. When the Duke Lacross Team was accused of raping a prostitute, Fox News’ feminazis were first on the scene in their anti-male bashing.
Any woman who seeks to control or regulate the debate of men’s issues is a feminazi. McElroy is no different. She is just part of the second wave of predators that prey upon the misfortune of men and make a living from it. You don’t see any men making a living advancing the feminazi movement. You don’t see a man at the helm of NOW or the other wacko feminazi groups.
American vagina ideology operatives have seized totalitarian control over the United States and these women want control over every aspect of every social issue in the country and total control over the public debate. That is because feminism is communism and totalitarian.
You can’t even turn your radio on anymore without some feminazi chick pushing feminazism. There is some radio program that runs every single night nationally on the radio where chicks call in and whine about their personal lives and social problems. What man wants to hear that BS?

[So: you want a piece of that little lady, you gotta go through this 260 lb, 6′4″, former cop, first.]
When you were a cop, all of those domestic violence calls that you responded to and later joked about with your buddies back at the station were nothing more than the advancement of the same agenda that dismantled your own marriage. I guess that it may be better for you, however, since McElroy “felt your pain” though, huh. Now you are a fan? That’s your choice.
Know this. The fact that police officers spend 80% of their time directed to so-called domestic violence calls should give everyone cause for concern. Police officers should not be spending any time at the residences of citizens that are not comitting traditional crimes. The recent legally defined crimes of domestic violence are nefarious police state activity. They are tools that allow police forces to become involved in external families, a critical function of all the worst police states in history.
I wonder if you even recognized it. You see, when you put on your uniform, to the feminazis you were nothing more than an errand boy for them. Every time you took away a man from his home for some false domestic violence claim by his wife or girlfriend, you were the key enforcer to the destruction of that man’s marriage. Since the system didn’t trust you with your police powers, they made laws that forced you to arrest someone at any domestic violence call. That is how the system used men like you to destroy other men, your fellow citizens.
Police officers like you are drawn from the people. You aren’t part of some special species inserted into America when you don the uniform. You come from the same stew that the rest of us come from. There is no “us vs. them”, but the feminists think there is.
There are plenty of “kind sounding” feminists out there that are trying to destroy the men’s rights movement. If goverment paid you $billions per year in legislation like the VAWA to openly discriminate against men, and if government gave you a license to steal in family courts in exchange for the feminist majority vote (women are the vast majority in the USA), wouldn’t you be nice when some victimized male contacted you looking for a shoulder to cry on?
Your wife didn’t learn her family-destroying skills in college. She learned them from feminism which saturates every aspect of American life. She learned them from the American matriarchal totalitarian police state.

It’s not right to have a woman speak for men, yet the popular media thinks it works. Yet I am grateful for some of her articles.
When will this media allow men to promote and lead father and men’s rights?

Though this book’s a bit dated, my son and I have enjoyed it:
The American Boy’s Handy Book: What to do and How to do it
Thought I’ve not read Dangerous yet, it sounds somewhat the same.

Mruffolo – I agree that it’s not right to have women speaking for men, but I’ve found through a number of local political activities that (right now anyway) it’s more effective to have a woman speaking for us.
Since women are in the power position societally and politically, having a woman champion our causes is extremely powerful.
When we attempted to put a male face on things, we were just labeled ‘mad dads’ and ‘deadbeat dads’ – which made it simple for our opposition to just dismiss us with a simple scoff. They couldn’t do the same brushoff with a well-spoken woman, though.
I for one often find myself appreciateing Wendy’s positions and thankful for her support.
