Kim Gandy @ NOW Wants Your Input!

The National Organization for Women is majorly concerned about how the mass media is obstructing your aherence to radical feminist ideology. So they have posted a web-site survey to solicit your compliance with their views –

NOW asks -

“Tell us what trends in media and popular culture create the biggest challenge to raising feminist/progressive kids in our media-saturated, pop-culture fixated society:

(Each question requires a ranking of Extremely Challenging > Moderately Challenging > Mildly Challenging > Not a Problem > Not applicable or not sure) –

* Marketing of separate “girls’ toys” and “boys’ toys”
* Toys that promote violence
* Video games that promote violence and negative stereotypes
* Sex-stereotypes in kids’ TV programs and movies
* Lack of racial and ethnic diversity in kids’ TV programs and movies
* Violence in kids’ TV programs and movies
* Music lyrics and music videos that promote negative stereotypes and violence
* Marketing of unrealistic beauty standards through fashion magazines and the beauty/diet industry
* Media’s sexualization of young female performers/celebrities
* Media’s failure to promote more strong role models for girls in sports and other male-dominated arenas
* Sexist, exploitative content and/or potential predators on the Internet
* Not enough kids’ books with feminist/progressive messages and diverse characters
* Media and popular culture’s focus on money and consumerism
* Increased presence of advertising in media, at school and other public spaces

There are no questions about mens’ or boys’ experiences of the impact of misandry in the media, but you can register your opinions at –

    OH that ws a nice survey.

    I stated that none of the things they were concerned about were a problem and gave these notes:

    The fact that Feminism destroys families so no additional children are born to be inculcated, aborts others, and men are terrified of marriage. Media promotes pedistalism of Women and makes boys worship them to give them full control. Things are going excellently for you aren’t they?

    Boys are complete clowns in the media and schools have well sedated their activity while destroying the creative and curious portions of their brains. Things must be great for you ladies.

    Your efforts to completely denigrate the value of fatherhood and Fathers is completely successful. Pop open the Champagne!

    I clicked onto the survey and was told that I had already completed it.! Astonishing. Perhaps I did it while asleep or there is someone out there pretending to be a thick old curmudgeon. I hope my answers were as well thought out as yours Thurston – and a touche more acerbic.

    NOW had it wrong about pay (See Farrell “Why Men Earn More”) and wrong about which gender wasn’t doing well in public schools (80′s and 90′s See Judith Klienfeld PhD Harvard – Myths, or read Christina Hoff Sommers “The War On Boys”) NOW had it ass baskwards (Does anybody ever say “ass-backwards” anymore?) about claiming American Health care underserves women, (read Sally Satel M.D. author of “PC M.D.”) They have never looked at the sex games girls and and women play – or challenged the sexist views of the safe-house types who come in to our public schools to mock male sexuality during their one sided “monologues” abut sexual harassment.

    The concept of “gender harassment” will never be discussed by NOW (or the AAUW) because they are the worst offenders – Lying about the male gender doing harm to both genders by teaching hatred of men… which is now such a part of our culture that men, numbed to it, barely let it register, while another generation of boys grows up bowing down to the needs of women to “make up for” the evils of their fathers and grandfathers, … Why doesn’t Micheal Moore take his camera into a NOW program and show the truth behind the lies, oh, that’s right, he was happy to hear that when his mom )or was it grandma?) died his book was open to a page about the demise of the Y chromosome – so she must have died happy. The end product of feminist mothers and grand mothers. If NOW could they would mandate chemical castration of men and guys like Moore would be the first to volunteer to show how supportive he was of the needs of women.

    And we still have NOW in the media, including MND – after all these years despite almost always getting it wrong.

    NOW tells us that they are “The source” for information about gender issues and yet they know almost nothing about men and boys … it appears. Or at least there is no concern about boys and men compared to women. (The front page of “The Press Democrat Today” had a story about mothers in prison getting to see kids to help reduce crime by women … a full page article without mentioning fathers in prison – a program NOW would support because they are “for women” even those who steal, kill, injure others … and why only take the children to women, well, it’s obvious – silly boy, they are “mommies” and essential to the welfare of children despite chossing a life of crime risking jail, and not caring about their children’s welfare.

    And why does NOW still get so much press when they are worse than wrong… they have it backwards: It’s men’s health, boys education, that suffers compared to women and yet the media pretends to not notice that NOW has been wrong more than right and yet they are still getting attention – as if they have any credibility at all.

    Am – Thanks for the compliment.

    I believe that we should always recognize a job well done….Like my Dad, after completeion of the project of formulating the plastic for the world first production plastic shotgun shell, he ws called into the Pentagon to help them make improvments on the Napalm Bomb.

    So they took him out and showed him some demonstrations.

    He said something like. “Looks pretty damned destructive to me. I personally cannot imagine much more destruction than that!” (nor did he want to)

    (Maybe it was an Air Fuel Explosive Bomb, he did not get into details.)

    Thus I offered my Survey entry in such spirit.

    Feminist Bigotry, more destructive than 40,000 Soviet Nuclear Weapons.

    If you want to spar with NOW, why not do it in the state capitols?

    Their people in Sacramento (which is in California) are incompetent: they recently said they opposed a bill that they plainly meant to support—but then WE didn’t even show up. . . .

  • CaptDMO

    Golly, what ever happened to the simple Agree, Disagree, Not sure options
    for surveys that ask “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

    Put those assumptions down, they’re loaded!

    Pardon me if I simply refuse to play as I ASSUME there’s no
    (patriarchal) Roberts Rules of Order procedure to simply
    “Beg the Question”.

    Has NOW simply co-opted the stratagies of scientology?

  • scottkirk

    the now girls are looking a little heavy these days…It must be all that pork funding from congress..
    femi-pork starts to show on the hips after a while..
    this survey is to keep awareness of their paradimn. and not let their indoctrinates have any moments rest to possibly think any other thoughts but women-as-victim…but as you can see…this questionair is geared somewhat to women-as-savoir.????

    the victim/savoir paradigms are incompateable!!!
    but who cares, just fill out the survey…and maybe send a check to these white, middle class females.. so they can continue to strip congressional funds from all other minorities and men/children groups.
    you go girls……

    Steven Deluca…..I still say ass-backwards…but you caused me to chuckle by asking….thanks

  • thurston861

    sk perhaps we can raise awarness that they are getting a little weightey round the shank and belly?

    when a cause has won they are no longer needed except to deliver the government slop to the trough.

  • DcFather

    Leave it to the feminazis to conduct a poll that the only allowed answers support their sick anti-male, anti-children neo-Marxist agenda.

    Your tax dollars at work.

    Q. What do you call a person who opposes “turning the clocks back” twenty years, but supports turning them back 5,000 years?
    A. “Progressive”.

  • ggreen67

    “Their people in Sacramento (which is in California)”

    Wls1, what the hell is this?

    There is about a 0.0000000000000000000000000001% chance that someone here doesn’t know where the hell Sacramento is.

    Please do not belittle us!

  • scottkirk

    the femi-pigs can only keep their control by emasculateing our boys at a young age…

  • wls1

    Only _one_ person out of about 36 million Californians registered an opposing view to a bill which will repeal non-custodial parents’ right to access their children’s school and medical records, which passed a key committee last week in Sac’to, raising doubts as to how many remember exactly where the place is.
