NOW Portrays Immigrant Men as Wife-Beaters
There are legitimate arguments on both sides of the immigration
debate, but most reasonable people on both sides acknowledge that most immigrants are hard-working, decent people who (understandably) came to the US for a chance at a better life.
Not the National Organization for Women.
In a recent statement I would’ve more expected from the Ku Klux Klan than from NOW, NOW president Kim Gandy (pictured) describes immigrant men as men who “hit their [wives] frequently,” threaten to put their wives and children on the street if they ”ask them to buy groceries or clothes for the kids” and make their wives ”live in perpetual fear.”
According to Gandy, these immigrant women had better not get pregnant and/or lose their jobs, because their immigrant husbands will “beat” them for it.
Gandy’s comments are a despicable slap at the millions of immigrant men and fathers who work long hours at demanding jobs to provide for their wives and children. Exactly as both of my grandfathers did.
Gandy’s bigoted commentary can be found here. This is feminism?

I come from an immigrant family (first generation), and am outraged at her RACIST comments!
KIM GANDY is a RACIST… Immigrants do not beat their wives any more than an American man would.
I don’t agree with illegal immigration. Everyone should come here legally and obey the laws, but what Kim Gandy said is RACIST.

This is totally unsurprising: the only way irrelevant organisations can gain media time is by making outrageous comments.

What, Das Feurher Gandy a racist? Good Lord no. She loves foreign women. So much so, she doesn’t want any American man getting hold of one and lumps all foreign men who want to be in America as bad as the home grown ones. All those immigrant women are prospective NOW membership fee payers and grist for her divorce-mill. She is the main supplier to the Family Court system druggies. Anyway, she’s about to change her name to Ghandi and take up wearing a designer diaper. Racist indeed!

The feminist’s propaganda is well written. It appeals to everyone sense of justice do save the abused. Further, they use fear, uncertainty and doubt to sell their message.
Which men organizations have come to the aid of immigrant men rights?
For example when I Google “immigrant male rights”, immigrant woman rights information is returned.
I do not wonder why men have lost this battle so quickly against women. Men were in control for about 10,000 years, but in forty years, our future is grim.

Latin men are socially conservative (read: woman stay home and take care of the family). This may be an opportunity to broaden men’s rights movement through education and example.

Actually, one of the chief drawbacks of illegal immigration to this country is that it splits up families in the home country. Overwhelmingly, men are the ones who come to this country to work and send money back home. Later, if things go OK, the rest of the family may try to join the man, but that’s a bit of a rarity.

This is for Mike LaSalle
Being a Christian, I should have worded my comment better. May I ask
you to delete my comment from Glenn’s article when you get a chance.
Sorry to bother you.

WTF? How messed up in the head do you have to be to believe that immigrant men (both legal and illegal) would throw their wives and children out on the streets for asking them to pick up food or clothes for the kids?
Or for that matter, getting pregnant or losing a job.
Seriously, I hope this woman losses her support base because of this issue. Even feminists (mind you not the hardcore ones) aren’t that illogical or like sheep.

“In a recent statement I would’ve more expected from the Ku Klux Klan than from NOW…”
Why???
June 8th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
The feminist Klan rules by creating mass hysteria..
By using lurid, sensational rape/domestic abuse victim demagoguery..
This is the same tactic used by the women of the Klu Klux Klan that got men dragged from their hay loft at night, beaten and lynched in the public square.
A dirty little secret of the feminsts is that 9 out of 10 of the lyncheings in America in the deep south were over a sexual accussation…
Its the same hysteria, and lynche mentality that the feminist Klan has built, but now its all men, and not just black men.
June 8th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
The feminist Klan wanted to lynche the duke 3…
The feminist Klan is very powerfull, irrational, and dangerous…
The feminist Klan must be challenged…..

Ray is correct (as he often is) and it’s not just about immigrants, any man from any culture is targeted as being flawed, violent, inferior, to NOW and their feminist KLAN
I have talked with Klansmen and feminists as well as Blacks who hate whites… Or liberals who hate conservatives… the hatred always shows through. Hatred makes you blind. N.O.W. hasn’t killed millions, or even a few (Unless you count embroys, or destroyed families – ya, unless you count men in prison who are innocent but seen as guilty because of the success of NOW bashing men for decades… a man and woman argue, the judge pushes the default button, he is guilty, judges and cops trained to see the world through feminist eyes. ) calling them Nazis or KKK types offends some… but how many feminists would like to end male births… with their idea of a utopia where “women would be fat and happy – in a world without war – they tell us, because women are peace makers – sitting around eating chocolate while giving each other backrubs and tips on vibrators and artificial insemination … ” No more toilet lids left up. A perfect and very dull world once men are gone. Wasn’t that way in my house with a sexually abusive grand ma and a mother who loved to inflict pain, and I am SURE my house wasn’t the only one where a woman’s violence destroyed lives, or at least made life difficult for the children who took a few years to work out the “issues” to find a good life.
But the problem is, with hateful people, these women would, without men to hate, turn their own self hatred on each other,
maybe some people are just born hateful and men were so easy to hate because so few spoke up, or fought back, like the Jews with Germans… the Jews eventually learned to fight back but after a hell of a lose. Wonder if they could do it over if they would have been less found of “gun control” and pacifism. Wonder if men could do it over if they would have gone to Viet Nam without claiming gender discrimination while women at that time, facing a much easier life claimed only women bleed;
Most men still can’t see the future, we’ve lost the schools, lost the press, … How is it that the press stilll believes that they need to check in with N.O.W. after all their MS.Information for so many years… men running to NOW for a press statement, pathetic… I feel a lecture coming on… smile And still there is only a handful of men willing to protest. Go Ray. You are still the gold standard of protest for men. Love your new truck.

I remember a Jewish woman feminist who was offended by the comparison between NOW and the Nazis because she said the feminists never went to far as to start killing men.
There’s a simple reason for this: The feminists haven’t done anything on their own. Ever. It’s not just that without men there’d be nobody to hate, they simply would have NOTHING. They’d starve (along with their daughters) in seconds and would be left with small villages handwashing their clothes in the stream.
They hate men particularly because they recognize that chivalrous westernized men are so wimpy and chivalrous. They wouldn’t dare, say, hate men who weren’t chivalrous because even in their mind they possess even lucidity to know they’d get put in their place in seconds. Like a cat, they know that the hand that feeds them probably belongs to someone who will think twice about hitting them back if they bite it.

” because she said the feminists never went so far as killing men”
why would the feminists kill their slaves…It makes no sense..
They would rather psychologically casrate, and use hysterical victim demagoguery to shame them into a state of servitude..

Personally, I like it when one victim cult goes after another victim cult – gives the heterosexual white Christian males a breather.
